We're going to keep discussing it, almost endlessly in a loop until we get it right.

Hate to break it to you, but you've already watched it 134 times.

Its way more than a year. He makes a reference (I forget exactly) and its implied it has been years of reboots/practice.

A new character as strong as the two leads who keeps coming back when he should be dead...

Watched it again. And I just can't see how Rita getting it back can work.
Its set pretty firmly, they need to get the blood on/in them. when would have that have happened?
yes, we in theory are seeing this from the out of loop point of view. so we would have not seen it.
But alot happens before they see the alpha, to have gotten the blood on her again. so to say, well its that alpha at the very end, where she got it again, then they would have had to get through some insane shit the first run, for her to get back into a loop.
+she does get out of her bonds instantly. and makes note of time. as noted.
"they're coming", foretelling when some aliens are going to over run their position.
and when up against the alpha at the end, she flat out tells Cage "you won't make it 10 feet before you die". as if.. its happened before. and swaps jobs with him.
-at one point she asks, where the other soldiers are.
cage himself survives a number of crazy fights and actions without her direct interference. hes not looping, so why is he so good at predicting actions suddenly?

Agreed, that kind of artistic wankery is also what got us the fucking recent starwars bullshit.

everyone was bumping the thread, so i watched it again too. great movie. but there is NO WAY rita got her powers back. there may be an edit somewhere where she DOES get her powers back but not in the theatrical release. everyone keeps using the moment where she calls cage out for taking so long to get out of his restraints as a hint but she immediately follows that up with trying to kill cage to reset the day. she wouldn't do that if she knew he lost his powers, which she most definitely would have known if she had hers.
also, when they are about to infiltrate the louvre where the brain is, one of J squad mentions that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are they allowed to kill an alpha because if they do, the brain will just reset everything and move. the visions that Rita and Cage got about where the brain was, those were set up as traps, but they were also actually where the brain was prior to them getting their powers from the alpha. if rita got her powers back from killing an alpha, the whole last act would have just been another trap.
