"The Last Samurai" Tom Cruise acting at his best, playing a drunk trying to forget his past, with a long story of coming to understand your enemies ( Ken Watanabe ) enough to become one with them and to fall n love with the culture and a special Widow. You will understand the "specialness" part if you watch it. We'll all make a Tom cruise fan of you yet ! Oblivion after "The Last Samurai" !
The look the sergeant gives Cage after the helicopter incident always gives me chills. When he looks Cage in the eyes he recognizes a veteran of hundreds of battles, someone who has lost so much. This film doesn't hit you over the head with it but it would seem Cage has lived that day hundreds of times, imagine living a year of battle, everyday watching people you know die over and over, the emotional toll.
Try thousands of times, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of times we didn't see in literally every varying second of each attempt of the movie we do see. Fascinating execution of a brilliant movie that took a twist to the idea of groundhog day.
Say what you will about Tom Cruise, his dedication to his work is undeniable. I highly recommend reacting to more of his movies, especially the 2 TOP GUN films (which also co-star Val Kilmer), the 6 MISSION IMPOSSIBLE films, and 2 films he did with Steven Spielberg (MINORITY REPORT and WAR OF THE WORLDS).
A few people have already mentioned it but "Oblivion" is another Tom Cruise sci-fi well worth watching. Also stars Morgan Freeman. And Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones).
To be honest, Jumper was fleshed out pretty well. Knowing that this guy was involved in this movie makes it even better because time-travel stuff is usually very hard to get off well in movies.
Paxton was put through US Marine Boot Camp for his Role in Aliens. James Cameron thought it would give the Marines in Aliens a more realistic feel. So Paxton took those experiences to make this Character emulating the Drill Instructors.
I've only watched 4-5 movies with Paxton in them and he was always great. Frailty and Nightcrawler are my favorite roles of his, and this one is very good too.
This film deserved to be in the billion-dollar club. It`s pretty much perfect. A great premise with great actor & incredible effects. Lots of humor too. It`s picked-up a cult following & deservedly so. A picture everyone should see at least once.
The chemistry was so complex in this movie! She had a feeling that he was falling in love with her and she knew that it was extremely hard for him to watch her die day after day. She too had to endure the pain of watching her boyfriend die over 300 times. Even tho they would technically only meet for 1 day, she found herself telling him personal things about her life, and the next day they would meet she found out she had told them these things. It kind of told her future self that this is a good man, a man she trust, and a man that is worth spending endless days with.
Regardless of who Tom is as a person, I will always love his movies. It's insane that there are as many mission impossible movies as there are and all of them are good. A lot of people have different favorite ones. You are really missing out if you don't watch them. Oh yeah, and don't forget about Oblivian. That movie is extremely good but he has so many great movies people just forget about it.
@@uoiuo Well, he's a member of a cult that kidnaps children and holds people hostage, and does everything it can to destroy people who criticize it or try to leave, but...
It actually never occurred to me until now, but originally I thought 'okay I guess they're saying he got the omega's blood and that sent him back further' -now that I think about it I think it's because of the fact that he's now entering their system the day before he originally did, which sets him back further than the original day he was reliving.
This movie fuckin rules, I hope they get to make the sequel eventually because they definitely were planning to and still haven’t said they weren’t making one anymore
@@Madagon367 they aren’t doing a tv show with cruise and blunt, the only way they return is for a sequel movie. Tv adaptation would likely be its own separate thing and not connected to this adaptation
It's been stuck in development hell for years. Emily Blunt really wants it to be made she was gushing about it on the press tour for Jungle Cruise. But she said she doesn't know what is going on with the project.
This is a really amazing movie, with all the physicallity of the suits it was really very good, and Tom cruise always takes action to the next level. i would reccommend watching his movies especially Top gun and its sequel which will be out by the end of the month, its so much fun, thrill, amazement, romance and charisma.
