Private Cage is recruited to fight against aliens called Mimics (though he isn't happy about it). He is a beginner, having only been an officer, and has no idea what to do with his weapon. Therefore, he is not very prepared to fight o the beaches of Britain. Cage manages to kill one mimic, (a bigger and blue one) -- and then it explodes and soaks him in its blood, leaving him dead.
And then he wakes up, exactly where he started the day. He keeps dying, and waking up, and dying, and waking up, until one soldier, the face of the war, tells him, "Find me when you wake up." And then the adventure to win the war begins.
I liked this because it is an action movie and a time travel-ish movie all in one. It is kind of like Groundhog Day meets Source Code meets Aliens. One quote from the movie is, "We've never got this far before." Clearly, it's also like a video game -- getting as far as you can, dying, and then doing it again, trying a slightly different path. Except this is more, well, dire.
