It was very good. I like it a lot. It's too bad it did so poorly at the box office.
Oblivion is better
Tom is based
fuck you.
low iq
I usually despise action movies but Edge of Tomorrow was decent enough.
>no diversity bullshit.
What does that even mean, the platoon he takes with him is a diverse group of people, also Paxton's character is from Kentucky which means he gets special parking.
Really liked it. Tom Cruise looking like a middle aged lesbian in his battlesuit was hilarious and I really want to fuck Emily.
I just didn't like the plot armor after he lost his powers.
>Die to the lamest shit before
>Suddenly survive a plane crash and other crazy shit
Very good, best manga to movie adaption by some distance, don't see why Alita is getting so much praise it doesn't come close.
Maybe it would've worked better as a mini series for some people.
Yeah, it's one of my favorites of recent memory. People just don't want good sci-fi or even fantasy, for the most part. They want capeshit. It's sad.
One of the best movie trailers, too.
the diversity was well done , one black supporting character with an actual decent backstory.
they didn't shove a minority into the main cast just to be diverse.
Dumbest film I've seen in a while. Completely overhyped garbage.
As far as sci-fi goes, it can't go ten seconds without contradicting its own plot.
>When an Alpha dies, the day is automatically reset
Okay, how does anybody ever figure this out? It's literally impossible to observe. The entire plot is that the day resets for you and nobody else, and you retain the information. This is the entire reason Rita looks like a superhero, because she's memorized a single day and it looks like she killed hundreds of mimics on her first day in battle. So there's no chance Scientist Man or anybody could ever figure this out.
>I built this borderline magical device that """connects to the neural link between an Alpha and the Omega"""
What? What the fuck? How did he build this? How does he understand mimic biology to this extent? This is so far beyond what humans can process anyway, to just be able not to reverse engineer something he found, which would have been equally impossible, but to make something that doesn't exist up out of thin air based on technology and biology he has no comprehension of? And then it works on Tom despite being human? Just jam it in his thigh!
Good sci-fi movies are the ones with plots so amazing the technical details don't matter. Luke just flies from Hoth to Dagobah in a one-person X-wing, no mention of space fuel, or food, or anything. At one point X-wings can go lightspeed, then later they retcon it. The story is actually so good nobody cares and it becomes a nitpick. But in Live, Die, Repeat, the central focus of the story and plot makes no sense once you start asking any questions at all.
MUCH BETTER THAN ALITA
Better than Fury Road.
havn't seen alita.
totally justified opinion.
Based and truthpilled
Both are good though
How does he always get the female leads so right? Emily Blunt was great without coming off as annoying.
IIIIIIIII NEEED TO KNOOOOOW NOOW
CAN YOU LOVE ME AGAIN.
The ending was controversial , but that fucking last line , and that fucking theme song is perfection, it alone is worth every other action movie of the last years.
Shit opinion. If not for the sceneryporn and prime Andrea it would be a shit film.
not even sceneryporn could save that shit movie.
I like the first half of Oblivion, then it has that "twist" seen a million times with the clones, completely fucking killed the movie.
Anyway, Edge of Tomorrow takes a giant shit on it.
Was good except for Emily Blunt's ugly ass ruining every scene she was in.
She was fine you fucking incel
Yeah, I really liked the ending desu. Might have to re watch it niw
Groundhog Day for edgelords
I liked it a alot
it's not even edgy you dumbfuck.
Yea but the people who like it are
No, not really.
Nope it would have been better
Everybody here loves it, but yeah its a shame it didnt succeed
Oblivion is a great film, but it is completely carried by the GOD TIER soundtrack. Without the OST its just another scifi movie, and EOT is better. Ut yes, objectively i do agree that Oblivion is a better complete package
Been lurking here for two weeks , never seen a thread about it.
I'd unironically watch an Emily Blunt carried prequel
seems like a lot of people rewatched it over Christmas break, myself included. there were a lot of threads then
people give it plenty of credit
they should have kept the original title 'all you need is kill'
>literally has edge in the title
>> best adaptation of a japanese source material ever.
>February 2019
>Alita: Battle Angel in currently in theatres
umm sweaty
Arrival >>>>> Edge of Tomorrow, Oblivion, Interstellar and District 9 combined
I usually can't stand action flicks but this one was good. Bullshit ending though.
only bullshit because we didnt get to see them make out and do the sex
If it wasn't so aesthetically pleasing, people wouldn't be able to focus on how that makes it supposedly shallow and it would unintuitively have been more well-received, imo.
>Groundhog Day with war
Without the comedic brilliance of Bill Murray, and of these "repeating" movies drags heavily because watching the same shit (even if it's slightly different) over and over again is boring.
my parents both liked it liked it
But there's barely any of that
Did you even watch the movie?
I did. Tons of shit repeats.
I'm a sucker for grandiose battle scenes. Its also a plus that the alien design was really unique.
Oi mate, I think there's something wrong with your suit.
I seldom watch action flicks and even less sci-fis, I despise capeshit despite loving comic books as a kid and I don't give two fucks about anything Japanese.
That being said, Edge of Tomorrow was surprisingly enjoyable.
there's a dead guy in it.
No the movie was bad.
The problem is that Hollywood doesn't want to innovate it's action movie formula without using stupid PC diversity shit.
>complains movie is bad because of PC diversity shit
>movie contains no PC diversity shit
Literally what the fuck are you talking about you actual incel retard
What the fucking fuck you retard
they were too afraid to give anything away and so the trailers were boring. a similar thing happened with oblivion imo. what tom needs to do for marketing in the future (since he doesn't want to give away crucial plot points) is long scenes. didn't he do that with the skyscraper scene in MI4? a longer scene with some action and tension, that's how you advertise a movie like the ones tom cruise makes, without giving plot away.
