Megazver posted:So it's a training simulation, right? Throw in some random rear end in a top hat, have him die and die and die until he learns how to not die, then he wakes up and it's time to send him into the killing fields for real. And Blunt is the simulation's version of Clippy. Spoilers for the book: he's actually dying for real every time. It's an ability the invading aliens have which is why the humans are losing the war. The main character manages to kill one of the Groundhog Day aliens while in direct contact with it and the ability rubs off on him

And Blunt is the simulation's version of Clippy. In the novel, the hero was a fresh-faced recruit in the military (pretty much all the surviving armies were merged into one after the invasion by the Mimics started), who gets caught in a timeloop after dying immediately in his first battle. The loop sends him 30 hours before his death, and it turns out he'd hijacked a loop that the Mimics had been using which had allowed them to re-do losing battles over and over until they won. After failed attempts to exit the loop via desertion and then suicide, Kiriya ends up becoming a grizzled, supremely skilled warrior by amassing extraordinary amounts of combat experience by fighting the same battle over and over and over again.

I hate that color grade so much. The rest of the movie looks interesting, but the magenta skin and cyan everything else is so unappealing to look at.

Yoshifan823 posted:I mean, it's not like Tom Cruise ages like a normal human being either. That fucker finally looks like he's in his thirties, and it only took 50 years to get there. Have you seen Ralph Macchio recently? There's somebody who has basically stopped aging and he doesn't have Cruise's massive wealth as an excuse.

 I had high expectations, but Edge of Tomorrow looks really good. Even though we just got a Groundhog Day esque movie with Source Code, this look drat good. I'm a huge fan of time travel movies and this looks like it will satisfy that itch.

When did SciFi-action become the exclusive property of "video games"? Not trying to pick on anyone in particular, but it's a refrain I keep seeing in response to this trailer.

I imagine that if Tom Cruise ever does die, he will look perfectly normal and then his body will basically reenact what happened to the bad guy in The Last Crusade where he just turns to loving dust. That said, that movie looks loving awesome. I liked the hell out of Oblivion so looking forward to another Scifi movie with him in it.

Think Ender's Game queens. edit: also if you liked Mr. and Mrs. Smith and The Bourne Identity I'm pretty sure you'll like this. Those movies had their detractors but I thought they were fun as hell and so is this. They're still filming the backend and undergoing monumental VFX work so I haven't seen the finished product but I enjoyed the hell out of it. I am positive I'll see some people angry about changes from the book but when you change a young asian soldier into a middle-aged American military marketing strategist some other things will inevitably have to change. kiimo fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Dec 12, 2013 |

In the novel, Vlataski explains to Kiriya that there's always one Mimic in each platoon or battalion that is in the time loop that is subtly different. As long as there's that one Mimic that is locked into the time loop, then the aliens can basically get infinite do-overs until they get it right. There's nothing that makes them stand out, but there's something "off" about that one particular Mimic. At the start of the novel, Kiriya manages to kill that one alien which results in him taking over the time loop before eating a bullet.

Looking up the movie on imdb, it says: "First film since 'Following' (1998) of director Christopher Nolan not to be filmed by Wally Pfister. Instead, Pfister went on to do his directorial debut with Transcendence (2014). Nolan hired Let the Right One In (2008)/Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)'s director of photography, Hoyte Van Hoytema, to helm the cinematography for Interstellar." This makes me even more excited. Pfister's work on Nolan's films is generally great, but LtROI and TTSS are simply beautiful.

Most things that are labeled teasers now are full blown trailers that may leave a bit of the story out or whatever, but are still full trailers. This was definitely a teaser.
