It was repetitive for a couple of reasons:
First, the story was a mash-up of virtually every other Tom Cruise movie, and Groundhog Day. Our hero (yawn) is stuck in an ever-recurring day as a new recruit to the front line against the alien forces.
Second, Tom Cruise plays Tom Cruise as he always does, with the same look, the same voice, the same action sequences. At least Emily Blunt was in a refreshing change from her usual roles, and she buckled her swash as well as our mad Scientologist.
But this doesn't have a complex plot, nor particularly fiendish aliens, so it's not RAVE-worthy.
