Edge of Tomorrow

a futuristic soldier who gets caught in a time loop and has to fight the same battle against alien invaders and die over and over again. Fortunately he gets more skilled and learns new tactics with each go-round.


not the same w/o bill murray 😛

Haha, holy wat the heck... (I'll probably go see it, I'm a sucker)

 

[Gibsons]

Tom Cruise lol

 

[clamum]

Not really an original story but I like the director and Cruise so I'm looking forward to it. I'm a sucker for sci-fi action anyway.

All the profits go to funding that cult. Can't wait!

 

[Ruptga]

So it is exactly the same as Groundhog day except for the characters, setting, plot, and tone?

 

[Born2bwire]

Interesting. But even though Groundhog Day was a good while ago and Source Code was like 5 years ago, it still doesn't seem like that fresh of a concept.

 

[JimKiler]

You make it sound like Groundhog's Day was the original. I remember seeing lots of shows and movies with the same concept. My favorite would have to be Run Lola Run.

Source Code meets Elysium

"Run Lola Run" is a great film but the character isn't cognizant of the different outcomes. It's my recollection that the story just presented different ways of that the scenario could play out.

You can still get VHS tapes?

I'm just kidding.

If I'm lucky, I'll catch it on an airplane. Otherwise, I'll just miss it in the theater, and never get it at redbox.

It's based on the book All You Need is Kill (which is also what the movie was originally titled too). It's a great book, we'll see how the movie turns out:

Run Lola Run is pretty much a Blind Chance remake.

The future, and we're still using an FN SCAR 17 mounted to a forearm with some rig to actuate the trigger. *sigh*

 

[MisterJackson]

He looks retarded in that exoskeleton suit, and I'm a Cruise fan. Hope it translates better on film than it does in picture.

 

[Anonemous]

Didn't source code come out like 1-2 years ago?

 

[dud]

Any movie that has Tom Cruise in it is deserves to be avoided.

I'll be interested to see Hollywood's take on these kinds of suits. I know they are being worked on by the military/darpa for carrying heavier loads, which of course would mean bigger guns, more ammo etc.

I'll watch it when it's out on blu-ray or on Amazon Prime to rent.

You've seen Aliens, right? and more recently, District 9?