So the reason why that last mission went so relatively well as compared to the beach was the fact that it was the first time it was being performed period. It was the first time for the humans, but it was also the first time for the Mimics. They were ready for the beach and they were ready for the route to the location of the false vision where they were setting up that trap, but they were not ready for the location of the Omega to come under assault. In every other time jump that place remained secured and undiscovered, so when Cruise and his Dirty Dozen the Mimics were at square one without a strategy guide or aim-bot to help them win while Cruise at least knew where the Omega was camping out at. Also you were right about the difference between the previous leaps and the last. In the previous ones Cruise had the blood of the Alpha in him, and the Alpha's deaths are what triggered the Onega's ability to reset the leap to the moment it chose. But after Cruise got the Onega's blood in him he was able to pick the moment, hence the new beginning.
Everything you said is right except that fact that Cage got to “choose” the moment. According to timeline Cage defeated the omega before he actually dies for the first time in the movie (time difference of some hours, i dont know the exact time difference) so it simply puts him back by that much time difference back and therefore he ends up before he actually met the general
The author specifically acknowledged the video game genesis of the idea, as Mary pointed out - returning to a checkpoint to keep playing the level better and better.
@@glyphgraph8436 Everyone is on board Tom, Miss Blunt the director Doug. The writers all on board for a sequel. Let's hope they honor the source material, continue to respect it.
Tom is also very good in another time-warped sci-fi classic thriller, "Minority Report". I haven't seen many reactors watching that one, though. This one was super fun to re-watch with Mary!
For me, this is definitely one of Tom Cruise’s best movies. I loved the movie and I loved the performances of everyone. Great job by everyone who worked on the movie ☺️

He did fall in love, but it's a different type of love. It's completely heartbreaking when they are in the house and he is pouring sugar. It's a very mature scene and makes the movie.
Madame Cherry, what really endeared me to this movie is the ending reflects the self sacrifice theme in the movie. As Cruise wakes up in the helicopter before the final battle. He and the team end the war with no fanfare, or medals or accolades. He never meets the men and women that die for the cause. HE knows them so intimately but they don't know him at all, because they never meet. Cruise can only smile as he meets the love of his life but she has no clue who she is. We can only guess how he get to tell her. Another movie that cover this is, "Deja Vu" with Denzel Washinton. It's pretty good, but not well know.
25:10 they're able to move easily because the suits are exoskeletons and move on their own, controlled by the wearer's brain. They're literally wearing robots that give them super strength.
It's quick so most reviewers miss it: They explain why they throw him in battle so quickly - the full metal b kicked all the alien asses in the last battle using these new exoskeletons with virtually no training. They think it's because the exos are so good but it's because she actually trained the same way he does.
As it was mentioned earlier that the story is based on a short manga called "All You Need is Kill" ... but what no one has seemed to mentioned is that the inspiration for the manga was the author was playing a rpg video game, kept receiving praise from npcs about how smart or brave he was, and that got him to reflect that the only reason he got good was the multiple times he would die, he would learn what NOT to do ...
"I don't know if you can force someone with no combat skills to fight." Called a Draft Also the Mission Impossible movies and both Top Guns are worth watching.
Yeah, but even when men were drafted, they still went through basic training. That might have been short (not sure of exact lengths historically), but it was still longer than 1 day! Unless all you're looking for is cannon fodder, it behooves the military to provide at least a tiny bit of training to its troops.
Maoist and Stalinist regimes usually said screw it and threw them into combat with practically nothing. The workers will overcome the vile capitalists with an avalanche of their dead bodies. Real civilized.
"the maggot montage" is one of my favorite scenes in recent movies. "I"m tryin be NICE to you maggot!" Had to be a quick kiss; she's only known him a day. Emily Blunt adlibbed the kiss, but the delivery of the dialogue is also note perfect for someone who isn't - can't be - "in love", but completely understands where Tom is at because she's been there before. Hence, she can come as far as "I wish I had the chance to know you better"
What I wish had been the ending was Major Cage walking in to Rita's training bay, and 'asking her' to do an interview with him as the heroine of Verdun. When she agrees to the interview Major Cage says, "Thank you Rose". She realizes that he KNOWS
What you said was quite profound to me: "You die and die, and then you gain experience, and you don't fear death eventually-this was me at the start of my gaming experience. I was piss f'n scared of dying...piss f'n scared of doing anything." That right there is a life lesson. Until you do the thing-and maybe do it over and over again-you'll always be scared of the thing.
