And it´s still a mediocre adaptation at best. Ofc there´s limits to how much you can develop a character in a movie vs a long running media like a manga or a tvshow, but the overall plot gets super muddy and full of plot holes and other stuff that makes no sense.
yeah it was from a not so overused IP, had a big star, some great effects, good story, so weird that it didn't pop off. Hard for smaller movies to peek through
I wonder if, to Tom Cruise, this is his perfect movie. After all, if you are a fan then you will love this film. If, however, you utterly hate Tom Cruise, you will love this film because you get to watch him die a thousand ways.
It had a cliche romance ending. But in a good way. He is looking forward to all the stages of building a relationship with a woman he already knows and loves.
@@purplemoss3313 In the manga, both the main characters have the power, and after killing all the "antenna mimics (the alphas in this movie) They both are forced to fight to the death because they're both also parts of the omega and he kills her for the greater good.
When Cage died the first time and his blood mixed with the Alpha, he stole the Mimics' ability to reset the day. When Cage died the last time and his blood mixed with the Omega's, he not only reset time, but stole the Omega's power altogether which made all the Mimics weak and easy to kill.
The, "Mimic," thing is because the aliens were actually alien weapons sent from another planet. They were a form of bio-weapon that would study the native life of the target planet, then mimic useful parts of the local biology in order to operate effectively as weapons in a hostile environment. The basic form that the mimics took on Earth was based off of starfish, combined with other things that the aliens found useful. The movie talks about it, (in a passing way that isn't very helpful,) but the aliens landed a while ago, and the war has been going on for a while. They are only now suddenly breaking out of containment zones and sweeping all resistance away. This is because it's taken them time to perfect the ideal physical forms for use in defeating the dominant Earth species, humanity.
@@menwithven8114 manga is a comic but from japan. Thats the oversimplification for it. Chinese call theirs differently, Korean call it differently. The point is all of it are comic. Different way to call it so its easier to tell the difference. The only major difference in the content is the art style. Comic have its own art style. Manga have a separate categories of art style by it self. Chinese have their own and so on.
I’ll never forget when I was getting off of opiates in rehab back in 2016 and the only two dvds we had to watch were this and gone girl sooo I saw this movie pretty much every night for 3 months straight lmao still love it tho and for anyone curious I stayed clean and have a daughter today!!!!
I'm still baffled by how this movie exists! someone managed to convince a big holywood studio to make a high budget movie based on a pretty unknown light novel! bruh what? how?
They also wanted her as Captain Marvel ... and they did talk to her about it ... but I do believe she turned them down, but was very honored to have been wanted for the role. I do believe she will end up doing one of the Marvel Universe films eventually.
The original manga for this actually has a far more somber story if anyone wants to take a look. It's called All You Need is Kill and it's honestly pretty great for how short it is.
The film is great action sci-fi popcorn flick... the book is more intricate sci-fi and feels like, unlike the film, just a slice of a bigger war story. I guess a US film audience wouldn't accept a film where they didn't end the war. The reset trigger was different as well, he didn't have to die in the book.
It’s amazing how one of the best video game movies ever made isn’t even based on an actual video game, but has all the mechanics and plot points of one. I mean for God’s sake Emily Blunt has Cloud Strife’s freakin Buster Sword! 🗡🗡
After the film's box-office failure in the U.S., (it still managed to turn a profit worldwide), its marketing strategy was changed slightly for its DVD release. In this case, on the front of the video box, the film's tagline was emphasized heavily, with the title "Edge of Tomorrow" in small text at the very bottom of the case. As a result of this packaging, it gives the illusion that the film's title is "Live Die Repeat." Warner Bros. maintained that the title of the film had not been changed and that "Live Die Repeat" was only a tagline, yet this appears in front of "Edge of Tomorrow" not just on the cover, but on the spine of the packaging and even on the discs. The rental company Red Box has the film listed under the letter "L" in its kiosks, and all online retailers have the digital streaming version titled "Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow."
