This is a teachable moment about the dangers of assumptions and suppositions. Now, you assumed and supposed, apparently because you disagree with my opinion of the film, that I do not know anything about movies: their structure, various narrative devices used in film, etc. Hence your remark about film school 101, saying, in essence, I don’t know what I am writing about, that my opinion is not informed by knowledge of movies.
So allow me to correct that misconception.
I’ve spent most of my adult life in radio, television and videography. I’ve covered news stories for the military ranging from the Arctic Circle to Africa. The Air Force thought enough of my abilities that it paid to send me to the Maine Media Workshop and College to learn from Hollywood cinematographers. The Air Force also sent me to the media school at the University of Oklahoma to hone my craft from some of the best news videographers in the country.
I’ve been on the set of several motion pictures, such as the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies when it shot in England – interviewed the director Roger Spottiswode and actor Pierce Brosnan, nice fellow and a reserve member of Ireland’s artillery brigade, and the first Transformers film when it shot in New Mexico. (Michael Bay is a guy who rarely sits still.)
I’ve also shot several short films, one on the early life of Martin Luther King that the Air Force uses when it marks MLK day.
I was film critic for the newspaper the Miami Hurricane, and I have an Associate Degree in Film and Film Criticism from the University of South Florida.
So, when I write about Edge of Tomorrow being a missed opportunity, I know what I’m writing about. You’re free to disagree with my opinion, you are not free to imply that I lack the intellectual, academic or experiential wherewithal to recognize a good movie when I see one. I can, I do and Edge failed the test.
I never saw much promo on this. Just the first trailer (which I don’t remember there being a sword in it).
But the sword she’s weilding, reminds me of Final Fantasy. "Cloud sword ALL the things!"
As far as missed opportunity, I would agree that it was a missed opportunity as far as the marketing was concerned. They presented this film as a straight up and down sci-fi adventure, when in-reality it was actually pretty witty and funny in parts.
But, I have to say that I sure like Tom Cruise’s films of late a lot more than Brad Pitt’s. Missed opportunity? World War Z was a mess.
Thanks for the file, I’m hoping it’s good work out material…

The missed opportunity was failing to dig deep into the Cruise’s character Major Cage. Allow me to explain.
The most common shorthand description to EOT was "Groundhog Day meets Starship Troopers." I am guessing that if you’re a reader of this forum you’d probably agree that GD is a modern classic. What makes it so is the film does two things very right: character development and showing the audience instead of telling the audience.
Once Murray’s character Phil Connors discovers he is stuck in a time loop he does exactly what his character would do, what the audience has seen him do since the beginning of the film: Phil uses the situation to his advantage: robs an armored car, beds women who fall for his shallow charms, and comes to see himself as a god. (Not the God, just a god. Guess Phil’s hubris did have a limit.) His predicament becomes a short term monument to his massive ego.
But even someone as narcissistic as Phil runs out of things to do. (Especially since he never achieves his ultimate goal of getting Rita (Andie McDowell) to sleep with him.) And that’s when his own private heaven turns into his own private hell. He gets bored. He’s done it all. He can’t escape by killing himself because the universe resets him to the start of Groundhog Day. (Director Ramis said Phil spends 30 to 40 years in the time loop although others have said the years could number in the thousands.)
The film takes the time to show Phil’s rise and fall, a fall straight to the bottom. It’s only then that he discards his ego and confides in another person, Rita, about his situation. Her advice, her positive outlook and the fact that nothing else has worked pushes Phil to change his ways. And he discovers he is good at being the better man. He earns his redemption the old fashioned way through hard work and the audience sees him change. Showing us, not telling us.
Cage, until Connors, doesn’t earn his redemption. He’s presented as the PR hack who sells a war he doesn’t have the guts to fight in: he’s a coward who tries to blackmail the commanding general of Earth’s resistance forces to excuse Cage from the upcoming battle. But after acquiring his power and his initial attempts to avoid fighting or warn the military of the failure of the invasion fall flat, Cage goes almost immediately into hero mode. He’s suddenly grown a spine.
Why? Because he’s Tom Cruise and his screen image isn’t one of cowardice. It’s as though the screenwriters said "the audience knows he’s going to save the day so let’s dispense with all that annoying character development stuff and instead show scenes of Cage dying and being reborn. They’ll get a kick of watching Cruise die a bunch of times."
If the film truly had a pair of balls it would have had Cage behave in a manner true to his nature: be a coward and stay as far from the fighting as possible. Get away the base, go into London and use the time loop to find all ways, plus using his looks and surface charm, to set himself up nicely. Just like Murray’s Phil used the situation to his advantage: money, power, women, etc.
Then have it all eventually go sour. Have Cage realize that the only way out of his ahem, cage, is to do the fight in the war he sold to others. Earn his redemption by earning the respect of this film’s Rita (Emily Blunt) who obviously has no respect for a fobbit – no, that is not a misspelling – like Cage.
The film could have been a criticism of all those talking heads who are the first to rattle sabers, beat the war drums but never have had to look someone in the eye and give that man or woman an order that could kill that person. (Most most dangerous thing pundits probably face is the afternoon traffic jam. They panic if they lose cell phone reception.) An order that might make a parent childless, a child parentless, turn a spouse into a widow or widower. (As someone who spent not-so-quality time in Iraq and Afghanistan I have to admit I would have liked that particular take.)
Instead, we get to watch a middle aged man’s journey in Walter Mitty land: a film that has its hero die and be reborn (resurrected?) numerous times so he can save the human race. Hmmm, sound familiar? Also, this is the third film where Cruise saves the world from aliens: War of the Worlds, Oblivion and EOT. And get the girl – several years his junior – in the last two. Hmmm, again.
Plus the film has other structural weaknesses: we need Basil Exposition a.k.a. Dr. Carter to do an info-dump explaining the motives of the Mimics without explaining just how he came upon all that detailed knowledge and those cool CGI graphics. (Of course, he’s a discredited scientist and has a British accent so he must be right.) If the Mimics control time why didn’t they just appear somewhere earlier in human history when we were less technologically advanced? How does a blood transfusion eliminate Cage’s ability to reset when the body produces 2.5 million red blood cells every second. Dilution was a factor from the beginning. And why reset to a moment before Cage got hit with Mimic blood? Logically, he should always reset to the moment of contamination because that was the moment he gained the ability to reset. He could back that far and no further.
EOT was a movie whose script needed a lot more time in the writer’s room. A missed opportunity indeed.
Also, are we sure that it’s in film order, I feel like some cues are not in the correct order, at least according to the track names it makes me feel that they are incorrect. I loved the film, I really don’t understand the hate. I watched it last night, and I thought it was real good.
Can anyone confirm that this is in film order? I almost am positive that PT and Find Me When You Wake Up should be switched, but that’s just based off the track titles. I could be wrong. Is anyone very familiar with this score that can confirm for me, please?
Also, if someone has time, I’d love a lossless rip of the score End Credits, I don’t really care for the song, no offense.
