I like what you wrote 🙂 but despite this other theory, one thing is for sure and that was hollywood didn’t like the ending so they cheated and made it into a happy ending… and that robbed the whole movie from me… it’s a brilliant movie, but by the end the movie studio decided their customer can only accept happy ending and so that ending was chosen.
That was my gut feeling coming out of the theater too. But the more I think about it, the more I’m okay with it. Probably because I enjoyed the rest of the film so much and that makes me want to forgive…
it not a happy ending it a set for the sequel dude.
the omega reset the day ther planing too do two more movies.
couldn’t understand this plot hole:
Interesting. I can see your point: If time resets to before the explosion sets off in Paris, then what explosion is the news reporting?
Possible answer: The destruction of the Omega. I admit, I’m reaching, but if Cage waking up with the new powers results in the permanent death of the Omega, perhaps that permanent death causes the alien to explode?
no it a set up for the next film.
remember when rita told he to make sure he dies well he did not and now we will have a sequel plus one more film.
It’s a wrong theory. The timing has nothing to do with waking up again. There were many times when cage died much earlier but still he woke up at the same “get up, maggot” moment and not 24 hours earlier.
If you think of “resetting the day” as a full day in the past, it makes sense. When he dies on the beach, a full day earlier is the “get up, maggot” moment. When he dies the night *before* the beach fighting the Omega, a full day earlier is waking up on the helicopter. You have to consider “a day” as a solid unit of time and the ability goes to the nearest moment where you wake from being unconscious.
he died earlier under a car trying to crawl away.
hmmm.. ” This event of absorbing the alien blood happens at a time earlier than the previous time. Therefore the reset of time happens to an earlier point (on the chopper) instead of his usual reset point on the airfield.”
i’m ok.
[…] After thoroughly enjoying The Edge of Tomorrow with Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise (you can read my blog on the ending if you’ve seen it), I sought out the script and novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi […]
Much as I enjoyed the movie, the original ending makes much more sense!
hey all .
note their will be a sequel to edge of tomorrow.
so the end it is this.
the omega scenes and alpha was near (Note Cage) it last act before it died was a reset of the day.
cage lying it a pool of it drug did not drowned fast enough.( hint Rita telling cage to make sure he dies
in battle) that why he woke up in stunned to see he was alive. and he smiled at Rita at the end to have one more try at saving them.
