extraterrestrial monsters time travel
0:03
and one very long day Edge of Tomorrow
0:06
has a deceptively complex story and an
0:08
even more complicated ending here's what
0:10
it all means
0:12
understanding the ending of Edge of
0:14
Tomorrow requires you to pay pretty
0:16
close attention from the beginning
0:17
because what the mimics are doing gets
0:19
explained pretty early on and it goes by
0:22
fast according to Dr Carter a mimic
0:24
biologist the mimics are really like one
0:27
giant interconnected organism the larger
0:30
Alpha mimics act as the central nervous
0:32
system and command the mimic drones
0:34
these high-ranking Alphas then return
0:37
information to be processed by the
0:39
central
0:40
Omega mimic each time an alpha dies the
0:43
Omega rolls the clock back 24 hours
0:45
keeping all of their Collective
0:47
knowledge intact and enabling the mimics
0:49
to adjust their strategies in order to
0:51
gain a definitive Victory while the
0:53
alphas seem to be the decision makers of
0:56
the mimics dictating the actions of the
0:58
drones and determining their strategy
1:00
Carter hypothesizes that since the Omega
1:03
essentially functions as the brain of
1:05
the mimics the only way to stop the
1:07
invasion is to destroy it the problem is
1:10
that thanks to their powers the mimics
1:12
know about the military's biggest
1:14
weakness and they have a lot more
1:16
experience than cage and vertasky in
1:19
using their time Loop abilities to their
1:21
advantage so they're pretty Adept at
1:23
keeping the Omega safe and hidden
1:25
there's a whole juicy prequel just
1:28
waiting to be made in the story of Rita
1:30
vertesky and the Battle of Verdun which
1:33
we hear about in bits and pieces but
1:34
never see from what we learn at the
1:36
beginning of the film The Human battle
1:38
against the mimics dragged on for five
1:40
years before the United Defense Force
1:42
finally claimed their first Victory the
1:45
offensive was led by Sergeant vertesky
1:47
who was later nicknamed the angel of
1:49
Verdun the popular version of the story
1:51
is that Rita led the UDF troops to
1:54
Victory due to her abilities as an
1:56
exceptional Soldier but the truth is she
1:58
had another advantage that no one knew
2:00
about she was living in a Time Loop the
2:03
first time bratasky fought the Battle of
2:05
Verdun she was killed but similar to
2:07
what would later happen to cage when
2:09
Rita died she also managed to take an
2:12
alpha with her and their blood mingled
2:14
together as they both died but instead
2:16
of staying dead Rita woke up a day
2:19
before Verdun she lived out that battle
2:21
over and over gaining a bit more ground
2:24
each time before she died after several
2:27
resets Rita started experiencing visions
2:29
of the Omega and she attempted to
2:31
interpret them in order to destroy the
2:34
brain and defeat the mimics once and for
2:36
all but in the course of finally leading
2:38
the UDF to victory over the mimics she
2:40
was badly injured and received a blood
2:42
transfusion without the mimic blood she
2:45
lost both the looping ability and the
2:47
visions
2:48
the first time cage was dropped into the
2:51
middle of the battle in France he had no
2:53
idea what he was doing he didn't even
2:55
know how to turn off the safety on his
2:57
gun yet he managed to survive through
2:59
sheer luck however cage eventually wound
3:02
up alone and on his back surrounded by
3:05
mimics including a giant blue-tinged
3:07
Alpha in desperation cage grabbed for a
3:10
UDF incendiary device lying beside him
3:13
on the ground and fired it off right as
3:16
the alpha lunged for him while the
3:18
resulting explosion was powerful enough
3:20
to blow up the alpha it killed him as
3:22
well as cage died the blood of the alpha
3:25
dripped into his open wounds passing
3:27
along its link to the Omega and giving
3:30
cage the same time traveling ability the
3:32
alphas have as with the alphas his
3:35
Consciousness was knocked back 24 hours
3:37
in time since the invasion had taken
3:39
place in the morning he woke up on the
3:41
preceding morning when he first arrived
3:43
at the Heathrow military base when you
3:46
kill that Alpha you inadvertently
3:47
entered the enemy's nervous system
3:50
once cage and bratasky start working
3:52
together Rita preps cage for what to
3:54
expect he'll keep looping over and over
3:57
and eventually start experiencing
3:59
visions of the Omega when that happens
4:01
the two of them can use Cage's Visions
4:03
to locate the Omega and destroy it when
4:06
Cage's visions do start he's able to use
4:08
