Ok, how many movies did this one rip of...er um, "pay homage" to? Wasn't a bad movie. It kept me interested throughout. Basically like a video game. Gotta beat the minor bosses until you get to the Big Boss battle.
Here are three movies "paid homage to":
The Matrix (the "Mimics" looked like the squigglies)
Starship Troopers (the "brain bug", among others)
Saving Private Ryan (duh)
There are more, but I'd like to see your thoughts

Groundhog Day. But I enjoyed the movie for what it was

Quick, tell me a modern movie that doesn't "rip off" or "pay homage" to 10 other films.

I would do terrible, wonderful things to Emily Blunt.

The only thing I didn't like about this movie was the look of the Mimics. They could have done a much better job there

The one it seemed to mimic most (no pun intended) was Source Code.

well, you know, that is because the writer of the book based his book on a character living through a video game.

Yep, they obviously borrowed the replay events theme from Groundhog Day but I really enjoyed the movie as I do most of Tom Cruise's movies.

Movie was great, idc if that movie didn't have a single original concept, was fun and definitely worth a watch
Posted on 2/8/15 at 10:35 pm to LuckySo-n-So
Emily Blunt is in that movie.
Posted on 2/8/15 at 11:28 pm to LuckySo-n-So
Cruise's best movie in a long time.

One of the best action movies I've seen in a long time and easily one of my top 20 favorite movies it hasn't gotten old on rewatch.

Judging by this write up...it was a rip-off of The Game of Death with Bruce Lee too.
But I think we should be a little more cautious using that term...otherwise, Tarantino is a huge rip-off artist as well.

Its adapted from a short story called "All You Need Is Kill." Its a quick read.
I loved the movie. One of the best sci fi movies I've seen in a while. The action and pacing were fantastic. Cruise, just about the time you think he's done, he puts up one of these.

Those are the two that came to my mind when watching. I really enjoyed it.
