I like how her and her whole elite squad got totally merked in the first couple of minutes of the invasion. Shows how completely outclassed the humans are.
What keeps amusing me is that she became that legendary 'Angel of Verdun' mainly because on her first day in battle she got an alpha mimic's blood mixed with hers. Thanks to that she could relive that day again and again and know every move of mimics on the battlefield. But for that she would have been killed like thousands other rookies.
I love that in an interview she had to tell Cruze when they were filming to hurry the hell up getting over to her in the scene where she is stretching because she couldn’t hold the pose for very long after reshooting the scene so many times.
In the final battle, they really should have asked her own crew as backups. They seem to be an elite force. More competent than Tom’s squad. Better yet, ask both squads to come with them.
This movie is in the top 20 sci-fi movies of all time, IMHO. It is in my personal top 5, right alongside Gattaca. Loved the character growth. Crazy as Tom is in real life, where he took this character from beginning to end was pretty amazing. And I became a fan of Emily Blunt's work after this. Favorite scene is Tom crawling away with a broken leg trying to reassure her he is okay as she walks up to him and chambers a round. Then, blam.
I'm getting goosebumps when Tom Cruise says to the general "you have no mental capacity to fight this thing". Damn it! That's the most badasses coolest line ever!
