Gee, when I recently complained the lack of promising (US) summer films this years, I had forgotten about the new Tom Cruise science fiction outing Edge of Tomorrow.
An early (sort of) review for it on io9 reckons it's terrific, and it has good reviews on Rottentomatoes too.
Cruise always impresses with how much he throws himself physically into his science fiction/action films. His Spielberg movies were great, Mission Impossible 1 and 4 were very enjoyable, and I even liked Oblivion quite a bit last year. So I will be very pleased if this one is also good, if it encourages him to continue to pick intelligent and entertaining science fiction that is not a frickin' superhero/comic book movie.
True, Cruise does do scifi very well and does throw himself into the roll. If not for that I'd dismiss him as an actor.
