Tom Cruise has been excellent throughout his career. He might be the best of all time. I'd have to put all of these movies of his up there: Risky Business, All the Right Moves, Cocktail, Rain Man (Best Picture winner), Born on the Fourth of July (Oscar nomination for him), A Few Good Men (Oscar nominated), The Firm, Jerry Maguire (Oscar winner), Minority Report (Oscar nominated), Collateral (Oscar nominated), War of the Worlds, Oblivion (another awesome sci-fi movie made right before this one) Top Gun Maverick (Oscar nominated, didn't like the original chick flick although he made that one better with the brilliant sequel) and the last 4 Mission Impossible movies. Emily Blunt- just the two Quiet Place movies (thanks to the brilliance of her husband) and this one. If I had to choose my favorites of all those top tier Cruise movies listed above, I'd go with Jerry Maguire, Rain Man, Minority Report, The Firm and the Top Gun sequel as the top 5 in that order.
This is honestly such a great and really criminally under-appreciated action blockbuster. Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise had strong chemistry together. Bummer that it wasn't that huge of a box office hit.
@@Nick-pu3of Wrong. it wasn't nearly enough $. Youre looking at production, not marketing budget $. (also the 50% taken from distrib / cinemas owners) "After the film's theatrical run, Entertainment Weekly said it had a "lukewarm box-office reception" despite praise from critics lukewarm box-office reception"" It is criminally underappreaciated by the public. This was a fuking awesome action movie, and most people do not know it. I only accidentally stumbled on it, after dismissing it as usual cruise action tripe. Compare to the utter UTTER shite & fuking detestable garbage ala Fast & Furious and all the rest. I repeat, pun intended, this is criminally unappreciated/unknown. This is one of the best action movies EVER. I do not say this lightly. Objectively so. Whiplash, Edge of tomorrow, Grand Budapest, Hereditary, Palm Springs, The Favourite, Mad Max, Blue Jasmine - Best movies of past 10 years.
Tail rotor blade to be exact…But unfortunately since I fly helis for a living I know those tail rotors aren’t that robust for a sword…One whack and that thing will bend to all hell..lol.
Helicopter Blades are made of Honeycomb composite......not steel. Helicopter blades are designed to flex and when they hit something of significant size they splinter and explode.....
The problem is that some really good movies can be overlooked and sometimes the producers are aware of that, so they try and more of an effort on it but people do not pay that much attention to it, either due to lack of marketing or huge competition. However it’s only later that people actually acknowledge they’re pretty good. Not saying that’s the case with this movie but just in general in my opinion
The suits were actually real, and very heavy. They had to learn to run in them and move in them. Emily Blunt talked about training in the suits. Also another great Sci-Fi movie that Tom Cruise is in, is Oblivion
Some of the scenes, for Emily, there was someone else to act as body double for her. If I'm not mistaken it's the same guy that also played the decoy John Lark that beat up Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt and Henry Cavill's August Walker in Mission Impossible 6 in the bathroom fight scene.
I remember reading somewhere Tom actually made a competition to see who could get ready the fastest and brought the ready-time way down saving the production team a lot of trouble
Yeah, it makes more sense than how I had interpreted it. I always thought it meant there was another creature out there (like on their home planet or something) that resets time whenever an Omega is killed. Stella's interpretation makes more sense because time hadn't _completely_ reset: the Omega was still dead and their pre-reset actions had affected the timeline (unlike with an Alpha-death reset).
@@janeldavis905 my personal theory is that MC becomes the new omega, just the movie ends before he can confirm it. As the books are completely different from the movies cant really say for sure.
@@wilihelm2242 it make more sense... After killing omega time do not reset... only when he got its blood. The ending? Its him going back to time when he want to be... before become "deserter".
@@parvonik1359 Light Novel (Young Adult novel equivalent) came first than the movie happened and they did a manga that sort of combined aspects from both the movie and the original novel itself.
Have you noticed how Emily Blunt doesn't even blink when she fires her gun? That's insane control. Pretty much every other actor blinks. Such a badass!
Also heard that it took a couple hours to put people into the suit on set. Until tom cruise challenged everyone into a race to put it on the fastest. Got it down to couple minutes.
Dude nailed it early on: I like to tell people that this is my favorite video-game movie 😆because it really does completely capture the experience of playing a video game over and over and over, memorizing every move, until you finally beat the game on your last life. Especially the really tough old-school video games with no saves: if you lose your last life, you have to start all over 😅 I kind of miss that era!
What I realized on rewatch is that the slow motion effect of Rita getting up from doing yoga is how Cage sees her the first time he lays eyes on her everytime. Just adds that much more heart to an already great movie with great performances that have a boatload of chemistry. The man had it bad from day one.
You should also react to Oblivion. It's another Tom Cruise sci-fi movie I really enjoyed. There's not this much action or humor in it, but there's a lot of style and the same caliber of acting performance from Cruise himself. Also, the credits song is a masterpiece, one of my favourite songs of all time.
What really interested me about this film is that it combines the novel it was based on (the Japanese book All You Need Is Kill) with the World War II operation it also served to commemorate (the D-Day landings). It was even released on the 70th anniversary of those landings. Verdun in the beginning was also a World War I reference, and Operation Downfall was the name of a failed Allied invasion of Japan during WWII. Plus, can we appreciate that this film has basically become a metaphor for Tom Cruise's entire acting career? For his first 15 years, outside of the original Top Gun and Days of Thunder, he wasn't really that much of an action star. His bravery and dedication to his work has increased since he started the Mission Impossible series, just like his character here became better skilled as a fighter with each loop, to the point that he has done his own stunts for many years now, Top Gun: Maverick has become the best and most successful film of his career, and MI: Dead Reckoning Part 1 is already going so strong.