I have a special appreciation for the repeat aspect. You can tell he's skipped a couple of loops based on what he does and says. I love how the creators haven't treated its audience like idiots.
@@zammmerjammer yeah I hate that movie as well! It is just kind of bad messaging to put out to young women and people in general plus it just isn’t a great movie (though it gets treated like it is). Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci totally steal the show which is saying something with Meryl Streep as your co-star. But I think she was just so irredeemable and unlikable and was rather predictable
This movie is great but I probably loved it more because I knew absolutely NOTHING about the movie before seeing it. I had just bought a 3D TV, saw it had familiar names and it ended up being one of all time favorite scifi movies.
Day 1- Cage wakes up in the heli early morning around 7am. Tries to go AWOL gets knocked out Day 1 p2 - wakes up handcuffed a few hours later. Around 10am. Day2 - invasion happens, around 10am, cage dies and gets “infected” by an alpha, restarts 24 hours later to day 1 p2. Later cage loses his ability and realizes where the omega is. Gets the crew and successfully kills the omega but gets infected again. This takes place on the early morning of day 2. Hours before the invasion. Say around 6am. So when he resets for the last time he jumps back 24 hours.. to when he was asleep in the heli. Makes perfect sense.
Not much of a fan of Tom but he is so good in this movie. It's one of the those movies that you can watch again and again. And completely underrated. Reminds me of Master and Commander, The Far Side of the World. Some idiot tweeted Russell Crow about how boring it was. And now everyone is watching it and being blown away. I'd love to see your reaction to Master and Commander.
to clarify why they don't just find another Alpha to have two people with the power... all the Soldier Mimics are just base animal berserkers with no time abilities; but the Alpha's are all conscious of the reset, so they are constantly shifting pattern to compensate for what they see in the field. so it's a random shot trying to spot a 1-in-a-million thing regularly, but with the alpha's pattern changing too...it becomes a 1-in-a-million times a million-minus-two shot at finding it (the 2 being it finds you and you find it), it'd be an eternity of Mimic-Shiny-hunting Hell. also why they're called mimics, they basically a horde with no intelligence right? so for that 1st day of battle they were random, then when the Alpha's have recognized patterns they came in and started to command like telepathically to recreate the human battle strategy to gauge the humans response capability so they have a frame of reference for what to do next time; and from there use those tactics to get new responses they sort of play this mimic strategy so they don't just get nuked, if your enemy faces an army of perfect fighters; they're gonna just go all out and respond in ultimates and decimate your forces but if you give your enemy similar challenges they feel they can respond and you can beat them at their game. Plus when they have all the battle strategy of the planets' dominant forces down, they can just one day "do a perfect run" and take the world over and go on using that gained experience for the next conquest. They're a perfect warring hive mind that accumulates all the strats of it's conquered foes to make the next war easier.
Wonderfully underrated movie! Surpsingly fresh given its premis. If the group hasn't seen "Midnight Special", please consider reacting to it! Stars Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, Adam Driver and the late Sam Shepherd.
I love how the main characters become insane killing machines in the exoskeletons, whereas everyone else struggles to even jog in them. Not fearing death helped them to push their limits, so they learned to utilize the exoskeletons' full potential.
23:20 in the Manga, they are called Mimics, cause they have the same shape and features as CLassic Fantasy RPG Mimics, shapeshifting monsters with gigantic mouths and Teeths. They changed the design for the movie Mimics to be more Bio-mecanic and Beast like, but they kept the name since they are still pretty much shapeshifting creatures.
Imagine 20 years from the end of this movie a bigger invasion happens and he dies, and it resets him back to this point. Then he has to relive the same 20 years preparing the world over and over until it's enough to win.
I remember when Cruise starred in Oblivion (2013) and announced that his next movie was a futuristic thriller based on an manga novel. Edge of Tomorrow was at Comic-Con, months later with the filmmakers and primary cast. The questions and description of the film sounded great. But just seeing Cruise at Comic-Con for the first time was dope. I saw EOT in IMAX, which sold a lot of tickets for IMAX. Cruise as the reluctant hero was new and interesting.
