12 Years A Slave - 6/10, although the acting was superb Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Fassbender were incredible. The film is so god damn depressing. warning to anyone be in the right mood or it will sap the life out of you. I think if I was in that right mood I would of scored it higher.
Just watched this myself. Truly harrowing and brutal in parts. I concur with what you said.Bridge On The River Kwai last night. (for probably the 10th time)
Is there actually a better Film? I'm struggling to think of one! Amazing performance from Alec Guinness and you can almost feel the intense heat they all endured. A simply incredible story about brotherhood and bravery.
10/10
If you've not seen it do yourself a favour.

if you had the ability to 'control time' so every time you died the information you'd learned was transmitted to your past self so you could learn from it. If you then lost that ability due to a blood transfusion, how would your former self know this? How did Emily Blunt (awesome) know that she once had the ability at all given she'd lost it, unless she retained it for a single trip back, then lost it?

Just because she lost the ability doesn't mean she lost the awareness of it as at no point is her memory expunged. TC's start point in his cycle is after she has lost her ability to do the same so she will always be aware of having done it. if you had the ability to 'control time' so every time you died the information you'd learned was transmitted to your past self so you could learn from it.

No, you die and the memory is transmitted back in time. If you lost the ability and died then it wouldn't be, so you'd not know. Or when at TC's reset point she'd not yet died again, then how would she be aware she'd lost the ability? Doesn't work

you seem to be missing the whole point of the reset. The aliens use this ability to control events. No matter how many times you reset time back to being alive you retain all memory and experience. That's the whole point of the entire movie.
And as for the 'if you lost the ability then died' part of your theory. Well that's just an assumption your making. She lost the ability so couldn't remeber any new deaths that occurred with TC in his resets, but it's only your rules that loosing the ability resents your entire memory and wipes out all previous experiences.
Remember she didn't loose her ability through a death, she lost it through a blood transfusion. So when TC meets her she hadn't died since her last reset.... So all memory's of previous resets would still be intact and present. That's why TC remembers everything after his blood transfusion... He hasn't died and is still alive after his last reset
Personally I thought it was quite clear.

Only one creature man or Mimic can reset time. The chief alien Omega uses the blue mimics as an extension of itself on a battlefield. When these die the Omega resets time learning battle experience. The orange mimics are just drones.
Because one creature has the ability meant there was eventually a human win at Verdun after Blunts character has the ability but the Omega hasn't. The Omega gets it back with Blunts transfusion and wins future battles until TC takes out a rare blue mimic and gets the power. This is why TC can win on the battlefield the Omega has lost its time bending ability.
Don Jon Alpha male has crisis as he loves pawn more than real women despite attracting a 10. This perfect woman gives him some grief and seeks solice with an oder woman and then thries hard to find value in reality... slick rom-com that Scarlett Johansson looks particulalry fine in...6.5/10....because the ending...it just happens so qui

It was presented in a clear way but defies logic, yes she would remember all previous resets to that point, I'm happy with that, but wouldn't be able to remember the blood transfusion bit as she'd lost that ability, otherwise she'd have been able to prevent that event from happening.
The information is passed back when the host dies, it's not all transmitted back whilst you're going along until you die.
Therefore she's looped 1000+ times and has gained that experience and knowledge, awesome. Then was injured and lost the ability, how could she know she'd lost it without dying and then not resetting?
No-one knew how the time travel mechanism worked just that the aliens could do it, she could do it and TC can do it now. TC encountered EB post transfusion but how could she know that it broke her time traveling power?
I appreciate that this is the point of the movie but you seem to be missing the point that this little bit doesn't add up.
