    Ah… I’d been waiting for the All You Need is Kill movie.

    I read the manga first, so Edge of Tomorrow, generally entertaining as it was, was a disappointment in the long run.

    All I hope really is that this movie has the courage to tell the same story the manga told.

    Edit to add, after watching it:

    First off, I had forgotten that this was Science SARU, though I was reminded about one second in - there’s no mistaking that art style.

    All in all it was… pretty good.

    Broadly of course it was the same story, but it differed in a number of details, some of which I think might have even been an improvement over the original. Others were definitely not an improvement though. Overall, I’d rate it at somewhat inferior to the original, but vastly superior to Edge of Tomorrow.
