I saw it the other day and really loved it, especially the third act where the predator suits up and uses the environment shown in earlier scenes as weapons. I initially stayed away from it as I was disappointed by the last live action predator movie but I was wrong. I even tried to get my partner to watch it as I wanted to see it again but she fell asleep in 10 minutes (she does this with every movie lmao) I hope we get a sequel to it.

If there is one bad thing to say I’m not sure how I feel with the whole predator race becoming more friendly? Even though it’s just this one predator but I suppose I can chalk that up to individuality and the whole predator race doesn’t act the exact same way that we’ve seen before. Anyways really good found family movie. I give it a 5.5 out of 7.

On a scale of 1/10

The letter of the day is apparently”r” lol

Many people on different platforms have eluded to a version of the script where romance was a thing but I can’t find anything to support that.

Scar wasn’t blooded yet so he was the human equivalent to a teenager, right? Or maybe super early 20s? In this mysterious originAl script, was he older?

Because Yautja have been around for so long I’m thinking maybe talk of the alt version of the script happened at a con I was too young to attend or an interview that’s lost media?

or…it’s not true? 😆

help?

So I made an interesting connection after the rewatch: "Predator" perfectly utilizes the "Alien" story formula:

• Group of expendable employees on a routine mission
• There's a secondary objective which they are not initially briefed on
• The second half of the movie shifts more toward sci-fi/horror
• With (nearly) everyone killed, it's down to one human and one alien

Obviously, "Predator" has its own twists and turns, and has quite a bit more action than "Alien." That formula has been executed so poorly in so many films, but here it was perfect. There isn't a dull moment and the tension is high.

The other thing I noticed was that I was laughing a lot more than I expected. Stan Winston's team gave the yautja a surprising amount of expression. When Dutch tries to lure him into a trap toward the end, the yautja hisses at him and makes it clear that he knows what's up. There's a lot of humanness in the reaction and I somehow never picked up on it before. Brilliant, and made for some good chuckles. I love details like that.

It's most definitely a work in progress.

Could you imagine how completely HORRIFYING a Yautja that was captured and experimented with the other viruses on and because a "Yautja/Nemesis" Hybrid of some sorts? 😧

Finally completed the set 🙏🏻 anyone know how rare the battle damaged Celtic is? Definitely my Grail