architectural Clues to narrow the
4:11
omega's location to a dam in Germany
4:13
Cajun potaski spend countless Loops
4:16
attempting to get from the beach in
4:17
France to the dam in Germany but once
4:20
cage finally reaches his destination
4:21
he's horrified to realize the Omega
4:24
isn't there after all it turns out that
4:26
his Visions weren't a glimpse into the
4:28
omega's Consciousness but rather a
4:30
carefully laid trap the Omega showed him
4:32
exactly what it wanted him to see cage
4:35
is greeted by an alpha and a drone with
4:37
the Omega nowhere to be found while
4:40
previous mimics have killed cage the
4:41
instant they get a chance these mimics
4:43
seem to have something else in mind
4:45
instead of ripping him apart the alpha
4:48
wounds cage giving him a deep gash that
4:50
bleeds profusely cage realizes that this
4:53
is the mimic's true plan to lure him
4:55
away from his allies and then steal back
4:57
the power kept in his blood although the
5:00
visions of the dam in Germany proved to
5:02
be a red herring the Omega was still
5:04
hunkered down in Europe just in a
5:05
different country after Cajun vatasky
5:08
stopped relying on his Visions to lead
5:10
them where they needed to go they
5:11
managed to locate the Omega through a
5:14
different method using the direct link
5:16
between the Omega and Alphas to pinpoint
5:18
its location
5:19
ultimately the real Omega is located
5:22
deep beneath the Louvre in Paris France
5:24
when cage vertasky and the Rogue J Squad
5:28
arrive at the famous Museum they
5:30
discover that the area is flooded by the
5:32
same river with the Omega located
5:34
underwater the entire region is in
5:37
disarray following the mimic attacks on
5:39
Paris and the resulting floods
5:41
so while normally there's no water
5:43
underneath the Louvre in this decimated
5:45
world cage has to swim the final
5:47
distance down to the Omega
5:49
after realizing that the Visions are not
5:52
a road map to the mimic's greatest
5:53
weakness Cajun vatasky are forced to
5:56
reevaluate their strategy to destroy the
5:59
Omega they decide instead to resort to a
6:01
piece of technology Carter started
6:03
developing when Rita was the one caught
6:05
in the loop Carter was never able to
6:07
complete this transponder since for
6:09
taskey lost the ability to loot before
6:11
they could test it on her and Carter
6:13
subsequently lost his job and had his
6:15
research confiscated by the UDF after
6:18
getting fired it appeared that Carter
6:20
tried making a new transponder but he
6:22
told vertaski it didn't work so instead
6:25
they had to acquire Carter's original
6:27
device which was kept in a safe and
6:29
general Brigham's office while the
6:31
mechanics of the transponder are left a
6:33
bit fuzzy it works by making contact
6:36
with the blood of an alpha through which
6:38
it establishes a link to the Omega and
6:40
determines the creature's location since
6:42
Cage's blood has the same properties as
6:44
that of an alpha britasky was able to
6:47
use the transponder on cage which is how
6:49
they determined that the Omega is in
6:51
Paris
6:52
according to vertaski the Only Rule cage
6:55
must abide by while he Loops is that if
6:57
he's injured he has to make sure he dies
7:00
this is the Only Rule
7:02
you get injured on the field you better
7:04
make sure you die she tells him that the
7:06
way she lost the looping ability was
7:08
through a blood transfusion causing her
7:10
to conclude that blood is the key to the
7:12
ability it's never clear exactly how
7:15
much blood cage could afford to lose
7:16
while still holding on to his ability to
7:19
reset based on his other injuries
7:21
throughout the film he could definitely
7:22
spare at least a pint or two without
7:24
risking his link with the Omega and it's
7:26
unlikely that a transfusion would have
7:28
replaced every drop so it seems most
7:30
likely that while some of the Alpha's
7:32
blood would remain in his body a
7:34
transfusion would dilute it to the point
7:36
where the mimic link was severed
7:38
after receiving a blood transfusion
7:41
following his theft of Dr Carter's
7:43
transponder from General Brigham's
7:45
office Cajun potaski realized they're
7:47
all out of resets that evening is their
7:49
very last chance to find the Omega and
7:52
prevent the UDF invasion in France The
7:54
Invasion is in reality a trap set by the
7:57
mimics that will result in the ultimate
7:59
and absolute defeat of humanity knowing
8:01
they won't get another opportunity they
8:03
enlist the help of J-Squad they fly to
8:06
Paris where the area around the Louvre
