I keep hearing over and over again that this movie is "fucking awesome".
Edited: Saw it, and it was fucking awesome.  |

I never saw it in 3D, but I thought it was fucking awesome.
Basically, it's Groundhog Day meets Battle Los Angeles. What's not to like?!

It was decent entertainment. I enjoyed it.
It reminded me of a video game. Play, die, reset... |

I'm beginning to feel 3D is overrated. It's alright and kinda cool but after a while of watching 3D, i dont even notice it anymore. Not sure it's worth the price.
But, I liked the movie. it was entertaining and pretty cool. |

I watched it yesterday. I liked it. I have only one functional eye, so 3D would probably just give me a headache.

IMHO 3D is wasted on a movie with too much action for the eyes to be able to focus.
It works best in slower movies where the visuals are able to stand out. TRG |

I saw it in 3d at the theater and thought the 3d was well done.
There is one specific split second scene early on showing a Mimic about to attack that stuck in my mind as a particularly good example. As close as I have ever come to jerking away from a 3d movie screen. I saw it once in the theater and then rented it On-Demand this weekend. It's a deeper movie than I realized at first. The science aspect is shaky. But it's not a Science Fiction movie in the sense that the technology is the focus. The progression of Col Cage as a fighter and a person is the focus. Pay special attention to his conversations with Sgt Vrataski as he repeats (both shown and implied) them with her. |

I really liked the movie. Definitely recommend it in whichever dimension of your choice.
Side Rant: I hate going to theaters, mostly because I hate people who don't want to see the movie. They would rather talk, text on a bright-ass smartphone, or blow each other. It disrupts my cinematic experience. 3D is a technical annoyance, but it does provide a financial filter. It provides a modicum of insulation for the the folks that want to see the movie, versus the twats that are just trying to spend two hours in the dark, fucking up everyone else's good time. Best, JBR |

That why it works so well as a partial homage to Groundhog Day (and presumably the reason the female lead is called "Rita"). The main character goes from being a disgusting selfish weasel who only cares about himself, to being someone who is willing to sacrifice everything (after he loses his reset ability) for others. Groundhog Day is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I love what Edge of Tomorrow did with the concept. |

Edge of Tomorrow was a great movie. The story manages to progress just at the point things get tedious, every time. Groundhog Day got that right as well which is why these movies work.
3D would not help this movie much and might be a distraction. The only movie I've ever seen where 3D was integral to the experience was Gravity. That movie was deliberately light on story and heavy on visuals so 3D made sense. For any movie driven by characters and story... Meh |

That is typically how we do it honestly, I'm getting too ornery to deal with anything approaching a crowd. But it's a guarantee that my wife and I can be the only people in the theater and have some late arrivals come in and sit right beside of or behind us. Same thing occurs in restaurants and parking lots as well, I'll never understand what compels people to desire this level of closeness when there are a vast number of empty seats to choose from. |
