Edge of Tomorrow

Emily Blunt, Tom Cruise

Futuristic action/thriller with time travel added for a mind-bendingly complicated story. Aliens have invaded Earth (always a bad thing) and their ability to re-set time after a defeat makes them very hard to defeat because they'll just keep re-setting until they figure out how to overcome whatever obstacles we put in their way.

Lots of whiz-bang CGI but the premise had me constantly trying to understand where we were going and how we were going to get there. The last act took place entirely in the dark - the second film this year to do so - which came across as a cop out.

Still, this was intriguing and a bit above most action films.
