All You Need is Kill is a great title because inevitably you remember that one Beatles song and :aaa:

Live/Die/Repeat is an acceptable alternative, but it's kind of blagh.

It sounds like a version of the song the Mirror Universe Beatles would put out.

Edge of Tomorrow was really loving good and also hilarious. It was just the thing I needed to redeem cinema after the brutal slog that was Fury.

They also cut out anything about the actual nature of the enemy, and sorta just... make it a happy feel-good hollywood movie ending.
The original story ends in a distinctly depressing way.
The original just seems to end like most VNs do, so it's fitting.

I was trying to buy the Blu-Ray of Edge of Tomorrow at Best Buy since I had some credit and I guess they're kinda walking the US title to the international one (Live/Die/Repeat), so it got alphabetized there, even though the stickers and stuff all say "Edge of Tomorrow".

Yeah I was about to come in here and say that.
Since Edge of Tomorrow is like the most generic Sci-fi movie title imaginable. (It sounds like a fake working title you give to a major movie to throw people off the scent) they seem to have retconned it's name to being Live Die Repeat for the home market.

I liked the movie. Decent action film, a lot of very funny bits. I liked the cast. And it did the 52 thing of have an excellent ending which in my mind improves the quality of a work of fiction.
(In Edge of Tomorrow case it was have the final song be Love You Again just as he sees Emily Blunt for the "first time". Very well done.)

But for reals, yeah it's a really good movie would definitely recommend a watch.

Primer was also a good and trippy movie and well done for what is i assume a fairly low budget film.

All You Need is Kill is so distinct from Edge of Tomorrow that they might as well be different IPs with the same gimmick. AYNIK has the edge in objective quality (for the ending if nothing else), but Edge of Tomorrow is an extremely solid and entertaining flick. Just watch it.
