Major Bill Cage is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously demoted and dropped into combat. Cage is killed within minutes, managing to take an alpha alien down with him. He awakens back at the beginning of the same day and is forced to fight and die again... and again - as physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop.
In a near future where Earth is losing a war against an alien race known as Mimics, Major William Cage, a communications officer with no combat experience, is unwillingly drafted into a suicide mission. He finds himself in a time loop, reliving the same brutal battle over and over, each death resetting his day. Cage must use his repeated experiences to learn from his mistakes, improve his combat skills, and find a way to defeat the seemingly unstoppable alien invaders with the help of a legendary special forces warrior.

I have to say that this movie was surprisingly enjoyable. I did have my doubts about it. I always have doubts about movies that manipulate time. I guess one advantage the movie has is that it does not really involve time travel and changing...
Not a bad movie, got kind of sick of the "ground hog day" effect. Could have used less of that, all in all pretty enjoyable to watch.
Interesting enough and with a decent script for this kind of Sci-Fi movies. The FX are also OK. Tom Cruise does an OK job and Emily Blunt nails her character, being the brightest thing in screen every time she appears.
