Edge of Tomorrow | First Time Watching! | Movie REACTION!

[@swordmonkey6635]

Live. Die. Repeat. This movie had it all: a great story, great effects, great casting, and great acting.

[@simonr23]

you misspelled "Edge of Tomorrow"

[@vishnunair7623]

The Alien design is so freaking good.

[@terryv2006]

This movie really was a breath of fresh air. Groundhog Day meets Terminator. Tom Cruises does an amazing job of showing the growth of character just with his face.

[@Crazy_Diamond_75]

"So you're an American?" "No, sir... I'm from Kentucky." I have laughed at that line every single time I've seen this movie or watched a reaction to it.

[@OathofLight]

My favorite line in the movie.

[@Hiraghm]

It's a Southern thing, where they still remember that we are a union of sovereign republics.

[@Crazy_Diamond_75]

@@Hiraghm Haha yeah, I am aware of this. And to be clear, I'm not laughing because I think he's wrong or being silly, but more that the line is given with such _earnestness,_ and it's a tad unexpected when they're currently in the UK. It's just a really great moment that says so much about his character in 3 words.

[@chadbennett7873]

Definitely not an American.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

When an Alpha dies, the Omega resets 24 hours before its death and it becomes the permanent save point like in a video game (the whole movie). Tom Cruise's character loses the ability and they go kill the Omega the night before they storm the beach, so that's why he was in the helicopter in the end. The Omega died the night before and the new and final save spot is 24 hours before that, aka in the helicopter just coming into town. I really recommend War of the Worlds (2005) and Minority Report (2002) which are both directed by Steven Spielberg and both star Tom Cruise. You would love them a lot and yes, they are both sci-fy action with some other elements.

[@BenjWarrant]

Good effort, that's the best explanation I've seen. But I'm not sure it's right. But at one point, the General says "When you left this office today I never imagined you'd be back." So, by this time, Cage has woken up on the kit bags, found Rita, had the meeting with the nerd, and driven to central London from Heathrow - all on the same day as he arrived in the helicopter. So when he's inadvertently resetting the time frame, it's to some point in the *middle of that day* when he wakes up on the kitbags. It must be all to do with when he regains consciousness - that's the reset point. Does he sleep before they get on the drop ship for the morning invasion? That's never made clear (or at least I don't remember). But I presume not, otherwise he'd reset to the beginning of the day. So why, when he dies at the end, does it reset to the previous time he regained consciousness, after sleeping in the helo? Maybe he *did* sleep between 'kit-bags' and 'drop ship', and he normally resets to the penultimate time he regained consciousness; on the final occasion he doesn't sleep because they go straight to hijacking the drop-ship and attacking the Omega, so that time he resets to the time-before-last... which is... in the helicopter?

[@Commander-vf1lk]

@@BenjWarrant I didn’t realized it but yeah you’re right. Well… in a sense that using a tazer wouldn’t exactly knock you out 24hrs. So basically its 1 whole day until the sgt. wakes them (J-squad) up on the next day which is the invasion. So they killed the Omega I think very early in morning that’s why it’s still night. Idk what time though but maybe 4 or 5 in morning maybe. Idk, time traveling or whatever can be really confusing

[@BigGator5]

"Bloody hell, it's the Full Metal Bitch!" Fun Fact: The soldier that says this and is punched by Emily Blunt, is her real-life younger brother. Historical Allegory Fact: The film was released in the U.S. on June 6, 2014, the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion during World War II. The film shares many similarities to the attack on Normandy Beach. Uniquely, it premiered in two sequential events, designed to mirror the D-Day landings within the exact timeline of the historic event. Lost In Adaptation Fact: In the movie, Rita (Emily Blunt) appreciates having coffee at the farmhouse. This is a nod to her character in the book, who is a coffee lover and had been introduced to coffee at an early age by her coffee addict father. In the world of the book, where coffee growing has virtually ceased because of the Mimic invasion and people drink artificial substitutes, Rita still has some supplies of exotic real coffee beans and her only personal possession is a coffee grinder.

