Sci-fi fans can rejoice as a critically acclaimed movie is making its way to Netflix this week.

The film has 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and a star-studded cast that offers up a futuristic world run by an alien race - what more could you want?

The movie received rave reviews despite not breaking the box office, which some claim was due to the flick’s 'respect for the standards' of science fiction.

Edge of Tomorrow follows two characters played by Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt after an alien civilization lands in Germany and conquers most of continental Europe.

As a war begins, aliens use time loops to assist themselves in battles until William Cage (played by Cruise) begins to use the time loops himself to try to win the war for the humans.

He trains with Rita Vrataski (played by Blunt) and ends up dying a thousand deaths, going back to the past each time to try to save himself - and some of the deaths are pretty funny.

The film earned a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes and critics have made some glowing reviews.

One critic wrote: “Edge of Tomorrow is a rousing adventure filled with pulse-pounding thrills and surprising dashes of character-driven humor, the film a breathless two hours of fun worth celebrating.”

Another said: “This is the kind of thoughtfully constructed movie that other summertime blockbusters should aspire to be more like, clever and cool and never giving you that ho-hum sense that you've seen it all before.”

And a third added: “Edge of Tomorrow is acceptable escapist entertainment whose unexpected plot developments give it much-needed originality. The action scenes are handled with expected skill, the heroes are intrepid and the creatures are suitable nasty and vicious.”

The audience have also been left impressed with film, leaving their own reviews.

One said: “One of my all-time favorites. Intelligent script, well-acted, appropriately paced. Never feels repetitive despite the premise.”

And another added: “The only reason this movie didn't make it in the box office was its hard-core respect for the standards of intelligent science fiction. This movie is well-written, brilliantly edited, excellently directed, perfectly performed.... and overlooked. Its visual effects are from the Marvel universe, but that's where the comparison stops, because it makes its viewers responsible for staying on top of it. I'm certainly not a huge Tom Cruise fan, but he did it here, and so did Emily Blunt and the rest of a fine cast.”

Edge of Tomorrow is available to stream on Netflix from September 6.
