I am not a Tom Cruise fan at all, but on a whim I decided to rewatch this movie. I was pleasantly surprised by the rewatch.
I remembered that the movie started with a bang and was doing great until Cruise and Blunt got to the farm house then it stalled.
That was not my experience this time around. This was a really fun movie. The production values were top notch, the action was spectacular and the movie did a really good job of sticking to its logic. I also really loved the mech suits. I list this as the best use of a mech suit in a movie with District 9 and Avatar as a close second and third.
It’s a great movie with a terrible name and bad marketing. Definitely holds up
Also the end credits has a Take That song that doesn’t even vaguely fit the tone of the movie, because cross-promotion synergy I guess?
The book’s english title was All you need is kill .
Live Die Repeat was the name the Director wanted to use for the movie.
I don’t know why the naming is so… bad
All you need is kill, is getting an anime adaptation.

Which is just going to further confuse people who didn’t realize they have already watched Edge of Tomorrow and know the whole story, probably.
There is a lot different for the story in the movie version.
The ending is very different for one.
They made a much happier ending in the movie
Plus, watching a new movie with basically the same story go over all the plot points and give you a sense of deja vu will really add to the experience.
I remember this movie being advertised at one point under one name before the name switched to Edge of Tomorrow. So anybody that wasn’t paying attention could have easily missed the name change.
Live Die Repeat was the tagline on every (maybe not every) poster and it was often the largest text on screen, maybe you’re remembering that?
It was a very early teaser trailer in theaters. No mention of Edge of Tomorrow, no mention of All You Need is Kill. Just a short trailer showing a setup of an action movie with Tom Cruise with Live Die Repeat. Probabaly a good year out from the theatrical release.
