Movie Mania: Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Using the time-loop made famous by Groundhog Day, this sci-fi spectacular combines alien invasion theatrics with some genuinely funny moments.
In the near future, humanity is fighting a losing war against a fearsome extraterrestrial race, known as Mimics. When cowardly public relations man Major William Cage (Cruise) is unexpectedly thrown into a disastrous battle in Northern France, a Mimic quickly kills him.
However, Cage wakes up again the previous morning and begins reliving the lead-up to his death – although nobody believes his story except Sergeant Rita Vrataski (Blunt).
Together, the duo attempt to harness Cage’s newfound powers to overcome the seemingly indestructible enemy and save mankind.
Starring: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Brendan Gleeson
Celeb Trivia
Before joining Jared Leto’s prog-rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars as lead guitarist in 2003, Tomo Milicevic was a certified pastry chef specialising in wedding cake decorating.
The 35-year-old was born in war-torn Sarajevo and fled to the States with his family as a baby – where he was shot in the leg as a teenager while hanging outside his father’s Dunkin Donuts store in Michigan. The family later relocated to Los Angeles.
Tomo is also the younger brother of actress Ivana Milicevic. In the past 20 years, Ivana has racked up film and television credits including Casino Royale, Love Actually, Friends and American Dad.
Thirty Seconds to Mars recently announced their impending Dubai debut, at the World Trade Centre Arena on Friday, April 10.
