REACTING to *Edge of Tomorrow* WHAT A MASTERPIECE!! (First Time Watching) Sci-fi Movies

[@whitenoisereacts]

What is your favorite Tom Cruise aand Emily Blunt film (independently)

[@tinahastie]

I loved Emily Blunt in a Quiet Place and Mary Poppins Returns. The only Tom Cruise movie I enjoyed was War of the Worlds (I honestly haven't watched much with him).

[@vizer0424]

*War of the Worlds (2005)* and *Oblivion (2013)*

[@dsscam]

Tom Cruise has been excellent throughout his career. He might be the best of all time. I'd have to put all of these movies of his up there: Risky Business, All the Right Moves, Cocktail, Rain Man (Best Picture winner), Born on the Fourth of July (Oscar nomination for him), A Few Good Men (Oscar nominated), The Firm, Jerry Maguire (Oscar winner), Minority Report (Oscar nominated), Collateral (Oscar nominated), War of the Worlds, Oblivion (another awesome sci-fi movie made right before this one) Top Gun Maverick (Oscar nominated, didn't like the original chick flick although he made that one better with the brilliant sequel) and the last 4 Mission Impossible movies. Emily Blunt- just the two Quiet Place movies (thanks to the brilliance of her husband) and this one. If I had to choose my favorites of all those top tier Cruise movies listed above, I'd go with Jerry Maguire, Rain Man, Minority Report, The Firm and the Top Gun sequel as the top 5 in that order.

The problem is that some really good movies can be overlooked and sometimes the producers are aware of that, so they try and more of an effort on it but people do not pay that much attention to it, either due to lack of marketing or huge competition. However it’s only later that people actually acknowledge they’re pretty good. Not saying that’s the case with this movie but just in general in my opinion

Yeah, it makes more sense than how I had interpreted it. I always thought it meant there was another creature out there (like on their home planet or something) that resets time whenever an Omega is killed.

I love the fact that Emily Blunt nearly took out Tom Cruise in a stunt in this movie. She was driving and he had to be the passenger in that scene and kept telling her to "brake!!" multiple times. She didn't listen (she wanted to show him that she could do it her way) and ended up slamming into a tree 😂😅. I really enjoyed this movie! Can't wait for your reactions!! 😊

[@babalonkie]

It's not a film starring Tom Cruise if there is not a accident during a stunt... Which is what worries me, i hope he passes the torch to stuntmen before luck runs out.

[@oliverconway6960]

What really interested me about this film is that it combines the novel it was based on (the Japanese book All You Need Is Kill) with the World War II operation it also served to commemorate (the D-Day landings). It was even released on the 70th anniversary of those landings. Verdun in the beginning was also a World War I reference, and Operation Downfall was the name of a failed Allied invasion of Japan during WWII. Plus, can we appreciate that this film has basically become a metaphor for Tom Cruise's entire acting career? For his first 15 years, outside of the original Top Gun and Days of Thunder, he wasn't really that much of an action star. His bravery and dedication to his work has increased since he started the Mission Impossible series, just like his character here became better skilled as a fighter with each loop, to the point that he has done his own stunts for many years now, Top Gun: Maverick has become the best and most successful film of his career, and MI: Dead Reckoning Part 1 is already going so strong.

[@ProfDCoy]

Yeah Stella was really on point with this movie. Just like Stella, I went into Edge of Tomorrow not really liking the Tom Cruise persona, and one of the coolest things EoT does is spend an entire movie earning exactly one shot of Tom Cruise being the Tom Cruise persona - the last shot of the movie, a split second of Cruise turning on the Tom Cruise high beams and it's 1000% earned.

[@samuelvincent557]

The end was a nice touch, where he not only reset the day, but because they did the attack so soon, it was still the day before the battle, so he was reset one day previous. So he never ruined his career. Either that, or it reset to when you last slept.

[@greyscalesx]

James you're right about Rita Vrataski's blade. It is from a helicopter. she started used it bc she constantly ran out of ammo during Verdun.

[@rollotomassi6232]

The author even went to the trouble of stating that the loop starts 24 hours to before he dies. The siege was in the morning a few hours before the invasion. So he got sent back to 24 earlier in the morning when he first landed in London for his meeting with the General. You all get the connection between Cage & Rita, Rita had the same connection with Henderson that Cage has with her thus the kiss she gives him at the end. Rita knows Cage is in love with her even if she doesn't feel the same way.

[@covrtdesign5279]

She can't feel the same way, she only knew him for two days. It is really well written but not just overly simplified and in your face.

[@cmlemmus494]

There's an interesting theory about this film. In 2012 Tom Cruise had a pretty public breakdown: divorce from Katie Holmes, didn't see his daughter for 4 months, sued a magazine for defamation, etc. In 2014 he was still a good actor, but not a popular one. Several reviewers suggested that his multiple deaths early in the film don't only act as plot advancement, they are also catharsis for the viewer. By dying on screen multiple time before he gets back to form, the audience can forgive and move on. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but it's an interesting theory.

