Never saw it in the theater, but I just got the DVD via Netflix.
I have to say, it was surprisingly good. That's 2 good sci-fi flicks in a row for Tom Cruise (counting Oblivion).
This wasn't earth shattering, but it was a fun action flick, with an interesting - if not novel - sci-fi idea.
Without giving away any spoilers, it's Starship Troopers meets Groundhog Day (this is already revealed in the trailers). Matter of fact, I REALLY wish this directory would do a remake of Starship Troopers.
There's a little bit of romance to keep the wife/gf/significant other interested, there's a lot of humor (some of it dark humor - think back to Groundhog Day), and hell of a lot of cool exo-skeleton armored infantry vs alien combat.
It's not going to blow your mind like Interstellar, but it's an action packed fun romp.
Well worth renting.
