Sometimes Americans really aren't allowed around. Not so much with a Tom Cruise movie. Especially one directed by Brown man Doug Liman.
Liman's a great director who's touched everything from the love song of Brad Pitt - the hardest man in show business - to Swingers. (About California transplants sifting through the glory of serial monogamy) {It's the best!}
The Edge of Tomorrow really is a masterpiece that hits hard in the gut and reminds you that Americans, perhaps, do have a point that time-travel is possible if, say, they can convince you that a meeting of species can confuse God, the Universe profoundly.
If a new species shares its lighting concept of everything in such a way as to confuse, perfectly, the Universe itself by coincidentally mind melding a brain that shares time and space but not God as all the aforementioned things perfectly with one that resists it in a uniquely spiritual and, perhaps, lucky - way - then maybe God will play the battle of wits out in his immense test-tube without, presumably, so many inter-planetary meetings as to wreck God's plan? (He'd have to reconfigure matter)
Comparing time-travel to the immensity of the Universe through the miracle of shared lighting - brain - certainly changes things, and it is all shared wonderfully in Jack Malinowski's beautifully ironic 2012 Blogger novella The Lightspeed Documentary. (He pays my ransom money to free me to watch flat-screens in color that speak English so I have to mention that)
The Edge of Tomorrow is a 2014 movie.
Inter-species mind melding that bends space to such an extent as to commodify time it-self was already broached by the 2013 Pacific Rim. (I don't know if Jack Malinowski owns the rites, he only pays for me to be freed to do this and nothing else)
The point is The Edge of Tomorrow really is a masterpiece.
It's too bad Tom Cruise doesn't vividly explain cross-species mind meld as a way to endanger the Universes contiguity and promote reconfiguration of all matter somewhere perfectly to simulate time-travel. He probably could. Tom Cruise's a good man who does good things like star in and produce movies and
fund successful churches in Europe. (Which is truly difficult) The whole movie calls for an adult relationship to science and a hive, military mentality to the truth.
Emily Blunt does explain that Tom Cruise is a good man in the movie by saying so. Perhaps she does this because they share a faith in particle physics which is a science so grandiose it caused me to curse, ''Not another Time Travel movie! That's impossible!''
But Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise's share a respect for a science so profound they'll kill each other just to stay alive and further another time-traveling mission, which doesn't sound so stupid once it's basically explained as a meeting of minds from a dominant new mind with a new dominant hive and therefore a new God and a new organic reality that is related to metal and yet not quite a master of it like humans. So there!
War is hell. Hell might also be a slippery slope going ever so slowly backwards in time from the last thing you couldn't accomplish. But it's probably being banished to a terrible planet by an all-powerful God once having lost to an ugly alien. So we must fight to be harmoniously replaceable and invisible like robots so that unlike robots we may time-travel!
Americans are incredibly scientific and a little bit faithful to their ability to get a possible one on one relationship with God - the definitive creator - and - so far - it's hard to disprove. The Edge of Tomorrow is so bad-ass it could be an entire G.I. Joe comic-book of the future.
