To me, this movie is perfection.

... View MoreIt's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
... View MoreToo much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
... View MoreThis movie starts off as a promising stalker, but then quickly devolves into an inane series of plot twists that causes all logic to fall apart. The acting on Adrien Brody's part was one of the most disappointing aspects of the movie. He tries to put on a tough guy accent and it just doesn't work. The chemistry and relationships between him and the others is very incoherent. This is an example of a movie that the X-Box generation might understand, but not someone older like me. It has a lot of what other people complain about with digital effects that look sloppy. Since when, in a thriller movie, do the chances of survival increase once your ammunition runs out, you're tired, and on the aliens' home turf!!!! If this was a hunt which it was supposed to be, how can Adrien Brody be running rings around these aliens in the end???? I swear, he takes his shirt off, and he looks like skin and bones and it is really laughable. Maybe simply trying what Schwarzenegger did in the first one is supposed to intimidate the aliens. I don't know! There is a sub-lot where there is a blood feud between the two main alien factions. That plays a part in the ending, but it didn't look like there was very good direction in these final scenes.
... View MoreAfter reading reviews i was interested, as many said it played homage to the original, which i love.However, apart from a lot of the music and strangely some of the lines too, this is not what you want as a fan of the original.The original was subtle and took time to develop, keeping the viewer interested and scared. This is the opposite.I would recommend but only to avoid.
... View MoreNimrod Antal directs this Alien Sci-Fi sequel to PREDATOR (1987) and you will be enthralled with intrigue and suspense, because this is a creature feature that requires both eyes open. Seven strangers are dropped into a rugged jungle-like forest; each waking free fall as their parachutes open in the tree tops. A mercenary named Royce (Adrinn Brody) and a group featuring a Russian soldier, an unassuming doctor, a San Quinton prisoner, a Mexican drug figure, a mysterious Japanese, Sierra Leone soldier and a military trained female figure out they have been placed on another planet as prey for predators that can make themselves invisible. They think they have found a human ally; but can they even trust each other? They do agree that there has to be a way to survive what is chasing them. Special effects are scary and the predators are nasty ugly. Strong creature violence and gore galore. Other players include: Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Topher Grace, Laurence Fishburne, Oleg Taktarov, Derek Mears, Carey Jones and Louis Ozzawa Changchien.
... View MorePredators is a cool concept, it takes place on an alien game preserve, with stunning visuals of a foreign planet and space but there is a video game type feeling, which lessens the quality of the movie itself. It's all out action right from the start, with little character development and very little hope for the characters into which they are put into. One of the main characters played by Topher Grace was completely unnecessary having no redeeming qualities and a rather dumb ending narrative. The film pays a ton of homage to the original Predator, such as the bridge stand-off, the lead females actresses looking very similar and the purposefully placed cheesy one-liners. Don't get it wrong, Predators is a kick-ass film with mindless action sequences that goes by quickly but it provides nothing new to the table.
