[@maxducoudray]

I saw this in the theater without knowing anything about it. It's so good. For me, this is one of the most underrated movies of the last decade.

[@p8ntbawlr210]

I was part of that crowd that didnt watch it in theaters cuz it wasn't getting enough traction on its release. And I didnt want to "waste" my time. One of the biggest movie watching regrets to date. If I fell in love with this movie renting it on KZbin. I would love to see this movie for the first time in a theater. Jealous of you

[@albertaguy4817]

To be honest... at this point, if Tom is the lead in a movie we should just go watch it. His list of movies cant all be "the greatest" but I can't think of a movie that was a true stinker from him.

[@JohnSmith-kf8mv]

Going in blind and being blown away - nice. I did that with the tv show Banshee which I thought was about a crazy lady screaming a lot.

[@jimtatro6550]

I always described this movie as Starship Troopers meets Groundhog Day. This movie rocks! R.I.P. Bill Paxton.

[@danh8804]

Emily Blunt makes the semi-romantic tension of this story work. It's implicitly challenging because her character only ever knows Cage for a day or so at a time, while he is becoming progressively more and more familiar with her. That's what I think she nails in that "parting" scene, is she's been there with Hendricks so she "gets it", and knows that Cage cares for her already, so that "I wish I could have gotten to know you better" really is about as far as she can really come but she does want to come that far

[@ryanakers1372]

Also, the kiss was improvised by Emily and is such a great choice in that moment.

[@stt5v2002]

Yes, this is an understated concept in the film. He has spent months (years?) with her under the most intense circumstances of his life. But she has only spent hours with him. It’s a surprisingly deep idea.

[@SnaFubar_24]

You nailed that description of the premise perfectly! It is so compelling this happens to be the only movie I own.

[@SSJwalker]

youre spot on

[@Alvan81]

​@stt5v2002 In one of the trailers, When they're at the helicopter house, he says, _"For me, it's been an eternity"._ He's been through many thousands of replays. (The heliicpter piloting and closed-eyes fight scene alone) would require hundreds of repeats.

[@josefgordon7712]

Can't believe it is almost 10 years old. Such a fun and well done film.

[@tbmike23]

I was convinced to go see this because a friend said: you get to watch Tom Cruise get killed over and over again. This, and Tropic Thunder, is where I started liking Tom Cruise in movies again, after he went slightly crazy in the 2000s. Oblivion is one of my favorite movies, now, not so much for the movie, but the environment and atmosphere.

[@carsonmatthews7705]

He did go crazy in the 2000s lmao, but you can’t deny his great performances in Minority Report, The Last Samurai, Collateral, and War of the Worlds

[@M1cha3lP]

@@carsonmatthews7705 Not so much WotW but definitely the other ones. The Last Samurai is amazing. I enjoy the M:I series as well. His stunt work is phenomenal, even if acting is just 'fine' in those.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

It took me a while too. Hated his acting for the longest time. Knight and Day is also another that I like. I think that's more up his alley, where he doesn't try to overdramatize a character.

[@gordonmcneil0011]

If you're in the mood for more Tom Cruise and sci-fi I'd recommend Oblivion, also starring Morgan Freeman and Olga Kurylenko. It also has a great music score by M83.

Emily Blunt is such a good actress. She submerges herself in her character and makes you believe the stakes are high as hell. For more movies by Blunt you should check out, "Quite Place 1 &2, Adjustment Bureau. Devil Wears Prada, Charlie Wilson's War, Gnomeo and Juliet. She hits the mark everytime.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Plus she's that amazing mix of badass & lovely 🥰

[@JuandeFucaU]

if you look up the word "range" in Wikipedia..... it directs you to Emily Blunt's imdb page.

[@lethaldose2000]

@@jenmurrayxo She does it in all her roles. She's tender in one scene and kicks ass in the next scene. I think she reflects the modern interpretation of a woman.

[@basecode8]

Don't forget Sicario

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Adjustment Bureau is a very underrated movie. If you accept the precepts it works really well.

[@BlackWACat]

as a big fan of the novel this is based on, this movie hit all the right places and i love it it’s not quite the same and a lot of things were changed to adapt it (some things i didn’t initially agree on, but grew to understand and appreciate), but the core is there and it works extremely well IMO, i am really happy people liked it

[@paulcurran4786]

It's a pity it didn't do well in the theatres, we may have gotten the prequel with Emily Blunt becoming the Heavy Metal B*tch.....and who knows, we may have gotten a sequel too.

[@BlackWACat]

@@paulcurran4786 it's a shame, yeah the novel actually has an entire chapter that paints that backstory, i think they briely touched on it in the movie, albeit it was different (especially cause the rule of how to break it in the first place is different)

[@GeorgiusAgricola-pn4cr]

I like how Jen made an effort to avoid learning anything about the film before watching it. She shares her genuine sense of delight and discovery with the audience. A fun reaction!

