Tom Cruise travels back in time repeatedly to find a way to defeat alien invaders. Aliens have invaded the earth and Tom Cruise finds himself dying in battle. But after dying he wakes up a day earlier. In fact, he dies repeatedly but wakes up a day before each time he dies. Supersoldier Emily Blunt informs him that he is traveling back in time using alien technology. Blunt (who looks very appealing with bleached vanilla hair and bulky armor suggesting breasts) trains him and helps him figure out how to defeat the aliens. Every time he is killed he learns a little more and they get a little farther. They have to defeat the Omega alien mastermind to defeat all the aliens.

There are a LOT of fight scenes repeated over and over and over, and a lot of drill sergeants yelling repeated over and over, which kind of gets kind of grating over time. I realize in a time travel movie like this, that this has to happen, but the constant dying gets a more than a little unpleasant after a while. Emily Blunt is cute and the (unintentionally) funniest scene is when she is all sweaty lying down on a gym mat and thrusting forward, like a guy. It's supposed to be sweaty but you can see that without her armor she has the body of a boy. Tom Cruise is starting to age too, something has happened to his nose it is looking big and wide like a Cosby nose. They tried to have some romance in the movie but Blunt was as cold as a wet fish, and the movie ends with Blunt, not remembering the past, snarling at Tom Cruise.
Best part of story, including ending:
The sad, depressing scenes repeating over and over was not enjoyable. The aliens looked like the metal squids from the Matrix and weren't very interesting.
Best scene in story:
When Emily Blunt was on the mat and thrusting forward like she was a guy sleeping with a woman.
Opinion about the main character:
Tom Cruise was Tom Cruise, cool, confident, he was fine.