So glad you reacted to this. It's one of my top 5 favorite movies. The action was amazing, the groundhog day plotline was great, the story was cool, and mostly made sense, and the mimics have one of the coolest designs I've seen. I read an article where someone did the calculations on how long it would have taken him to hone his muscle memory and memorize everything from that day, and they came to the conclusion that he spent approximately 40 years in that day. Imagine the emotional toll of getting to know someone and watching them die almost every day for 40 years. That is crazy. Also by the end of that movie he is basically the most dangerous man on earth due to the sheer amount of combat experience he has packed into a young mans body. Such an underrated film.
I love how they comment on the Y racks on the power armor, a concept that goes all the way back to Starship Troopers. Not just the power armor, even the Y racks.
Seeing Tom Cruise getting killed over & over is marvelous entertainment. Aaron has obviously never heard the term "make sure brain is engaged before opening mouth".
Someone tried to calculate how long it took cage to do this from his first death on the beach till he killed the omega. I think they figured it was a couple of years, but I could be wrong. It was an interesting calculation though
given how this movie has become legendary after struggling at the box office due mainly to its shocking title, hopefully at some point there can be a sequel. there has been talks for many years and cruise isnt getting any younger but would be awesome to see him and blunt team up again. make it happen?
The hard part is that if the alpha you kill knows what you are doing and he resets then you are having this time war going on. The only reason they had a advantage at first was the mimics not knowing he was infected.
Hey, guys. As a sound man, I'd suggest turning down your mics a bit, there is a huge difference between the film contact you're reviewing and the commentary.
I also like to think that at the end when he wakes up in the helicopter, it’s because there’s no reason why he should be at the base/beach battle once the mimics are destroyed.
So close. "Standing on the edge of tomorrow" are lyrics from the theme to Saved By The Bell: College Years. Also thanks so very much for now getting that song stuck in my head.
Man a movie adaptation of the Manga adaption of the original "All You Need Is Kill" would be sooooo awesome. Ufotable, where you at? I've read it over multiple times already. Such sad, melancholic ending. Definitely one of my favorite stories.
This movie is definitely a fun watch. What I love is it reminds me of old NES games where the enemies were in certain places so you had to remember their placements and strategies. So it was just trial and error. So the whole movie he is memorizing everything on that battlefield trying to get to success. And I absolutely love the editing on this movie. Definitely a good gem to find.
A lot of people point out that Rita dies on the beach if Cage doesn't save her, so it doesn't make sense for him to just walk away from their "first" meeting midway through the movie. BUT when she dies on the beach, it's after she stops to look at him on the ground and they have that long moment just before the explosion. If he's not there to distract her, who knows if she would've stopped in the same place? If he's not there, she might get through the battle (or at least make it farther). Either way, even if you assume that she would die on the beach anyway, I think by that point Cage just didn't want to watch her die anymore. If she was going to die either way and there was no way he could stop it, then at least he didn't have to be present for it and see it AGAIN. For me, tbh, as much as I love this movie, that's one of the goofy plot points. If I were in Cage's position and knew that no matter how we tried to get the helicopter, Rita dies, and no matter how I try to dissuade her by telling her that she dies if she starts the helicopter, she gets in the helicopter anyway, I'd just lie to her. She doesn't know what we've tried. Instead of trying to convince her to see reason and just siphon the gas from the heli and put it in the RV, I'd just tell her we've tried to fly the helicopter on previous attempts, it malfunctions (or something) in the air and we crash, so we settled on trying to siphon the gas into the RV and moving forward that way after the latest reset. Or, y'know, just throw the keys away. She has no way of knowing what worked and what hasn't, so she'd believe whatever he told her. I get that that's one of those problems they needed to happen to provide the dramatic moment in the script (and the motivation for Cage's low point) but, honestly, it was a pretty easily avoidable issue. "Hey, Rita, the heli engine fails when we get off the ground and we both die. We've searched for parts and tried to fix it a bunch of different ways but nothing works, so the heli is a no-go. But, last time, we decided to try siphoning the gas into the RV and going forward that way." Easy-peasy. Or, if the helicopter is absolutely needed for them to get to where they're going in time, then just tell her something that makes her go back to the farm. I mean, tbh, her insistence on doing the thing that will kill her just to make the point to him that she shouldn't be important to him is frustrating. Even if the conversation had gone exactly as it had up to that point, my response to her at the end would've been, "Look, I've done this day SO MANY times and I don't want to have to do the whole thing again any more than is necessary. And I NEED you with me -- for strat purposes, not love purposes -- going forward, so you getting in that helicopter despite what I'm telling you is dumb and selfish af. So let's try something else bc I'm tired of doing this day over and over."