I love what Stella was saying about the uniqueness of this role for Tom Cruise and the self-contained story within this movie. And I just love Emily Blunt! I totally agree with Stella’s perspective about the movie and what she enjoyed at the end. Great reaction y’all!👏🏼
Yeah Stella was really on point with this movie. Just like Stella, I went into Edge of Tomorrow not really liking the Tom Cruise persona, and one of the coolest things EoT does is spend an entire movie earning exactly one shot of Tom Cruise being the Tom Cruise persona - the last shot of the movie, a split second of Cruise turning on the Tom Cruise high beams and it's 1000% earned.
I love the fact that Emily Blunt nearly took out Tom Cruise in a stunt in this movie. She was driving and he had to be the passenger in that scene and kept telling her to "brake!!" multiple times. She didn't listen (she wanted to show him that she could do it her way) and ended up slamming into a tree 😂😅. I really enjoyed this movie! Can't wait for your reactions!! 😊
It's not a film starring Tom Cruise if there is not a accident during a stunt... Which is what worries me, i hope he passes the torch to stuntmen before luck runs out.
I know some people that initially refused to see this movie because they hate Tom Cruise. I asked them if they’d like to see him die over and over, and they eventually watched it. 😂
Can you believe that I was the only person in the theater on opening night?? It was an IMAX screening too. I was like WTF? Where is everybody?! They've just missed a great movie!
The end was a nice touch, where he not only reset the day, but because they did the attack so soon, it was still the day before the battle, so he was reset one day previous. So he never ruined his career. Either that, or it reset to when you last slept.
I like that those exosuits prevent a plot hole - he repeats every day, but with knowledge, not physical training, but it's not a problem, beacause he doesn't have to be strong or good with some combat technics.
I really enjoy this movie a lot when I first watched and all the times later that I re-watched, it still holds up really well. It is incredibly underrated action sci-fy and the Tom and Emily did a really good job in this
The author even went to the trouble of stating that the loop starts 24 hours to before he dies. The siege was in the morning a few hours before the invasion. So he got sent back to 24 earlier in the morning when he first landed in London for his meeting with the General. You all get the connection between Cage & Rita, Rita had the same connection with Henderson that Cage has with her thus the kiss she gives him at the end. Rita knows Cage is in love with her even if she doesn't feel the same way.
There's an interesting theory about this film. In 2012 Tom Cruise had a pretty public breakdown: divorce from Katie Holmes, didn't see his daughter for 4 months, sued a magazine for defamation, etc. In 2014 he was still a good actor, but not a popular one. Several reviewers suggested that his multiple deaths early in the film don't only act as plot advancement, they are also catharsis for the viewer. By dying on screen multiple time before he gets back to form, the audience can forgive and move on. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but it's an interesting theory.
Yes they wore the Suits! They were so heavy Emily Blunt was almost in tears after the first day saying she can't do it! But Tom gave her a classic Tom pep talk saying he wouldn't haven't chosen her otherwise, he knew she was a badass n had the stones to pull it off! Took her a two weeks to get physically used to moving with the weight of the suits. She's awesome, practically a National Treasure in Britain!❤
There have been talks about a sequel over the last few yrs. I think with it resetting at the end to before the invasion started is due to it being the mimics endgame, that they'd been herding humanity to this point, so they/it was concentrating on this exact point in time. Rita says she watched Hendricks die hundreds of times, so it has to have been a minimum of 200 days she experienced in her time loop. & for Gage, it has to have been at least the same amount of time or more, due to the montage of trying to get them off the beach, as well as teaching Rita the exact locations/timing of their movements, as teaching yourself something is hard enough, teaching someone else in less than a day, is insane.
I like this movie, thanks for the reaction! But I love the book more. There's a lot of stuff different (including the place in which it all happens, which is Japan). But the main things that I was bummed they didn't take to the movie was that: 1)The suits had a "guidance" mode which allowed people with no experience to use them, but that restricted the movements and limited the force at around a quarter (protecting them from doing extremely powerful movements that endangered the body), this thing was deactivated by The Full Metal Bitch and the protagonist because 2) The Full Metal Bitch realized it was useless to fight Mimics with fire weapons, it required too much ammo to kill a single one and the weight made the battery of the suits last less. So she and the protagonist had a melee weapon, a blade the size of an airplane wing, which they used to do one hit K.O.s
The suits were real and Emily Blunt said on interviews that Tom Cruise, who is usually a huge force of positivity on set no matter what, was actually having a very shitty time during filming because of them and that’s when everyone felt validated in feeling like shit cause they were second guessing themselves at first lol
This movie is actually an adaptation of a Japanese light novel and manga series titled "All You Need is Kill." VIZ Media re-released the novel with the American title "Edge of Tomorrow" after this film's release.
