'Edge Of Tomorrow' Trailer #2: Live, Die, Repeat With Tom Cruise's Sci-Fi Action Film

The second Edge of Tomorrow trailer is now online. Starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, Doug Liman directs the time-traveling, sci-fi action film based on the graphic novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. Think Groundhog Day meets Aliens. It's out June 6. Check out the latest Edge of Tomorrow trailer below.

Here's the trailer from Warner Bros.

People I've talked to who saw early test screenings of Edge of Tomorrow weren't particularly kind, but as a action and time travel fan, I can't help but get excited by that trailer. The fact Cruise's character has been in this loop for what he says is an "eternity" is just such a deep concept to wrap around a very visually stimulating idea: mech suits versus some kind of enemy. I have lots of hope for this one.

What about you? What did you think of the second Edge of Tomorrow trailer?

Here's the official description:

The story unfolds in a near future in which a hive-like alien race, called Mimics, have hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, shredding great cities to rubble and leaving millions of human casualties in their wake. No army in the world can match the speed, brutality or seeming prescience of the weaponized Mimic fighters or their telepathic commanders. But now the world's armies have joined forces for a last stand offensive against the alien horde, with no second chances.

Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously demoted and then dropped—untrained and ill-equipped—into what amounts to little more than a suicide mission. Cage is killed within minutes, managing to take an Alpha down with him. But, impossibly, he awakens back at the beginning of the same hellish day, and is forced to fight and die again...and again. Direct physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop—dooming him to live out the same brutal combat over and over.

But with each pass, Cage becomes tougher, smarter, and able to engage the Mimics with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt), who has lain waste to more Mimics than anyone on Earth. As Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated battle becomes an opportunity to find the key to annihilating the alien invaders and saving the Earth.
