*Edge of Tomorrow* is a TOP TIER MOVIE!! | First Time Watching! 

"Find me when you wake up" is the best line in this film. When i heard it i immediately knew that this movie is gonna be awesome

Quick ending explanation as I interpret it: The other 'resets' were from the blood of the blue guys but the brain of the omega was still alive. When he got the omega blood on him at the end, the big brain was dead and the reset was more... uncontrolled and the aliens didn't reset with it (they had no unifying brain). The Omega was dead so it couldn't reset. Tom still had the memories (shown by his reset confusion) and when he met Emily's character at the end, the assumption is that he gives her the entire story and he can at least take her out to dinner or something. Happily ever after.

This is definitely an underrated movie. It is probably the most intelligent use of the time travel trope in recent years, and rather than use it as a crutch, it is a fantastically wielded foil that simply keeps you engaged. For me, this is a top tier flick.

Tom Cruise is an enigma. His Scientology puts a LOT of people off, including me, yet, he's an incredible actor, especially in action roles.

To explain the ending: the first time Cruise's character died, it was the claymore vs Alpha scene around the morning of Operation Downfall. The day reset to 24 hours prior each time. In the end, the grenades blew up the Omega and he died along with it much earlier in the morning of Operation Downfall & the blood from it mingled with his as it happened. It reset the day but not the aliens, so it brings him back to the morning of the day before, just before he met the general & tried to blackmail him, so he still had his rank When the blood mingles with his, he has the power to reset the day, not the aliens, which is why he was hunted at the dam

This film is a whole sci-fi film on another level and a great adaptation. Oblivion is another overlooked Tom Cruise movie that is pretty good

Best thing about the movie is the editing. Flows so well and cuts out any fluff - gets right to the point.

This movie's criminally underrated & I hear real good stuff about the Manga it's based on too, also RIP Bill Paxton

"Bloody hell, it's the Full Metal Bitch!" Fun Fact: The soldier that says this and is punched by Emily Blunt, is her real-life younger brother. Historical Allegory Fact: The film was released in the U.S. on June 6, 2014, the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion during World War II. The film shares many similarities to the attack on Normandy Beach. Uniquely, it premiered in two sequential events, designed to mirror the D-Day landings within the exact timeline of the historic event. Lost In Adaptation Fact: In the movie, Rita (Emily Blunt) appreciates having coffee at the farmhouse. This is a nod to her character in the book, who is a coffee lover and had been introduced to coffee at an early age by her coffee addict father. In the world of the book, where coffee growing has virtually ceased because of the Mimic invasion and people drink artificial substitutes, Rita still has some supplies of exotic real coffee beans and her only personal possession is a coffee grinder.

Oh, the more times I see this movie and reactions to it, the more impressed I am with the relationship plot line. The idea that. or cage has spent hundreds or maybe even thousands of days with Rita but she is only spent one day with him is such an amazing structure. He cares deeply for her and is even falling in love with her. It’s completely understandable. From his perspective, they’ve been through so much together. She saved him countless times, and vice versa. He’s been through trauma with her and seen her go through trauma as well. They’ve shared the same goals and missions and values. but to Rita, he’s a guy she met earlier that day. Even when she understands what his experience has been, she cannot have had that experience herself. There’s something so beautiful yet tragic about the situation.

Fun fact. This movie is based on a japanese manga called "all you need is kill". I'd highly recommend it to everyone, even though the story is vastly different from the movie. Its a very dark, psychological story that explores the mental battle of the main character as he becomes more and more divorced from reality with each repeat. He is stuck in the loop for so long, he forgets what his life was like before it. Ive never read anything else quite like it.

I legit prefer this over his other sci-fi movie Oblivion. Tom Cruise doing cowardly yelping and running before becoming a full-on badass is extremely satisfying.

