Edge of Tomorrow is criminally underrated. You should check out the Japanese light novel it's based on: All You Need Is Kill.

[@JoshuaDay0550]

how is it underrated? it got a 90% from both critics and viewers. I swear people just say that a film is "underrated" for no reason these days lol

[@johnberg9497]

the manga author had the idea from playing video games and realized he got better after every death ...

[@Polymathically]

@@JoshuaDay0550 It has a high rating now, but it took a long while to reach this point. It flopped in the North American box office (it had to compete with The Fault In Our Stars, Maleficent, and X:Men: Days of Future Past), and was only saved by overseas audiences and word of mouth. A lot of articles discussing the best sci-fi movies of the last two decades don't even mention it.

[@theblackswordsman9951]

This is one of the few cases where imo the movie is better than the source material.

[@josephpost5743]

Tom cruise apparently only refers to this film as All You Need is Kill.

[@halhala2]

Yep. It didn't occur to me when I first watched it, but this whole movie is basically one ginormous Dark Souls playthrough, only without the option to put down the controller or hit pause. I don't think it sank in just how horrifyingly soul-crushing that would be until you no longer had the option to quit.

[@imjackm2174]

@@halhala2 imagine doing blight town over and over again with no options of going back until you win that sounds like true pain

[@seecha8970]

Tom Cruise has a reputation of being as practical as possible so all those suits were really worn by the actors and all those jumps and action sequences were shot using wiring and crash pads. Cause that's just how Tom rolls. And if you're up for another mind-boggler of a Tom Cruise sci-fi, I highly recommend "Oblivion."

[@philmap5536]

[@JamesVSCinema]

[@philmap5536]

@@JamesVSCinema please read the Manga ! You’ll love it.

[@jamalfoster3329]

This movie is maaaad underrated, and such a nice change from Tom Cruise's more standard action roles, where he starts as a bit of a coward and has to build himself up overtime, as opposed to starting as an immediate badass (with maybe the exception of The Last Samurai). Dope reaction and review man!!

[@frightenedsoul]

True about The Last Samurai, although he did start off as at least a badass shot. The beginning he showed off crazy good aim while being hammered drunk.

[@toreadoress]

I don't think underrated is the right word, the move generally has great reviews and most of the people who watched even at the time of release really liked it. It underperformed in the US mostly because of terrible marketing and the studio had no idea how to advertise it, it was only saved by international box office. But still the people who saw it actually enjoyed it. An underrated movie is more like when the people who saw it at the time were mixed about it or didn't fully understand it and gave it worse rating than it deserves, but later on when some time passes they realize it wasn't actually as bad no matter if it was a box office flop or succes. Great example for underrated movie for it's time is Fight Club. A lot of people who saw it when it came out didn't like it and got a lot of negative press even from "professional" critics. It became a cult classic much later on when people did realize it was very underrated. But that wasn't the case with Edge of Tomorrow, the movie wasn't polarizing when it came out and it was received generally very well by a lot of people who did see it, it just had horrible marketing and most people didn't bother because they thought it'll be just generic bang bang Tom Cruise movie. Btw it may seem like a rant or argue, but that's not what I'm trying to do. Just saying there is a difference between underrated and underperformed and I see a lot the word "underrated" thrown around where it's not always the case.

[@SuzakuX]

Some fun details from the novel for those curious (spoilers): The mimics aren't actually the aliens, the aliens are on a mothership stationed a safe distance away from the Earth; the mimics are a biological weapon deployed by the aliens. They landed in the ocean and incorporated the DNA of ocean life, hence why they're called "mimics." In the novel they move in swarms, are amphibious, and look more like a combo of fish, starfish, and anemone. They terraform through their basic biological processes, converting and excreting what they breath, drink, and eat into the elements the aliens need to live, making the environment toxic to humans. In the novel, Rita uses a giant axe that is laser cut from the wing of a decommissioned airplane by her unit's engineer. In the movie she uses a sword made from a helicopter blade. In both cases, she opts for a melee weapon because she won't need to worry about running out of ammo. The novel is set in Japan and the main character is a fresh recruit named Keiji. The way the time travel works is a bit different, with the different types of mimics having a slightly different purpose. In the novel this creates a scenario where the only way to break the time loop is for Keiji to kill Rita, leading to her forcing him into a climactic one-on-one fight to the death. Afterwards Keiji becomes the new hero of the human resistance, receiving the nickname Killer Cage from the Americans that Rita served with.

