Major Bill Cage is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously demoted and dropped into combat. Cage is killed within minutes, managing to take an alpha alien down with him. He awakens back at the beginning of the same day and is forced to fight and die again... and again - as physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop.

Author: Arcanum101
End of the world groundhog day sci-fi monster movie. Tom Cruise playing an utter coward, at least in the beginning, is a refreshing change. This is one of those 'repeat incident' movies you have to keep watching, just to see what's going to change next time around. Oh, and the alien beasts, more over the way they move, are utterly terrifying. Unfortunately, the out-of-step ending leaves you thinking "Wait, what?"