Who doesn't love a montage of Tom Cruise dying for the whole length of a movie?! 🤣

1. The other soldiers don't want Cage to know how to disable his safety because he is untrained, has been given a powerful weapon, and has been thrust into a "stressful situation." Statistically speaking, he was _much_ more likely to accidentally kill another soldier than he was a Mimic. Honestly, I'm amazed they gave him ammo at all - I wouldn't have. 2. My weird, favorite thing to point out: when Cage tries to roll under the truck the first time from pushups and he gets run over, he doesn't die right away. We know this because there was just enough time for Ferrell and the rest of the squad to react to him getting hit. 3. I get why Cage tells everyone to "take a hit for the team" if they're about to be killed by an Alpha, but it actually poses an interesting free will question. Let's say you were the last surviving member of J Squad on that suicide mission and there was an Alpha barreling down on you. If you let it kill you, the mission fails right then and there and Earth is doomed. If you kill it, the day resets, but you have no memory of it - still, J Squad gets another shot at killing the Omega, because Cage would still remember everything up until that point, same as how Rita still remembers all the times she reset the day after she lost the power. So here's the free will part: absent the memory of what you did before, are you doomed to make all the same choices again and thus inevitably fail again? Or, is it possible that you might randomly make a different decision than the one you made on your last run, and thus possibly eke out a victory (implying that free will is indeed a thing)? OR - third possibility - the Mimic's changing strategy _forces_ you to make slightly different decisions than before because circumstances have changed. 4. The ending - I got nothing. I don't understand how the Omega can be dead but a reset still gets triggered anyway. With the Alphas, it made sense: the Alphas were actually meant as trigger mechanisms and what they triggered was the Omega. If the Omega is dead, though, what's performing the reset? Cage? That would imply that all that's needed to do a reset is Omega blood, and if that's the case, then the Omega's...body is one giant tactical mistake. It's big, stationary, and defenseless, like a tree. Why not allow it to move around on its own and/or give it stabby tentacles like the Alphas? UNLESS...what if the Omega _isn't_ what's resetting the day and we just thought it was? What if the Omega is just a Mimic communications hub (relaying signals to ground forces), and something else has the power to reset the day? The Omega might have the same kind of reset-triggering blood as Alphas do because under ordinary circumstances, you'd want to reset when you lose a comm hub. That could mean the Mimic isn't dead and there might be a round 2 to this war.

The thing about why they don't want him to know how to turn the safety off is they realise he's inexperienced and don't want him to accidentally shoot them, which is harder when you can't turn the safety off

The sheer amount of surprisingly well-timed humour throughout this film is the movie's way of communicating to its audience that it knows it's a silly concept and doesn't want to be taken in any way seriously. That's why the ambiguous ending is not only forgivable but actually very fitting. Just the way I interpret things anyway. One of my personal favourites.

The movie is often called: "Groundhog Day with aliens" but that's not a bad description. It absolutely is and is excellent. Without a doubt one of the best Sci-Fi action movie ever. I personally would warmly recommend it to anyone, a must see.

So Emily Blunt tells a story of making this movie. The steel suit exoskeleton that they wear actually in reality weighs like 70 pounds. Quite heavy. And Emily says it was too much for her, that early in filming she broke down in front of Tom crying and whining about she can't do this, it's too much. And Tom just stands there staring at her for a few moments as she's whining and then Tom says "don't be a f@cken pu$$y". And it was so unexpected and hilarious she broke out laughing and it gave her the strength she needed to go on and complete the movie!

Regarding the ending, I think after Cage went back the final time, the Omega died from temporal feedback. Either there can only be one Omega on a planet, so Cage showing up as a second Omega caused the first one to explode, or its death rippled backwards through time due to him traveling back at the moment of its death.

The mimics could have conquered Earth if only they chose Omega's location into a generic building... but they chose the Louvre museum lol

I remember being absolutely blindsided when this movie got announced, I discovered the manga it was based on about 4 chapters into it's run and I was immediately hooked. I adored that story and followed it religiously, hoping that someday it would get an anime adaptation, never expected it to skip that step and go straight to live action. There are certain aspects of the original that I prefer but all-in-all this was an incredible adaptation and a personal favourite movie of mine.

It's a scifi action packed Groundhog Day movie. No, she doesn't have the authority, he has to keep sneaking away, find her, and go through the whole explanation every time.

He was labeled as a "deserter" which, in this case, means he is going into the battle unprepared. The plan was for him to be killed in Operation Downfall because he was basically a coward in the eyes of the soldiers and the General. On a different note, this movie visualizes playing a video game, like Halo on Legendary difficulty, where the story is fixed but you die repeatedly until you memorize the enemy movements for every point of every mission... every second counts... until you beat the game.

One of my favorite movies of the 2010s and it's a close second to James Cameron's "Aliens" as my favorite military sci-fi /space marine movies (it helps that the legendary Bill Paxton is in both). Lot of great scenes in it but my favorite is that montage of Rita killing Cage and the drill sergeant trying to be nice to him afterwards by calling him a maggot (9 years later and it makes me laugh)

Fun fact this movie is based on a Japanese Novel called "All you need is kill"

Groundhog Day meets Aliens meets Die Hard. Doesn't get much more fun than this. Glad you liked it!