Im fascinated by the idea that Cage still has the power through the end of the rest of his life. Say he ends up together with Rita, has some kids and grandkids, then one day he's on his deathbed as an old man.... "I love you all" and then boom, suddenly he's back on the chopper.🤣
Great movie, underrated. Surprised Stella hasn't seen it. Now please consider Cloud Atlas for the most underrated movie of the century, and a beautiful cinematic epic at that. Frobisher and Sixsmith's heartbreaking LGBTQ lovestory set in the early 1900s, together with Adam Ewing's even earlier voyage, and the futuristic tale of Somni-451 could all stand on their own as silver screen masterpieces. Yet when interconnected with eachother and the remaining stories they all work like nothing you've seen before. Amazing sc-fi romance drama thriller and The Wachowski's Magnus Opus (Yes, it's even better than The Matrix). Soooo underrated!
I like Stella's interpretation of the Omega reset way better than my own. I always thought it meant that the Omega wasn't the ultimate time-resetter. Like, just how the Omega would reset a day when an Alpha dies, somewhere out there (like on their home planet or something) was the next creature up who would reset time even further back if an Omega died. So, I always thought this was kind of a bitter-sweet ending.
To James' point about time loop action movies, there was one that I remember watching on Netflix from 2016 called Arq. It was a much smaller production & not nearly as good as this, but I thought it did the genre well, added a couple new smaller concepts to it. It was a movie I enjoyed enough to go back & watch multiple times.
@@jjrod2988 I mean... feel free to like it. I'm not going to yuck a yum (I enjoy Limitless, for example, despite knowing it is bad). To me, Tomorrow War is just... predictable. The entire plot is so predictable, and the only bits you can't predict are the bits that don't make any sense. It was really disappointing to me.
@@Arrynek01 I went in to it with little/low expectations so because of that, it probably did seem better than it was. Despite its predictability I just thought it was a fun action movie that didn't force me to think. I need those every now and again. Cheers.
I did love this film, but my favorite movie involving time shenanigans is "Predestination". Australian-made film from 2014, didn't get a lot of attention. It also stars Noah Taylor, which is a bonus. I strongly urge you guys to check it out.
32:34 Impossible. There's only so far he can go. Reason is the Alpha blood. The Mimic can see what he see Vice versa so the Mimics are chasing him specifically to ending his loop by keeping him trapped, drain his power. Or keep for a couple of days even if he loop, he'll be looping 24 hours after the war.
The German text is „VORSICHT GEFAHR“, which means „WARNING DANGER“, since you asked. Another time loop action movie would be „Boss Level“, which is also good, but probably not on the same level as this one. Since Stella doesn‘t seem to like scenes deep under water, the film „Underwater“ might be her kryptonite. Kudos to her for picking up so much details on the first viewing.
I think the Omega didn't die. My theory would be that because it can also reset time at death, what happened was it went back and decided to leave Earth because it was beat at its own game. So he goes back to the point where he got involved and the omega leaves earth.
I like it, but I think Cage reset the day without realizing it. The Omega died and he got just enough blood before he died to save Rita. Of course, just because this Omega died doesn't mean there aren't more of these things. No species evolves with this level of complexity but only has one individual.
@cmlemmus494 the thing about that is his blood was drained and it reset him further back than what he was going back to. So how would less blood result in a bigger jump back? The answer is that the Omega went back and then left and he happens to remember because of his prior exposure and proximity to the Omega when it jumped back.
Either that or the Omega wasn’t the final point in it’s nervous system. There’s another level out there that can reset to an earlier level. After all why would the pinnacle of their species be sent to a beachhead rather than being somewhere safe on their homeworld or floating in the darkness of space with a billion mimics surrounding it.
Spoiler warning: For people wondering about the ending - the blood of Omega is what makes Omega what it is because it exists outside of it's time. When Cage killed it, and got it's blood in contact with him, he became Omega himself and instinctively reset timeline the way he wanted. It is unclear if he can do that ever again given the fact he's got the power of Omega, but that doesn't matter, as that's where story ends.
Original concept from the script writer was stuck for for 10,000 years. The book the concept was based ont (this isn't a direct book movie) it was 160 days. The director says 42 years being stuck in the loop. Most praise goes to Cruise, but Blunt was absolutely fantastic as well. She has a great range of characters she can play.
One of my favorite movies. The music is stellar. The story, designs, props, etc. I watched the behind the scenes. AMAZING!!! Even the sunset was real... Projected on a huge round screen. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
BTW, this is base of a Japanese novel turn manga turn into this movie. The mimics in the manga is round and spikey. The exo-suit is like Samus's. And Vita die and there's no 48 hours Omega reset like in the end of this movie. In the manga, the story continues with the MC alone fighting like Vita would and the end. I'd say this is the only Anime/Manga adaptation that work. But nobody knows about it when it came out. I know because i stumble the manga years before this movie made and i was like: "hmm, this seems familiar?" The Japanese name is Keiji so the English name become Cage as the name of his armor suit.
37:50: I would guess at this point in the movie Cage has probably reset the day close to a thousand times, or at least several hundred. Which means he's spent *years* with Rita.
You have to put time in order. They go before the invasion starts on that last reset. He kills the Omega before he then dies covered in blood. So it's dead before he resets time. He is in the helicopter because he died before invasion starts this time, so saves everyone that would die. Only thing other than that is they are right and the Omega is outside of time, so it dying before he does means it won't reset. Only way movie works really.
