Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Just a mix of Groundhog Day and Starcraft
This movie is pretty poor in deepness (OK it's just more an action movie than real sci-fi) and some dialogues are almost dumb. But hey, it's Hollywood. I used to play Starcraft and I also watched more than once groundhog day, which was a great movie in my opinion, so I see the connection between the two worlds. It's there.
For me it's more or less a computer game connected with the learning process a guy makes repeating the day, than a real movie.
Nothing more.
Everything is moving fast and you don't really have the time or occasion to get into it. But when you start to think about the story line you can't ignore some discrepancies. If you are a coward you want became a tough guy ... it's character not training. But OK let it be. The change of strategy or the dialogues connected with the girl evolves sometimes as like she would remember the day before...but that can't be because it's only him going back.
OK, let's turn a blind eye to it.
The biggest discrepancy is the end.
***** spoiler alarm ******
The end of the movie is non sense pure... Cage was dying but he was still able to drop the bomb to kill Omega, Alpha was not able to stop him. Just to point it out: Cage was able to swim faster the the Alpha alien, but OK. And here it come to the non sense Omega dead, Cage dead, Alpha's blood gives the ability to Cage to go back in time. Cage is just sleeping through the night and wakes up in a helicopter the next day. How is this possible? Who took him out of the water? Why he wakes up the next day with his clean officer uniform?
Omega is dead war is over, all the dead of yesterday are now alive. Whaaat? How is this possible? If you go back in time OK it's logic, but if you skip the night the dead which were necessary to kill Omega are still dead. Otherwise nothing of it real happened and Omega should be still alive. What a paradox. The best part Rita and all the others never saw Cage before (the next day?? Once again who helped to kill the beast?). What kind of parallel universe is this? It's non sense. You can make it so stupid. I don't understand why are all the people so enthusiastic about this movie. Special effects great, acting OK, dialogues poor, paradox story line. 4 of 10 is more than fair.
Il caimano (2006)
bad
*** may contain spoilers ***
In my opinion this was the worst Italian movie I ever saw in my life. The actors were not that good besides Nanni Moretti himself, the worst was Jasmine Trinca, not emotional at all and she have probably some speech disorder too. The stories about Berlusconi, maybe true or not, were in the end the main content of the movie and the main purpose of Nanni Moretti was to scratch the image of this personage. I guess to do effectively so, it's better to make a documentary about him but not a movie. The plot was boring, cursory and sometimes really dumb. I would like to see the movie of Nanni Moretti in the old style and with a better cast, there are plenty of good actors in Italy and everywhere so it is not a problem to find the right one. I saw some low budget movie too and there were by far not that bad as "Caimano" so please Nanni...you can do better...please do better.