RIP to Bill Paxton who sadly died shortly after this film was released. 😟

The omega resets him hrs earlier, I assume it went with what you were thinking of, so he imagined himself before he was sent to the front. To memorise effectively an entire campaigns worth of battle movements, where to stand, shoot etc, would have been hundreds of days, why they were both so good in battle. I'm guessing he fell in love with her, due to spending so much time with her, & the same goes for her too with Henderson, & from how it plays out, he died again when she got injured, passed out & woke up in hospital, without the power. Emily wants to make a sequel.

It’s fun seeing Tom Cruise start off as such a coward in this movie, and then gradually grow into a bad ass over the course of the film, it’s a cool change of pace from his normal roles, and just a cool character arch

This is one of the best Sci Fi movies ever made! Emely Blunt is awesome and of course Tom... this desperately needs a sequel!!

The teary eyes and grin are an indication that how much fun he's gonna have telling Rita Vrataski all the adventures and everything they have been in together and the moment when he will finally reveal her middle name.

The original title for this movie was "Live, Die, Repeat." Also they didn't want to help Cage because they were told that he was a deserter, so most people wont help someone that has a proven recorder of not doing what they should.

Always fun to ask a creator, if they can pinpoint when exactly their opinion of Cruise as an actor changed... because so many of them state they are NOT a fan of Tom on the first couple of reactions, but very very quickly their tune changes and he is like in their top 5 actors of all time. Just setting aside anything from his personal life, he is both an amazing actor and very selective about the movie roles he chooses. Perfect combo to have if you want an extremely successful career.

I know the biggest thing about this film is that it was based on a Japanese light novel, and I get that, but the thing that I appreciated the most is that it served to commemorate the D-Day landings in World War 2. It was even released on their 70th anniversary (a week earlier in the UK). Also, can we appreciate that this film has now become a way of describing Tom Cruise's entire acting career? For his first 15 years, outside of the original Top Gun and Days of Thunder, he wasn't that much of an action star. His dedication to his work has increased by the year since the first Mission Impossible movie in 1996, just like his character here became better skilled with each loop, to the point that he has done his own insane stunts for many years now.

I always find it hilarious when the one soldier straps a Claymore to his chest with the iconic words facing out: "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY" (To be clear: if that thing went off, the soldier would be dead no matter what)

He’s not tearing up.. he’s super happy that she’s alive and he’s going to get to know her now with all their romance ahead. It’s pretty obvious.

Best way to describe this movie... Starship Troopers meets Groundhogs Day. One of my favorite movies by the way.

Hi Vicky!🙂Cage is still a Major. The General just lied about his rank. The ending with Cage has to do with him losing the power to reset the day, then getting it back. His new start point is when he killed the Omega and got its powers. He is now the Omega. Nice reactions to this crazy Groundhog Day sci-fi film, Vicky!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Ending explanation (from what I can gather): The Mimics are 4 dimensional beings that exist across a 24hr period, so killing the Omega in the present killed it in the past.

"Tom Cruise in a mecha-suit" is all you need to know.

Great movie. Other great time travel movies are The Butterfly Effect and Frequency. Also another great Tom Cruise movie which is not reacted at all is the first Jack Reacher movie.

Love this movie. And Bill Paxton is great in it!! RIP

The way i see the ending is that the Omega is actually a creature out of time, basically It exists at all times at the same time, thats what when It died in the "future" It also died in the past. That could explain how they retain memories from the posible futures too

When he died, the Omega blood got into him, meaning that he can now freely control time (without having to die). His memories were certainly intact, and he went back to "introduce" himself to the woman he loved.

What a terrific sci-fi film, one of the best using a time repeating window. Someone suggested watching "Oblivion" & I wholeheartedly second that!! A really unique sci-fi film that I think you'd enjoy. Great reaction, look forward to more.

