Very good movie. Suffered from possibly one of the worst trailers you'll ever see. Definitely recommend.

I laughed when he kept getting killed...esp when he got run over by the truck.
Saw it on the plane recently, was pleasantly surprised as well, as it seemed to get crap reviews.

Yep pretty good movie, well worth a watch for sure.
Didnt really think it dragged out all that much, a bit predictable at times but I'd pretty easily watch it again

It may have been the distraction of sorting out the Qantas media player, but I missed why he was ordered to go into battle so abruptly from his cushie job?
Also, when they get to the Helicopter, was it alluding to the fact that he had been there dozens of times romancing Emily Blunt?
Another LOL was when he gave up on pushing the fat dude out of the way and let him get squashed.

I cant remember specifically, but he was forced to go by the commander he was speaking to in the original scene
Something about "selling the message" and him being on the front line would help give confidence to the troops/people etc about their plan. He refused, the commander got angry at him and forced him in to the situation the sequence started in, as some random newbie who nobody knew that had to fight
I thought Cruise's line "I do this so I don't have to do that [ie. fighting]" said a lot about the character.
Awesome film, had always been meaning to check it out after seeing the trailer months ago... never got around to it until the dvd/blu-ray release.
At first I found it slow to start off, granted I know why as a movie has to set itself up somehow. I usually don't give movies much of a chance if they feel as though they drag on in the introduction. But it kicks in fairly quickly after a slow few minutes, love the ground hog day death moments
. The movie itself was good up until the last 20 minutes that's when I started tapering off.
The ending was nice, would have been cooler to see the source material adapted more closely. Even though it would have been more confusing to others.

Watched it tonight. Pretty good film. Entertaining mix of sci-fi, action and time travel.
The last 2 minutes were quite lame. Vintage Hollywood "Send the audience home on an upper" copout.

It was a sci fi version of Groundhog Day. I thought it was a pretty decent movie, despite a few flaws.
It definitely had a video game feel to it, whereby your character dies mid-mission, and you reload from the last save point.
I like to not go back to the same save point, again and again and again.

Let's hit the f*ken road!
Pleasantly surprised how good this movie was. It's not usually my type of thing but thought it was pretty clever.
