I’m still not totally positive what all I’m going to cover, subject-wise, with
Out of Left Field, but I’ve been seeing movies lately, so it looks like we’re
getting another movie post.
I saw Edge of Tomorrow
this past weekend, and it reminded me a lot of Pacific Rim from last year. And I mean that in the best way, as I really liked Pacific Rim; both are rather dark yet exhilarating war films about
alien foes with specials powers (time travel versus being absolutely ginormous)
wishing to conquer earth, and the humans who match that power to fight them
off. Or, you could go with the Groundhog
Day if Punxsutawney was the site of first contact with hostile aliens. Either works.
But one thing I want to focus on was the ending. Despite the
rather dark tone of the film, the ending seems especially “Hollywood”-esque.
For those who haven’t seen it and don’t mind spoilers:
