I actually loved the farmhouse part, it made me so angry. The fate of humanity rests on his shoulders, but all of that is just going to have to wait while he tries to get laid. What a piece of shit this guy is.

That is a really great take on it!
I hate the man, but like the actor.
Many of his movies are actually really well made, even though it's mostly popcorn movies, but that's fine
He is a huge draw so his movies will all be well funded and produced. One thing Scientologist do very well is make billions.
I love Mission Impossible Fallout after watching it in cinema, then it occurred to me that Cruise is a Scientology and I just paid money to give it to them. Since then I just torrent his movies.

It's a great movie with a terrible name and bad marketing. Definitely holds up
The book's english title was All you need is kill .
Live Die Repeat was the name the Director wanted to use for the movie.
I don't know why the naming is so... bad
All you need is kill, is getting an anime adaptation.
Which is just going to further confuse people who didn't realize they have already watched Edge of Tomorrow and know the whole story, probably.
There is a lot different for the story in the movie version.
The ending is very different for one.
They made a much happier ending in the movie
Plus, watching a new movie with basically the same story go over all the plot points and give you a sense of deja vu will really add to the experience.

Also the end credits has a Take That song that doesn’t even vaguely fit the tone of the movie, because cross-promotion synergy I guess?
Edge of Tomorrow
Cum for Today
This movie was definitely one of those 'wtf this has no right being this good' type movies. I actually enjoyed the hell out of it. Now I feel like I need to go watch it again. Thanks for reminding me that it exists!
Yeah, I have to admit when I watched it when it was released I didn’t enjoy it that much but on rewatch I have changed my mind.
I remember being surprised by how good this movie was. I expected it to be some completely generic schlockbuster, but it turned out to have an interesting concept, with fewer tropes than it could have had. I remember liking Tom Cruise's character, too. I thought he was going to be some tough guy G. I. Joetagonist, but he was actually kinda funny and relatable.
I appreciated that at the height of the Thank you For your Service propaganda in the US, Cruise played a character that was honest about wanting to avoid combat.
What made it a better Tom Cruise movie was that he wasn't Tom Cruise right away.
In his movies he is always the best soldier and never makes a mistake, in this he started off unlikable and had to become the best, one mistake at a time.
Agree. It bears all the usual blockbuster adornments of what usually turns out to be a good guys win linear snooze fest and yet defies the expectation. I prefer Cruise in atypical roles, e.g. Tropic Thunder.

I don't like tom cruise either but watching him get his ass kicked every single time he got out of bed was worth the watch
That is a movie. I like a community with integrity. You're doing good work /c/movies. Keep it up.
Thanks man, I am just doing my part to keep folks engaged.

Dammit I thought they had announced the 2nd movie
Blunt said this movie left her in tears and pain from all the suit work.
But
She would be up for a sequel if it worked. Only trick is convincing John to do it.
I love time loops and I loved this movie.
Groundhog Day with guns and aliens.
Don't like Cruise either, but I'm a sucker for any Groundhog Day temporal loop films, so I really enjoyed this one.
If you haven't seen Palm Springs with Andy Samberg, it's really good. Another Groundhog Day kinda movie
Read the original comment and was gonna suggest Palm Springs. Glad someone beat me to it
I have, and I enjoyed it!

This is a fantastic film and even my wife who was not a Cruise fan really enjoyed it too. It looks like we're getting very close to a sequel as well.

The best action movie of the 21st century so far, IMO.
Oo that is a bridge too far for me. I am going to have to think on that statement.

I just watched it for the first time after finding this post. Thanks for the recommendation.
The manga is a better story but the monster design in the film was really good