So glad someone finally did a reaction to this one. It's one of the better Sci-Fi movies out there and one of my favorites. Event Horizon is another one you should react to.
There is a chance that he wasn't lucky that on his first day he had that run in with the alpha, because there could have been many more versions of that battle where the alpha died from other people. He could have died multiple times from many other things, and the day was reset because the alpha died by other means in that battle. Hell the alpha may have run into Cruise because it died elsewhere on the battlefield and it was trying to avoid it and took another route bringing it to Cruise. We have no way of knowing.
LOL my mom loves this movie so we ended up buying the DVD and since the cover says LIVE. DIE. REPEAT. that's what she always calls it. It's so confusing that those words take up the whole cover and the actual title is just like on the side XD
I think its just that The Omega dies at the end and so it resets to the beginning of the battle for The Omega. As in Cage didn't reset the day, The Omega did. I think this is why it starts earlier, but I think it's implied because Cage gets soaked by their blood again he may have the ability again but at the very least is able to still remember what happened. I think the aliens leaving after that is just them leaving because they have been defeated and don't think continuing to fight is worth the risk. So they "preemptively" retreat before risking having their technology turned against them again in a way they can't undue.
I think I was at the cinema for the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, watching it for the third time or something, but I was early so I sat in and saw the ending of Edge of Tomorrow... Now I finally watch it for real!
Fun little thing Eric was already aware kinda aware of. We see Cage die 26 times in the movie, but his character in the source material dies over 300 times before the end of the mission.
This movie proves that it is possible to adapt anime and manga to a live action medium. I hope Hollywood doesn't give trying to adapt these works of art.
it wasn't a 'book' in the way you seem to think, like a novel, it was a graphic novel/comic-book/manga, which are the comic books that anime are almost always based on. so this was turned into a Tom Cruise Hollywood Movie instead of an anime.

all the Soldier Mimics are just base animal berserkers with no time abilities; but the Alpha's are all conscious of the reset, so they are constantly shifting pattern to compensate for what they see in the field. so it's a random shot trying to spot a 1-in-a-million thing regularly, but with the alpha's pattern changing too...it becomes a 1-in-a-million times a million-minus-two shot at finding it (the 2 being it finds you and you find it), it'd be an eternity of Mimic-Shiny-hunting Hell.
also why they're called mimics, they basically a horde with no intelligence right?
so for that 1st day of battle they were random, then when the Alpha's have recognized patterns they came in and started to command like telepathically to recreate the human battle strategy to gauge the humans response capability so they have a frame of reference for what to do next time; and from there use those tactics to get new responses
they sort of play this mimic strategy so they don't just get nuked, if your enemy faces an army of perfect fighters; they're gonna just go all out and respond in ultimates and decimate your forces but if you give your enemy similar challenges they feel they can respond and you can beat them at their game. Plus when they have all the battle strategy of the planets' dominant forces down, they can just one day "do a perfect run" and take the world over and go on using that gained experience for the next conquest. They're a perfect warring hive mind that accumulates all the strats of it's conquered foes to make the next war easier.
