The Edge of Tomorrow is my favorite. Now I didn’t exactly like that the alien’s primary form of attack was “Beyblade” mode, but everything else about the movie was pretty great.
I think the film was fine, nothing too special. I don’t really feel the urge to watch it again to see what I missed, though I will probably watch analysis videos made about it. Wish it was scarier, I enjoyed the part where they killed the invaders, even if it was a bit cheesy. Could have used more violence in that form, or at least some sense of dread while Mike was sleeping. I found myself not really caring if that makes sense.
Not a huge fan of the fort building scene either. Didn’t really expect to see goofy animatronic construction simulator.
Overall, watch if you’re a fan. Not really a horror film though.
Yes, I mentioned it in my post. The idea that you can only travel back in time to the moment the machine was turned on is great and helps you avoid many paradoxes. It’s a very close second to Timecrimes but the ending was very confusing with too many timelines created at the same time.
I’m sure if you’re super into the lore then this will be a great movie for you but man, it was so boring for me. The exposition ratio is way too high, it really could have used more animatronic screen time and action instead of the frequent dream sequences.
I just re-read this the other night. The original comic run is fantastic and I forgot it was going to get made into a film but it’s been several years since that announcement.
Essentially anything that isn’t talking about stable time loop have to be either be written by the greatest sci fi writer ever or never be written at all. Humans really need causality.
As opposed to the very real science of time travel? Marty fading was an excellent visualisation of how Marty’s altering the past, and hinted that there’s a level of housekeeping the timeline does to keep the world consistent. It’s just one of many theories about time travel that have been depicted in film, even if it’s not your personal favourite theory.
Not a movie, so maybe not a counter point, but I rather liked the show Dark on Netflix. I think they handled the subject matter well, without getting spoiler-y.
This movie almost ruined my relationship with my then girlfriend/now wife. I saw it and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. So I super recommended it to her and she… Did not agree :P It’s a very weird movie though, so I get it.
The entire point of the movie was that they didn’t knew who started the pandemic and were travelling back in time to try and figure it out. The scientists on the plane next to the guy who created the virus means that they did figure it out now, right? Or was is supposed to just be a huge coincidence?
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen 12 Monkeys. My impression has always been that the end was meant to be tragic. That they were so close to being able to figure it out (the one person having actually been there at the time), but ultimately they never did, and never prevented it because it always happened. The scientists in the future are so focused on the 12 Monkeys group that the person that actually released the virus sits comfortably in their blind spot.
I (same as the other user) thought that Bruce Willis manages to send a message saying that it’s not 12 Monkeys and that’s how they figure out it’s the guy on the plane.
Also, the scientists in the future wait for a message on the answering machine. The message on the machine changes based on what Bruce does in the past so it’s clearly not a perfect loop. Actions in the past influence the future so you’re back to paradoxes.
Oh, my interpretation was that after what we see in the movie, they now know the 12 monkeys is not the cause and get to the real terrorist to stop him.
Iirc, the future government (? I guess) weren’t trying to find the source to stop the release, but to get a pure sample to study so as to cure the disease in the future. The lady on the plane was there to get the sample.
