Really? I just read on reddit where it did amazing/stellar internationally.

GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

Its sad that it had a horrible weekend but its an amazing movie..

One of the best I have seen in a long time.

Saw this tonight. The big beach battle scene wide shots are immensely impressive. The concept is really good and the editing is great. I especially like when he decides for 1 day to sneak off and not take part in the invasion.

Only let downs are the alien CGI is pretty awful. Reminded me of that film in Moscow with the aliens made from energy. Forget what it was called. The ones in this are basically a fleshy version of them.

The minor parts are also filled by generally the worst actors you can possibly imagine. Their accents are just terrible.

The Darkest Hour (2011).

Given the solid reviews it's gotten, I should be willing to give it a chance. Maybe I just have Tom Cruise fatigue, knowing that continued money from his films just fuels his crazy Scientology lifestyle. He's in his 50's now, he should be taking on more elder statesmen roles.

Despite doing better overseas, it looks like this is going to get trampled under the mass of summer releases to come.

Anything written by Christopher McQuarrie is good by me!!
Writers often go overlooked. this dude wrote the usual suspects, and wrote/directed Way of the Gun and Jack Reacher

Really looking forward to seeing this one, can't wait til it comes out on DVD.

Do these kinds of threads usually have spoilers, I was hesitant to read through the other posts ..

We use spoiler tags to hide the text.

Just saw this and Yes. Way Good Movie. Only complaint is that it suffered from a case of the Dark WB"s there at the end. But yes. 2nd Fave Summer Movie after XM: DOFP. Way more fun then Godzilla.

(which also suffered from a case of the dark WB's)

Saw this yesterday night. Terrific film, probably my favorite of the year.

8.8/10

I am more excited for this since Jupiter Ascending is taken off the summer docket.

Yeah, I didn't like the whole design and concept of the aliens. A more menacing and straight forward design would have been much better. Definitely hurt the movie to me.

What does Jupiter Ascending have to do with anything? And Edge of Tomorrow came out a long time ago..

I fcking loved this movie.

If a human being can enjoy Transformers Then there is no reason why all of those same human beings aren't enjoying this movie. The movie gives just enough to justify there being a movie, it states limits and consequences and abides by them. That's more than i can say for most (big budget) sci-fi / action movies i've seen of late.

Hush, silly boy.

I fart in your general direction.

It's a good movie but I also think wouldn't stand up to multiple viewings.

i never re-watch tom cruise movies.. i'm scared that the scientology will rub off on me.. then again, i don't have the money to buy the thetans required..
