EDGE OF TOMORROW hits Blu-ray and DVD today from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. This was one of the more fun movies to hit in 2014, and in the opinions of many genre fans (myself included) was criminally overlooked at the box office. You can read my full review here. Warner Bros. also did something interesting with the home video release of the film. Almost all of the trailers and TV spots used the slogan “Live. Die. Repeat.” – a slogan I initially thought would have made a much better title, as EDGE OF TOMORROW just doesn’t tell you much about the film. I guess Warner agreed, and have put “LIVE. DIE. REPEAT.” in giant letters on the packaging of the film, and the words EDGE OF TOMORROW in rather small print, in essence sort of re-branding the movie. Whatever works, I just hope people see it, as it’s one of the better Sci-Fi movies to hit in recent years. The Blu-ray + DVD combo pack is loaded with some cool features, listed below, and you can watch a brief video snippet below as well. My only complaint, if any, is I would have liked even more features as there’s so much to delve into with a film like this. That said, EDGE OF TOMORROW is a solid home video release, and one of the best Tom Cruise movies of the past few years as well.
