I really need to write a young adult book. Just take what works from all the successful ones and throw them together.

I never ever heard of this movie fault of stars Same. For a movie projected to make $45 million, I thought I would've at least seen a commercial for it.

Probably because it's not being advertised to you. It's the latest in the line of adaptations of young adult novels marketed primarily to the high school/college crowd, females in particular. And the author of the book is pretty prominent on Youtube, so that's another audience that's likely to see the movie (though I'm sure a good chunk are from the first demo I mentioned). From what I've heard, the book is pretty good, and the reviews of the movie are solid as well. I'll probably see The Fault in Our Stars a couple weeks down the road. I want to catch Edge of Tomorrow first, and Chef is coming to my local theater, so I'm probably gonna check that out this weekend.

So is Edge of Tomorrow basically Source Code? Except on how to win a battle rather then finding and stopping the terrorist?

That's the vibe I'm getting from many of the positive reviews I've read. On top of that, it is supposed to have Tom Cruise in rare form. Like good action film Tom Cruise not bad action film Tom Cruise. Plus we get to see Tom Cruise die a lot. Come on the film just sounds really fun.

It's a really weird one, because the reviews for Edge of Tomorrow are actually very strong but there's so little buzz for it at the moment.
We'll see if it springs a big surprise at the box office, but that's surely the worst kind of miss if you're a film studio/marketing company - failing to get an audience in for a genuinely good film. Which is even worse when that's a high-budget genuinely good film.

Well to be fair nobody knows what the movie is about based on the commercials and it looks similar to Oblivion and Edge of Tomorrow is a very generic name for a movie

Well if you look at the bigger picture, word of mouth should spread this weekend and EoT will probably have some staying power since nothing really sci-fi actiony doesn't open after until Bayformers 4 in 3 weeks. It won't hit the top spot, but it'll do well enough.

That's it exactly, the commercials have failed to put across why this is a good film (judging by the reviws anyway) and why it's worth buying a ticket for.
Short of getting the name of the film or the stars wrong on the posters, that's a pretty low level of fail right there.

Hearing the reviews are good and might check it out.
But I think Oblivion might actually hurt this film... Think about it Oblivion while it had some impressive visuals and set designs... Was a very generic and poorly written sci fi film released only a year ago. And it stars Tom Cruise.
I don't remember the box office for Oblivion.. But I'm guessing it won it's opening weekend. Now when people see the trailer for Edge of Tomorrow it's like to them "yeah, it's just going to be another Oblivion"
I know I unfairly joked when i saw the trailer for Tomorrow "didn't this film come out last year?"

Same thing with me. I didn't see oblivion but I honestly thought it was a sequel to oblivion and I was like so oblivion is a franchise now? All the commercials show closeups of Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise with some action with the most generic name for a movie Edge of Tomorrow. Seriously what's with recent Tom Cruises movies with really generic names? Edge of Tomorrow, Oblivion, Jack Reacher, JACK REACHER?

Was just checking the YTD box office so far. Nothing made me happier than seeing The Grand Budapest Hotel will end up with double the money of A Million Ways to Die in the West. A small but solid victory for good taste.

Edge of Tomorrow was pretty damn good. I definitely think it'll have a cult following.