I read somewhere that when the Omega tried to restart time when he died, what he did was transmit his death to the past while Cage, by absorbing the Omega's blood, traveled to the past before his first trip in time. so it was a one-time trip since the travel system no longer exists... by the way this movie is based on a Japanese novel and manga called "all you need is kill" 🎉
58:25 Tom Cruise's character absorbed the Omega's blood and is now the Omega, or at least that is how it looked to me. My guess is if the sequel ever happens it will be the aliens coming to try and take back the power of the Omega from him.
37:00 that is why groundhog day is genuinely creepy as hell. The guy uses his powers to bypass a womans consent. Thats the whole movie. Using time bending for a booty call
When I started this video, I honestly got this movie confused with the Tomorrow War with Chris Pratt. Up until Tom Cruise came on screen, I didn't realize it was a different movie. I watched both but I didn't realize how similar they were.
Great movie and reaction aside, I feel there is hope in humanity when I hear young people express so smartly and well-spoken, to the point; each may have different opinions and points of view, without walking all over each other. Great reaction. Cheers
This is one of my favorite movies and it pains me that it's so underrated! Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt were absolutely amazing and the chemistry was insane as well ❤ thank you so much for this reaction!!
One of the most underrated action movies in recent years,. in my view!! I thought it was fantastic, and so great to see Tom Cruise step into these self-effacing roles with game and a good sense of humor. So glad you guys are catching up on it.
There is a famous movie that started with happy news. It was either zombies or aliens based, but it started with a happy newscast and only one note towards the plot at the end before showing off characters and all.
This is one of my favorite sci fi movies ever and easily in my top 10 movies ever. What I especially like about this is that Tom Cruise's character doesnt immediately begin as the hardcore action hero but starts as a coward and slowly builds up to the position to be an actual hero.
1 flaw i find is the time would have reset at least one time without him dying as another alpha may have died . if another doesn't die then only it works
"I-I-I-I-I-I-I need to know now, know now, will you love me again?" Happy to see how many of you were commentating on Cruise's amazing performance, from coward to grizzled, dispassionate veteran.
Every time I see this I remember how Emily Blunt talked in interviews about how heavy those suits were (I think she said between 85 and 100 pounds) and when one interviewer said he had tried one on for just like a minute she was like "Did you cry?" bc apparent she did the first time she had to put it on xD I can't even imagine the amount of preparation and exercise they must have done to make this
He can’t go anywhere else but the beach because he’ll die anyway that was that scene of him going to the bar and dying on the bridge the Mimic invasion starts that day instead, it’s like the “game” is forcing him to play the main story and keeping to the map boundary.
Believe it or not, this is actually based on an anime called All You Need Is Kill. Additionally those mech suits are actually based on real powered exoskeletons in development.
Thanks for reaction guys! You definitely have to watch another Sci-Fi movie with Tom Cruise, it's called Oblivion. I think it's the best Sci-Fi movie ever! After this particular movie I've started to respect the role play of Tom Cruise and watched almost all movies with this actor :)
i do think that as an adaptation they only missed in one aspect, and it's Rita's captain that died in the backstory (i could nitpick the suits not being as high mobility and restricting them from having a cooler melee-based setup with a massive axe, but ykno) in the movie it's said that she watched him die over and over again until she got it right and he was.. still dead, while in the novel he survived every single time until she actually got it right, by which point she couldn't just reset to fix that; that and him actually inspiring a lot of what she does, but she doesn't show that in the movie as she is a lot colder here (in the novels she would stop and ease dying soldiers, which is what her captain did to her while she was dying in her loops) but it's just small nitpicks, it's a great movie otherwise and i am kinda glad it went the way it did
Would never call this masterpiece personally, but I admit it was an enjoyable scifi movie for what it is. A good surprise in that sense, easily recommendable to action and scifi fans. Tom Cruise is great as always here. Tom Cruise's best scifi film to date, is easily Minority Report btw.
Personally I would watch this all day, every day over ever seeing the Godfather again, but I respect your opinion for sure! Just fun to watch and pick up on new details every time, just like the plot.
To me what makes this movie so great is the fact that he starts the movie as a coward which is very rare that the hero starts out as a complete coward. That gives him an amazing character Arc and a lot of growth...
I've seen countless "save the world" films, but this movie sold the stakes like no other. It's like telling a video gamer they have to one-shot a final boss they've never even seen, and if they fail, they die. Oh, and so do billions of others, starting with the person they love most.
The first time loop film I ever watched was 2017's Happy Death Day so when I keep seeing other films with the 'reliving the same day' trope, I can't help but point out "Oh, it's like Happy Death Day!" despite released earlier than HDD 😂
Love this move, easily an all-time favorite of mine. If you guys are looking for another surprisingly solid sci-fi movie, Underwater from 2020 is pretty good and in my opinion criminally unknown. It's a pretty good sci-fi horror film set aboard a deep sea oil drilling rig.
What is your favorite Tom Cruise aand Emily Blunt film (independently)
I loved Emily Blunt in a Quiet Place and Mary Poppins Returns. The only Tom Cruise movie I enjoyed was War of the Worlds (I honestly haven't watched much with him).

I love Cage's change in expression as he gets more battle weary. The loop where he decides to ignore Rita is perfect.
Absolutely agree, this is my favorite part too.
I miss the time where big budget movies were made without sequel baits
Same. Movies just stood on their own

Also heard that it took a couple hours to put people into the suit on set. Until tom cruise challenged everyone into a race to put it on the fastest. Got it down to couple minutes.
