[@darko1485]

Fun fact from the source material: After the movie, I went and read the source material, which was a Japanese Manga (17 chapters or so). The reason why she has a melee weapon is because she would frequently run out of ammunition and with a close combat weapon (I think it was a Battle Axe in the Manga) she wouldn't have to worry about it. Manga is super different, but also really cool. Honestly, this is of my favourite movies of all time. A great novel story with a great setting and I freaking loved how they got romance wise closer in the movie. I really wish to see a sequel, a couple of years in the future or so. Maybe they actually found the home Planet and maybe they made an alliance with other species that also got fucked by the mimics and they decide to join forces and find their home Planet and nuke the shit out of it, facing some temporal (time) anomalies on the way, etc... I don't know, I'm just playing around with ideas :D

It is hard to say if it needs a sequel. I think it is a complete story by itself. But if there will be a sequel, then great, as long as it is a solid story & script & that Cruise & Blunt are also part of it, no replacements. But if the title is "Edge of Tomorrow", then that wordplay does seem to invite the possibility of a sequel for "tomorrow".
