I am not a Tom Cruise fan at all, but on a whim I decided to rewatch this movie. I was pleasantly surprised by the rewatch.

I remembered that the movie started with a bang and was doing great until Cruise and Blunt got to the farm house then it stalled.

That was not my experience this time around. This was a really fun movie. The production values were top notch, the action was spectacular and the movie did a really good job of sticking to its logic. I also really loved the mech suits. I list this as the best use of a mech suit in a movie with District 9 and Avatar as a close second and third.

Don't like Cruise either, but I'm a sucker for any Groundhog Day temporal loop films, so I really enjoyed this one.

If you haven't seen Palm Springs with Andy Samberg, it's really good. Another Groundhog Day kinda movie

Read the original comment and was gonna suggest Palm Springs. Glad someone beat me to it

I prefer to see this one as a video game, the main character keeps dying and respawning at the beginning of the game, and it could be days between spawn and respawn.
Then about 2/3 through, it goes into Survival Mode.

Like The Outer Wilds (if you take the threat of stopping the loop seriously)? No fighting though, but similar discovery loop leading to a commit and execute run.
