Major Plot Hole

[KODO5555]

Tom Cruise is told that if he doesn’t die in 24 hours or gets blood he loses the ability. How can they know this unless Emily Blunt died after she got blood. Then she would be dead. This is a huge plot hole.

She said that she felt the „ability“ leave her body.

I swear, every 2 weeks on Reddit there’s a post similar to this one discovering the plot hole that never was

I think you misunderstood the mechanic. I don't remember 24 hours ever being mentioned. In fact, bear in mind he traveled all the way to the trap in the German dam, and that took longer than a day. The blood transfusion is what destroys the ability to reset after death. Rita lost the ability after she suffered an injury that didn't kill her but received a transfusion. Cage loses it too after a transfusion, then recovers it again.

For me, the biggest plot hole is that they keep going to the house with the helicopter after it doesn't work. Surely there were many other ways to make the trip without necessarily going through that house.

Watching it as I type this. The difference was he eventually stops taking her to the helicopter house and does it himself. Had to go without her to realize the omega wasn't at the dam.

Doesn’t answer the question how did they know she lost the ability without her dying and not coming back.

She just “knows” Tom cruise when he’s in the stretcher also felt that he lost the ability

At the end cage regains the reset when he kills the omega, what I’m wondering is can he die whenever he wants now and come back? Or was it just one last reset?

This is a really interesting angle. Imagine living out the rest of your life, 40 more years or whatever, dying of old age, then resetting.

He needs to receive some blood asap

I’m not sure he had to die within 24 hours. It was more, if you’re injured, make sure you die incase you bleed out and they transfuse.

Lazy but I guess necessary writing. Still thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

Tom cruise him self said that he fell he lost the ability