I love this movie. I saw it in the movie theater closest to Science Hill, KY and none of us knew it was going to be mentioned. There was a collective gasp of surprise of the whole theater the first time they said it. So funny
I fell in love with Emily Blunt when I saw her in the movie 'The Jane Austen Book Club'. I even mentioned dream/goal to my wife and she agreed I could leave her if I got the chance to hook-up with Emily Blunt. Of course, I had to allow her to pick the actor she had the hots for, which was George Clooney. However we also agreed (somewhat reluctantly on my part) that the swap would only be possible if we both got our wishes.
The man is a bit out there but he definitely knows how to make good movies. Oblivion is another sci-fi of his with good concept, great soundtrack and beautifully shot.
I remember watching this for the first time, not sure what to expect and almost immediately being drawn in. Act 1 was just the right length, didn't drag at all. Act 2 was brilliant a perfect mix of action, drama and comedy. Act 3 was high stakes,with the perfect twist at the end. Epic film, especially with such a short runtime keep the reactions coming Mary, you are great!
i loved this movie, i went into theaters with a few friends not expecting anything because it bombed and it was easy to get tickets for the whole group, and we all came out loving it.
Wife and I knew nothing about this movie going in except it had Cruise in it. Turned out to be one of the more unique and interesting sci-fi movies I've ever seen. Was the first time I'd seen Emily Blunt in a fil as well and desperately want her to do more action roles because of it. Immediately bought it on blur-ray when it came out.
The reason Kage reset further is that the Alphas can reset a single day, whereas the Omega can reset two. Think of it as the Omega having a longer backup to change the events that lead to its death. Or having different levels of save states. Because Kage got the Omegas blood, he hijacked the time power from it, making it die for real. If he didn’t; if they just bombed it or something, the Omega would have reset two full days (back to when Kage was in the helicopter) and anticipated the squad attack. Glad you enjoyed the movie!
Regarding the ending; Cage defeats the Omega, but he obtains the Omega's blood (again) and the day resets (again). But this time, since the Omega has been defeated, past events have changed. On this new day, he awakens in the helicopter, as if the Omega was already defeated and he was on his way to do something else, as there would have been no need for the general to send him to battle, if the Omega was already defeated. It's a unique time-travel premise that people don't really talk about: Using the future to change the past.
Edge of Tomorrow is basically Groundhog Day with mechanical suits and killer aliens. First time I saw it I was pleasantly surprised. One of the best action scifi movies of the 2010's. A great flick.
so true , the only issue I have with this is the major glaring plot hole which is how did rita initially know her powers were gone cause you need to die to reset the day so there is no way she truly knows if she was out of the power or not.
@@zazabrainzazabrain It's not really a plot hole since they address it in Rita's dialogue. She said something along the lines of "I knew the power was gone, I felt it", which admittedly may be weak writing, but it's not a "plot hole".
@@zazabrainzazabrain she didn't know till she met him and didn't recognize him but he said they met before. So she put 2 and 2 together. The only reason it could be is when I was seriously injured and didn't die but got a blood transfusion.
A surprisingly good flick. I wonder where Cruise keeps his portrait? Guy never gets older. Thanks for reacting to this one. A 2010 action/romantic/comedy by Cruise and Carmen Dias called "Knight and Day" day is a lot of fun, although the critics and the box office didn't seem to agree.
This movie is based on the japanese novel "All You Need Is Kill", and was first illustrated in manga. For another good sci-fi movie starring Emily Blunt watch "A Quiet Place".
This movie was a lot better than I expected, with a good part of that due to your reactions I'm sure. As for the premise, I can't even remember what I had for breakfast; I'd not be the one for this.
This really was one of the smartest and best films I've ever seen. I went into it expecting a fairly standard action movie and it was so much more. Gripping, fascinating and unpredictable.
This movie is an all-time favorite of mine, Edge of Tomorrow is an easy rewatch Please watch Jumper! Hayden Christensen and Sam Jackson, baby. With a concept that hasn’t been explored in any other movie
29:52 My favorite passage, so subtle but important that sums up the film. The Training Soldier sees in a second that the character of Tom Cruise has a crazy war experience...
