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

Product Information

Edge of Tomorrow remains a benchmark for the microchipping of Cruise’s now well-tamed pit-bull nature. Only problem is, as he dies, he wakes up the previous morning right where he woke up after being slipped into the new recruit ranks. If the steelbook itself had just a little more effort put into it this would have equalled some of the Asian premiums.

In a time where we have access to almost anything and information and word on movies is right there, its hard to come by new cult classics. And while the lack of new extras disappoints somewhat, even the boxset itself feels a little more meaty than similar tat-filled editions.Tom Cruise has never had, nor has he really needed, a McConaissance-style regeneration at any point in his privileged career path. Surrounds are light and airy, dancing around the sound stage and allowing the listener to just get sucked in. Calibrated with Calman color calibration software and Portrait Displays C6 HDR2000 colorimeter from Portrait. While some may feel that it’s inappropriate to alter previous audio or video elements, I think we have to consider if those changes are damaging to the original intent. Humanity has come to the brink of genocide, as an alien race, known as the Mimics, have landed on Earth and are doing their best to exterminate the human race.

The mid-range exhibits superb clarity and definition into the higher frequencies without a hint of distortion, allowing the listener to fully appreciate every chaotic detail during battle while Christophe Beck's score enjoys impressive fidelity in the orchestration. Saving her life and slaughtering a half dozen mimics in the process, Rita (Emily Blunt), realizes that there is something special in Cage and asks him to find her when he “wakes up”. struggled to find a way to market Edge of Tomorrow, starting right with the awkward title that was a drastic change from the film’s source material. Speaking of which Emily Blunt knocks it out of the park and holds her own in every scene with Tom Cruise. Updated daily and in real-time, we track all high-def disc news and release dates, and review the latest disc titles.Trying harder to make up for his lack of height in some Freudian sort of way, I don’t know, but whatever it is Tom is still a lot of fun to watch on the big screen. If you don’t know anything about Oblivion – have managed to avoid the more revealing trailers and promotional material – then I strongly recommend you book yourself some tickets and go see it on the biggest screen you can find.

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. This boost in the overall darkness of the film could have caused real problems for its notoriously dark final act, yet the image never felt crushed, nor overtly dense. However, there are a few instances of very mild aliasing along the sharpest edges of several objects, such as Cage's name badge during his first meeting with General Brigham and along the roofs of caravans later on. As would be expected, the beach siege is splendidly layered with a variety of noise bombarding the listener from every direction. Other retailers are also selling this set, the praise should be given to Paramount who released the set.Now that Cage’s blood was infused with the dying mimic commander’s, he now has taken its place in the hierarchy and is resetting the day every time he dies. It seemed like lots of time passed and every now and again I found myself wondering whatever happened to that Tom Cruise/Emily Blunt flick? After being told he’s being embedded in the invasion force that’s going into France as a publicity stunt for the world to see, he balks and tries to blackmail General Brigham (Brendan Gleeson) into excusing him from duty, only to have himself knocked over the head and slipped into the invasion force as a new recruit.
