So this is basically how being a video game character looks to the npcs

Imagine if someone told you back in 2013 they're making a movie based on a manga, mixing Groundhog Day, Saving Private Ryan and Starship Troopers, starring an always running Tom Cruise and that it'll be an underated masterpiece you'll never tired rewatching it.

Soul series players understand this scene on a personal level

I think this is Cruise’s 1st role as the character who starts off as the coward but finishes as the hero.

When you have auto save on.

"hey sarge, the new guy, Whats his name again?"

"EDGE OF TOMORROW"

Those war scenes were flawless. You can really sense the total chaos of the fight while clearly understanding everything that's going on

To all those arguing, imagine this:
At the start of the war all the human soldiers knew how to fully use the suits and were badass in them, as you would expect from fully trained professional soldiers.
However this is a few years after the start of the war. The trained professionals have all died due to the aliens cheating with their resets and the human army has drafted anyone they can. Draftees with a couple weeks induction cannot be expected to use the suits to their full potential without ripping their own arms out of joint.
Humanity can easily produce more suits, but cannot easily produce trained troops in a short amount of time.

So I guess he's doing a speedrun?

Rita is partly responsible for the huge number of deaths on the beach. Because she was stuck in the loop for thousands of days she became an expert in using the suit. On her last day before she lost the time reset power she killed tons of mimics and the military thought this was because the suit was formidable technology. Because of this the suits became popular despite being heavy and risky to wear. They mention this in the film, that a first time user of the suit can kill hundreds of mimics a day. The catch is you can only kill hundreds of mimics a day if you’ve practiced using the suit for thousands of hours like cage or Rita.

I love when he’s running circles around the pit killing mimics, the other marine is just “WHAT THE—?!”  Such a great film. Would make for a fantastic video game.

This film is like Starship Troopers meets Groundhog Day.

Can you imagine if everyone leaned how to use the suits to their full potential?

So lot's of jokes about autosaves, but imagine if the whole army had autosaves... the battle would never conclude because everybody would be wanting to do their kills with more style than their mates

Helldivers players from lvl 1 to lvl 20 be like.

I am not a big fan of T. Cruise, but after i read the visual novel and saw this movie, I can say openly... Cruise did great in this movie.

The chemistry between Tom cruise and Emile blunt made this movie great.

If memory serves, someone did the math and not only does the MC have the benefit of knowing how everything's going to play out but he's accumulated over a solid decade's worth of combat experience.  No wonder he's a badass killing machine.  With the exception of Rita, by the end he has more than twice the combat experience of even the most hardened veteran on that beach.

Actually pretty badass how they implemented such a simple idea in such a complex way; the most dangerous weapon you could possibly imagine, is a weapon that Never Dies

It's amazing to think that there was an actual real attempt made by humanity, one that we never see.  And at some point they actually managed to kill one of those larger alpha aliens, and trigger the reset.  And then we get to see the aliens second attempt, with the humans completely unaware, just going ahead and doing the exact same thing, with the aliens fully aware of everything they're about to do.  The best example of this is the alien buried in the ground, at the exact point where the squad meets up, already positioned to suddenly spring up and murder them all.  Such an OP power!!
