It was kinda funny. I must hand it to Tom as he plays the humorous aspect up well in an understated yet effective way here. Tom is surely one of my wife's celebrity exemptions, so we've seen a lot of Tom flicks. It's been touted as Groundhog Day meets Alien (although it should really be Alien 2 because that one had the exo-suits). I kept thinking how great EoT would have been with Bill Murray. Time travel flicks always have massive plot flaws, but oh well. The digital Mimic alien squids were a little annoying. I did like that Emily Blunt used a giant sword-like cricket bat.