[@DVDNewsFlash]

This is one of my favorite sci-fi flicks of the modern era. I'm not a Cruise fan but I loved his character in this one, which surprised me.

The suits were real and Emily Blunt said on interviews that Tom Cruise, who is usually a huge force of positivity on set no matter what, was actually having a very shitty time during filming because of them and that’s when everyone felt validated in feeling like shit cause they were second guessing themselves at first lol

[@alexmar.3974]

I like this movie, thanks for the reaction! But I love the book more. There's a lot of stuff different (including the place in which it all happens, which is Japan). But the main things that I was bummed they didn't take to the movie was that: 1)The suits had a "guidance" mode which allowed people with no experience to use them, but that restricted the movements and limited the force at around a quarter (protecting them from doing extremely powerful movements that endangered the body), this thing was deactivated by The Full Metal Bitch and the protagonist because 2) The Full Metal Bitch realized it was useless to fight Mimics with fire weapons, it required too much ammo to kill a single one and the weight made the battery of the suits last less. So she and the protagonist had a melee weapon, a blade the size of an airplane wing, which they used to do one hit K.O.s

[@SigTheSauceMan]

This movie is actually an adaptation of a Japanese light novel and manga series titled "All You Need is Kill." VIZ Media re-released the novel with the American title "Edge of Tomorrow" after this film's release.

[@LThompson59]

There have been talks about a sequel over the last few yrs. I think with it resetting at the end to before the invasion started is due to it being the mimics endgame, that they'd been herding humanity to this point, so they/it was concentrating on this exact point in time. Rita says she watched Hendricks die hundreds of times, so it has to have been a minimum of 200 days she experienced in her time loop. & for Gage, it has to have been at least the same amount of time or more, due to the montage of trying to get them off the beach, as well as teaching Rita the exact locations/timing of their movements, as teaching yourself something is hard enough, teaching someone else in less than a day, is insane.

[@omarholder9036]

Great movie, underrated. Surprised Stella hasn't seen it. Now please consider Cloud Atlas for the most underrated movie of the century, and a beautiful cinematic epic at that. Frobisher and Sixsmith's heartbreaking LGBTQ lovestory set in the early 1900s, together with Adam Ewing's even earlier voyage, and the futuristic tale of Somni-451 could all stand on their own as silver screen masterpieces. Yet when interconnected with eachother and the remaining stories they all work like nothing you've seen before. Amazing sc-fi romance drama thriller and The Wachowski's Magnus Opus (Yes, it's even better than The Matrix). Soooo underrated!

[@janeldavis905]

I like Stella's interpretation of the Omega reset way better than my own. I always thought it meant that the Omega wasn't the ultimate time-resetter. Like, just how the Omega would reset a day when an Alpha dies, somewhere out there (like on their home planet or something) was the next creature up who would reset time even further back if an Omega died. So, I always thought this was kind of a bitter-sweet ending.

Spoiler warning: For people wondering about the ending - the blood of Omega is what makes Omega what it is because it exists outside of it's time. When Cage killed it, and got it's blood in contact with him, he became Omega himself and instinctively reset timeline the way he wanted. It is unclear if he can do that ever again given the fact he's got the power of Omega, but that doesn't matter, as that's where story ends.

To James' point about time loop action movies, there was one that I remember watching on Netflix from 2016 called Arq.

I read somewhere that when the Omega tried to restart time when he died, what he did was transmit his death to the past while Cage, by absorbing the Omega's blood, traveled to the past before his first trip in time. so it was a one-time trip since the travel system no longer exists... by the way this movie is based on a Japanese novel and manga called "all you need is kill" 🎉

I think the Omega didn't die. My theory would be that because it can also reset time at death, what happened was it went back and decided to leave Earth because it was beat at its own game. So he goes back to the point where he got involved and the omega leaves earth.

[@pogofgreed3707]

That’s actually really cool

[@cmlemmus494]

I like it, but I think Cage reset the day without realizing it. The Omega died and he got just enough blood before he died to save Rita. Of course, just because this Omega died doesn't mean there aren't more of these things. No species evolves with this level of complexity but only has one individual.

[@NobleSon32]

@cmlemmus494 the thing about that is his blood was drained and it reset him further back than what he was going back to. So how would less blood result in a bigger jump back? The answer is that the Omega went back and then left and he happens to remember because of his prior exposure and proximity to the Omega when it jumped back.

[@nachtderuntoten3682]

⁠@@NobleSon32The reason why he resets more the previous day is because they started the attack sooner.

