This not being a box office hit has nothing to do with Cruise - he remains a big box office draw. Timing and poor marketing hurt this one.
It was a great movie...until the end. Now I'm hoping I'm missing something and the ending is actually very clever - that's a distinct possibility. But the more I think about it the less I understand it, which is never a good sign for me. I figured this was the right group to ask...
I really like the overall concept - the 'generals' dying makes it possible for them to reset time. Brilliant, since when one of the important guys dies it must mean a battle is going particularly badly, and they need to reset. I also like the idea that their greatest strength is also a weakness in the right situation, since that's actually true a lot of times. So every time Cage dies, he returns to the morning of the day before he dies. Got it. The last battle is fought to the destruction of the 'brain' baddie the night before the morning of the big battle, and he gets bled on again with the special goo, which means he once again returns to the morning before the day of his death, backing him up one day to when he was on the helicopter. I have no problem with dawn being the start of a day. Got it so far...
But why does the explosion in Paris still occur that night without him and the others doing it? And why doesn't that bring everything to an immediate end, stopping all the aliens just like it did when the explosion occured the first time? Is it supposed to imply that somehow Cage has reset the timeline to a situation where the aliens don't know about the big operation any more, and that they would win this time? But if they kill another special alien, it will just start all over again...and why would they mention the explosion in Paris? Doesn't Cage have to get a blood transfusion pronto to avoid starting all over again when he dies? What am I missing?
I'm hoping the ending is more creative than I'm seeing...but otherwise a great flick. Excellent acting, great dialog, and like a lot of others have said, way funnier than I expected.
It's not trendy and was doomed to fail at money-making.this movie was great, but it no longer surprises me when good movies don't make big bucks...