As for the beginning of the movie it's chillingly possible. The same thing that is a strength and quality of the military (discipline) is also its greatest weakness. Not a single person thinks to question the orders handed down from a British command regarding an American soldier. And the orders even say "he'll try to tell you this but don't listen!" as if that isn't an instant red flag someone's getting railroaded. But that nearly blind obedience obscures reason.
He did not choose the day. Remember they left before the invasion started and Tom was exposed to the Omega's blood just before dawn on invasion day so when he reset it was twenty-four hours earlier, the same time he originally arrived in London.
An also underrated Cruise film is "Knight and Day" with Cameron Diaz. His early career cringed me but later on he found his niche' and did it pretty well.
In the film yes, but in reality they weighed 80 lbs (for Emily's) or over a 100 lbs (for Toms) (according to interviews) as you saw when he was trying to run away in one at the start. So, the exoskeletons they were running full-pelt in had to be non-metallic or CGI'd in reality (while in the film would have represented the fact that they knew how to operate them with maximum efficiency).
I don't much care for Tom Cruise as a person but I will die on the hill that he is an exceptional actor. I loved this movie, as "silly" as it is, it was super entertaining, had a great character redemption arc, and a nail biting finale.
This movie is good regardless of who plays the characters because the concept and story are excellently done. It just helps that both Cruise and Emily Blunt sold their acting SO well… you really feel its happening and are along for the ride. This one was fantastic in the theater and is easily one of my favorite sci-fis.
Mary, I'm not generally a Tom Cruise fan either, but two recommendations I'd make which might surprise you would be Collateral and Magnolia. I'd still recommend both even if they didn't have Tom Cruise in them, they're both awesome movies that you absolutely should add to the list.
I hadn't heard much about this movie back when I watched it, and didn't expect much from it. But it was way more fun that I expected it to be! Great movie - I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
"Maybe the safety is not off for him so he can go crazy...". I'm not sure what that means, but the safety on a weapon prevents it from firing, so when you're out of combat, you don't accidentally shoot someone else or yourself.
One of the few movies that did much better out of cinema than in cinema. One of my absolute favourites watched this so many times in a row when I saw it for the first time.
Mary, that was such fun, watching you enjoy this movie! I love this movie and I am a TC fan. It works so well. I really think you should open your mind to watching more Cruise films. You should see: War of the Worlds, Marigold, Knight and Day, Minority Report, A Few Good Men, Jerry McGuire and all the Mission Impossible films, to start with. Great films, great roles, all of them!
I think he didn't chose the time to reset at the end. Omega was always resetting to the morning of the same day. And they went to Paris at the evening of the first day (when he arrived to see general) and before the next day's operation on the beach. So it has reset to the morning of his arrival to London, which was before everything that happened in the movie. And as Omega was destroyed it was last reset that was triggered.
I don't think he chooses the day at the end but rather he's when he kills the Omega it's a day earlier so now the previous day is reset. He always wakes up with the guy from Candyman calling him a maggot then they go war on the beach the next day. By attacking the same evening and dying that same night he resets that day, not tomorrow's. That's why it's different. When he meets the young lady officer that's before he even has the meeting with the general so instead of being sent to France to film the battlefield to help recruitment, he gets sent to France assumedly to cover the victory. Or maybe he just goes on his own cause who isn't going to fly to France to see Emily Blunt.

"I don't know if you can force someone with no combat skills to fight."
Called a Draft
Also the Mission Impossible movies and both Top Guns are worth watching.
Yeah, but even when men were drafted, they still went through basic training. That might have been short (not sure of exact lengths historically), but it was still longer than 1 day! Unless all you're looking for is cannon fodder, it behooves the military to provide at least a tiny bit of training to its troops.
Maoist and Stalinist regimes usually said screw it and threw them into combat with practically nothing. The workers will overcome the vile capitalists with an avalanche of their dead bodies. Real civilized.
Conscientious objectors can refuse to fight despite a draft
"Called a draft." Nope. I enlisted in 1969, and got exactly the same training the draftees did.
"the maggot montage" is one of my favorite scenes in recent movies. "I"m tryin be NICE to you maggot!"