@@KenSahaja That's amazing! 😂
Dude nailed it early on: I like to tell people that this is my favorite video-game movie 😆because it really does completely capture the experience of playing a video game over and over and over, memorizing every move, until you finally beat the game on your last life. Especially the really tough old-school video games with no saves: if you lose your last life, you have to start all over 😅 I kind of miss that era!
What I realized on rewatch is that the slow motion effect of Rita getting up from doing yoga is how Cage sees her the first time he lays eyes on her everytime. Just adds that much more heart to an already great movie with great performances that have a boatload of chemistry. The man had it bad from day one.
I mean that's headcanon but sure
Edge of tomorrow is a great sci fi movie. And it really is a great masterpiece.
You should also react to Oblivion. It's another Tom Cruise sci-fi movie I really enjoyed. There's not this much action or humor in it, but there's a lot of style and the same caliber of acting performance from Cruise himself. Also, the credits song is a masterpiece, one of my favourite songs of all time.
Hell yes, oblivion is a great film
Andrea Riseborough is the star of Oblivion.
What really interested me about this film is that it combines the novel it was based on (the Japanese book All You Need Is Kill) with the World War II operation it also served to commemorate (the D-Day landings). It was even released on the 70th anniversary of those landings. Verdun in the beginning was also a World War I reference, and Operation Downfall was the name of a failed Allied invasion of Japan during WWII.
Plus, can we appreciate that this film has basically become a metaphor for Tom Cruise's entire acting career? For his first 15 years, outside of the original Top Gun and Days of Thunder, he wasn't really that much of an action star. His bravery and dedication to his work has increased since he started the Mission Impossible series, just like his character here became better skilled as a fighter with each loop, to the point that he has done his own stunts for many years now, Top Gun: Maverick has become the best and most successful film of his career, and MI: Dead Reckoning Part 1 is already going so strong.
Awesome reaction you guys and love your thoughts on the actual film and enjoying the chemistry between Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Also big congrats on earning 199k subscribers and looking forward till you reach 200k subscribers.🎉🎉🎉
I’m also excited you will be reacting to _Tron_ next week as it’s without a doubt one of Disney’s most underappreciated live-action and Science Fiction films and hopefully once you finish reacting to _Tron_ and eventually _Tron: Legacy_ hopefully you guys will react to the following films: _Tomorrowland, John Carter, The Rocketeer, The Haunted Mansion (2003), Jungle Cruise, Holes, Oblivion, War of the Worlds (2005), Chappie, Independence Day_ The _Kingsman_ films, _Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Stardust, The Devil’s Backbone, Crimson Peak, Nightmare Alley, Cronos, Mimic, The Shape of Water, Van Helsing, Happy Death Day 1-2, The Mummy films, Star Wars,_ and _Indiana Jones_
I love what Stella was saying about the uniqueness of this role for Tom Cruise and the self-contained story within this movie. And I just love Emily Blunt! I totally agree with Stella’s perspective about the movie and what she enjoyed at the end. Great reaction y’all!👏🏼
Yeah Stella was really on point with this movie.
Just like Stella, I went into Edge of Tomorrow not really liking the Tom Cruise persona, and one of the coolest things EoT does is spend an entire movie earning exactly one shot of Tom Cruise being the Tom Cruise persona - the last shot of the movie, a split second of Cruise turning on the Tom Cruise high beams and it's 1000% earned.
I love the fact that Emily Blunt nearly took out Tom Cruise in a stunt in this movie. She was driving and he had to be the passenger in that scene and kept telling her to "brake!!" multiple times. She didn't listen (she wanted to show him that she could do it her way) and ended up slamming into a tree 😂😅.
I really enjoyed this movie! Can't wait for your reactions!! 😊
It's not a film starring Tom Cruise if there is not a accident during a stunt... Which is what worries me, i hope he passes the torch to stuntmen before luck runs out.
James you're right about Rita Vrataski's blade. It is from a helicopter. she started used it bc she constantly ran out of ammo during Verdun.
I know some people that initially refused to see this movie because they hate Tom Cruise. I asked them if they’d like to see him die over and over, and they eventually watched it. 😂
Can you believe that I was the only person in the theater on opening night?? It was an IMAX screening too.
I was like WTF? Where is everybody?! They've just missed a great movie!
Oh man, I really really wish I'd seen this in IMAX.
@@alexanderg1935 I was lucky enough to see it, awesome experience.
The end was a nice touch, where he not only reset the day, but because they did the attack so soon, it was still the day before the battle, so he was reset one day previous. So he never ruined his career. Either that, or it reset to when you last slept.
I like that those exosuits prevent a plot hole - he repeats every day, but with knowledge, not physical training, but it's not a problem, beacause he doesn't have to be strong or good with some combat technics.
I really enjoy this movie a lot when I first watched and all the times later that I re-watched, it still holds up really well. It is incredibly underrated action sci-fy and the Tom and Emily did a really good job in this
The author even went to the trouble of stating that the loop starts 24 hours to before he dies. The siege was in the morning a few hours before the invasion. So he got sent back to 24 earlier in the morning when he first landed in London for his meeting with the General. You all get the connection between Cage & Rita, Rita had the same connection with Henderson that Cage has with her thus the kiss she gives him at the end. Rita knows Cage is in love with her even if she doesn't feel the same way.
She can't feel the same way, she only knew him for two days. It is really well written but not just overly simplified and in your face.
This is one of my favorite sci-fi flicks of the modern era. I'm not a Cruise fan but I loved his character in this one, which surprised me.