This movie is awesome and doesn't get as much recognition as it should
This movie is the closest thing we have to a video game. You die and keep coming back to the same checkpoint, over and over again lol
I love this movie.
You guys should check out oblivion, another great Tom cruise movie
Wonderfully underrated movie! Surpsingly fresh given its premis. If the group hasn't seen "Midnight Special", please consider reacting to it! Stars Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, Adam Driver and the late Sam Shepherd.
Amazing movie, found it last year and have already watched it 4 times. I love stuff related to time and this kind of movies are perfect for me.
Should check out “Russian Doll” on Netflix if you haven’t already, also plays with time
@@ctcheeserexplores7443 will do, thank you for the suggestion.
I love how the main characters become insane killing machines in the exoskeletons, whereas everyone else struggles to even jog in them. Not fearing death helped them to push their limits, so they learned to utilize the exoskeletons' full potential.
Damn good movie. One of Tom Cruise’s best.
This movie is fanfuckingtastic! Christopher McQuarrie has a script for the sequel they are just waiting for everyones schedules to line up
Kept seeing TBA for part 2.
I thought that was a joke.
The only time Hollywood made a decent Japanese adaptation
Star wars? Based off a classic Samurai story.
Star Wars is original though. It has elements that were inspired from old samurai movies.
Ghost in the shell?
@@nicosanchez8261 Meh on that one.

I love watching people try to make sense of time travel, it doesn't make sense, it rarely ever does.
Yeah, you’re just in it for the ride, it’s useless watching it “logically”. Just enjoy the fun of the movie, this one especially is a great one.
23:20 in the Manga, they are called Mimics, cause they have the same shape and features as CLassic Fantasy RPG Mimics, shapeshifting monsters with gigantic mouths and Teeths.
They changed the design for the movie Mimics to be more Bio-mecanic and Beast like, but they kept the name since they are still pretty much shapeshifting creatures.
Imagine 20 years from the end of this movie a bigger invasion happens and he dies, and it resets him back to this point. Then he has to relive the same 20 years preparing the world over and over until it's enough to win.
I remember when Cruise starred in Oblivion (2013) and announced that his next movie was a futuristic thriller based on an manga novel.
Edge of Tomorrow was at Comic-Con, months later with the filmmakers and primary cast.
The questions and description of the film sounded great.
But just seeing Cruise at Comic-Con for the first time was dope.
I saw EOT in IMAX, which sold a lot of tickets for IMAX.
Cruise as the reluctant hero was new and interesting.
The movie is based off of the Japanese manga titled All You Need Is Kill
Which is very very different, but both are good in their own way.
Yeah that's the name was trying to remember what the name of the manga as well
Wow I never knew that. It's certainly not posted in every single comments section featuring Edge of Tomorrow. Every. Single. One.
@@TheMijman shush
Best anime Live action movie for sure next to alita
14:34
This scene. When the score kicks in and they just tear through the aliens is absolutely chilling🔥🔥.
So glad you reacted to this. It's one of my top 5 favorite movies. The action was amazing, the groundhog day plotline was great, the story was cool, and mostly made sense, and the mimics have one of the coolest designs I've seen. I read an article where someone did the calculations on how long it would have taken him to hone his muscle memory and memorize everything from that day, and they came to the conclusion that he spent approximately 40 years in that day. Imagine the emotional toll of getting to know someone and watching them die almost every day for 40 years. That is crazy. Also by the end of that movie he is basically the most dangerous man on earth due to the sheer amount of combat experience he has packed into a young mans body. Such an underrated film.
This is one of my favorite Sci-fi time shennanigans movies actually, remember loving this when I was younger
My Top three favorite movies of all time
1.Tron Legacy
2.Oblivion
3.Edge of Tommorow
Love Oblivion.
I watch this movie 5 times and never get boring.
Aha! Calvin-Cruise, now that's a deadly combination you don't want to miss.😉
why does he hate him??
This is an excellent film.