8:08
is completely overrun with mimics and
8:11
all of J-Squad winds up sacrificing
8:13
themselves in their quest to get caged
8:15
in for tasky inside once they finally
8:17
made it in vertaski offers to provide a
8:20
distraction that will allow cage to
8:22
cover the remaining distance to the
8:23
Omega they both know that neither one of
8:25
them has any hope of making it out alive
8:27
as an alpha kills for tasky cage gets to
8:31
the edge of the water covering the Omega
8:33
and begins to swim down to it holding a
8:35
belt of grenades the alpha follows him
8:38
and stabs him through the chest but
8:40
before cage dies he pulls the pins of
8:42
the grenades and drops them down to the
8:44
Omega as the Omega dies it attempts to
8:47
restart the day again but it would seem
8:49
that the Omega can't reset itself and
8:51
instead of giving the mimics a do-over
8:53
it transmits its own death back 24 hours
8:55
this has the effect of killing all of
8:58
the mimics a day before the Omega itself
9:01
was killed
9:02
throughout the movie Cajun for taskey
9:05
know that if he receives a blood
9:06
transfusion he'll lose the reset ability
9:08
which is why they ensure that he dies
9:10
each time they don't complete their goal
9:12
so when he and Rita get into a car
9:15
accident following their theft of the
9:16
transponder from Brigham's office and
9:18
cage is given a transfusion they both
9:21
realize they're on their last life but
9:23
after the destruction of the Omega cage
9:25
wakes up again apparently cage held on
9:28
to life just long enough to get bathed
9:30
in the omega's blood when the grenades
9:32
went off giving him the reset ability
9:34
again having that blood in his system
9:36
when he died meant that when the Omega
9:38
attempted to reset the day cage was
9:40
reset too however unlike the mimics
9:43
Cage's life wasn't dependent on the
9:45
Omega so while the omega's attempted
9:47
reset resulted in the deaths of all
9:49
mimics cage wasn't affected and got one
9:51
last life by the end of Edge of Tomorrow
9:54
we've seen cage reset countless times
9:57
always at Heathrow military base on the
9:59
morning before The Invasion but at the
10:01
end of the film cage wakes up in a
10:03
helicopter on his way to his meeting
10:05
with Brigham before he was ever sent to
10:07
Heathrow the different reset points can
10:09
be confusing after watching cage always
10:11
return to the same time previously but
10:14
it makes sense as long as you understand
10:15
that cage lost the reset ability before
10:18
the end and then regained it the first
10:20
time cage died he reset 24 hours into
10:23
the past at Heathrow the morning before
10:25
The Invasion think of that moment in
10:27
time at Heathrow as a video game save
10:29
point every subsequent time cage died no
10:31
matter how much time passed between his
10:33
waking up and that particular death he
10:35
always reverted to that Original Point
10:37
extending the video game analogy when he
10:39
lost the reset ability the saved game
10:41
was deleted so the second time he gained
10:43
the mimic ability he had to spin up a
10:45
new game this established its own unique
10:48
save point 24 hours before he killed the
10:50
Omega since the Omega died in the early
10:52
hours of the morning before the France
10:54
Invasion cage reset to the previous
10:57
morning right before he met with Brigham
10:59
earlier than his arrival at Heathrow
11:02
it would be easy to finish Edge of
11:04
Tomorrow wondering if cage still has the
11:06
ability to reset again if he died since
11:08
that's what he does after defeating the
11:10
Omega of course without the mimics to
11:12
fight cage hopefully wouldn't find
11:13
himself facing death every day but it
11:15
could still be a handy ability to have
11:17
in case he were to for example
11:19
accidentally get himself run over by
11:21
another truck
11:27
however there's no need to speculate
11:28
about Cage's power since Chances Are by
11:31
the end of the film he doesn't have it
11:33
anymore the way that Dr Carter explains
11:35
the mimic's ability to cage is that when
11:37
an alpha dies the Omega resets it back
11:40
to the day before the alpha isn't
11:42
resetting itself and it seems to have no
11:44
special abilities without the guidance
11:46
of the Omega since cage essentially
11:48
stepped into the role of an alpha when
11:50
he died the time looping isn't his power
11:52
without an Omega around the fleeing
11:55
Cage's Consciousness back in time
11:56
whenever he dies cage is fated to live
11:58
and die with no repeat just like the
12:00
rest of us
