Really enjoyed the first, just don't see where they'll go with a sequel if they intend on re-doing the 'time restart' angle again, which would make sense that they'd want to as that's what made the film stand out. Was a scifi Ground Hog Day.
I know people rave on that Groundhog Day is a classic comedy but I honestly never got the hype. It was monotonous to watch. The repeating scenes just for a minor gag pay off bored the hell outta me.
Edge Of Tomorrow was fun the first watch but it's a movie I'd hesitate to watch again because of the same factor as G Day.
Same with that Jake G movie & the bomb on the train.
I think the original Manga had an ending that allowed it to continue on, but just remember bits and pieces from a friend's description. Makes me want to see and update of Blue Gender as a film.
Loved the first; I think I've seen it about six times now. Reminded me of Starship Troopers a bit with the fun tropes that they tossed in that kind of make it stand on its own, though it's the characters that pulled it off here rather than the little infomercial film clips. Definitely sci-fi done the right way.

First one flopped. Sad, too, because it was one of the best films of that year. It doesn't need a sequel, either.
It didn't entirely flop. They wouldn't be doing a sequel if it flopped. BoxOfficeMojo
It's apparently currently titled "Live Die Repeat and Repeat." I don't like the re-titling to "Live Die Repeat." Edge of Tomorrow is a fine title, but whatever..
This is apparently old "news," but it's planned to be a prequel...
Let's hope this continues forward...
