The best sci-fi action movie of the past 15 years has finally hit Netflix

Exactly ten years ago, one of the best action films in science fiction hit the big screen.

A 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes, a 7.9 out of 10 score on Kinopoisk, critical acclaim, tens of thousands of rave reviews in Russia alone and starring Tom Cruise.

All this about “Edge of Tomorrow”, based on the light novel of the same name* by Hiroshi Sakurazaki.

The plot takes viewers to the near future, where humanity has been attacked by invulnerable alien invaders, and the only hope for victory is Major William Cage.

He dies in battle and is caught in a time loop: he lives, dies, and repeats the cycle. What seems like a trap becomes the key to unraveling the mystery of the aliens and their impending defeat.

Playing with time is a risky business that can easily turn a film into a confusing tangle of events, but the makers are up to the task.

The result is a logical, exciting adventure with charming characters and a truly strong female character.

“Dynamic, without sagging, full of action. I didn’t even feel like the film was running for almost two hours,” one of the reviewers shared his impressions.

An appearance on Netflix is ​​not only a second chance for the project, but also a great opportunity for the audience to catch up.

The film was not a hit in the year of its release and had moderate box office revenue, but its second place in the streaming service’s top 10 speaks for itself.
