Edge of Tomorrow thoughts

Saw Edge of Tomorrow last night and had some thoughts.
A couple of positive things first.
1) I was never really sold on Emily Blunt in any movies for how much praise she was getting. She was good in Looper but didn't do anything for me. This, however, was my breaking point. She rocked. She did the tired, weary, bad-ass soldier wonderfully. I'm sold.
2) Special effects were roundly awesome.
3) Tom Cruise was cool.
4) so on and so forth.

The reason why I'm bothering to write this up, and big spoilers if you haven't seen it still or are waiting for home watching (don't, because its cool on the big screen), is the ending.
I didn't like the ending.
The wife and I talked about this on the drive home. We both didn't like it. It was too...nice. It was wrapped up all convenient. It was a big present at the end with a huge bow on top to say, "Yeah! Everybody lives and the world is saved!"
To be honest, we think a more grounding, more heroic ending should have been done and this is how my wife and I envisioned it:
Instead of Cruise falling in the water and killing the Omega then getting wrapped in it's time blood juice and resetting to just before the battle again (probably one last time since the Omega is now dead) and the Omega is still dead at the last reset with nobody but Cruise that knows (and Blunt and her scientist friend to believe)...the following (or something like it) should have happened.
Everything happens exactly like it did at the end. J-Squad gets picked off, they all have heroic ends. Blunt dies in a more noble fashion (although her death did have some nobility to it, maybe something more kickass like taking down a dozen drone mimics but avoiding the Alpha could have worked) then Cruise dies taking out the Omega.
Next day reports come from the other fronts that the Mimics are not resisting and are basically dead without the Omega. The French frontlines show the same; no resistance.
Flash to soldiers entering Paris. Someone finds a sole surviving member of J-Squad. Maybe Ford, the black dude who took his dead friend's name and place so that his dead friend's family back home was still getting the checks to survive. He recounts the tale of what they were doing and he has some undeniable evidence of some kind of what they did and how they did it. The scientist friend of Blunt can confirm it. Blunt, Cruise and the rest of J-Squad are hailed as heroes. Statues are erected to celebrate their sacrifice. The sole surviving member (whoever) is given some medal. Whatever.
Point is this would seem to us as being something of a greater, more realistic and yet still cool ending. It wouldn't have been your typical ending. It would still be a positive point to the sacrifice and enduring spirit of what the purpose was of having the reset power taken from Cruise near the end. The fact that with all of this training through countless deaths, here is one last final hurrah that paid off because he tried and tried. and even if he and the rest died, it was still worth it for the world to be saved.

just my opinion on it. it was still a great watch. and I'd totally watch it again.