[@bradleymay5350]

​@@robertbretschneider765yeah, I've seen multiple comments use the word 'novel' or 'book'. Which i found confusing, because all i was aware was the manga this was based on: "All you need is kill". Fantastic manga, by the way. Self contained, two volume series. And while illustrated works like comics or manga are technically books (and i suppose novels if you stretch the meaning), whenever someone refers to a 'book' i typically visualize something with predominantly written text. Regardless, it's a minor quibble and i appreciate people trying to get more eyes on the original work. It's definitely worth checking out.

You have to pay attention, but every time he drops on the beach is an entirely new shot, you can see his helmet / visor break a different way each time, for example. Such a great film!

As someone approaching his 60th birthday, I can say happily that you two are an absolutely adoptable couple. Stay happy. Great reaction, GREAT film. A really underrated gem in many ways. But I have never met someone who has watched it that didn't absolutely love it. Tom Cruise is fantastic as always. There are few that can match his action chops. Keep diving into his filmography, there are so many wonderful films he's done. An absolute Hollywood legend.

[@paulcollinsyoga]

sorry, that should have been "an adorable couple". Darn autocorrect.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

One of the best sci-fi action movies of the 2010's, as simple as that. The fact that it bombed has always stunned me. And yes, as you pointed out, sensational CGIs. It was done ten years ago, but a remake was made today, we wouldn't see any improvement in that regard.

[@Worrell057]

I guess the studio just didn't spend the money to promote it enough. Don't think I ever saw a commercial on TV with the movie. Shame, because I would have loved it in the theater.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

@@Worrell057 Oh, I did watch it in the theater, two times, and I confirm it was awesome. :)

[@francisco5434]

There are a lot of things that can bomb an otherwise great movie. John Carpenter’s “The Thing” came out just after E.T. and E.T. became the darling of the day. People didn’t like Carpenter’s ultra realistic gore, deformation, lack of women, supposed animal cruelty, and lack of a happy Hollywood ending, but today, it is a cult classic and lots of people do reaction videos to it. I haven’t seen any E.T. reaction videos yet.

[@GerryDavid-f1f]

Always difficult to know for sure. They changed the Title from Edge of Tomorrow to Live Die Repeat for the release on DVD which sold like hot cakes so maybe that was a factor, but also Tom and Emily did a promotion in 3 cities in 3 days, maybe they were putting most of there eggs in that basket.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

@@francisco5434 You haven't seen any E.T. reaction videos yet...? =__= Man, bad faith is bad.

[@UberNoodle]

The movie's based on a Japanese light novel called "All You Need Is Kill"*, by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. And there's a pretty good English translation of it. There's also a full graphic novel, i.e. manga, adaptation of it as well that's pretty awesome. It was done by the creator of Death Note. The story is kind of the same as in the movie, but there's some significant differences. You mentioned how it's similar to a video game in its setup, and that feeling is certainly from the original source material. It's definitely worth reading if you're a fan of the film. *Also people make fun of the Japanese title as being bad English, but it's not, really. It's a play on "All you need is love", and it's shortening of "All you need (to do) is kill". Both of those suit the story very well.

[@Catand_AC]

5:25 "He's gonna die" Yes, two or three thousand times ...

[@michaeljacyna1973]

I have to imagine the name "Rita" is a small nod to Groundhog Day. Along with "Nance" (Nancy? Nancy Taylor?!)

[@3DJapan]

Interestingly her name is Rita in the book too while the main character is Keiji. Kinda like Cage.

[@francisco5434]

One thing no one comments on is that Cage sees the vision of the dam and then later makes it there. In both cases you see writing on the wall as he approaches the pit. The German phrase translates to “Be Careful, Danger.” It’s foreshadowing that’s hidden in plain sight.

