Tom Cruise mainly makes action films under the motto “all or nothing”. That means: the superstar is always trying to offer his audience something that has never been seen before. And success proves him right – at least in most cases. While his “Mission: Impossible” films have become more and more successful over time, and “Top Gun: Maverick” even achieved the biggest hit of his career by far, one film is the sad exception, and that is a huge crowd . , but still fell short of expectations at the box office – making a highly anticipated sequel unthinkable: “Edge Of Tomorrow”.
In 2014, the science fiction action thrilled both the specialized press and the public and, after eight years, it is not only considered by the author of this article as one of the blockbuster highlights of the recent past that keeps coming back: Yes, Edge Of Tomorrow can be enjoyed at least as many times as Tom Cruise’s Bill Cage dies in the time warp adventure – and it really is often. Do you want to throw yourself into the alien invasion over and over again with Tom Cruise or finally catch up with the cracker? Then you now (still!) have the very handy option to do this: “Edge Of Tomorrow” is only available for subscriptions through December 19 Amazon Prime video available:

“Edge Of Tomorrow”: And the alien invasion greets you every day
In Edge Of Tomorrow, Major Bill Cage is forced into battle against alien invaders with no combat experience. And he must realize after a short time that his mission is a real suicide squad. For Cage dies shortly after setting foot on the battlefield. However, this is where the real problems begin.
Because the neo-frontline soldier wakes up shortly after in the morning of the same day! Trapped in a time warp, he relives the same day over and over again – until he informs legendary warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt) of his predicament and finds in her an ally willing to help him end this tormented ( and be the best to end the war against the aliens too)…
