Edge of Tomorrow is sold like most action movies. Insert villain, either alien, robots, or dystopian dictatorship, from there you need a unlikely hero. This is someone who is living below the radar but one day something happens that changes their life forever. They get a super power, have a unique set of skills because if their life, or realize they've been born with abilities that could change the world. They're paired with a reluctant hero who's been fighting for peace and slowly and begrudgingly earn their approval.
This story could be Neon Genesis Evangelion. Kaiju No.8. Independence Day, Monster Hunter International or any of them. Note, this is not a bad thing, but it is important to recognize this story outline has been done, and you need something unique to make the story work. Each of the stories above has an element that sets them apart.
For Edge of Tomorrow it is the simple concept of what happens if our Main Character died, and woke up that morning. What does this do to the story? And what happens once that is taken away?
