Looking back at Edge of Tomorrow in the context of the movies that followed, the 2014 film feels like more than a well-liked sci-fi actioner.
Tom Cruise knows that nothing he does is ever “just” a movie. We often think of him, deservedly or not, as one of the last movie stars, one of the holdouts of a dying breed that’s been eclipsed by the kind of films that sell the characters and the premise more than the actors.
Cruise plays William Cage, a slick and TV-ready media manager for the U.S. military who’s become one of the primary spokesman for a global war against an alien menace called “Mimics.” After crash-landing on our planet, the Mimics launched a land war against humanity, conquering much of Europe and leaving world governments struggling to find a solution.
These ideas, coupled with Liman’s shooting style, will, for many viewers, immediately conjure up video games, something the filmmakers were definitely aware of in scenes where Cage and Rita walk through the steps of their mission like they’re reading a game walkthrough online. And yes,is basically about a guy who got the unlimited extra lives cheat and has to use it to beat the game.
