lmao

Well done.

"That's... that's why I'm here."

Shit! So what happens now, do I go home and change. (Victim of not reading comments before leaving my own)

That would've been perfect...

Would be great, but would have also required some very different directing.

That WOULD have been a better choice.

You can't have an actual female who can portray an actual strong female character in a Marvel movie without being a mary Sue.

She would be perfect for the role of fem Shepard (from Mass Effect).

You can even see the same thing happening to Cage. The further he gets, the more he loses his emotions. Rita went through the same thing at Verdun - watching someone she cared about die hundreds of times right in front of her.

I disliked how they changed her character from the book. Hollywood can't figure out that women can be strong, capable fighters without having to be sarcastic and cold. In the original Japanese novel, Rita is strong, intelligent, and insightful, but also in touch with her emotions. When Kiriya Keiji (that's where they got Cage's name--from Keiji) tells Rita that, he, too can loop. She bursts out in tears because finally, *finally* another person is able to understand what she has gone through.

@@hailene6093 Yes, I really liked the book. Them fighting to the death was a lot more satisfying than the Omega and Cage's laugh at the end of the movie as well.

@@SpecialEDy Indeed it was. Also the thing that pisses me off about Hollywood and its love of "heroic sacrifices" is that the hero ends up not dying in the end. Something flips it around and everyone gets their happy ending. Really cheapens their sacrifice and most of the stuff leading up to it.

Her original Novel/Manga version is way better than whatever this abomination of a character is. This movie is on the level of DB Evolution bad :( Just another shitty hollywood adaptation of a japanese Novel/Manga. I wonder why this crap gets a pass when DBE an Ghost in the Shell did not.

Yes. Long haired women can be badasses too.

I never felt that Rita was crammed down our necks like Rey, or Cpt Marvel.

Yes, she is muscular without looking masculine.

You gotta read drinkers books. Pleanty of strong female characters without sjw characters. Just look up ryan drake on audible.

I kept saying that. "Oh, this movie is basically Groundhog Day."

there is a solid reason for it: its source is a japanese manga, not bound by stupid constraints of modern western storytelling

I've watched Rain Man. He's aged a lot since then.

It's the cardio from all the running.

Sorry Chris I beg to differ, in my book Linda Hamilton did an awesome job in Terminator 2, shame she didn't get more chances to blow anybody else away, but she has left her mark!!!!!

@@vickiackling55 only Linda from the original 2 terminator movies though.

@@im_that_guy you got it.

@@vickiackling55 Mmmm I dunno. Sarah Connor spends a lot of The Terminator running and hiding, not yet the "mother of the future" she's expected to become. Kicking ass in the first movie seems for the most part to be the job of Sarah's guardian from the future - Kyle Reese, played by Michael Biehn in what has to be the role of his career. On the other hand, the more hardened character of Sarah Connor from T2 is rather unhinged. She even has to be stopped by her adolescent son from brutally murdering a scientist in front of his own family (for something he hasn't even done yet). And the mental institution / apocalypse scenes definitely push Linda Hamilton's acting ability a bit past (at least my) credulity. Sarah Connor is certainly an action icon, and no one can take that from Linda Hamilton - But frankly neither rendition of the Sarah Connor role comes off with the forceful grace of Emily Blunt's Rita Vratasky. I'd say this is in part because Rita gets exactly the right amount of screen time in Edge of Tomorrow - enough to keep us wanting more, not so much the character wears thin.

@@chriscase6929 ya I agree. She lost me when she went on her female rampage in T2, at the dinner table after she tried to kill the scientist went on a rant about (screaming) "MEN like you made the hydrogen bomb have no I dea what's it like to create life have it grow inside you!!!!" her son has to reel in her crazy.. To my knowledge Ripley never had a waaaman moment.

Is that how it ended? I've watched it a couple of times over the years and I have completely forgotten how it ends. lol

Also she noticed who he was at the ending there. IE she remembered.

