No one forgot tentacles. In fact, I think that's one thing the Americans one-upped them on.

yup we added some nice mecha tentacles! the book was surprisingly lacking in any sorts of tentacles as the mimics where kinda lumbering star-fish like sacks of WE SHOOT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU rather than the spinning mechanical death machines that can shoot also BUT WHY THEY ARE SPINNING AND COOL

My wife and I laughed a lot at that scene. Good times.

Movie just needed someone trying to sell him life insurance.

I agree. caught it on hbo today, wife sat down and watched, kept asking questions and I was like... I don't know I have never seen this

Emily Blunt is sex on wheels. I hope she gets tapped to play Ms Marvel.

Amen.

Was watching the HBO premiere last night, like I assume a few others. Movie is definitely worth watching at least twice. Which is something I barely do with any newer movies.

Watched it last night. Really good stuff, also read the manga earlier today which was super short. I have to say I liked the movie better then the manga, aside from the scene where Rita realizes he was looping
The manga version had some powerful feels there.

In the manga, he puts a number on his wrist to determine which loop it is. That would have been nice to see in the movie. But, the movie is still good.

Eh it did, but I felt the manga was trying a little to much at that point- maybe it was the perspective change, while cool, only served a singular purpose.

Finally saw it. Great movie imo 7/10
Am i the only one who was pissed with the alpha's blood reaching cage at the end? Damn....that was fucked up.
But now he has a chance to bone the FMB eheh

Well the blood thing... they kinda had to do something to wrap it up - so they did the hollywod thing. We look at the story as the overall "thing" with cage etc. as players in the story- the story needs to be finished. In the manga and in eastern audiences the "story" is about the character in the situation- so the fact that at the end the overall story is still left open withthe characters story is wrapped up (in a clich? manga/anime way also!)

Without Cage surviving and the alpha dead there is a lot left open- yes us humans would be able to progress in the battle and have a "fair shot" as winning vs before where we just got reset until the mimics win- but that's a big IF- we still where outmatched by their number and technology etc. (while the Manga it seems as if we advanced our technology to outpace them- they just where able to evolve to/past our tech via the loops and keep winning) - and in the manga nothing was really done to stop them from looping still, other than the knowledge and skill obtained.

I finally got around to watching this last weekend and man this movie was great. I loved Oblivion too. There aren't too many films that Cruise picks to be in that stink.

My question after the alpha blood thing is: Everytime he dies now does he go back to that point and restart time like he was doing before?

It would hit the trigger for the omega to reset, but since there's no longer an omega nothing happens.

I thought that it was Omega blood at the end that got to him, not Alpha blood.

So we all assume that he suddenly became the new Omega, and thus was able to reset himself even further back in the past.