Here is the thing about snacks during the reaction. We enjoy watching you check out our favorite movies. It's a great time, pretty much why we are all here. Problem is if you don't have snacks then we feel self conscious about eating snacks when we can't really offer to share with you. So if WE ALL are having snacks it's a GREAT TIME while watching a great movie. Make sense? 😁

Fun FACT: this is one of the few good hollywood MANGA adaptations, this one was adapted from: All You Need Is Kill in case you want to read it

It's not really important, but Cruise doesn't get demoted at the start of the film. A US soldier can get put under a foreign commander who controls where he is posted, but his rank is given to him by the US Army and they won't let anyone else take it away. The general just decided that instead of the court-martial Cruise deserved, he would have someone he could rely on write up (false) orders saying he was a private and a deserter, in order to force him to actually fight as a more fitting punishment.

To me the ending means Cage has newly retained the power. So...I like to imagine Cage and Rita getting together after this, having a bunch of kids, growing old, and when Cage is on his deathbed surrounded by his great grandchildren: "I love all of yo--" SNAP CUT He's back on the helicopter 😂 "Hmmm wonder is Nance from J Squad is single...."

I really hope a sequel is made soon. Emily blunt wants to make it but is waiting on Tom cruise

Tom Cruise has four solid scifi films to his credit, and this is one of them. Edge of Tomorrow, Oblivion, Minority Report, and War of the Worlds. He has a fifth scifi movie, but it's not action. It's more of an art film. Not bad, but not what you'd think for Tom Cruise. It's Vanilla Sky. And if you want to see him joke about his Mission Impossible role, try Knight and Day.

Okay here is my explanation, Omega = controls time Alpha = commander Every time an alpha dies omega resets time by 1 day. Tom cruise gets alpha's blood. Therefore Tom is considered commander by omega resulting in the resets everytime he dies. Tom cruise gets blood transfusion so, Tom cruise is not an alpha anymore. And at the end he gets the blood of Omega that has the ability to control time. Not the alpha. So now, Tom cruise= control time, not the actual omega doing it for him. So my theory is, subconsciously he wanted to avoid the war and not see anyone dead especially Emily blunt, changing time further more now that he has that power

This movie is so insane. I don’t know if a sequel is making with the same actors, but I hope that do ❤😊

The ending doesnt really make sense but the rest of the movie is so so good. Really like this one

Love this one. He gets a nights sleep every time. He dies, wakes up, confronted by sarge, meets J squad, goes about his day training with Rita, gets a nights sleep, they launch attack next morning, he dies. Repeat.

My personal theory is that the mimics' blood actually travels back in time and goes back to its host but when the blood is 'transferred' it goes back to the last host, i.e. the person who killed the mimic and got impregnated. Since the human can't control the time travel power, he/she goes back to his/her last time sleeping and the respective mimic just gets drained of blood and dies at the same time. That explains all the times Cage got back to the morning of the invasion but when he finally killed the Omega and the blood tried to go back to the last time he was asleep, it found that slot used by the Alpha's blood, and it goes back another slot to the helicopter. The blood was transferred, the Omega was drained, and it died with all the hive

Boss Level is another fun time loop movie, and they really go all in on the video-gaminess of the loops. Source Code - despite the terrible name - is another good take on the genre.

The book explains it a little differently (SPOILERS AHEAD) When an Alpha (or a human infused with Alpha blood) dies, it doesn’t exactly reset the day. It sends all of their memories of that day back in time to themselves, the day before. They live through it again, then send the next memories back. It repeats until the war is done. So, in the timeline, Cage actually defeated the Omega only once, using the memories of having played through it hundreds of times. Once the Omega was defeated, the repeat loop ended.

RE: Da Choppa: Pretty sure they were at a generational farmhouse and the chopper was the crop dusting vehicle. So, old house, old cars, new chopper. Pretty common to have a mishmash of vintage and modernity in hereditary farms.

By quote from the band the reason why Tool have that name is because they want you to use them as a tool to understand something about yourself. So don't worry if you don't vibe with a song here and there, so long as you pay attention to the lyrics and try to understand the message

Love this movie, I call it Groundhog Day on steroids.😉 Notice how both love interest in both movies were named "Rita", I think they did this as a way to pay tribute and say thanks for the Idea. The happiest ending, Tom Cruise's next line to Rita......"Can I buy you a cup of coffee and tell you how we saved the world".

The Omega realized invading would lead to its death, so it reset far enough back to abort the entire thing with minimal casualties to its forces, and the energy surge was probably from it getting the heck out of dodge by space travel or some such thing.

'How would they not see this on the radars?' Time travel is the mimic's radar...

It’s basic. The omega resets on automatic based on connection with its alphas. In the last seconds Cage reconnected and caused a reset with one last breath from the dying omega.