Had to be a quick kiss; she's only known him a day. Emily Blunt adlibbed the kiss, but the delivery of the dialogue is also note perfect for someone who isn't - can't be - "in love", but completely understands where Tom is at because she's been there before. Hence, she can come as far as "I wish I had the chance to know you better"
What I wish had been the ending was Major Cage walking in to Rita's training bay, and 'asking her' to do an interview with him as the heroine of Verdun. When she agrees to the interview Major Cage says, "Thank you Rose". She realizes that he KNOWS
Speaking of Tom Cruise, yes all the mission impossible movies are great. Both Top Gun movies are 1000% worth watching
Except MI2. I had to turn that one off. Just couldn't take it seriously. After that, every one is better than the last.
What you said was quite profound to me: "You die and die, and then you gain experience, and you don't fear death eventually-this was me at the start of my gaming experience. I was piss f'n scared of dying...piss f'n scared of doing anything." That right there is a life lesson. Until you do the thing-and maybe do it over and over again-you'll always be scared of the thing.
Loved how you grew in respect of Tom's acting ability just so you know he actually can fly helicopters.
I love this movie. I saw it in the movie theater closest to Science Hill, KY and none of us knew it was going to be mentioned. There was a collective gasp of surprise of the whole theater the first time they said it. So funny
Not a Tom Cruise fan either, but damn most of his movies are really good. And the fact he does his or the majority of his own stunts is impressive.
Cruise is the man but this was the movie I fell in love with Emily Blunt.
I fell in love with Emily Blunt when I saw her in the movie 'The Jane Austen Book Club'. I even mentioned dream/goal to my wife and she agreed I could leave her if I got the chance to hook-up with Emily Blunt. Of course, I had to allow her to pick the actor she had the hots for, which was George Clooney. However we also agreed (somewhat reluctantly on my part) that the swap would only be possible if we both got our wishes.
The man is a bit out there but he definitely knows how to make good movies. Oblivion is another sci-fi of his with good concept, great soundtrack and beautifully shot.
The thing about Cruise is…dude just makes great films!
Favorite scene is the montage of him dying that culminates in the drill sergeant screaming, “I’M TRYING TO BE NICE TO YOU MAGGOT NOW MOVE!”
I remember watching this for the first time, not sure what to expect and almost immediately being drawn in. Act 1 was just the right length, didn't drag at all. Act 2 was brilliant a perfect mix of action, drama and comedy. Act 3 was high stakes,with the perfect twist at the end. Epic film, especially with such a short runtime keep the reactions coming Mary, you are great!
Tom Cruise is that rare superstar with the acting chops that allow his bigger than life persona disappears into a character.
One of my most rewatched movies of the past 15 years. And I very much diskled Groundhog Day and this particular premise.
i loved this movie, i went into theaters with a few friends not expecting anything because it bombed and it was easy to get tickets for the whole group, and we all came out loving it.
Tom Cruise: What I'm about to tell you is true. Mary Cherry: It's about Scientology! Hahaha! Loved that, Mary... and... subscribed...
Wife and I knew nothing about this movie going in except it had Cruise in it. Turned out to be one of the more unique and interesting sci-fi movies I've ever seen. Was the first time I'd seen Emily Blunt in a fil as well and desperately want her to do more action roles because of it.
Immediately bought it on blur-ray when it came out.
The reason Kage reset further is that the Alphas can reset a single day, whereas the Omega can reset two. Think of it as the Omega having a longer backup to change the events that lead to its death. Or having different levels of save states. Because Kage got the Omegas blood, he hijacked the time power from it, making it die for real. If he didn’t; if they just bombed it or something, the Omega would have reset two full days (back to when Kage was in the helicopter) and anticipated the squad attack. Glad you enjoyed the movie!
Thanks for that
Regarding the ending; Cage defeats the Omega, but he obtains the Omega's blood (again) and the day resets (again). But this time, since the Omega has been defeated, past events have changed.
On this new day, he awakens in the helicopter, as if the Omega was already defeated and he was on his way to do something else, as there would have been no need for the general to send him to battle, if the Omega was already defeated.
It's a unique time-travel premise that people don't really talk about: Using the future to change the past.
Edge of Tomorrow is basically Groundhog Day with mechanical suits and killer aliens.
