"Battle is the great redeemer", and Cage certainly is redeemed. This is one of my favorite sci-fi movies of the past 20 years. It's got real heart and the right amount of romance, excellent action, and is legitimately funny. One thing I appreciate after multiple viewing is why Rita is in slow motion every time Cage sees her for the first time, whether it's the beach or the training room. It's because Cage is in awe of her every time. Bro has it bad for her from first sight. HA
Enjoyed this movie. Love a good time loop story. This one had good action as typical Tom Cruise movies do but had some laughs. If you haven’t seen Knight and Day, it’s a funny TC action movie I’d love to see you react to.
you get send back 24h hours when you have the blood, the first time he died much much later that day so when he got the 2nd reset bloood from omega he died much earlier so he was send back 24h :)
Some enjoyable Time Loop movies: "Timecrimes", about a man who stumbles into the middle of a time travel experiment that goes wrong. "Primer" is the arch mindfuck time travel movie, with entire webpages devoted to unraveling it. "ARQ", a couple wakes up in bed during a violent home invasion. Then again and again and again... "Triangle"(2009) Several people on a small boat get capsized in a storm and find refuge on a deserted ocean liner. More psychological horror than sci-fi.
There's a ton of time-lapse continuance errors throughout, but I think the evolving storyline would suffer a lot if they avoided them altogether. But this is the particular genre that to me Tom Cruise excels in, and he also got much better as he got older and matured as an actor. Him and Cameron Diaz in "Day & Knight" is right down that alley, and a very underrated TC film.
i.e. -- he says the two vehicles they haven't tried yet are the camper and the green SUV, but at the helicopter barn he says 'this is as far as you get', so they obviously took that camper before and he would've known there was a mimic in the camper.
Oh yeeeeeeeeaahhhh🤔. That's a good point. And he didn't reset in between those two moments so it doesn't make sense. It also seemed like he was reminding her to unhook the trailer rather than telling her, because she may have forgotten in previous resets. She's intelligent enough to know it would slow them down.
This is in my top three of Tom Cruise 'Sci-fi/Futuristic' films... Edge of Tomorrow, Oblivion, and Minority Report. All 3 are amazing and thought--provoking movies. Almost commented on the last reaction, and couldn't help it this time: You are rocking a super clean haircut, brother. Looking Sharp!
The Groundhog Day concept, while not widely done, has been done a few times - not necessarily in cinema, but a few times TV episodes of various shows. Star Trek TNG, and Stargate SG-1 come to mind. I personally think it's also one of the better examples of the concept. One of the risks, of the Groundhog Day concept, is lingering too much on the loop, until it starts to become tedious. When they went to quick cuts of the loop repeating, they drifted close to "We get the idea... Get on with it." without going over. It's really hard to play out a loop of that size. You want to maintain the concept that there's a loop, but you also want to move the story along. You don't want it to start feeling like save points in a game, and start feeling a bit routine - especially when you're rolling toward a climax. I really like that they started throwing some "last loop" references. That allowed them to remind people that looping was going on, without slowing down things with restarts. Finally, I liked the idea that they instantly re-introduced some stakes, by having him lose the power. It was a simple thing, but it made the build-up and climax all the more intense. The film did a great job of covering the concepts related to being in a loop, seeing strangers become friends, seeing those friends die, having to make choices because of a greater mission, etc. The technology was good and believable. They made it look good and practical, without having it overpower the story. Perhaps, the suits might have made a good merchandising opportunity, but it wasn't that type of movie. The tech was tools. The ending was kinda interesting. It was unexpected, It wasn't hopeless, it could be considered a "Happy" ending, because lives were saved, but it's really hard to predict what the story might be from that point. I enjoyed the film, and I enjoyed the reaction. This film hasn't been covered that often, yet. Glad to see it being covered.
Since you ask there are two other timeloop movies of this calibre worth watching. They are ... BOSS LEVEL which takes the video game action aspect of this movie to a manic level (hence the name) and PALM SPRINGS which doubles down on the romcom aspects of this movie by exploring the possibilities when three unlikely to be matched strangers (a single young guy, a single young gal and a middle aged married guy) get caught up in the loop. Both movies came out around 2020 and are well done, intelligent and a lot of fun, with the first featuring fellow Aussie, Mel Gibson, as the heavy, and the second featuring 2 scenes containing brachiosaurs, if that is your thing.
Dude. Predestination. That movie blew my mind about 4 times when I watched it. It's not overly complicated but the way they reveal things during the course of the movie is really effective.
@@itt23r go give it a try mate, it's really worth it. The main character is played by Ethan Hawke and thats all I'm going to say about it. Let's put it this way: since I watched it, I use it to compare all other time travel movies against it.
Great reaction to one of my all-time favorite sci-fi action movies! I think it's underrated because it's surprisingly really funny! I'm not even a fan of Tom Cruise, but I liked him in this.
This is such a re-watchable movie! And I liked your comment about them being like synapses (for the hive mind). But do you think Cage'll ever die of old age? He might just end up repeating the same day over and over again, as a very old man. Or do you think the ability got used up when the Omega died? And thus a normal life after that?
-The montage of her dying over and over and over again...I imagine experiencing that would drive someone insane. -This was a very very good movie. Tom Cruise is an odd man, but he does know how to make decent action movies.
2:37 Hold on a minute, have they just green screened Tom Cruise over the background of some footage of the ‘war room’ control center from the War Games movie? LOL - seen this movie a few times and never noticed that before.
If I told you about the other groundhog Day movie I know of, it would ruin the twist of the movie. I will just suggest it under one of your other videos at some point.
I think the last reset was like a one-time death reflex of the dying Omega, because it didn't return to life even when the time got reset. Interestingly, they still said in the news report that there was some kind of an energy surge, which would have happened the next night when they go to kill it, but instead it seems to have traveled back in time and died there (and then), creating the pulse that destroys the aliens.
Question: if the Alpha let him bleed out at the dam, wouldn't he die and reset the day anyway? It's not like he could get a blood transfusion and live while losing the ability to reset the day.
I think as long as all the alpha blood is gone, that's what counts. The transfusion just means he'll still be alive (but without the ability to reset). Bleeding out means he'll be super dead .
a movie that reminded us that tom cruise is (was) very good in other types of roles too like comedy for example.sorry for a LONG time he only did action movies.THIS movie..would be interesting to see a sequel but only if it's made by professionals who haven't heard the word "woke".
RIP Bill Paxton

