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.

starring Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Brendan Gleeson, Bill Paxton

Sitting at the top end of the table is Edge of Tomorrow (AKA: Live Die Repeat). Adapted from”

“**An effective film that works reasonably well, but still feels like a pretext for massive CGI.** In recent years, it seems to have become a convention that it takes an insane amount of special effects to make a good movie.