[@chadbennett7873]

"Groundhog Day" with aliens and a purpose. Tom may be a total nutjob, but it's hard to deny he's one incredible action movie star.

[@lordhelmchen3154]

The thing that is easy to forget is how much damn sheer force of will the protagonist has. It's not like a video game where you walk 1 minute back to the boss room, then fight, die, restart again. He is living through a whole day each time, listening to and experiencing the same stuff every time. No skippable cutscenes. He has to eat, sleep, make conversation, then watch hundreds of people die in seconds, then later watch the person he fell in love with die basically in his arms. Every damn time. And from what the movie seems to imply, I would guess he had a dozen tries before even getting Rita to tell him to find her. (Experiencing it once is probably not always enough for him to memorize it with everything else going on, so we can assume he failed to things he saw before multiple times.) Then multiple hundreds of tries getting off the beach with her. Then again dozens to hundreds of tries getting to the dam in the Alps. Then dozens of tries again to get the general to give him the device and trying to escape. Meaning this man probably lived at least a full year of just this one day, perhaps even multiple years. I think many people would have just given up and gone insane halfway through or get a blood transfusion just to end it, even if it means the end of humanity. But that guy did not give up at all.

[@jackson857]

One of the best movies that deserved a sequel but never got one.

[@Honkeydoodle]

I think it's a grateful role for someone like Tom Cruise, where on the one hand he actually plays the opposite of what he usually does and can perform more through acting, but on the other hand he can still play what he does best.

29:49 There is a youtube video going over how many resets Cage has gone through and by tallying up all the "extra knowledge" he shows each time we see him, the final count was well over 400. However the truth is we will never know and Cage may have lived this day a thousand times.

[@Alvin-1138]

I think people underestimate how many times? In the graphic novel it was many thousands? There is a trailer where Tom's voice-over says,in the helicopter shed: "For me it's been an eternity." E.g. the eyes-closed fight. Every single punch, dodge is one reset.

[@bmw128racer]

One of the best movies of the last 20 years easy. Great reaction.

[@BattleAngelFan99]

"How did they film this? It doesn't look like CG, it looks real." There's good cgi and bad cgi. This movie has good cgi. Unfortunately cgi has gotten a bad name because of so many movies that don't bother making it look good. I've always seen through that. Jurassic Park had very good cgi, for 1993, and it continues to impress today, because the right tools were used and they were used well. 27:47 It didn't occur to me until watching your reaction, after I've seen this movie a lot of times, but maybe he cleared out that entire beach himself so he might have enough time to get to the omega before she dies? On second thought, I'm probably wrong. It seems like it would have shown him wiping out the mimics on the beach if that's what he did. Action scifi recommendation: ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL (2019) Trust me on this one. James Cameron had a very big hand in the making of it and it really is good, on a level close to Edge of Tomorrow. I'm not kidding, yet I'm aware of how it went right under most people's radar. Many of your viewers will be familiar with it and will back me up on this one. It's very scifi, very action, and full of surprises. You'll love it. In fact, even though Alita Battle Angel's story doesn't resemble that of Edge of Tomorrow, the movies have a lot in common. Both were great movies, but didn't do as well as they deserved to in theaters for various unfortunate reasons. Both made extensive use of very good cgi. Both have lots of great well-known actors. Both are very high action. Both have intriguing plots that twist and turn unpredictably to surprise you in the end. Both have likable bad-ass characters. Both make clever use of humor to break up the seriousness without making it feel like a comedy. Good writing, music, choreography, cinematography, etc.. Oh yeah, and both have a main character referred to as an "angel".

[@andreww1225]

“Hell or High Water” and “Sicario” are great movies

[@francisco5434]

The story telling is classic Campbell’s Hero’s Journey. There are multiple successes followed by failures, each ramping up the stakes. He meets a mentor who helps prepare him. There is great character development arc as his skills and confidence increases. Then, the third act where a point-of-no-return is reached and the stakes become all or nothing for the final battle. The book ends differently but the storytelling in both is superb. Technically, I believe this is a man vs animal story with an anti-hero protagonist.