But going to this movie blind was so satisfying.
and yet if few people go see it that means fewer such movies will be made.
agree
this movie was excellent
WRONG
but only because these movies are not competing. they're both fucking amazing and Tom Cruise is a genius
> best action film in the last 5 years.
it's not Mad Max FR
> best sci-fi in the last 5 years.
it's not BR 2049
> best blockbuster in the last 5 years that wasn't cape shit.
again, not Mad Max FR
> best adaptation of a japanese source material ever.
kinda agree
> amazing performance by emily blunt and tomm cruise
Tom never fails
> no diversity bullshit.
I forgot about this, damn that trailer was well fucking done.
Plot became too generic towards the end. It's like they ran out of ideas.
WHERES THE SEQUEL?!
gotta appeal the masses
the kiss was stupid as fuck, it's like they put it in there out of complete obligation.
Turn your brain off, retard. The film deals with aliens and time travel for fucks sake
you don't even have to turn it all the way off, it's not a stupid film by any means but there could a couple of problematic plot points that you just have to accept.
>How can anybody understand this
You answered this in your own post. She already went into the system, hundreds if not thousands of times, allowing her all the time she needed to learn through trial and error. She and the scientist know each other, so it's clear they have a history. They could have very easily learned from one another; he learns their biology and technology, she learns their methods and powers, and together they piece together the larger puzzle. It's not that hard to piece together yourself, and nothing with that breaks the rules they've established. The same goes for the device, he based it on a mix of her confirmed powers and his knowledge of the creatures themselves, and even then untested and unconfirmed to actually work until they could
It was one of a kind, unique. It's such a niche genre
>Futuristic War
>Timeloop
>Alien Attack
yup. the best things all together
>it's not Mad Max FR
Films need a plot in order to be good.
But it made sense for the platoon to be a mishmash of other minorities They were a bunch of poorly education Americans enlisting into shit infantry roles to kill some aliens. The bottom of the barely jobs in the military are usually held by a bunch of blacks and latinos.
Diversity bullshit would be casting Rita as a Asian they pulled off the street and Cage as John Boyega.
Damn. I forgot how good this trailer was. The only major downside of the movie was the music wasn't very inspired.
exactly.
nope. great scenes, good pacing etc. but TERRIBLE music. nobody wants to hear that gay robot voice, it says faggots at a rave, not "action movie".
Yea awful title though
The 2nd half of Oblivion, to me, represented realizing that the job (and career) we think we are doing is so ultra important... that it is actually meaningless.
Learned this at a nonprofit org I worked at- put in 60+ hours a week and after I left *poof* like I was never there. All that self-sacrifice for what??
>bombs in the box office
Did it though? It wasnt a huge success but it made more than double its money back.
The problem is people arent "going" to movies just because they're good anymore. You have to create a cult and get that fan loyalty to "support" a movie. Also for the visual and audio spectacle anymore, if its just a drama or mystery that hinges only on good acting and writing then whats the point of paying for a movie ticket when you can just watch it on tv at home. Yeah Edge of tomorrow was a visual action spectacle but nobody knew that it actually had a good story too, tagline; live die repeat, oh so its like a video game. People were probably fatigued from stuff like elysium, pacific rim, and oblivion too.
Audience fatigue of big CGI spectacle was definitely a contributing factor to why the movie didn't see higher box office. I worked in a movie theatre at the time, and most people thought it was just another "A-list actor on a green screen fighting aliens" movie. Without an obsessive cult following, movies rarely perform well at the box office anymore. Long gone are the days of solid, creative movies making decent money from curious crowds.
And unfortunately studios don't see double the budget as profit anymore. Why spend $170 million on a fun movie that makes double the investment, when you can spend the same amount to shill out another super hero movie that is guaranteed to break $750 mill?
Man you guys really think so? I wouldn't give much of a second thought if this trailer was the dealbreaker, it doesn't really tell you much the premise or what is unique about it in any way really.
Like said, from this trailer it just looks like another random "A-list actor on a green screen fighting aliens" movie."
I know they didn't want to spoil details about the plot and premise, but it's kinda what people come to this movie for.
the first what, 30 minutes after he gets put on the front lines i thought was hysterical, all the different ways he tries to change the day and fails horribly. then the training scenes afterwards were also pretty great, the way tom goes from 'nonono dont kill me' to 'okay yeah i scraped my knee put a bullet in my head' showed progress of time when you knew technically time wasn't passing at all
thought the movie was one of the most fun action movies we've seen in a while, probably for a long time to come as well
You can make a difference. Whether it's helping someone out or doing a good job and helping the organization run a bit more smoothly, being a good or even simply average worker is still better than being a bad worker. Not shitting on your coworkers and being nice/polite to them keeps office morale up, etc.
Also one of the most replayable movies ever.
Yeah this was a fun movie. I think Tom Cruise just wasnt a big enough draw for this kind of film
Maybe if they had him as a side character and brought in a no name... but it was done at the end of his career
Good film even if its a familiar concept
It doesn't help that half my normie friends think this movie is called live die repeat.
But yeah this is an underrated movie. Suprising because usually tom cruise movies get their due
how ?
I just wish Tomorrow had Oblivion's soundtrack.
The OST sucked ass. Good sound editing though, along with sound effects.
i appreciate them dedicating numerous scenes to tom dying to freak accidents because he mistimed things.
ruined by Cruise's hammy as fuck "acting". Literally "IM TOM CRUISE AND I'M ACTING VRY INTENSE", as usual
inb4 cruisefags
fuck you.
no u
Cruise's I'M ACTING sometimes does on movies (see: Collateral) but it was so fucking out of place in EoT.
