No, I quite enjoyed that.
True, it didn't really have any characters, and it's probably the only film I've ever seen that replaced any plot at all with what was basically an extended level from a video game, but it was fun to watch in a ridiculously overblown kind of way.

I saw this last night. Wasn't really impressed. Just another movie with a scifi plot and setting for a fairly ordinary action movie.
The superhero movies turned out great (at least for me) so far this year. Winter Soldier is surprisingly clever for a summer comics movie and I haven't seen movie with such perfect pacing as Days of the Future Past in a long time.

Hm...The trailer seemed interesting (until some stuff near its end), and the synopsis also was interesting in my view. And i like L. Fishburne. But i am not getting my hopes up.

I was really looking forward to it, since it looked great and I loved District 9, but it was a disappointment.

Well, Edge of Tomorrow looks mildly interesting. Its biggest drawback is the presence of Tom Cruise, which is normally enough to make me avoid watching a movie, but I understand that we'll be treated to seeing his character die repeatedly in the movie, so there's that.

We might not know, but that blue hottie is a rather familiar redheaded hottie for a lot of us.
I try to ignore the new reboot as much as I can.
Although i like some of Keitel's roles, i think this won't be a good movie (looks way too much like Satoshi Kon's 'Paprika' as well) :
Link to video.
Might work, but the trailer itself does not show much beyond a basic (but interesting, BUT not original) premise about cloning and consciousness.
The animated parts look close to that drawing style of MTV's animation Aeon Flux, very influenced by Egon Schiele's paintings.

At extreme odds, Jonas knows that he must escape their world to protect them all - a challenge that no one has ever succeeded at before.

For a brief, slightly disturbing moment, I thought it said "erotic and deadly cyclones."