[@rayvanhorn1534]

I think this is one of the best sci-fi films of the last 25 years with an excellent cast & engaging storytelling. No doubt the special & practical effects are fantastic but the script is what really makes it superb. Cannot be positive of course, but I think Cage relived that day for years…how that would just wear you down psychologically, especially having feelings for Rita….it would be a nightmare. (If y’all haven’t seen “Oblivion” I highly suggest it, another excellent sci-fi). [edit: been thinking this for awhile, have you thought about watching any classic sci-fi? Hope so, because I have an amazing film…”Metropolis”. Please consider]

[@hellomark1]

Yesss I love this movie! Favourite line is "Are you an American?" "No sir I am from Kentucky!" RIP Bill Paxton. Also they don't really shine a light on it here so much, but in the comic, the part where he easily fights the guy with his eyes closed, it's not because he's had that fight before. It's because he's become SO GOOD at fighting, especially against the mimics, this is child's play for him.

[@hellomark1]

Also yes this movie is 100% action and 100% sci-fi, in one of the best ways! Also someone's probably said this, but the original comic author came up with it while playing video games and wondering what it would be like to do this in real life.

Which I always felt was interesting that's who they use in the movie. The story goes that there was an actual J company that was obliterated so they retired that designation. The real life reason is not as dramatic. I and J are similar when written and can be interchanged so they chose to use I instead.

Another vote here for "Oblivion". Also, in the Tom Cruise catalog, arguably the most "Tom Cruise" Tom Cruise movie ever made is "Jack Reacher". Fans of the novels hated it because Cruise's stature is far short (get it?) of the way he's described in the books (Reacher is played by Alan Ritchson in the Amazon series). But it's a solid Cruise action/detective flick. It doesn't spoil the Amazon show, which is worth a look but I'd do the movie first.

I never get TOO excited about a Tom Cruise film unless it's sci-fi, all of those he's done are really good. The year before, 2013, he did one called 'Oblivion'. Then there's the two he did with Spielberg, 'Minority Report' and 'War of the Worlds'. Another mind bender from 2001 is 'Vanilla Sky'.

I like that if you like Tom Cruise, you'll love this movie, and if you HATE Tom Cruise, you'll still like this movie because he dies so much :)

I don't know if you two realize this but Rita Vrataski's sword is a blade off of a crashed helicopter.

This movie is the extreme action version of a movie called Groundhog Day.

This was a great movie.

This is a great movie. Just imagine how heartbreaking it would be to get to know some person so well over the course of weeks or months or whatever- growing closer ever day and learning all these personal things and they just forget every day that they know you. I'd also suggest checking out District 9 and Elysium. The both have that kind of gritty, real life feel to them. Oh, and Oblivion, also starring Tom Cruise.

Great reaction. Thanks. Let me suggest two underrated movies R.I.P.D. and Tomorrowland.

Will Smith put a film together that's an action/scifi with his son Jaden Smith as the lead and Will in a supporting role. Will even HIRED M Night Shyamalan to direct, which is rare for him to direct other people's films. I think it's excellently made. It's called "After Earth"; really worth a reaction. Two really good absorbing Tom Cruise scifi films: -"Minority Report" (2002) -"Oblivion" (2013)

Great reaction! Big Love is an HBO series starring Bill Paxton, it's a lot of fun, and he's great in it. Even if you don't react to it for your channel, it's worth watching. Risky Business (1983) Is a fantastic, smart, dark coming of age movie that stars Tom Cruise and made him a star, three years before Top Gun made him a super star. And for some reason almost no one reacts to it. Under the Skin (2013) Is a movie starring Scarlett Johansson. It's easily one of the weirdest and most viscerally disturbing sci-fi movies ever made. It's also a movie no one ever reacts to.

Love your genuine reactions.