[@JamesVSCinema]

[@CrayCruz]

Hey James, I love how you point out how "Edge" shows and doesn't tell the audience the story. It is also well crafted, specifically the dialogue. It drops little clues along the way. Sgt. Farrell literally tells you what's about to happen to Cage in his "Fiery Crucible" speech: "Battle is the great redeemer. It is the fiery crucible in which great heroes are forged. The one place where all men truly share the same rank, regardless of what kind of parasitic scum they were going in." And he was an "officer" when the movie starts, behaves like a parasitic scum, gets stripped of his rank and gets "baptized" in battle by the Alpha. He's busted down to private and shares his rank with J Squad. With each reset, he is forged, by combat, into a hero. After watching "Edge" a second time (and many more times after that) I got it. Farrell was "telling" us, but we did not know it at the time. Brilliant screenwriting! "Where are you going private? You're about to miss your moment."

[@quiettimegaming3642]

16:36 that’s what’s wild. When you think of all the time skips, and how they will make his progression seem mostly seamless, until he lets on to Rita that’s he intimately familiar both with her, and the process of getting to each point. It’s wild because it could have taken thousands of attempts to get as far as he does… so it makes sense why he would be in love with her. But it’s also a trip from her perspective because everytime he does some crazy badass shit, it’s the first time she’s seeing it. Plus he’s a complete stranger who has spent more time with her and probably knows her better than anyone, if it’s been thousands of attempts… many of which seem to last an entire day.

[@WALKTHISWAYINC]

LOVE this movie. Insanely enough, when it came out it didn't do that well. The consensus was that because the film's kind of subtitle/slogan was "LIVE. DIE. REPEAT.' - - which was also on the poster, confused people. There seemed to be some audiences who thought it was actually called "LIVE. DIE. REPEAT", and they were having trouble finding it. So it under-performed due to the confusion. Which is tragic, because it's amazing. But it's garnered some good cult status in recent years..... One of Cruise's best for sure.

Mr. James, once again, you are the pièce de résistance when it comes to movie reactions. Great insights, so much fun to watch along. Something I noticed this time around with Edge of Tomorrow (one of my favorite movies of the past decade, BTW), a big part of the enjoyment of these kind of "time-loop" (Groundhog Day) movies is that the lead character's backstory is perpetually updated, while the backstory for the other characters remains constant. So, while the main character can change and grow, based on what he learns about the other people in his (repeating) life, no one else can grow with him. Despite that, if he learns to transform from a selfish to a selfless person (as happens here and also in Groundhog Day) it's purely because it is the right thing to do. No one else will ever know about it, they won't know what his journey was. It has a philosophical bent; is there really such a thing as a purely selfless act, if someone else witness it? What if some one witnesses your selfless act, but you don't see them, and they don't tell you they saw you? This is the kind of thing that can go on and on, and so I'll end here. But I will say, I love it when movies can provoke these kind of "unanswerable" questions, years and years after you've seen them.

One of my favorite movies of the past 10 to 20 years. I rewatched it numerous times and I usually really don't like the groundhog theme.

I just love how this movie starts him off as this unlikeable wimp and by the end you're totally invested in his resulting badassness.

I thoroughly enjoy this movie. I've watched it multiple times and it's still fun. What annoys me is that I always want to dislike Tom Cruise movies (because I kinda dislike him as a person), but somehow I always end up having a good time. Damn you, Cruise! **shakes fist at sky** 😂😂

One of my favorite action films in the last decade. Just so smart, fun, emotional and the pacing is just SO good. Those repeats could have gotten old real quick but it keeps throwing different things at you that keep you so invested and entertained. And I love the ending. I always viewed it as the Omega would almost like anchor itself in time, so that it could reset to certain points and try again from that point when a mimic died so they could try again. So its last anchor/save was pre-battle when he was in the helicopter. So when the Omega died time reversed back to that anchor point and it died sort of where it last "saved". Which is why he woke up there instead of at the army base.

This really is an underrated film, great to see you loved it as much as most of us. Another very random aspect that I liked was how initially the soldiers look very hindered and weak with the suits and you're left wondering why they're using them in the first place. Until you see what the two protagonists can do after months, or perhaps even years of training with them. Then you suddenly realise it is not the suit's design that is the flaw, the suits are extremely powerful, it is simply the lack of training that the soldiers have received due to a desperate rush, which makes sense.

One of my all time favorite movies and probably my favorite Cruise film as well. One of the most underrated films of all time