@@TechnoMinarchistBall Have to say, I didn't see it that way. My thought has always been that he has a hill to climb precisely because she doesn't now have any experience of him and won't be re-living the earlier events again. His powers of persuasion will have to be on form. (Admittedly, I think we are meant to feel optimistic about this.)

@@mijorchard6206 So he arrives a day earlier than he usually does but she still reaponds with the same question "What do you want? Do I have something on my face?" Sarcastically. She asked him on a different day originally. Cage laughs at the end because he just realised she remembered. The reason Rita has memories is because when Cage was fighting Omega she was fighting an Alpha. They both managed to kill their targets and got soaked on blood (Rita assumed) with Cage gaining Omega's power and Rita gaining the Alpha's power (which is not to reset but also to exist outside of the timestream and their death can cause Omega to reset things). So to be more precise, Cage got Omega's powers and then Rita who now has Alpha's powers died, resetting the day to an earlier point.

@@mijorchard6206 To explain this in a better way I think we need to realise that our understanding of the time travel powers are actually a bit off. > 1. The Omega cannot reset time on command. > 2. The power that Alpha's have is not to reset time, it is to be independent of the time loop (hence why when killed and lose their blood they cease to exist). Their deaths cause the Omega's powers to activate (regardless as to whether the Omega wishes to or not) and their power (provided not stolen) allows them to retain memory of prior loops. > 3. When the Omega dies it does not reset time. When Cage goes to kill the Omega, Rita is fighting an Alpha. Cage kills the Omega and a fairly long amount of time passes before he absorbs its blood (.3). Cage now has the Omega's blood but he himself is about to die (which means he will lose its powers if an alpha does not die soon). Then suddenly off screen, Rita defeats the Alpha and is soaked in its blood, taking its powers with her as she dies. Time resets as a result and now both of them have knowledge of what has happened, with the Reset power being shared between them like how the Omega and the Alpha's shared their powers.

She had a stunt double for push ups bruh. A GUY stun double likely.

SAME!!!

Yes!!! I have seen this 5 times at least

Best action sci-fi of the current generation.

I agree it is so rewatchable. I feel the same about the Mask of Zorro, The Fifth Element, and Kill Bill.

Well, watching the movie 1 time is equal to watching the movie about 20 times anyways with some scenes repeating over and over lol.

Well, except for the mummy. That was trash. Lol

I wouldn't say they were great, but they are entertaining

This is my stance on almost every actor/actress. I generally dislike them, but the great thing is that they can pretend to be someone else.

Cruise is a good reminder that you can admire and respect someone even if you don't condone his personal beliefs. No one's perfect and no one is 100% likeable nor should anyone be.

Yep another gem from the Drinker - Emily Blunt's character is equal parts - beautiful, smart, beastly, and most importantly endearing - Side note Bill Paxton RIP

Indeed surprisingly smart. I had low expectations when I first watched it, but by the end, it was lodged in my "all time favorite" list; I've rewatched it many times since. Along with the good writing, it was filled with many great performances from the rest of the cast too.

Well yeah, it's because it's based on a very well thought out manga. For some reason, no one mentions this, but this is adaptation of "All you need is kill".

@@davorzdralo8000 I'm somewhat sure, that the manga in itself is based on a book of the same name. So: Book-->Manga-->Movie

@Kristopher Chavez That’s the best part of Tom being a huge star and consummate professional. When he takes on a project he makes sure it’s done properly.

Wokests keep claiming we just don't like strong female characters. But occasionally someone like Rita comes along and proves them wrong. We don't like badly written characters like Captain Marvel, we're absolutely fine with strong female characters when they're well written

for scientologists making scifi is like remaking Passion of Christ. So they work pretty darn hard

Or everyone's favorite: a movie/franchise "reimagined for modern times." That's just a red flag letting us know it's going to be loaded with overtly woke messaging, stunning and brave female characters, incompetent male characters...and let's not forget DivErSitY aNd iNcLusiOn.

@JZ's BFFIndeed, also, [Sneeze] War of the Worlds

I really liked Oblivion until the ending. There isn't really a resolution. It ended and all I could think was. "Ok, but what about all the other clones?" It left me unsatisfied with what was otherwise a great film.

