I was thinking of waiting for the DVD release in Oct., but with the info you gave regarding Vudu, I think I'll get their version. I just gotta work some overtime to get it.

Keep noticing that on my computer, this title is abbreviated as "Edge of Tom" which likely suits other critics here.

I did sidestep one thing before, but can point out that perhaps the Omega had implanted in Rita the idea, the seed of suggestion, that if she were to find another like her, after Omega bled her out, then she should reset the next person as often as possible, so the Omega could localize the next person easier, to set the trap. This way, she wasn't just being masochistic in shooting Cage all the time, it was her responding unwittingly to programming put in her head.
I just realized a couple other things the last few days.
One is, Farrell was an even bigger retard (or more despicably evil, criminally corrupted) than previously mentioned. Cage was on a worldwide broadcast Television interview!!! If Farrell did believe that wad of lies he kept in his pocket - away from any other reasonable person who knew them to be lie - then he must have believed that the UDF found some Private to interview with the worldwide media, explaining and discussing Military tactics, weapons systems, exoskeletons, and combat scenarios competently, and then dressed him up as a Field Grade Commissioned Officer (Major) for the interview. Clearly, Ferrell couldn't get promoted in the US Army with that level of retardation, so he had to jump over to the moronic bumf*ck UDF to get a promotion.

The one place where all men truly share the same rank, regardless of what kind of parasitic scum they were going in. … I envy you, Cage. Tomorrow morning you will be baptized — born again.”
That line is not accident, JSF. It is the theme of the movie! Good lord, open your eyes!
Here you seem to fail to comprehend the concept of levels of portrayals in films.
Have you seen Inception? If so, did you believe anything that Cobb or Arthur told Fischer? It was pretty believable stuff, or they wouldn't have tried it. Those lines were not accidents - but you, the audience, were not supposed to be snookered, so gullible as to be taken in like Fischer - the sensible viewer was supposed to have the full picture, and thus not be so gullible.
Have you seen Galaxy Quest? Did you believe everything that the actors of the cancelled series told the extra-terrestrials? Or what they said in their TV show episodes? Just because they gave cool speeches does not mean that we, a supposedly intelligent audience, should accept as gospel, but should understand were just lines used to move and develop the story. Perhaps you thought they were historical records, just like everything in Edge of Tomorrow.

My Blu-Ray/DVD combo set should be here tomorrow, and hopefully the mail is earlier than usual.

I gotta comment:
First, Cage was not sent to lead anyone, he was sent by the general to "sell" the attack scheduled for the next day.
As far as Sgt. Farrell was concerned, Cage was just another grunt. Yes, he was lied to by the general, who had his own motives, but Farrell was regular army, a stickler for rigid conformity to rules and regs. (As both his speech and subsequent behavior shows). Farrell assumed, from the lie, that Cage went through basic training and was commenting on his character based on that lie.
Truth be told, Farrell's instincts were right on the money, the lie notwithstanding, Cage was a coward, afraid to see his own blood. He was, as he put it, "parasitic scum" and was about to be "baptized." Farrell couldn't care less who Cage was. To him, he was just another grunt, a deserter. Rita, as she discovered who he was, seized the opportunity to use Cage as a weapon to "Win the War." It was Rita who helped to "baptize" Cage and forged his destiny as a warrior, a death machine. It was Rita who inspired Cage. Each time he was reset, he learned more about himself, about J Squad, but ultimately about Rita which gave him purpose.
Farrell's statement was point blank on the money, regardless of what lies he was told about Cage. That's what he believed in, that was a part of him, as much as his mustache and sergeant stripes.

Tell you what else JSF: instead of getting into some silly "I'm right, no I'm right" here, let's wait until the DVD with all the extras comes out. Let's watch the commentary and such, and then let's see what the writers, directors, and actors have to say about the arc of TC's character.
What do you say?
In case you are interested, I'll try to explain some things.
Also, if using films and screenwriters as accurate comprehenders of military such as the ludicrous Few Good Men as our standard, then don't read further and stay in the fantasy world.
Do you think that a doctor, an MD, should be placed in command of a combat battalion? Even if he is a Colonel? Even if he has never attended War College or Potential Command Course? If he were, his battalion would be massacred at the first exchange of fire. He is not trained for the combat, he has been trained for the medical application of his talents and knowledge. Do you think military personnel respect him less because he is not "earned" rank, as you imply? The combat injured would much rather have a War College graduate without a smidgen of medical training cut him open and repair his insides? A person would have to be insane to suggest either.
MDs are not placed in command of combat units, infantry units, tanks, air or sea squadrons unless they are separately trained for those tasks and commands. That would be disasterous for all concerned, and the military would fail along with the government behind it.
JDs are not placed in command of combat units for the same reason, yet doctors and JAG officers raise in rank. Those are earned rank, regardless of what you wish to claim.
Magor Cage was not trained in combat tactics, techniques, strategy, just like JAGs and Medical Officers are not, unless they specifically pursue those courses. He has no business being in command of any size or level of combat unit, as the criminally despicable General assigned him to be, at least until he has had some training and experience at command, yet he has earned his rank.
The reason the Sgt said all that was because he had been given a stack of lies, a frame-up of a deserter profile, which had no basis in fact. He was lied to about the training and capabilities Cage had, although he had not had any.
Any reasonable person should be able to understand this.
If I was not clear, please point out what I didn't explain.

Oh, you explained your fantasy quite well, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the movie. Cage was never in command of any kind of combat unit.
How do you make this stuff up? Have you actually seen the movie?
Anyhow, I haven't gotten the DVD yet. Hope to make it to the store tonight.

Here you posit a quote from me.
This quote is from one post I made on 8 July.
Film came out around 7 June.
It was no longer showing by 8 July, and I had not seen it again in about 3 weeks.
Edge of Tomorrow was not available at my local budget theater again until around 4 August.
Yes, as I had already stated, some of my recollections were faded and/or fuzzy - particularly the parts which made so much sense to me that I did not fathom how delusional and confused you would be about the subject matter and portrayal on screen. The parts I had focused on were the parts which I had not fully caught the first time or 2 - not the reasonable parts which so confused you into surreality.
After seeing again, I realized that Brigham had assigned Cage to COMMAND the filming unit amidst COMBAT OPERATIONS and while embedded among COMBAT UNITS performing Amphibious Operations on the beach, but not to command the combat units. I did not choose to retroactively edit my prior posts, because the is the path of the smarmy weaselly rats of libtardism, not those who stand by what they had said.
Is that all? You shoot your wad now?

Obviously we both have a hankering for movie-buff debate, it's just a month away.
One thing's for sure we both like this movie and the great potential for great storytelling in the future. Plus the fact that there's not much else, maybe Guardians, worth discussing.
Be patient grasshopper!

One thing is certain, EoT is a keeper and my new "Matrix."

this thread feels so lonely
still lonely.
But DVD release date is set for October 7th.
So have you given up?
Or just too embarrassed by what you've realized?

Its amazing how you can take your being completely wrong - and think it speaks poorly of someone else.

I should have mentioned, You didn't bother bringing up all your wacky ideas until July 7 in this thread, so I was trying to recall from weeks before when I saw the film.
