    Edge of Tomorrow didn’t do great when it was in theatres but turned into something of a ‘cult classic’ years later. I didn’t know what to expect going in but enjoyed it quite a bit.

      Such a horrible title for a decent movie. Then they tried to rename it for home video and just made it worse! It’s like they hired the team that names Microsoft products.

          Other way around. The theatrical release was “Edge of Tomorrow” with “Live, die, repeat” as the tagline. The tagline was more recognizable than the title, so the titled the home release after the tagline. The sequel, if it ever makes it out of development hell, is just going straight for the home release title as “Live Die Repeat and Repeat.”

          The original was called All You Need Is Kill, which also happens to be what the new animated movie is called. I always liked the weird name, but I can definitely understand needing to change it for a wider english-speakong audience.

      I have a problem with that movie: a read the book before seeing it. In the book the story is about a 20ish y.o. soldier, Vrataski is a teen and the ending is completely different.