I just realized that Tom Cruise and the Noah Taylor (Dr. Carter, the science guy who is Emily Blunt's brainy sidekick) were both in Vanilla Sky. That was a trippy movie.

He wouldn’t need food or a rest. Every reset he has completely healed muscles and and abd is fully nourished as much as he are the day before the reset

22:00 "His body isn't resting. He needs to eat and drink and sleep." His body is different every time. I mean, he gets crushed, shot, blown up, but then he wakes up with none of those injuries. In fact, when he wakes up, he was JUST SLEEPING. So each day his new body is fed and rested and ready to go. Soldiers get to eat, so he probably has meals during that day like all the other soldiers. And since his body only has to last one day, or less, he's physically fine each day with his new, well-rested body. The only thing in doubt is if his mind (not brain, but the mind itself) gets fatigued. Since he has all his memories and experiences carried to his new body each day, that means his mind is processing all of this constantly without resting or sleeping in between. That might be a problem. Until we can test mental fatigue in time-loops in laboratory conditions, we may never know.

The thing about the safety is so he won't shoot them or anyone else because they think he might escape or purposely hurt them to get out of it. Something like that, they don't trust him

As a frenchman i can confirm we all have helicopters in our backyards. If we don't have backyard, we put them in the fridge, no big deal.

The obvious way to defeat the Omega, kills a blue, then uses the blue blood to give Angel the power. From there, Tom and Angel recruit others to be given the power until they have an army of time shifters.

"Why didn't they give him pants?" Because he's got to be free. Didn't you hear him? And they don't want him to know how to release his safety because they don't trust him not to hurt them through sheer incompetence. They don't know him, they've been told he's a deserter - so they aren't about to trust him with a working weapon.

This is based on a manga light novel called All You Need is Kill. Took Cruise is called Cage in this, in the light novel the character was named Keiji.

I think there is more than one sensible theory about the ending. We're told the rules that arise and the Omega's role when Rita and Cage have Alpha blood. Nobody knows the rules for when Cage gets Omega blood, except that the Omega remains dead, it triggers an energy surge in the past, and the reset point is earlier. People can come up with a variety of explanations to fit those constraints. We needed to know the Alpha-blood rules because those mechanics drive the narrative, but the Omega-blood rules can remain a mystery without affecting the story.

Fun fact, from what I heard, the actor playing the man that Emily Blunt punches at the beginning of the film (At 8 : 00) would actually be her real life brother! I guess brotherly bickering takes a whole new level with actors :p

Girl in the original comic, Rita fights Cage for the ability b/c she doesnt think he has the chops. He kills her and wears her colors in battle from that point on.

I guess he got the Omega's blood and that reset the day back to the first reset point, the first battle.

Pressing people into military service that'll likely kill them is as old as human civilization, and it's still going strong with no end in sight. Great movie, the light novel was pretty good and as far as films from that sphere go, this is probably my favorite.

Nobody wanted to tell him where the safety was because they didn't trust him. He'd never been in combat and wasn't trained to use the mech suit, so they assumed that he was a screwup who would probably shoot them by accident if they told him how to activate his weapons. When you think about it, Cage is like a gamer who keeps hitting the quickload key until he learns the patterns.

Tom has done several Alien invasion movies: Oblivion and War of the Worlds.

omega tried to reset to an earlier day but it wasnt fast enough while dying. blood got mixed up and the reset happened - but because it was already dying in the "future" it died in the past too.

The helicopter at the farm was probably a crop duster. Having it at the farm would then make sense.

37:57 What explanation do you need? He remembered. And he went to Rita as he had been so many times. He gets a chance for her to know him as much as he knows her.

20:20 "So he's made a game plan." Yes. "And he's training her because that's the most efficient way?" No. She can't remember any of this. Only he can. So he's discussing it with her because she's the expert. Then when they really are on the beach, only he remembers the conversations so he has to tell her everything to do.

It’s implied that cage tells Rita they win and fills her in on how it happen. The omega has the ability to reset time by another day where the alpha can only reset so far back. Cage blows up the omega which at that point the omegas blood interacts with cage giving cage the power that the omega has to reset time even further back. since the omega is now dead, time plays out as normally however technically cage still has the power to reset time. There’s a whole lore with much more context that their are multiple omegas throughout the universe and how the aliens got to earth were from asteroids or meteors entering our orbit. There was a possibility for a sequel at one point but it never got green lit for the script

aww vkunia is so innocent, thinking that aliens have to have been wronged by humanity to want to attack us. I mean they could just be conquerors of the galaxy, bloodthirsty or fight for more land.