[@THEvagabond29]

Ive read the graphic novel this movie is based on. They changed the ending as it was tragic. Cage must battle the Angel of Verdun for the power, as they you always be an antennae of the enemies eye, and she thinks he does have the chops to keep fighting. Its an incredible fight between the two as they both have blades, buts hes learned how to use and defend the blades from studying her for his "entire life". He kills her, hold her hand... and vows to wear bright colored armor and continue the war in her name... for humanity.

[@martinbraun1211]

This movie reminds me very much of the episode "Cause and Effect" from "Star Trek - The Next Generation"! 🖖

[@RuntotheMovies]

I walked out of the theater in 2014 with a teenager-level crush on Emily Blunt. Not just because of how badass her character was or how stunning she is but because of the obvious dedication she put into the role. Every movie of hers that I have seen since has only strengthened that. That aside, I do think that the BEST part of this movie is the character played by Bill Paxton. It is absolutely clear that Bill (RIP) had a great time playing the role. Generally, I think everyone looks like they had a great time filming this movie.

[@normlee6566]

The sci-fi action version of Groundhog Day. Both are so well done.

[@TremorWatt]

This is actually based on a Japanese light novel series called "All You Need Is Kill". What a name. It's one of the best live action films based on an anime/manga/light novel.

[@musicloverchiefsfan5410]

Jen, I've watched this movie twice and I enjoyed watching your reaction - maybe more than actually watching the movie itself.😄 Love your channel!

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thank you! Been having a blast watching movies with you guys! ☺️👍

[@cbretschneider]

Super glad you enjoyed this one. When I first saw this in theaters, that very first time Tom Cruise died really got to me too. Something about that shot was a kind of horror like I had never seen before. "Goosebumps all over," indeed.

[@waterbeauty85]

I'm surprised that I don't see tons of comments mentioning that this is based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka's novel "All You Need Is Kill" and its manga adaptation. The novel and manga end on a much more pyrrhic note that reflects upon the necessity of sacrifice (very Japanese, that).

[@charlie53echo]

This concept is delivered so well. How could anyone come away from watching this without being so pumped! One of my faves, glad we got to watch it together. See you on the next one.

[@Michael-id9bw]

Nice reaction Jen. I really miss Bill Paxton. He was never what you would call an "A" list actor, but I enjoyed everything that he did. I worked with a guy that used to work at a hotel in LA and Bill would stay there when he was filming. He said that Bill was super nice and always made time to speak with him.

[@jenmurrayxo]

He seemed like such a cool guy. RIP

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

This movie is fantastic. Its how to do time travel right. Emily Blunt and Cruise are amazing, great chemistry. Plus Bill Paxton just nails his role. This movie is like Ground Hog Day, but action. If you want to watch a chill, feel good comedy Ground Hog Day is it. I saw comment about recommending Oblivion. I concur, its good. Also shoutout to Iceland, it was shot there.

[@Buskieboy]

Great reaction. Remember, Cage remembers everything, and Emily remembers when SHE had the vision so once he tells her about it, she'll understand. He has the ace in the hole because he knows everything about her so they can go have coffee and "get to know each other"! Foreshadowing @24:58 You should watch "The Darkest Hour" (2011). Alien invasion set in Russia. Not a Russian movie though, but the backdrop is Russian locations. Creepy and fun.

[@arraymac227]

First time (about time!) hearing 'This is like a videogame, you play it over and over until you figure out how to beat the level.'

This is one of my all time favorite movies and one of my all time favorite channels. I’m really enjoying watching you grow! I remember seeing this in theaters without knowing anything about the movie or it’s source material (a manga called all you need is kill - way different ending).

Great reaction. This movie did a good job of bringing some "hard" sci-fi elements to the big screen. It was a well done film. It was more like watching Robert Heinlein's Starship Trooper than the actual movie was.

[@juanbernando]

*Minority Report* with Tom Cruise. Anothe Sci-fi classic.🙌

[@scyphe]

Those military exoskeletons in the movie are very similar to the prototypes that various military contractors have been working on for a decade or so. Afaik they're still a long way from being ready for actual use. It seems military research is focusing on unmanned war/battle technologies; we already have advanced drones and small robots for bomb disposal and other tasks. We're going to see more of that stuff become more common. I guess it's a good thing since it puts less soldiers in harms way.

[@M1cha3lP]

I LOVE this movie. So glad you did too. Again, really great to see you react so perfectly at all the right moments. I always enjoy how you speak your thought processes out loud as you try and make sense of what you're watching. These moments are just as valuable as your big shock moments.

[@johnberg9497]

As mentioned earlier, the screenplay is based on a Japanese Manga call "All You Need Is Kill" ... what is interesting is that the author wrote a forward about the inspiration came from playing a rpg video game. He noticed the 'praise' that some npcs gave him for getting certain tasks completed. He realized that he only got that way by doing some of then over-and-over, and not because he was naturally talented at the game tasks. It inspired him to translate that realization into a story. The director and several actors are still interested in making a sequel (last I knew, anyways).

