What do you get if you cross a big-budget humanity-vs-aliens action movie with Groundhog Day?
Tom Cruise plays a lily-livered US Army pen-pusher who, thanks to some alien time-travel technology, gets to relive the same day, over and over again.
Until he’s developed into a hero worthy of being played by Cruise.
Edge of Tomorrow is released nationwide from Saturday 30 May