37:43 Explanation: ♫ I need to know now, know now. Can you love me again? ♫ (Tom Cruise gained ability from Ω to go back several days. Even in an alien army, decision-making are shared in levels).

They don't tell him about the safety because if he doesn't know where it is then he's so untrained that they think if he shoots he'll be more of a danger to them than the enemy,

This is my favorite time loop movie. It's also a Tom Cruise film in which Tom Cruise tries to be less of his usual characters. Fun Fact-Operation: Downfall was the name for the proposed invasion of the Japanese Home Islands in WWII. It was an unused plan because Japan surrendered after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

unique movie imagine falling in love with someone then being forced to watch them die 300 different ways need a sequel badly. Cinematography potential with this alone is insane enough to warrant a new movie

Quick easy explain for ending . When Cage had the ALPHA power he was considered like and ALPHA to the OMEGA , the OMEGA reset the day as soon an ALPHA dies , But after all that .The Omega reset time like he want , When cage got the Omega blood on him , He was the only one with the power to reset so he did unconsciously to were he was safe and sound , but the omega is still dead because its Cage who did the reset , not the omega . ( Sorry for my bad english , hope it made sense)

Groundhog Day At War is not a movie I ever would've expected to exist but it came out all those years ago and it was incredible No wasted scenes, flow was near perfect, you can tell right away when he starts "skipping" resets, etc. Easily in my top ten

"Why don't they want him to know where the safety is?" Because it's obvious to them that he has no idea what he's doing, so if he can use his weapon he's much more likely to kill them than he is the enemy. They don't want to get shot in the back by a terrified newbie who doesn't even know how to arm his weapon.

"why don't they want him to know where the safety is?" Because he's a deserter. In their minds he's a guy who leaves his comrades behind to die.

Tom Cruise is now the Omega. He has reset the day

they killed the omega before the invasion, so he got put back to a day earlier, but since the omega died, the day was different and he didn't need to blackmail the general (probably didn't even get to speak to him because general was busy with the news that the invasion was not necessary anymore), so he kept his stripes.

The theory is that when Cage killed the blue Alpha mimic, he got covered in its blood and as a result, he got the Alpha's connection to the Omega's power and kept restarting the day without the Omega being aware... Only Cage can remember every restart. However, the Omega sensed after repeated 'restarts' that its power was compromised and dispatched the false vision to draw him out. Rita was killed the same way at Verdun and got covered in Alpha blood and kept restarting the day... only Dr. Carter would believe her story. She got the false vision as well to draw her out, but she was able to win in the battle in Verdun... However, her injury and blood transfusion ended her power to restart the day and she was unable to locate the Omega in her vision. With time carrying on... Rita knew that she would get only one chance to fight at the beach. She discovered that Dr. Carter had been 'sidelined' by military brass when he brought his discoveries forward... Rita meeting Cage at the beach gave her purpose because she knew that someone else w/ the 'restart' power could give her another chance to defeat the invasion and locate the Omega. Of course, Cage and Rita use Dr. Carter's transponder device to locate the Omega in Paris... but Cage loses the power after he is given blood. In the end, Cage detonates the explosives that kills the Omega, but is mortally wounded... The Omega is killed and it controls the entire mimic horde through its Alphas, so the explosion that kills the Omega sends a surge that incapacitates the mimics. But then, Cage absorbs the dead Omega's blood and seizes its power to restart the day... essentially becoming the Omega. Once the day is restarted by Cage one final time, this one takes him earlier than the previous 'restart' point... And since he had killed the Omega and absorbed its power, the final 'restart' results in the Omega 'arriving' dead in the past which is detected by the energy surge from its location in Paris and incapacitates the mimic horde as well... and only Cage can recall all the events of his restarts (Rita can only remember her own restarts). That's my theory anyways.

The manga "all of you need is kill" served as the basis for the script. The ending is more understandable there.

When she shoots him. For her it does not start over. She lives on in a parallel universe where he perma dies. Powerful gift to create so many universes.

I’ve been to the Louvre and they do use mimics for security. Tourists who step out of line, die immediately.

Edge of Tomorrow is definitely a great and underrated movie. But can you believe that NO ONE was in the theater with me when i saw it??