Yeah! No one reacts to that one. I'll second that request.

@@RamblersInc "Day Break" series is also worth mentioning here - it's a crime story in a loop

Brendan Gleeson is so good in everything...i highly recommend In Bruges or The Guard
Or something very personal with The Grand Seduction. He's great as a Newfoundlander.

Oblivion looks good. We'll have to add that to the list.
Thanks 🙌
Please do The Last Samurai & A Few Good Men, too ❤@@RamblersInc
Had no idea what to expect going into this and it ended up such a fun and easy rewatch able popcorn flick
GREETINGS GENTLEMEN, Long time, no snark. I didnt see this until 2019 or so, but I also recommend another Cruise masterpiece: OBLIVION.
Added to the list. At this moment it's hard to find a Cruise fail when it comes to movies (Then again we've only reacted to 3 so far).

Outstanding sci-fi movie!
Great react guys!
This movie is so good. And so many ppl don’t know about it.
Yeh, it's definitely a really good time loop movie.
Another good Tom Cruise movie is Knight and Day. He sort of plays a parody of his mission impossible character.
It was unexpectedly good. It reminded me a lot of RED. It's an occasional RUclips free title.

We'll add them to the watchlist. Time loop and dinosaurs?? yes please.
@@neutchain7838 I will. Ethan Hawke is a good enticement. Can't think of any movie I've seen him in I didn't like.
Oblivion should be the next. Underrated Tom Cruise sci-fi from roughly the same time.
Great reaction to one of my all-time favorite sci-fi action movies! I think it's underrated because it's surprisingly really funny! I'm not even a fan of Tom Cruise, but I liked him in this.
It was great seeing another version of Groundhog Day. You can't beat a good time loop movie.
Check out "DEJA VU", with Denzel Washington,Great movie along similar lines as this.

I think it got used up for one last reset. But....that would be great to add in for a sequel.
-The montage of her dying over and over and over again...I imagine experiencing that would drive someone insane.

Died earlier in the day, so reset earlier the previous day.
I think the last reset was like a one-time death reflex of the dying Omega, because it didn't return to life even when the time got reset. Interestingly, they still said in the news report that there was some kind of an energy surge, which would have happened the next night when they go to kill it, but instead it seems to have traveled back in time and died there (and then), creating the pulse that destroys the aliens.
Have you guys seen "Attack the Block"? Another really great and entertaining alien invasion movie. Much smaller scale than this one, though.
We've not seen that. Don't think I've seen John Boyega in anything other than the new Star Wars trilogy.
@@RamblersInc OMG. I think you'd really love it. Really funny, truly scary in parts, and the creature design is quite original. It's a lot of fun.
It is always about the choreography.
Question: if the Alpha let him bleed out at the dam, wouldn't he die and reset the day anyway? It's not like he could get a blood transfusion and live while losing the ability to reset the day.
I think they misrepresented it.. it should have been about the alien blood leaving the body instead of more human blood being put in it.
I think as long as all the alpha blood is gone, that's what counts. The transfusion just means he'll still be alive (but without the ability to reset). Bleeding out means he'll be super dead .
@@RamblersInc ok, that works for me. Good thinking
38:58 Oh come on Winamp! Or to young?
the one with the orange lightning symbol? I remember.
Emily Blunt? Should be Emily Sharp! ;)
😂
How does she know she lost it?
I guess she could "feel" it leaving her system. Otherwise there's no other way 😂

I mean....what would the sequel be though? We've beaten the aliens already.
@@RamblersInc there's always a bigger fish, and we already have a bigger fishing rod, don't we?
Or......do we ?
