Another Power Armor Movie? Edge of Tomorrow

Post by MrDakka »

Yo dawg I heard you like power armor, so I put power armor on Matt Damon's power armor so you can look cool while you kill aliens :D

Edge of Tomorrow, formerly called All You Need is Kill, has your favorite Scientologist, playing a soldier who died fighting Xenu aliens stuck in a time loop reliving his last day alive.

I know its not really power armor, more of a powered exoskeleton. Plus it looks more like the SARCOS exoskeleton

And with all this advanced technology, their scientists are closing in on an advanced device called a "helmet" which some say will drastically reduce casulties.

Others say that helmets are an enormous waste of money, encourage cowardice in out fighting men, and actually lead to increased numbers of head injuries.

Also, we're doing Groundhod Day in a warzone? He'll look pretty badass for that last run through, knowing exactly when to duck, but tomorrow his buddies are going to wonder where his badass skills went.

The armour looks cool. The premise sounds cool. Hopefully they don't fuck it up.

I'd suggest people just read All You Need Is Kill. It's a short, punchy novel. It could have made for a good movie, but I guess they decided against it.

But... it does have a helmet. In the IMDB bits. Presumably he has just removed it in some pictures.

Awesome, consider my objection rescinded.