I love how they comment on the Y racks on the power armor, a concept that goes all the way back to Starship Troopers. Not just the power armor, even the Y racks.
16:35 "He can't save everyone" "So he saves no one"... Damn that hit.
Seeing Tom Cruise getting killed over & over is marvelous entertainment.
Aaron has obviously never heard the term "make sure brain is engaged before opening mouth".
This movie has the coolest looking and scariest aliens I've ever seen in a movie. Gotta respect that.
I think the Mimics name is more based on they mimic whatever the Omega orders them to do rather then they mimic other people.
The aliens are called Mimics because they mimic each day till they get it right.
Someone tried to calculate how long it took cage to do this from his first death on the beach till he killed the omega. I think they figured it was a couple of years, but I could be wrong. It was an interesting calculation though
I absolutely love this movie. Wasnt expecting it to be anywhere near as good as it is.
Absolutely love this movie!! so underrated
given how this movie has become legendary after struggling at the box office due mainly to its shocking title, hopefully at some point there can be a sequel. there has been talks for many years and cruise isnt getting any younger but would be awesome to see him and blunt team up again. make it happen?
Damn! The fat soldier who got into his armour naked is the paper boy from the first season of spaced (simon peggs comedy from 99-2001).
The original title “All you need is kill” is by far the best title.
But it's more like all you need is die, to be honest. Otherwise you cannot reset the day.
The hard part is that if the alpha you kill knows what you are doing and he resets then you are having this time war going on. The only reason they had a advantage at first was the mimics not knowing he was infected.
This movie gives me Re:Zero and Groundhog day vibes, I love it.
the mimics probably mimicked each other
Hey, guys. As a sound man, I'd suggest turning down your mics a bit, there is a huge difference between the film contact you're reviewing and the commentary.
Watching their videos on UA-cam I always thought Aaron was a smartass. Now, that I’ve subscribed to the Patreon I know Aaron IS a smartass!!
I also like to think that at the end when he wakes up in the helicopter, it’s because there’s no reason why he should be at the base/beach battle once the mimics are destroyed.
Good premise, Groundhog Day but action film. It’s an emotional story too, an absolutely underrated film.
So close. "Standing on the edge of tomorrow" are lyrics from the theme to Saved By The Bell: College Years. Also thanks so very much for now getting that song stuck in my head.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! It's so Underrated and One of the Best Adaptations!
Man a movie adaptation of the Manga adaption of the original "All You Need Is Kill" would be sooooo awesome. Ufotable, where you at?
I've read it over multiple times already. Such sad, melancholic ending. Definitely one of my favorite stories.
This movie is when you play on the highest difficulty in COD and die and retry until you get it.
This movie is definitely a fun watch. What I love is it reminds me of old NES games where the enemies were in certain places so you had to remember their placements and strategies. So it was just trial and error. So the whole movie he is memorizing everything on that battlefield trying to get to success. And I absolutely love the editing on this movie. Definitely a good gem to find.
I can't believe you guys haven't watched this yet this was an absolute gem in my book it introduced me to Emily Blunt!
A lot of people point out that Rita dies on the beach if Cage doesn't save her, so it doesn't make sense for him to just walk away from their "first" meeting midway through the movie. BUT when she dies on the beach, it's after she stops to look at him on the ground and they have that long moment just before the explosion. If he's not there to distract her, who knows if she would've stopped in the same place? If he's not there, she might get through the battle (or at least make it farther).
Either way, even if you assume that she would die on the beach anyway, I think by that point Cage just didn't want to watch her die anymore. If she was going to die either way and there was no way he could stop it, then at least he didn't have to be present for it and see it AGAIN.