[@Souledex]

Either that or the Omega wasn’t the final point in it’s nervous system. There’s another level out there that can reset to an earlier level. After all why would the pinnacle of their species be sent to a beachhead rather than being somewhere safe on their homeworld or floating in the darkness of space with a billion mimics surrounding it.

[@blackknight1013]

You have to put time in order. They go before the invasion starts on that last reset. He kills the Omega before he then dies covered in blood. So it's dead before he resets time. He is in the helicopter because he died before invasion starts this time, so saves everyone that would die. Only thing other than that is they are right and the Omega is outside of time, so it dying before he does means it won't reset. Only way movie works really.

Some great mob movie suggestions for you guys to all watch together: "Donnie Brasco", "Casino", "Goodfellas".

[@boqndimitrov8693]

it was fun to see tom cruise as a coward, wasn't it? and even more fun to see him become a super soldier and hero.

[@Andrew3455]

To me what makes this movie so great is the fact that he starts the movie as a coward which is very rare that the hero starts out as a complete coward. That gives him an amazing character Arc and a lot of growth...

[@christiejanvier8476]

Emily blunt plays the hot, badass soldier role very well in this movie.💅🏽

[@WastedPo]

37:50: I would guess at this point in the movie Cage has probably reset the day close to a thousand times, or at least several hundred. Which means he's spent *years* with Rita.

[@kellymoses8566]

Evil groot is a great description of the mimics. They tried very hard to make them as alien as possible to make them scarier.

[@-zerxvil-5208]

BTW, this is base of a Japanese novel turn manga turn into this movie. The mimics in the manga is round and spikey. The exo-suit is like Samus's. And Vita die and there's no 48 hours Omega reset like in the end of this movie. In the manga, the story continues with the MC alone fighting like Vita would and the end. I'd say this is the only Anime/Manga adaptation that work. But nobody knows about it when it came out. I know because i stumble the manga years before this movie made and i was like: "hmm, this seems familiar?" The Japanese name is Keiji so the English name become Cage as the name of his armor suit.

One of my all time favorite movies. Hyped to see you guys react!

[@-zerxvil-5208]

32:34 Impossible. There's only so far he can go. Reason is the Alpha blood. The Mimic can see what he see Vice versa so the Mimics are chasing him specifically to ending his loop by keeping him trapped, drain his power. Or keep for a couple of days even if he loop, he'll be looping 24 hours after the war.

This easily my fav Tom Cruise movie

[@hous2tim964]

It's one of the rare films that has impressed me in recent years. Finally a film that was out of the ordinary. I wish there were more films like this, but Hollywood doesn't care about the quality these days.

[@shainewhite2781]

YES, SUCH AN AWESOME TIME TRAVEL MOVIE! It's Like Groundhog Day Meets ALIEN.

[@garyscott9364]

When Rita is walking out of the barracks and she punches the guy who says “Bloody hell, it the full metal..” is Emily’s real brother. Easily one of my favorite movies.

[@russellby6307]

Thanks for reaction guys! You definitely have to watch another Sci-Fi movie with Tom Cruise, it's called Oblivion. I think it's the best Sci-Fi movie ever! After this particular movie I've started to respect the role play of Tom Cruise and watched almost all movies with this actor :)

[@TheGundamsword]

Believe it or not, this is actually based on an anime called All You Need Is Kill. Additionally those mech suits are actually based on real powered exoskeletons in development.

[@kobarsos82]

Would never call this masterpiece personally, but I admit it was an enjoyable scifi movie for what it is. A good surprise in that sense, easily recommendable to action and scifi fans. Tom Cruise is great as always here. Tom Cruise's best scifi film to date, is easily Minority Report btw.

[@covrtdesign5279]

Personally I would watch this all day, every day over ever seeing the Godfather again, but I respect your opinion for sure! Just fun to watch and pick up on new details every time, just like the plot.

[@n.q1158]

Every time I see this I remember how Emily Blunt talked in interviews about how heavy those suits were (I think she said between 85 and 100 pounds) and when one interviewer said he had tried one on for just like a minute she was like "Did you cry?" bc apparent she did the first time she had to put it on xD I can't even imagine the amount of preparation and exercise they must have done to make this

[@charlescordell6337]

Knock it off, Stella…just knock it off!

[@ArunKumar-bp5lo]

1 flaw i find is the time would have reset at least one time without him dying as another alpha may have died . if another doesn't die then only it works

[@NicoBabyman1]

1:06 Tom Cruise: “You can’t catch me gay thoughts!” 💭

[@anakamarvelous]

He can’t go anywhere else but the beach because he’ll die anyway that was that scene of him going to the bar and dying on the bridge the Mimic invasion starts that day instead, it’s like the “game” is forcing him to play the main story and keeping to the map boundary.

[@it-really-hurts2092]

One of the best sci-fi movies ever.
