Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Children of Men (2006).
Can't choose? Answer three questions and get one movie for tonight.
If Edge of Tomorrow hit the spot, these will too

A grim future job done with grim efficiency and no wasted motion
The difference: One brutal push upward — no restarts, no growth, just attrition

Slick future action with a puzzle at the center of the noise
The difference: A detective story with answers to find — no loop, no learning curve

Survival as a system to be studied, gamed and beaten
The difference: A villain's slow origin — political scheming over combat

A grim system beaten only by learning it section by section
The difference: Allegory over adrenaline — brutal, strange and political

Training, hardware, and an alien war fought over and over
The difference: Colorful, sincere and huge — awe replaces the black comedy

A soldier turned into a symbol grinding toward a final push
The difference: Heavy and mournful — the war is political, and the humor is gone

Humanity outmatched by an alien invasion and learning to fight
The difference: YA formula, badly reviewed — the invasion loses to romance

One thread runs through both: dystopia
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Timelines reset mid-war until the rules themselves bend
The difference: Convoluted franchise salvage — the loop logic collapses

A nobody discovering that skill can be acquired and reality gamed
The difference: Mythic and philosophical — chosen-one weight instead of dry repetition

A hopeless assignment carried out amid overwhelming chaos
The difference: Grim and ground-level — despair without the propulsive fun

A recruit forced to prove herself in a system built to sort people
The difference: YA scale and slower — identity and romance, not lethal repetition
