Edge of Tomorrow [4K Ultra HD] [2014]

Product Information

The sequences that incorporate elements of brilliant light, Cage’s vision of Louvre in chapter 9, for example, were bright enough that I found myself blinking in response. The audio’s low frequency effects are applied authoritatively to underscore the bombastic and aggressive aspects of the presentation and it does so quite effectively. I like the fact that while there are hints of romance within the plot it doesn’t really ever become the focus but remains a contributing factor that motivates. The overall tone of the soundtrack remains one of superb dynamics, with weight in the lower register perfectly married to crystalline detail in the higher frequencies. In his role in “Edge of Tomorrow”, Paxton just chews and chews the scenery in a way that can only be compared to Peter Stormaire, as the over the top Sergeant from Science Hill, Kentucky.

Repeat, seemingly even the studio uncertain as to the name of the actual film now) remains one of the very best blockbuster spectacles of recent years. Hopefully work of mouth will bring this fantastic flick back into the public's eye and redeem it's theatrical sales. I came to the conclusion that this movie needs a second watch, because you start picking up on all the little details that are in play. Humans have one last ditch effort in the form of robotic exoskeletons, which add massive firepower and huge amounts of augmented strength to match the mimic’s incredible power and hopefully win. I never would have paired Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise together, as Emily leans towards light comedies and dramatic period pieces, while Tom is king of the blockbuster role, where he KNOWS (or at least imagines) that he’s king of everything.All disc reviews at High-Def Digest are completed using the best consumer HD home theater products currently on the market. Once on the battlefield things play out exactly as they did the day before, only this time he knows they’re going to get slaughtered. Cruise’s on-screen persona has been repeatedly undercut, his charisma challenged by the extenuating circumstances of the action-movie rulebook. It’s obviously disappointing that there’s nothing new added here, but not expected with the current slew of 4K re-releases. Yet the moment that he dies in gruesome fashion, he wakes up at the beginning of the day, forced to live through it over again.

Compared to the more restrained tasteful bass wave during the opening of Fellowship of the Ring, I much prefer subtlety and nuance over blaring look at me LFE. Specular highlights offer a more noteworthy improvement, furnishing the explosive action with a tighter, more revealing bloom and a snappy, lifelike polish on metallic surfaces while the eerie glow of the Mimics is narrower to expose some of the finer aspects of their bodies.

Rita is great as the straight man (and a gorgeous straight man at that), and Tom Cruise adds his trademark wit and charm to the film, but the real humor addition here is the inclusion of Sergeant Farell. Relive each day and fix the mistakes of the day before, getting them closer and closer to finding this Omega and killing it. I had read the original Japanese Manga that the movie was based on and really enjoyed it, so this was kind of a no brainer that I would be seeing it in theaters, (despite it’s weird retitling to Edge of Tomorrow) even though I was pretty sure they were going to “Cruisify” it. Conceptually speaking there is nothing original about the storyline as its elements surrounding time bending, alien invasion, and man’s fight for survival against a formidable foe have been done before. The script allows every step of this fantastical story to feel lived in, the mechanics allowing Cage to grow, develop and earn the character he becomes.