Edge of Tomorrow is far superior to Oblivion

My first thought when he compared it to difficult games as well.

I was thinking Zero Kara Hajimeru, the main character also has to succeed or die

Many of the most creative or talented people are fucking borderline crazy if not all the way. It feeds their artistry tbh

He says something like, "I can't get any further without you being killed", as if he wanted to just stay in that farmhouse and war be damned. For me, the most powerful moment in the movie, and I wish they developed the human element more.

This performance prompted me to enjoy other Cruise sci-fi films I have missed.

@@yt45204 John Krasinsky. Not such a bad looking dude. But... Emily Blunt?

The problem with Captain Marvel isn't just about the actress that played the role. The character was simply written to be an arrogant a-hole in MCU. there is no way anyone could make her likable

@@amirh6712 In the very few comics I've read of Captain Marvel, she is exactly like that. Wooden, boring and powerful but there's always some big bad than will kick her ass anyway.

Everyone has weird frikin beliefs. Tom Cruise is a gem in the industry. He has been entertaining us to no end for the last 40 years. He does his own stunts. He's authentic. He's a nice guy. He makes time for his fans and appreciates them. Hell. He's a dude!

Emily probably wouldn't want to follow that PC bs script.

They spend as much as the movie costs to make on the marketing. They had NO idea except "its Tom Cruise" The sci-fi audience was out there, but the 'movie' professionals didn't understand their value to the movies success. Big salaries don't guarantee effectiveness, only the magnitude of the loss

@@mr.dalerobinson true, they also made a mess of it's home release aswell

I don't really read books, but the source material "All You Need Is Kill" is epic AF

ON YOUR FEET MAGGOT! ...is what I think to myself in the morning of those days where things are becoming an unenjoyable slog. Which isn't everday, but still. It's either King Theoden, 'A hard day, a red day, and the sun rises' or it's 'on your feet maggot'.

Is it wrong that I sometimes just love watching this movie just because of how cathartic it is to watch Tom Cruise's character get annihilated over and over again? That and the concept was cool, and set itself up in a natural way for a sequel...or to leave it alone.

Well.. don't. The series is based on finished novel and manga, All you need is kill Trying to do sequel of a finished series is a recipe for a disaster

Honestly, if I had to choose between scientologists and radical leftists, I think I'd go with the former.

Fortunately, I don't think he projects his private and political views into his movies or interviews. I may be wrong, but I don't remember hearing much about what he was doing in his own life until Scientology, and that was because Scientology was trying to use him as their poster boy.

Same here. But many people dont want to watch movies if they dont like the actors in the movie irl.

@@TheBarser I am sort of like that. I can't watch Meryl anymore because of the fawning over Polanski. Spacey, Hart, Hanks, all have gone into the not watching bin. But I can still watch Tom.

​@@TheBarser It really depends on how they actors themselves handle it. They can be like Cruise, and love to make movies and or they can be like Streep and just so infect their image with PR lies and politics that it becomes impossible to separate them when they do actually appear in a movie. And then you have actors that are way more interested in spreading THE MESSAGE than they are in acting, a la Brie Larson. Artworks and the creators of the art are separate to a degree, but the converse is also true, they are connected to a degree as well.

I wonder how much "subjective time" his character went through until the end of the film, repeating all those days to learn the correct route to the finale. I remember estimates for Bill Murray in GH day was like 10-15 years to learn all the skills by the end of the film.

@@fuzzblightyear145 In the original script it was 10,000 years. I always liked that.

Flims like this that didnt do amazing box office do exceptionally well after theater releases. This movie will still be raking in big $$ in 10 years time.

At least it didn’t have some cheesy cliffhanger ending to milk in the event that it’s a success, or ruin the movie in the event that it doesn’t get a sequel. I’m guessing that was partly Toms doing.

They seriously botched the marketing for the movie. Tends to happen when you’re making posters and the title of the movie isn’t clear.

