Good day , today I going to explain the ending
of the film The Edge of Tomorrow so
If you haven't seen the movie please leave now
and come back after you have seen it
and we can discuss this ending here
to understand why at the end Tom Cruise comes back as a Major
rather than as a demoted Private
in the last loop
we need to make sure we get
the 3 basic rules of
time looping day resetting which are explained
by the character Emily Blunt
to Tom Cruise in the movie, the first one
is you get this gift when you kill
one of the Alpha Aliens
which is the blueyish creature. There are 3 types
of aliens, there is the brain which is called Omega
and it is only one
there is the Alpha which are put it in strategic
location and when they get
killed then the day is resetted automatically
there is the red one which are the soldiers
which are numerous and those are the ones who does the main
damage they are called "Mimics"
because they adapt to the strategy
of the humans because they reset the day
every time they fail, every time one of this Alpha gets killed they reset the day
and they does better next time, so when
Tom Cruise killed one of this Alpha, he gets
in a body to body contact which he did in the first outing in the
Beach he get this blood from the Alpha
and he got this gift which Emily Blunt told him , that's the second rule that
one specie can have it
in particular time so when
Tom Cruise got it he was the only one allowed
to reset the day when he get killed
the last rule is
because this is an Alien blood if for some
reason a transfusion
or he start bleeding out, he loses all
Alien blood in his system
or most of it the he loses the power
and the power goes back to the Aliens, so these are the 3 basic rules
okay so once
down fun Tom Cruise killed the Alpha
in the first outing, he gets the power and starts
these time loop
reset day every time he gets killed
and we see in the movie a lot of iterations
with this time looping day
exactly as the "Groundhog day"
but in one of these iterations
Emily Blunt told him that they need a device which is in the general's office
to connect
to him and his Alien blood to locate
the position of the Omega
and they do that
and then they in this process
in one of the iterations to get this device
the last one he (Cruise) get wounded and
he lost a lot of blood , all this Alien blood
and that end he loses the gift (to reset time) and when he loses the gift
he's out of that particular time
looping day and then he
is without power so
there is this day and then they realize that the
Aliens now have the power and
they know the location now of the Omega
which is in Paris but they also know
if they kill one Alpha
the Omega can reset the day again
so they can not do that so
he goes with Emily Blunt and
squad, the convinced the squad to go after the Omega
and in the process he (Cruise)
kills the Omega
very close in this process
Tom Cruise gets again
the Alien blood
and in that process he gets
the gift again but now is in
different loop because they actually killed the Omega
before the invasion in the beach
so a lot earlier, so when the time loop day
now is a lot earlier than before
so that's the reason why it's resetted , he now
wakes up as a Major
because it happened right before he was demoted to private
in a conversation with the general So there you go
that's the reason the last time loop
he (Cruise) comes back as a Major which makes
very cool because now he can repeat the day
and also conquer Emily Blunt
heart because in the process he get to know Emily Blunt but Emily Blunt
didn't actually get to know him
he always had to reset the time so
it was very cool ending although some people didn't
understand it and that's the reason
I made this video and we can discuss it
further in the comments down below
until next time Bye!
