When a soldier is killed battling space aliens only to be resurrected to fight the same battle again, he must fight and die every day until he learns how to defeat the aliens.

This film was done with Tom Cruise; Edge of Tomorrow. May I suggest changing the antagonists. Set in in a different reality than what has already been done. ?Though, EofT was just a few years ago.

I agree that the inciting incident is his initial resurrection . ?Which doesn't occur until almost 30 minutes into the film, another instance of a story that violates the 15 minute rule for the inciting incident.

But that death and resurrection is only the first of innumerable deaths and resurrections and that's the story hook , that he must suffer, die, be resurrected day after day after day until he gets it right, figures out how to defeat the aliens.

It's a good parallel to the Ground Hog-Day scenario.

I think the inciting incident is when he is resurrected, perhaps there's no need to mention "...when killed...":

After a soldier is resurrected, he is forced to re live the day he died in order to learn how to defeat the Alien's they're fighting and stop the war.
