The 2014 sci-fi action film Edge of Tomorrow, starring Tom Cruise and Emily Brown and directed by Doug Lee mann, has only recently had news of the second episode, but... Is the bad news, according to Emily Brown, the cost of a sequel is too high, making this plan difficult to implement, coupled with the fact that the time between the actors is too difficult to bridge each other, and it has been seven years now, I think we can see that the probability of a sequel may be getting lower and lower, but looking back at the first episode, do we really need a sequel?
"Edge of Tomorrow" takes the time cycle as the main axis, depicts the story of the protagonist William Kaiji played by Atang Ge through the time reset ability to constantly find a way to defeat aliens, it sounds nothing special, the time cycle movie we have seen too much, but it is a good evaluation of the movie, I also like it, which means that it has a certain superiority, is it because Atang Ge and Emily starred? Of course, it can be said, but that is only one of them, and the real fun should be its fast-paced and fresh plot advancement.
Although there are many movie adaptations in Hollywood, but to be honest, "Edge of Tomorrow", a movie that has nothing to do with video games, seems to be more competent than some video game adaptations, especially for the part of the time cycle, it can be said to fully show what is S/L Dafa (that is, to achieve a perfect breakthrough through the way of archiving and reading files), because "Edge of Tomorrow" Atang Brother, just like playing video games, every time he dies, he has to start over, yes, in fact, this is very cruel, there are checkpoints in the middle of general video games. But Tang Ge played this level is not, once the failure must all be restarted, which also increases the difficulty of passing, representing that Tang Ge's fault tolerance rate almost to reach 0 to have a way to pass. We can also see the various ways of death of Brother Atang in the early stage, the pain of Brother Atang, people who understand video games will feel the same, and this is where this movie is interesting, it is not so serious, although the plot of the movie is related to the fate of all mankind, but it still has humor and humor, and it will not be bored because it has been repeated, like the "Loop Hunting Order" starring Frank Grillo a while ago, which has the same setting as "Edge of Tomorrow", but the rhythm control is too poor, too much waste of time plot and dialogue, Seeing the back will gradually tire, it is a contrast of failure, and "Edge of Tomorrow" is the overall rhythm of the mastery just right.
But if it is not enough to simply go through the cycle and successfully pass the level to defeat the aliens, so the deliberate arrangement behind let Brother Atang lose the ability to reset the time strengthens the tension of the whole movie and the feeling of fighting against the water, which also makes us no longer able to guess what Brother Tang will encounter in the next second, from the humorous entertainment that can be repeated in the front to the uneasiness of only one chance, such a plot setting will pull the focus of the whole part back to the proposition that the world is about to perish, so the sense of hierarchy is very good.
"Thank you... Take me so far, you're a good guy, Keji, and wish I had the chance to get to know you well. ”
And the final ending we all know, Brother Atang and Emily Brown finally saved the world, Brother Atang finally seems to inherit the ability to reset time, but this time he woke up at the time point is already the time after he successfully saved the world, he will go to find Emily Brown again, but no longer to discuss with her how to save the plan of the world, but hope to "get to know each other well", and so on - this is also Emily's wish to Brother Atang at the moment of death.
Originally these two people did not know or even care about each other, after all, Brother Tang only wanted to crack the cycle of time, and Emily only wanted to save the world through him, but for Brother Tang, all the characters of this day are like NPCs, we may not care about them at first, anyway, you are just the role of running the dragon set with me, but if this person has accompanied you many times and helped you in your life and death, then you will naturally have feelings for this character, and then want to know more about the background story of this character, right? The bond between Brother Atang and Emily is like this, after a series of struggles, the two people have long been friends of life and death, Brother Atang finally returned to the novice village, what he wants to do most now is to sit down with his old comrades to reminisce about the past, although for each other, the memory is blank, but at least Brother Atang knows - those times with you to save the world, very beautiful.
I heard that if there is a sequel, there will be a more complex timeline setting, if it really can't come true, it's not a pity, after all, the ending of the first episode is already very beautiful, although some places may not be reasonable, you may want to ask Brother Atang if he is dead? And why was He resurrected on this day? But is it important to think about these? After watching the whole movie, the focus does not seem to be on the discussion of the cycle of time, so since this is the case, there is no need to be too attached to the output of the sequel, you say?