First time I saw it I was pleasantly surprised.
One of the best action scifi movies of the 2010's.
A great flick.
so true , the only issue I have with this is the major glaring plot hole which is how did rita initially know her powers were gone cause you need to die to reset the day so there is no way she truly knows if she was out of the power or not.
@@zazabrainzazabrain It's not really a plot hole since they address it in Rita's dialogue. She said something along the lines of "I knew the power was gone, I felt it", which admittedly may be weak writing, but it's not a "plot hole".
you right, very lousy writing but other than that the writers did a very good job
@@zazabrainzazabrain she didn't know till she met him and didn't recognize him but he said they met before. So she put 2 and 2 together. The only reason it could be is when I was seriously injured and didn't die but got a blood transfusion.
What a hot take
Based on the Japanese Manga "All You Need Is Kill." That's why this is perhaps the greatest live action anime of all time👍
Reminds me of the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Cause and Effect" from 1992!
This is the best example of adapting from anime
A surprisingly good flick. I wonder where Cruise keeps his portrait? Guy never gets older. Thanks for reacting to this one. A 2010 action/romantic/comedy by Cruise and Carmen Dias called "Knight and Day" day is a lot of fun, although the critics and the box office didn't seem to agree.
This movie is based on the japanese novel "All You Need Is Kill", and was first illustrated in manga. For another good sci-fi movie starring Emily Blunt watch "A Quiet Place".
This movie was a lot better than I expected, with a good part of that due to your reactions I'm sure. As for the premise, I can't even remember what I had for breakfast; I'd not be the one for this.
"How long is he able to hold his breath?"
Around 6 minutes. Yes really. He trained for one of the Mission Impossible movies.
That was for Rogue Nation, which was filmed a year after Edge of Tomorrow.
When I was a Life Guard, I was able to hold mine 4.5 mins, without the World depending on me.
Also check out "Collateral." That's my favorite Tom Cruise role.
This movie was highly slept on by people. Very underrated!!
This really was one of the smartest and best films I've ever seen. I went into it expecting a fairly standard action movie and it was so much more. Gripping, fascinating and unpredictable.
This movie is an all-time favorite of mine, Edge of Tomorrow is an easy rewatch
Please watch Jumper! Hayden Christensen and Sam Jackson, baby. With a concept that hasn’t been explored in any other movie
29:52 My favorite passage, so subtle but important that sums up the film. The Training Soldier sees in a second that the character of Tom Cruise has a crazy war experience...
“It’s about Scientology” that joke had me rolling on the floor 🤣
Tom Cruise has fantastic movies. The Last Samurai, Top Gun 1/2, A few good Men just some of the many worth checking out
Another really great Tom Cruise movie if you want to watch is the Last Samurai either way you have a great day Mary and nice green shirt 👍
As for the beginning of the movie it's chillingly possible. The same thing that is a strength and quality of the military (discipline) is also its greatest weakness. Not a single person thinks to question the orders handed down from a British command regarding an American soldier. And the orders even say "he'll try to tell you this but don't listen!" as if that isn't an instant red flag someone's getting railroaded. But that nearly blind obedience obscures reason.
He did not choose the day. Remember they left before the invasion started and Tom was exposed to the Omega's blood just before dawn on invasion day so when he reset it was twenty-four hours earlier, the same time he originally arrived in London.
An also underrated Cruise film is "Knight and Day" with Cameron Diaz. His early career cringed me but later on he found his niche' and did it pretty well.
Idk y but I really got into that movie. I've also never heard anyone else talk about it before. Props
Risky Business is far from cringe. Even days of thunder is passable.
@@English_MoFo but he was. A terrible actor early in his career.
@@MoMoMyPup10 I guess some might see him that way, but I thought he always had natural talent. He was pretty great in Interview with the Vampire.
You remarked on how fast they ran in spite of the armor's weight. This powered exoskeleton enhances their strength and effective endurance.
In the film yes, but in reality they weighed 80 lbs (for Emily's) or over a 100 lbs (for Toms) (according to interviews) as you saw when he was trying to run away in one at the start. So, the exoskeletons they were running full-pelt in had to be non-metallic or CGI'd in reality (while in the film would have represented the fact that they knew how to operate them with maximum efficiency).