Likening it to a video game is a very common thing v and totally works for the way the movie plays out.

Edge of Tomorrow went the modern writing route. No quick uneeded love scene as a nice filler, but i think since mainly men are watching this movie. What plays better than falling in love?. Cruise sacrifices his love for Blunt so she can live. IT's a feeling many people have sacrificing for their families with no fanfare, medals or celebration.

It's a Tom Cruise sci-fi, I think it's better than Edge of Tomorrow, much as I like the latter. 5:32 I did a solo parachute jump from 2000 feet once, there was no door at the exit point - just an open space where the door would be. When the plane had reached 2000 feet, you had to slide your ass forward to the exit hatch and sit on its ledge with your legs (from below knees) hanging outside the plane and your hands holding on to each side of the exit hatch. When you got the slap on the back, you were to push yourself out. The parachute opened itself (static line), with a 2nd emergency parachute strapped to your chest. I felt like James Bond. 😎 I did it to try and cure my fear of heights and to impress a girl. The latter worked.

It took me a few viewings to figure out that near the end of the film, he restarts the day 24 hours before killing the Omega, as opposed to 24 hours before killing one of the Alphas in the first instance.... Which makes me wonder that when he eventually dies again, even if it's 30 or 40 years later, would he loop back to that day again when he wakes up in the helicopter??

Tom Cruise playing against type for the most part, along with more comedy than expected, Blunt being amazing, and many more things. It really was an awesome surprise I remember thinking "this movie has no right to be this good what the hell". Also, the touch of romance that was thrown in (really just a few looks and the goodbye at the end of the final battle) really wasn't planned. They had decided to keep it straight '2 soldiers' and nothing else but when Cruise and Blunt had a nice spark, it was Blunt who actually improvised the kiss at the end. They did a few takes and on the one they ended up using she said she threw it in because it just felt right for the goodbye because there was a little something there along the lines of 'wish I knew you under different circumstances'. As always, great fun watching along.

[@cameronb851]

4:25 In science fiction, this 'frame' is called an exoskeleton (meaning skeleton on the outside) and the principle is that it amplifies applied force through a force feedback loop, so it is a force multiplier, making the user 'stronger'. Much less complicated force feedback mechanisms actually exist, but this compound exoskeleton they are wearing is well beyond current technology. In particular the ones in the film run off some kind of moderate sized battery pack and give the current state of that industry, there is no way that a suit like that would function for more than a hand full of minutes at best without a significantly larger pack than would be possible given the available area on the suits in the film. So no, this isn't a thing the military has.

Great first tiime watching. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. What if action movies. PS. Love the Vincent Van Gogh Sunflowers print. Have you seen the Dr Who episode hommage to Van Gogh?

[@jenmurrayxo]

I haven't seen Dr Who but it's on my list! 👍

[@claudelemire2451]

@@jenmurrayxo 5 fun seasons ttill that episode.

[@mako88sb]

Yes. My daughter loves art and that episode brought her to tears just thinking about Van Gogh seeing how much his art is appreciated.

So I just re-watched this reaction(which was the first one of yours that I seen), and it's amazing how much your reactions have changed over time! I forgot how long your intros used to be, and you were definitely much more subdued with your reactions back in the beginning. Also, can't really explain it, but you seem older in this video than you are now... IDK if that is an insult or a compliment, but that's what I thought while watching this video! Lol

[@jenmurrayxo]

I was quite nervous back then, and I was more preoccupied with my crappy webcam quitting, mic cutting out, etc and less able to get fully immersed and excited about the movies like I am now. Most seasoned KZbinrs will tell you it takes about 100 videos to find your style and feel truly confident (unless you are already a pro) and I found this to be true. I feel much more myself now in videos and feel like my true personality is coming through

@@jenmurrayxo I still really enjoyed your older reactions, but it was one of the reactions you did with your sister where I felt like we first got to see the real Jen on display.... I remember thinking to myself "oh, so she's the funny one of the family!" : )

in recent years, Tom Cruise has starred in two really good science fiction films: this one and Oblivion.I WANT MORE!

[@markus.schiefer]

Emily Blunt once said that she would never act in a Tom Cruise movie. One reason was all the action scenes. Because of that Cruise went to see her personally and had to convince her to do it.

Just so you know Jen... There are these kind of "robot suits" like seen in the movie. They are far less advanced though and very clumsy, so they wouldn't be able to pull basically any of the maneuvers Cruise pulled in the movie just flying around and rotating his body instantaneously to shoot some alien behind him.

I wasn't expecting to like this film as much as I did, Cruise seems to play himself in many of his films, but this film, Oblivion and War of the Worlds he plays very flawed or reluctant hero type characters, which made them more enjoyable.
