Major Cage (Tom Cruise), was an officer in US Army, and used to work behind his desk as an officer, when finally he was forced to join forces in front line to fight the massive attack of alien in the shore of Europe.
Knowing that he had no skill at all in battlefield, this charming officer is trying to avoid this task, until he suddenly woke up in the middle of combat camp, just few hours before the departure.
Confuse by the situation and sophisticated new equipment, he found himself really in terrifying situation, where he finally got the chance to see Rita (Emily Blunt) who known as the Lady of Steel, who won one of the big battle against the aliens once.
So, Cage was assigned in this battle and without knowing how to survive the battle, he was pushed into the battle, and those soldier just felt down like flies. The story begins to be interested when by accident, and desperately, Cage was cornered by a big alien creature, and he decided to bomb himself as his last protection. He surely died and torn apart just under that big creature when somehow he woke up again just like the first day he arrived in that base camp.
He started the day again, which exactly the same, but only Cage can remember that, and when he died in the battle, somehow he turned back again to the same day he woke up, over and over again.
It came to make sense to him, when he finally got the change to meet Rita in the battle, and when Cage told her that he had the same day for over and over every time he died, surprisely, Rita knew what's going on. Apparently, she had the experienced before. This fenomena happened because at the time when Cage bombed himself, he was fighting and facing Alpha. Alpha is the big creature who was like a general to them. So the trick is, when this Alpha was killed, Omega, which is the mother of all the creature would set back the time (don't ask me how), so Alpha can reset the day and they would never be lost in the battle. When Cage killed it by bombing himself together with Alpha, the blood of Alpha poured his body. It makes Cage considered as Alpha. So when he was killed, the system in mother Alien reset back the time again.
Huff.. kind of confusing right? Anyway, by this blessing, Cage and Rita was trying to win the battle, by calculating and making strategy based on the experience Cage got before he died. It means that Cage has to die everyday to get the clear image about what they should and shouldn't do to fight those aliens.
And the objective is to kill Omega, which is the mother of all alien machine brain. Killing Omega means winning the war.
One blooper in this movie I find is, in the cast list, the secretary of Army General named is Judith, while I see in movie is Irish.
It's one of my favorite movie, very entertaining, yet the story is shallow, still this is a good movie that can cheers up your weekend with the family, and boys.