This should be labeled as a Sci-Fi comedy
I don't much care for Tom Cruise as a person but I will die on the hill that he is an exceptional actor.
I loved this movie, as "silly" as it is, it was super entertaining, had a great character redemption arc, and a nail biting finale.
This movie is good regardless of who plays the characters because the concept and story are excellently done. It just helps that both Cruise and Emily Blunt sold their acting SO well… you really feel its happening and are along for the ride. This one was fantastic in the theater and is easily one of my favorite sci-fis.
Love the reaction as usual! Agreed, this is also one of my favorites movies ever! Everyone I've introduced it to also love it.
I love this movie and I'm glad you found it.
I think I probably feel about the same as you when it comes to Tom Cruise but, yes, as an actor he can be really excellent. I love this one!
My favorite reaction of this movie so far!! I love Mary! 😊
Mary, I'm not generally a Tom Cruise fan either, but two recommendations I'd make which might surprise you would be Collateral and Magnolia.
I'd still recommend both even if they didn't have Tom Cruise in them, they're both awesome movies that you absolutely should add to the list.
Cruise is a little crazy, but he's a legit movie star.
I hadn't heard much about this movie back when I watched it, and didn't expect much from it. But it was way more fun that I expected it to be! Great movie - I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
Oblivion is a great Tom cruise movie also
This movie is a real sci fi mind bender and I loved it. Great reaction by the way.
The Last Sanurai is another excellent movie of his that you should watch.
"Maybe the safety is not off for him so he can go crazy...". I'm not sure what that means, but the safety on a weapon prevents it from firing, so when you're out of combat, you don't accidentally shoot someone else or yourself.
Thanks for reacting to this. It’s one of my favorite underrated movies
"Oh Sh*t, I F*ckin' turned into a demon!" LOL now that was hilarious LOL
I love your laugh, your reactions are freakin great, keep them coming!
One of the few movies that did much better out of cinema than in cinema. One of my absolute favourites watched this so many times in a row when I saw it for the first time.
For good Tom Cruise movies, I recommend Legend, A Few Good Men, Interview with the Vampire, Collateral, Minority Report, and Tropic Thunder.
Only thing i have to say is This is one of The Best SIFI movies ever made!! and Tom is a legend.
You HAVE to watch Alita: Battle Angel. It's so damn good and I think you'd love it based on your reactions
Is there ANY way I could send a dono to make sure you watch it eventually? Honestly would in a heartbeat
One of my fav movies of all time and unexpectedly so.
Global stardom of tom cruise is unmatched, no actor has ever been so well known worldwide 😍
Mary, that was such fun, watching you enjoy this movie! I love this movie and I am a TC fan. It works so well. I really think you should open your mind to watching more Cruise films. You should see: War of the Worlds, Marigold, Knight and Day, Minority Report, A Few Good Men, Jerry McGuire and all the Mission Impossible films, to start with. Great films, great roles, all of them!
If you want to see some more of his movies check out A Few Good Men, Oblivion, Minority Report, and Valkyrie.
Risky Business, Top Gun, Top Gun Maverick, ....
This is where the fun begins
Groundhog Day + Starship Troopers!
I think he didn't chose the time to reset at the end. Omega was always resetting to the morning of the same day. And they went to Paris at the evening of the first day (when he arrived to see general) and before the next day's operation on the beach. So it has reset to the morning of his arrival to London, which was before everything that happened in the movie. And as Omega was destroyed it was last reset that was triggered.
I don't think he chooses the day at the end but rather he's when he kills the Omega it's a day earlier so now the previous day is reset. He always wakes up with the guy from Candyman calling him a maggot then they go war on the beach the next day. By attacking the same evening and dying that same night he resets that day, not tomorrow's. That's why it's different. When he meets the young lady officer that's before he even has the meeting with the general so instead of being sent to France to film the battlefield to help recruitment, he gets sent to France assumedly to cover the victory. Or maybe he just goes on his own cause who isn't going to fly to France to see Emily Blunt.
Source Code and Boss Level are a couple of other underrated time loop movies.
Definitely one of the best Sci Fi movies ever made.
