Video

Predators is a 2010 American science-fiction horror film directed by Nimród Antal, and starring Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Danny Trejo and Derek Mears as the "Classic Predator". The film is a sequel to Predator (1987) and semi-sequel to Predator 2(1990) but ignores two AVP movies. Producer Robert Rodriguez stated that he named the film "Predators" in relation to how the second film in the Alien franchise was called Aliens.

 

The title Predators is intended to have a double meaning, in that it refers to both the film's alien creatures, as well as the group of humans who are going against them. Predators was released in Australia and the United Kingdom on the 8th of July and in the United States on the 9th July. The film has received positive reviews; most critics and many fans stating it is a worthy sequel to the 1987 original.

I've been a Predator fan since the original. So I was hopeful that this would be a good sequel. Boy was I wrong :(

The premise of this movie is 3 Predators hunting on a game reserve planet. So I thought I'd see more of the Predators you know ... hunting! It never really showed the Predators stalking there prey at all. Other than some random thermal vision off and on. It really just needed more Predator action! Not human action, you come to a movie like this to see Predators doing there thing.

I think it would have been cool to see them hunting other things on the planet other than the humans too. See it more from the Predators perspective instead of the humans the whole time.

What I did like is how the Predators looked. Each looked a little different. One of them looked exactly like the Predator from the original movie, which was a nice touch.

They actually referenced some of the events of the original Predator, that proved to be helpful to the humans later on.

Another cool thing about Predators is the weapons they use. There wasn't anything new other than a flying machine that scans an area. The plasma cannon and claws are what they used in this movie. It would have been ok if they even used weapons in past movies. But just claws and energy attacks?

Apparently the hunt has been going on for a long time, so it would be nice to see some flashbacks of hunts in the past. Like the last Samurai that was there for example.

My friend Oly noticed this: "At one point these "Predator Dogs" as I call them. Where sent out to attack them, they had trouble even killing one for a few minutes, then all of a sudden they can kill them with one shot?"

There was a survivor that has been there for 8 - 10 seasons (they didn't explain how long a "season" was either). During that time he managed to kill 2 or 3 Predators. But when he finally gets killed by a Predator he puts up no fight at all?? All he says is "You finally found me" and just stands there and gets blasted..

If these Predators are so smart like they mention in the movie, how did all 3 get beaten so easily?
