Prediction: The Edge of Tomorrow
Shiri’s Prediction: This film presents me with a serious conundrum. It looks awesome. Solid, time-bendy sci-fi war flick with cool armor and explosions. Sort of PKD-ian if on a more grand scale. If anyone else were the male lead, I’d be all over it. Maybe not opening weekend all over it, but definitely in the first couple of weeks all over it. And there are plenty of choices. Norman Reedus, who I hear will be looking for work shortly. Chris Pine. Idris Elba. Bradley Cooper. Stephen Amell. My right butt cheek. But it’s Tom Cruise. And Tom Cruise is a freaking nut. And I get squiggly when I have to look at him for more than five minutes, even for a good story.
Suppose I have a decision to make.
Maybe we can go to the place with ice cream…
Luke’s Prediction: World within in world is it virtual reality, time travel, or something else, and well usually I would be all over this type of movie. But, there is something about this one, either the images looked recycled, or the times they chose were kind of ho-hum or the fact that killing yourself was the way to change time, or the fact that you have Tom Cruise in yet another end of the world mind bending, blah blah blah. In fact, at the starting of this movie all I could think was, this is the PC response to the iPhone clean future of Oblivion. Too soon.
