Director: Doug Liman
Writers: Dante Harper, Joby Harold, Alex Kurtzman, Christopher McQuarrie, & Roberto Orci
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1631867/
Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_You...ill_%28film%29

Synopsis:

The story unfolds in a near future in which a hive-like alien race, called Mimics, have hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, shredding great cities to rubble and leaving millions of human casualties in their wake. No army in the world can match the speed, brutality or seeming prescience of the weaponized Mimic fighters or their telepathic commanders. But now the world’s armies have joined forces for a last stand offensive against the alien horde, with no second chances.

Lt. Col. Bill Cage is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously demoted and then dropped—untrained and ill-equipped—into what amounts to little more than a suicide mission. Cage is killed within minutes, managing to take an Alpha down with him. But, impossibly, he awakens back at the beginning of the same hellish day, and is forced to fight and die again…and again. Direct physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop—dooming him to live out the same brutal combat over and over.

But with each pass, Cage becomes tougher, smarter, and able to engage the Mimics with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski, who has lain waste to more Mimics than anyone on Earth. As Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated battle becomes an opportunity to find the key to annihilating the alien invaders and saving the Earth.

He was still with Katie and had the crazy in check, now, who knows what he'll do.

I wonder how touching an alien causes a time loop.

**Tyrath** · 2012-10-09 11:54

Would've been far more awesome with Brad Pitt but I still may watch this depending on how it looks in the future.

Official Synopsis;

The story unfolds in a near future in which a hive-like alien race, called Mimics, have hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, shredding great cities to rubble and leaving millions of human casualties in their wake. No army in the world can match the speed, brutality or seeming prescience of the weaponized Mimic fighters or their telepathic commanders. But now the world’s armies have joined forces for a last stand offensive against the alien horde, with no second chances.

Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously demoted and then dropped—untrained and ill-equipped—into what amounts to little more than a suicide mission. Cage is killed within minutes, managing to take an Alpha down with him. But, impossibly, he awakens back at the beginning of the same hellish day, and is forced to fight and die again…and again. Direct physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop—dooming him to live out the same brutal combat over and over.

But with each pass, Cage becomes tougher, smarter, and able to engage the Mimics with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt), who has lain waste to more Mimics than anyone on Earth. As Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated battle becomes an opportunity to find the key to annihilating the alien invaders and saving the Earth.

The book is decent. I'm watching this to see how they make it work on the screen.

**Waraji** · 2013-12-11 15:24

Yo fo real, first paragraph of the synopsis made me think was the sequel to Oblivion. Anyone?

**Iono** · 2013-12-11 15:35

ya, thought so too. Prequel tho.

**Odesseiron** · 2013-12-12 00:06

I'm not gonna lie. I'm gonna go see it first weekend. It's sci fi. Tom Cruise is that dude everyone loves to hate, but then goes to see his movies.