For me, tbh, as much as I love this movie, that's one of the goofy plot points. If I were in Cage's position and knew that no matter how we tried to get the helicopter, Rita dies, and no matter how I try to dissuade her by telling her that she dies if she starts the helicopter, she gets in the helicopter anyway, I'd just lie to her. She doesn't know what we've tried. Instead of trying to convince her to see reason and just siphon the gas from the heli and put it in the RV, I'd just tell her we've tried to fly the helicopter on previous attempts, it malfunctions (or something) in the air and we crash, so we settled on trying to siphon the gas into the RV and moving forward that way after the latest reset. Or, y'know, just throw the keys away. She has no way of knowing what worked and what hasn't, so she'd believe whatever he told her.
I get that that's one of those problems they needed to happen to provide the dramatic moment in the script (and the motivation for Cage's low point) but, honestly, it was a pretty easily avoidable issue. "Hey, Rita, the heli engine fails when we get off the ground and we both die. We've searched for parts and tried to fix it a bunch of different ways but nothing works, so the heli is a no-go. But, last time, we decided to try siphoning the gas into the RV and going forward that way." Easy-peasy.
Or, if the helicopter is absolutely needed for them to get to where they're going in time, then just tell her something that makes her go back to the farm. I mean, tbh, her insistence on doing the thing that will kill her just to make the point to him that she shouldn't be important to him is frustrating. Even if the conversation had gone exactly as it had up to that point, my response to her at the end would've been, "Look, I've done this day SO MANY times and I don't want to have to do the whole thing again any more than is necessary. And I NEED you with me -- for strat purposes, not love purposes -- going forward, so you getting in that helicopter despite what I'm telling you is dumb and selfish af. So let's try something else bc I'm tired of doing this day over and over."
This movie is great. And yes time for Calvin to watch some Tom Cruise 😂
It's one of the best Hollywood adaptations of a manga.
So glad someone finally did a reaction to this one. It's one of the better Sci-Fi movies out there and one of my favorites. Event Horizon is another one you should react to.
There is a chance that he wasn't lucky that on his first day he had that run in with the alpha, because there could have been many more versions of that battle where the alpha died from other people. He could have died multiple times from many other things, and the day was reset because the alpha died by other means in that battle. Hell the alpha may have run into Cruise because it died elsewhere on the battlefield and it was trying to avoid it and took another route bringing it to Cruise. We have no way of knowing.
Edge of tomorrow is definitely in my top 5
LOL my mom loves this movie so we ended up buying the DVD and since the cover says LIVE. DIE. REPEAT. that's what she always calls it. It's so confusing that those words take up the whole cover and the actual title is just like on the side XD
I think its just that The Omega dies at the end and so it resets to the beginning of the battle for The Omega. As in Cage didn't reset the day, The Omega did. I think this is why it starts earlier, but I think it's implied because Cage gets soaked by their blood again he may have the ability again but at the very least is able to still remember what happened. I think the aliens leaving after that is just them leaving because they have been defeated and don't think continuing to fight is worth the risk. So they "preemptively" retreat before risking having their technology turned against them again in a way they can't undue.
I think I was at the cinema for the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, watching it for the third time or something, but I was early so I sat in and saw the ending of Edge of Tomorrow... Now I finally watch it for real!
Fun little thing Eric was already aware kinda aware of. We see Cage die 26 times in the movie, but his character in the source material dies over 300 times before the end of the mission.
When I read starship troopers as a kid this is what I imagined the power armor they wear would have looked like.
This movie proves that it is possible to adapt anime and manga to a live action medium. I hope Hollywood doesn't give trying to adapt these works of art.
Rurouni Kenshin proved it as well.
@@zuriyel5368 I'll have to check that out for myself.
Saw this in theaters. Caught it by chance. Glad I did. Underrated jem. Sound in theaters was incredible!
The trailer for this movie was amazing though. I feel like it set it up really well!
Just introduced my Aunt to this movie a couple months ago. She had never seen it and she loved it.
one of my favorite movies
Back then when I saw this movie it just blow my mind. It's awesome. Great one guys!
it wasn't a 'book' in the way you seem to think, like a novel, it was a graphic novel/comic-book/manga, which are the comic books that anime are almost always based on. so this was turned into a Tom Cruise Hollywood Movie instead of an anime.