I like hearing Stella's views on movies. She goes really in-depth on the subtext and implications of the plot
There's an interesting theory about this film. In 2012 Tom Cruise had a pretty public breakdown: divorce from Katie Holmes, didn't see his daughter for 4 months, sued a magazine for defamation, etc. In 2014 he was still a good actor, but not a popular one.
Several reviewers suggested that his multiple deaths early in the film don't only act as plot advancement, they are also catharsis for the viewer. By dying on screen multiple time before he gets back to form, the audience can forgive and move on.
Not sure if it was intentional or not, but it's an interesting theory.
Yes they wore the Suits! They were so heavy Emily Blunt was almost in tears after the first day saying she can't do it! But Tom gave her a classic Tom pep talk saying he wouldn't haven't chosen her otherwise, he knew she was a badass n had the stones to pull it off! Took her a two weeks to get physically used to moving with the weight of the suits. She's awesome, practically a National Treasure in Britain!❤
Edge Of Tomorrow is quite awesome indeed. Glad you all reacted to it! It is very entertaining.
I've watched this movie so many times. One of my favorite Sci-Fi flicks of all time.
PRACTICAL EFFECTS BEFORE CGI
That's my motto
There have been talks about a sequel over the last few yrs.
I think with it resetting at the end to before the invasion started is due to it being the mimics endgame, that they'd been herding humanity to this point, so they/it was concentrating on this exact point in time.
Rita says she watched Hendricks die hundreds of times, so it has to have been a minimum of 200 days she experienced in her time loop.
& for Gage, it has to have been at least the same amount of time or more, due to the montage of trying to get them off the beach, as well as teaching Rita the exact locations/timing of their movements, as teaching yourself something is hard enough, teaching someone else in less than a day, is insane.
This is literally one of my favorite movies of all time. Such a compelling story with a great use of redoing the day over and over again type story.
I like this movie, thanks for the reaction! But I love the book more. There's a lot of stuff different (including the place in which it all happens, which is Japan). But the main things that I was bummed they didn't take to the movie was that: 1)The suits had a "guidance" mode which allowed people with no experience to use them, but that restricted the movements and limited the force at around a quarter (protecting them from doing extremely powerful movements that endangered the body), this thing was deactivated by The Full Metal Bitch and the protagonist because 2) The Full Metal Bitch realized it was useless to fight Mimics with fire weapons, it required too much ammo to kill a single one and the weight made the battery of the suits last less. So she and the protagonist had a melee weapon, a blade the size of an airplane wing, which they used to do one hit K.O.s
I went on one of my first few dates with my husband to see this movie and it's still as good today as it was in 2014 ❤
The song choice for the ending is pure perfection.
The suits were real and Emily Blunt said on interviews that Tom Cruise, who is usually a huge force of positivity on set no matter what, was actually having a very shitty time during filming because of them and that’s when everyone felt validated in feeling like shit cause they were second guessing themselves at first lol
This movie is actually an adaptation of a Japanese light novel and manga series titled "All You Need is Kill." VIZ Media re-released the novel with the American title "Edge of Tomorrow" after this film's release.
Im fascinated by the idea that Cage still has the power through the end of the rest of his life. Say he ends up together with Rita, has some kids and grandkids, then one day he's on his deathbed as an old man.... "I love you all" and then boom, suddenly he's back on the chopper.🤣
Hahaha well he can always kill himself by bleeding out if he ever wants to go
Great movie, underrated. Surprised Stella hasn't seen it. Now please consider Cloud Atlas for the most underrated movie of the century, and a beautiful cinematic epic at that. Frobisher and Sixsmith's heartbreaking LGBTQ lovestory set in the early 1900s, together with Adam Ewing's even earlier voyage, and the futuristic tale of Somni-451 could all stand on their own as silver screen masterpieces. Yet when interconnected with eachother and the remaining stories they all work like nothing you've seen before. Amazing sc-fi romance drama thriller and The Wachowski's Magnus Opus (Yes, it's even better than The Matrix). Soooo underrated!
They’re currently putting together a sequel for this movie. I’m intrigued to see what they will do in it.
Destroy it. The manga doesn't lend itself to a sequel
I like Stella's interpretation of the Omega reset way better than my own. I always thought it meant that the Omega wasn't the ultimate time-resetter. Like, just how the Omega would reset a day when an Alpha dies, somewhere out there (like on their home planet or something) was the next creature up who would reset time even further back if an Omega died. So, I always thought this was kind of a bitter-sweet ending.
Oblivion is another good apocalypse sci-fi type Tom Cruise movie
To James' point about time loop action movies, there was one that I remember watching on Netflix from 2016 called Arq. It was a much smaller production & not nearly as good as this, but I thought it did the genre well, added a couple new smaller concepts to it. It was a movie I enjoyed enough to go back & watch multiple times.
Battle L.A. should be on the list for you guys!
If you guys really liked this you should add The Tomorrow War to your watch list. Very underrated movie.
Underrated for a reason. Tomorrow War is a C-grade version of this one.
@@Arrynek01nah. It’s great
@@Arrynek01 one person's opinion
@@jjrod2988 I mean... feel free to like it. I'm not going to yuck a yum (I enjoy Limitless, for example, despite knowing it is bad).
To me, Tomorrow War is just... predictable. The entire plot is so predictable, and the only bits you can't predict are the bits that don't make any sense.
It was really disappointing to me.