I took advantage of that and saw 3 times in theaters with different groups of friends lol

This will get lumped in with the cult classics. Surprisingly there are many of them that take on a new life after the theater. Some good movies some bad. But this was definitely one of the good ones.

@@gmlviper Ok, it was a cheesy dizney story, so what? So were all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, that many of you think are so awesome.

Alita battle angel was pretty good too not gonna lie

I was stoked for this to come out because the trailer made it look absolutely amazing. I was even more stoked that the movie held up to the trailer.

It stands to reason she would not only kick most people's asses, but not take Cruise seriously at all. The film gets it.

not with that shitty script

@@Culencio.Mierdandez I have to agree... The story lacked in everything but explosions...

@@Culencio.Mierdandez I didn't say she would have made the Capt Marvel movie great. I said SHE would have been great. infinitely better than Brie.

Ditto what the others said. With a better script, Emily Blunt would have made a memorable (in a good way) Captain Marvel. As Drinker says, in EOT, her character is tough and strong yet vulnerable and sympathetic. How much of Brie Larson's terrible performance as Captain Marvel is her acting and how much is the script, I don't know.

She’s too good for comic book movies.

Well they made it make sense in the universe. They needed warm bodies to be soldiers, so they invented technology that let anyone be a soldier without a whole lot of training or physical strength, thus explicitly allowing women to serve on the front lines. And then Rita had who knows how much time to learn how to fight, and fight smart. Then they showed us in the film her and him planning out strategy, failing at strategy, then getting better strategy, instead of just magically winging it and somehow winning on the first try.

Just read Starship Troopers. Engaging read. I enjoy the movie for what it is too... but the book is definitely better.

@@ThomB1031 I did the audiobook. Wildly different tones, yet I agree. the book made humanity far less idiotic while also laying out the setting and reasons for war in a clearer manner (no compromise foe with superior numbers, superior replenishment and remarkable resilience). The cartoon/animated-series (roughnecks) is somewhere between both but it was a restricted budget in early days CG with an aim at teens (has a less mature and less experienced Rico/Ibanez) so it’s far more hit n miss these the 2 predecessors. Still it had its moments and there was heavy equipment and support vehicles where the movie was a human swarm vs bug swarm affair. The anime/animated movies are watchable but there’s something off about seeing Japanese anime style side characters in English dubs for a western sci fi movie style. As to the focus last movie sequels. The less said the better, marauder at least had an idea but the execution of all of them was dire.

Starship Troopers is one of my favorite books of all time, but one of the worst movie adaptations I have ever had the dispriveledge of watching.

Stick the Tomorrow War as well in there.

What's funny is that is a plot point in the book too.

I guess that's how she earned "That" reputation in the movie

its not only the words. its how he act in that scene ... so hilarious

Spot on. So many movies magnify the leads so much everyone else is window dressing, but EOT made a time loop movie more satisfying by fleshing out the 'other' characters so you GAF EVEN MORE to the success of the mission. It wasn't just the leads you wanted to survive the end credits!

I haven't read the book, so I'll have to take your word for it, but it's great when both the book and the movie both tell compelling but different stories.

Actually it's based on a light novel, not a manga. I personally didn't like the idea of having a "loose adaption" of a great short story, but it seems like it makes for a good movie story anyway. Though the novel is many times better and gets a big recommendation from me, it's also crazy short, so a nice quick read.

@@KoinzellGaming i love how there was no waste in the story. Just right to the point

@timmybmn Maybe, the novel was released on 2004, so maybe the novel's idea was based on groundhog day? But the basis of this movie (and manga) was the novel.

One of the few movies, were the aliens are actually alien, not in anyway humanoid.

The fact that they're just a blur that'll kill you before you've even realised it and that they literally plant themselves in the ground and act as living noise activated minefield. Much better than most aliens you see in shows.

It was one of the most creative Alien cocepts I've ever seen. No green or grey little men or ugly monsters (looking at you Alien trilogy) but an Alien race that pretty much is one whole organism? Very cool idea. The only thing I had to criticise about them is that we never got to know their motive for attacking.
