Edge of Tomorrow

The movie is very exciting, and the story should be considered first-class, but logically, I always feel that it is not set well. I always have a strange feeling that it is unreasonable and too buggy.

——I read someone else's one-word micro-review earlier, and everyone came up with a meaning: This is a customs clearance game. You must repeat the strategy to know where there are enemies and where there are traps. In this way, you can complete the customs clearance perfectly.

Although the end of the movie does not end with "clearance", but the magical skill of allowing the protagonist to obtain countless lives begins to "dominate the world" - intention.

And I think the setting is not good: the place where the hero wakes up is the place where the "game starts", but after all, you are not a game, you are a movie, you set the place where you wake up as the place of rebirth, the reason what is it? Why can't it be before or after waking up from the dream? So, I also got a hypothesis. Suppose the male protagonist lived for a year and died unexpectedly a year later, did he start again before going back a year - it's like playing the game for 24 hours, accidentally hung up GAME OVER and failed to save, no Do not start over. If it is, then the male protagonist is estimated to be exhausted, his spirit will collapse, and he will go crazy; if it is a game, I may crash and stop playing. If not, what is the setting of "rebirth"?

In the film, the actor said that he was baptized by alien blood, and he had to repeat it all the time. In other words, he couldn't live on the third day, just like the DVDs in the past, the discs were spent, so a certain segment in the movie was played repeatedly, and he couldn't get through. That this keeps repeating means that the whole world goes back together with the male protagonist into a certain time-space tunnel, or does it mean that it is just the male protagonist's spiritual world that keeps repeating. And the world outside his spirit is still going on!

----------
This story is absolutely amazing. The Japanese always have some strange ideas, and they are not limited to the original world at all. It really is a multidimensional country.

In other words, what we are watching is an adapted script, how the original story is set, a movie may not be able to fully express. Therefore, for this film, I will no longer pursue those strange settings that seem to exist, and just enjoy the perverse plot.

PS. There is a point to complain. The version I watched is already the 720P HD version. There are two wonderful dark night scenes in the film, especially the last duel scene, which is too dark to see clearly.