@@Arrynek01 I went in to it with little/low expectations so because of that, it probably did seem better than it was. Despite its predictability I just thought it was a fun action movie that didn't force me to think. I need those every now and again. Cheers.
I did love this film, but my favorite movie involving time shenanigans is "Predestination". Australian-made film from 2014, didn't get a lot of attention. It also stars Noah Taylor, which is a bonus. I strongly urge you guys to check it out.
YYYEEESSSS!!!🎉🎉🎉
Of all the time travel movies i have watched......that messed one messed me up the most. Such a great movie❤
The mimics remind me of the Sentinels from The Matrix, especially once you start adding humans in exosuits fighting them.
Tom Cruise put out another Sci Fi hidden gem right before this film … OBLIVION
32:34 Impossible. There's only so far he can go. Reason is the Alpha blood. The Mimic can see what he see Vice versa so the Mimics are chasing him specifically to ending his loop by keeping him trapped, drain his power. Or keep for a couple of days even if he loop, he'll be looping 24 hours after the war.
The German text is „VORSICHT GEFAHR“, which means „WARNING DANGER“, since you asked.
Another time loop action movie would be „Boss Level“, which is also good, but probably not on the same level as this one.
Since Stella doesn‘t seem to like scenes deep under water, the film „Underwater“ might be her kryptonite.
Kudos to her for picking up so much details on the first viewing.
I think the Omega didn't die. My theory would be that because it can also reset time at death, what happened was it went back and decided to leave Earth because it was beat at its own game.
So he goes back to the point where he got involved and the omega leaves earth.
That’s actually really cool
I like it, but I think Cage reset the day without realizing it. The Omega died and he got just enough blood before he died to save Rita. Of course, just because this Omega died doesn't mean there aren't more of these things. No species evolves with this level of complexity but only has one individual.
@cmlemmus494 the thing about that is his blood was drained and it reset him further back than what he was going back to. So how would less blood result in a bigger jump back? The answer is that the Omega went back and then left and he happens to remember because of his prior exposure and proximity to the Omega when it jumped back.
@@NobleSon32The reason why he resets more the previous day is because they started the attack sooner.
Either that or the Omega wasn’t the final point in it’s nervous system. There’s another level out there that can reset to an earlier level. After all why would the pinnacle of their species be sent to a beachhead rather than being somewhere safe on their homeworld or floating in the darkness of space with a billion mimics surrounding it.
Spoiler warning:
For people wondering about the ending - the blood of Omega is what makes Omega what it is because it exists outside of it's time. When Cage killed it, and got it's blood in contact with him, he became Omega himself and instinctively reset timeline the way he wanted. It is unclear if he can do that ever again given the fact he's got the power of Omega, but that doesn't matter, as that's where story ends.
Original concept from the script writer was stuck for for 10,000 years. The book the concept was based ont (this isn't a direct book movie) it was 160 days. The director says 42 years being stuck in the loop.
Most praise goes to Cruise, but Blunt was absolutely fantastic as well. She has a great range of characters she can play.
One of my favorite movies. The music is stellar. The story, designs, props, etc. I watched the behind the scenes. AMAZING!!! Even the sunset was real... Projected on a huge round screen. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
BTW, this is base of a Japanese novel turn manga turn into this movie. The mimics in the manga is round and spikey. The exo-suit is like Samus's. And Vita die and there's no 48 hours Omega reset like in the end of this movie. In the manga, the story continues with the MC alone fighting like Vita would and the end.
I'd say this is the only Anime/Manga adaptation that work. But nobody knows about it when it came out. I know because i stumble the manga years before this movie made and i was like: "hmm, this seems familiar?"
The Japanese name is Keiji so the English name become Cage as the name of his armor suit.
37:50: I would guess at this point in the movie Cage has probably reset the day close to a thousand times, or at least several hundred. Which means he's spent *years* with Rita.
What a nice suprise! Haven't seen this movie for ages, but it's really good for what it is
You have to put time in order. They go before the invasion starts on that last reset. He kills the Omega before he then dies covered in blood. So it's dead before he resets time. He is in the helicopter because he died before invasion starts this time, so saves everyone that would die. Only thing other than that is they are right and the Omega is outside of time, so it dying before he does means it won't reset. Only way movie works really.
I read somewhere that when the Omega tried to restart time when he died, what he did was transmit his death to the past while Cage, by absorbing the Omega's blood, traveled to the past before his first trip in time. so it was a one-time trip since the travel system no longer exists... by the way this movie is based on a Japanese novel and manga called "all you need is kill" 🎉
The first time I watch this movies was because I randomly saw it on tv. And I was quite surprised by how much I like it
Stella is so good at analysing things apart. All of four of you, AWESOME. Keep going!
58:25 Tom Cruise's character absorbed the Omega's blood and is now the Omega, or at least that is how it looked to me. My guess is if the sequel ever happens it will be the aliens coming to try and take back the power of the Omega from him.
37:00 that is why groundhog day is genuinely creepy as hell. The guy uses his powers to bypass a womans consent. Thats the whole movie. Using time bending for a booty call
This one I personally can't wait to see you guys react to!
When I started this video, I honestly got this movie confused with the Tomorrow War with Chris Pratt. Up until Tom Cruise came on screen, I didn't realize it was a different movie. I watched both but I didn't realize how similar they were.
Great movie and reaction aside, I feel there is hope in humanity when I hear young people express so smartly and well-spoken, to the point; each may have different opinions and points of view, without walking all over each other.
