August Film Club - Edge of Tomorrow

Welcome to the August Warner Bros Film Club! This month we’re on a journey to save the world from an alien invasion. The catch? You have to die and go through the same battle over and over again. Join us in reliving the future sci-fi classic that is Edge of Tomorrow!

ABOUT EDGE OF TOMORROW

The world’s favourite movie star Tom Cruise stars in this alien-slaying epic as Major William Cage, a public affairs officer doomed to die in a battle he has no military training for. Emily Blunt is Sergeant Rita Vrataski, a celebrated war hero considered the military’s greatest weapon against the alien threat. As Cage lays dying on the battlefield of the failed attack, it seems like all hope is lost… until he wakes up ready to do it all over again.
Learning how to take the aliens down one repeated day at a time, Cruise and Blunt are a tour de force of action heroism. Already an action cult favourite, Edge of Tomorrow is a must-see for any fan of the genre or film history in general. With a dark twist on the timeless time loop trope, the film doesn’t shy away from the harshness of war while still managing to be a fun, humorous, and unique exploration of an alien invasion.
