Yeah, I know.............ya miss me, but I would really like to discuss the film intelligently so I'm waiting on the DVD so we can get into it - Firefly style.
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!

FROM AMAZON REVIEW: What I like about the book over the movie is it took the time to tell the reader what Mimics are..
On a planet far, far away, a race of highly advance and intelligent beings on an over populated planet sent out nanobots to terraform a distant planet they felt could sustain their life. That planet being Earth.
Upon arriving Earth the ship broke into eight parts while the mothership remained in orbit. 4 parts fell into the sea, the rest on land. All communications from Earth were ignored. After the world's nations finished auguring among themselves it was decided that they blasted the mothership to space bits with missiles. Meanwhile In the depths of the oceans, the machines chanced upon echinoderms—starfish
The nanobots penetrated the rigid endoskeletons of the starfish and began to multiply in symbiosis with their hosts.
The resulting creatures fed on soil. They ate the world and spat out poison. Toxic to earth life but suitable to the beings that sent them. When the machines arrived on land, they concluded that in order to fulfill their objective of xenoforming the planet, they would have to remove the obstacles standing in their way.
That's where the movie starts.
The name change from "Edge of Tomorrow" to "Live Die Repeat" makes it sound like a made-for-TV movie, not a huge motion picture. Talk about a marketing department that has no idea what they're doing.

Thanks for the info. This sounds like the kind of backstory that I've heard Joss relishes. It helps the story make sense.

Only 14min of bonus content?
The VUDU bonus release has well over an hour's worth.
I wonder why Amazon cut so much.

Thanks Moose for the heads up about the Bonus features on Amazon and Vudu. I mistakenly bought the regular theatrical release digital copy from Amazon. Somehow I clicked on the wrong button.
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.
By the way, I read somewhere that the Live, Die, Repeat tagline above the title line was a marketing ploy to rebrand the movie. The studio was disappointed in it's domestic numbers. It grossed $100 Million here, and $258 Million overseas.
I'm not sure why it didn't do better here in the u.S. because each theater I saw it in people loved the film. I believe it will do better in DVD sales, although IMHO, I think it's a much better theater experience.