Great reaction.
Cheers
This is one of my favorite movies and it pains me that it's so underrated! Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt were absolutely amazing and the chemistry was insane as well ❤ thank you so much for this reaction!!
One of the most underrated action movies in recent years,. in my view!! I thought it was fantastic, and so great to see Tom Cruise step into these self-effacing roles with game and a good sense of humor. So glad you guys are catching up on it.
Totally agree with Stella, plus it's so strange that it wasn't a bigger hit, considering how enjoyable it was and the two main stars.
There is a famous movie that started with happy news. It was either zombies or aliens based, but it started with a happy newscast and only one note towards the plot at the end before showing off characters and all.
Some great mob movie suggestions for you guys to all watch together: "Donnie Brasco", "Casino", "Goodfellas".
One of my favorite Tom Cruise's movies. But I like Oblivion more, you should watch it. Love that movie. Good reaction !!
This is one of my favorite sci fi movies ever and easily in my top 10 movies ever. What I especially like about this is that Tom Cruise's character doesnt immediately begin as the hardcore action hero but starts as a coward and slowly builds up to the position to be an actual hero.
I don't have words for how much I love this movie!!
1 flaw i find is the time would have reset at least one time without him dying as another alpha may have died . if another doesn't die then only it works
This movie was soo damn good, I loved it when it came out, I love it now. It's gonna be considered a sci-fi classic in a few years for sure.
it was fun to see tom cruise as a coward, wasn't it? and even more fun to see him become a super soldier and hero.
"I-I-I-I-I-I-I need to know now, know now, will you love me again?"
Happy to see how many of you were commentating on Cruise's amazing performance, from coward to grizzled, dispassionate veteran.
Every time I see this I remember how Emily Blunt talked in interviews about how heavy those suits were (I think she said between 85 and 100 pounds) and when one interviewer said he had tried one on for just like a minute she was like "Did you cry?" bc apparent she did the first time she had to put it on xD I can't even imagine the amount of preparation and exercise they must have done to make this
Evil groot is a great description of the mimics. They tried very hard to make them as alien as possible to make them scarier.
He can’t go anywhere else but the beach because he’ll die anyway that was that scene of him going to the bar and dying on the bridge the Mimic invasion starts that day instead, it’s like the “game” is forcing him to play the main story and keeping to the map boundary.
Believe it or not, this is actually based on an anime called All You Need Is Kill. Additionally those mech suits are actually based on real powered exoskeletons in development.
One of my all time favorite movies. Hyped to see you guys react!
I remember watching this one with my dad, like, 6 or 7 years ago. It was so good
You guys are amazing and honest .. I like it!
This easily my fav Tom Cruise movie
Thanks for reaction guys! You definitely have to watch another Sci-Fi movie with Tom Cruise, it's called Oblivion. I think it's the best Sci-Fi movie ever! After this particular movie I've started to respect the role play of Tom Cruise and watched almost all movies with this actor :)
YES, SUCH AN AWESOME TIME TRAVEL MOVIE! It's Like Groundhog Day Meets ALIEN.
Emily blunt plays the hot, badass soldier role very well in this movie.💅🏽
i do think that as an adaptation they only missed in one aspect, and it's Rita's captain that died in the backstory (i could nitpick the suits not being as high mobility and restricting them from having a cooler melee-based setup with a massive axe, but ykno)
in the movie it's said that she watched him die over and over again until she got it right and he was.. still dead, while in the novel he survived every single time until she actually got it right, by which point she couldn't just reset to fix that; that and him actually inspiring a lot of what she does, but she doesn't show that in the movie as she is a lot colder here (in the novels she would stop and ease dying soldiers, which is what her captain did to her while she was dying in her loops)
but it's just small nitpicks, it's a great movie otherwise and i am kinda glad it went the way it did
Would never call this masterpiece personally, but I admit it was an enjoyable scifi movie for what it is.
A good surprise in that sense, easily recommendable to action and scifi fans. Tom Cruise is great as always here.
Tom Cruise's best scifi film to date, is easily Minority Report btw.
Personally I would watch this all day, every day over ever seeing the Godfather again, but I respect your opinion for sure! Just fun to watch and pick up on new details every time, just like the plot.
To me what makes this movie so great is the fact that he starts the movie as a coward which is very rare that the hero starts out as a complete coward. That gives him an amazing character Arc and a lot of growth...
I've seen countless "save the world" films, but this movie sold the stakes like no other. It's like telling a video gamer they have to one-shot a final boss they've never even seen, and if they fail, they die. Oh, and so do billions of others, starting with the person they love most.
The first time loop film I ever watched was 2017's Happy Death Day so when I keep seeing other films with the 'reliving the same day' trope, I can't help but point out "Oh, it's like Happy Death Day!" despite released earlier than HDD 😂
Even at the end of the world, Tom Cruise can find a way to ride a cool motorcyle
the main battle that is repeated throughout the movie is exactly like Normundy beaches on D DAY. ( The opening scene in Saving Private Ryan)
21:29 "Come find me when you wake up", this line is famous, you know what I mean. 😂
Love this move, easily an all-time favorite of mine. If you guys are looking for another surprisingly solid sci-fi movie, Underwater from 2020 is pretty good and in my opinion criminally unknown. It's a pretty good sci-fi horror film set aboard a deep sea oil drilling rig.
