Edge of Tomorrow presents a Sci-fi action films that is engaging and thrilling from start to finish. Based on a Japanese Light novel (which makes perfect sense) the films presents a really interesting story and concept that's a lot of fun with some really good visual effects. The problem that brings it's down for me though is it's cinematography, it opts for the shakycam quick cut style which although I understand is meant to make you delirious, it always annoys and frustrates me because it makes it hard to get a clear view of the action and just looks awful which is a shame because there's a fantastic shot when Tom Cruise make his first decent from the plane which is done in one spinning seamless take but it fails to do anything like this later on. Other than that though this film is thoroughly enjoyable and overall lots of fun.
