Good movie, ending on the other hand, no so great.

I don't really understand what exactly happened at the end.

I haven't seen it yet. It's out on blu ray, isn't it? I should really get around to picking that up.

Why don't you just watch it online, for free? Or Netflix.

OT: I plan on watching it in one of the next few days.

PSA: If you see it under the name "Live Die Repeat" it's the same film, the studio just changed the name in case the DVD sales bomb like the box office did.

The name of the light novel was "All You Need Is Kill" which is really Engrish-y but it's kind of catchy >.>

at the end, he wakes up on the morning of the day he blows up the thing to save the day, so he hasn't done it yet when he wakes up, so how has he fixed anything.

Well

I might watch it.
I haven't been interested in movies since Pacific Rim.

that's what confuses me. He wakes up two days before the attack on the beach. Instead of the day of the attack. When he wakes up on the helicopter he still knows everything, and where the mind is. So I guess he tells the general and they nuke the fuck out of it. I've heard that because he knows how to defeat it, that the mimics leave once someone knows how to defeat them

In the original story he and the girl Rita both are also backups and to end it they have to kill one or the other. So one dies and the loop ends and the story carries on from where we left off.

The girl says she had he power and "lost it". How the fuck would she know she couldn't come back to life while she was still alive? I know she said she had a feeling it was gone or something, but Tom Cruise's character didn't have a feeling when he acquired the power.

I did like the story up until around the end. The final reset made no sense.

Spoiler

Come to think of it, there were a few problems...

it's true she had no way of telling, that being said, they imply it when Tom cruise dies, they show the blood spilling on him again, so he regained the power. So it implies that the lady was right, the blood transplant makes you lose the power.

What's even worse is this. If he got the alphas blood on him, and he died and got reset, he wouldn't have the blood in him anymore, therefore he only has the power once. A major flaw in the story.

No, that's not what I'm talking about.

Yeah, I thought that it was pretty good. It's a shame that it was a commercial failure.
