![]() ![]() That power gets transferred to Cruise’s Cage, setting the whole film off. Okay, so the conceit of the film is that these aliens, called Mimics, have a looping time travel-like power that allows them to reset a day, memories intact, whenever they are in danger. Spoilers! This post will spoil the entire movie. Here’s what we came up with, and I’m posting about it because - goshdarn it - I think we really figured this thing out. Okay, now that you’ve seen it - did you have all kinds of thoughts and questions about those aliens and the “time travel” in this movie? Snoopy and I did, too, and we geeked out over a late-night dinner about the science of how what happened could have happened. Those who loved Pacific Rim‘s portrayal of a male-female peer relationship that was largely non-sexual will adore the relationship between Rita and Cruise’s Cage in this film.īasically, it’s just really good. Emily Blunt’s Rita is stellar: she is the aspirational super-soldier, and not the simpering girlfriend she’s also got a bad-ass giant sword. Haters of Tom Cruise get to see Tom Cruise get killed about a hundred times in stunt scenes that Cruise himself described as “channeling Wile E. It’s sharp, funny, entertaining, compelling, and visually stunning. Nerds and feminists - and especially nerd feminists - will adore this movie.

I went to see the new Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt science-fiction film Edge of Tomorrow, which is based on the Japanese novel and manga All You Need is Kill.
