8 | Starship Troopers and Groundhog Day had a baby

In 2020 good sci-fi is hard to find so i looked back to 2014 and found this gem which is better than just about anything made in the last few years.



This is an action packed alien invasion / time loop story which I very much enjoyed. The main characters are well acted as are the support, there is some intentional humour even during the brutal action sequences. I was worried the time loop narrative would get repetitive and boring but story moved along quickly enough to keep me interested The sets and production values are AAA blockbuster standard but are let down slightly by the predictable CGI monsters moving at lightening speed that all these types of movies seem to have.



All in all 8 stars from me.
