We are as blindsided by his duplicity as she is. Our discussion is going to be full of SPOILERS from here on out - for both Edge of Tomorrow and the All You Need is Kill source material. And by the way, Blunt totally rocks this role. On the ground, Cage watches as J-Squad and UDF war hero Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt) are mercilessly slaughtered by orange-tinted Mimic drones. More generally, I was impressed by the movie in a number of other ways: * It is intelligent. And yet, she has layers to her psyche as well, having had the same power to relive an Endless Day over and over that Cage has, only then losing it. He’s pretty much a talking head, but even here we get some depth to his character: Although he was on the right track in terms of how to deal with the alien invasion, The Powers That Be perceived him to be crazy, and locked away his invention, then busted him down to working on weapons in an ad hoc factory. Starring: Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. York type who's great for armed forces morale in addition to being an exceptionally gifted killer. Cage manages to survive the Omega's trap (by drowning himself) and the encounter encourages him to revisit an abandoned piece of technology that Dr. Carter had built - based on the appearance of Vrataski's original visions - to track the Omega by hijacking an Alpha's connection to the Omega. The third act is triggered when Cruise’ immortality (his ability to reset) is unexpectedly taken from him by a well meaning medic who transfuses his blood. We get the usual skin-of-our-teeth third act and it’s good enough visually to close the movie, without any real surprise.
The writers exploit this irony brilliantly. Cage's only allies are a scientist (Noah Taylor) who believes the creatures are beating humanity through their mastery of time, and Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), an Audie Murphy or Sgt.

Obviously this is tied to the story’s central conceit, but the narrative explores death from multiple perspectives and emotional places: shock, fear, humor, sadness, resignation, then at the end embracing that aspect all humans share, our will to survive. Trailers give away much too much information (but that’s another topic).
Then he wakes up and starts all over. If you have not seen it, do not click on More because there are tons of spoilers. As Cage swims downward, he is impaled (and mortally wounded) by the Alpha, who spears him through the chest with a tentacle; in spite of his injury, Cage manages to release a cluster of grenades.
Major William Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Then if I don’t really care about the characters, which is often the case, I’m left to experience nothing but a bunch of explosions and noise, amounting to meaningless claptrap. Edit Report This. Relationship Story Issue: Deficiency vs. Cruise deserves some sort of acting award for the array of yelps and gasps he summons as he's killed by a Mimic or shot in the head by Blunt and then rebooted into another version of the story. Of course, I think one of the reasons why those movies tend to frenzy is precisely because there is so little going on in the story’s psychological realm. I want dead to be dead. "Edge of Tomorrow" is less of a time travel movie than an experience movie; that statement might not make sense now, but it probably will after you've seen it.
