I’m a big enough fan that my biases push the film into Fair territory. Nonetheless, I enjoyed Predators, for the most part. It feels like a fan film in both the right and wrong ways. Even though I like hearing the classic music from the original film’s score and seeing not-so-subtle nods to the original film, Predators lacks much of its own identity. For all the action scenes and intense moments, it rarely feels like much progress is being made by the characters towards anything meaningful in the plot. For every badass line of dialogue, there’s something stupid said to counteract it. Unfortunately, they’re all still pretty one-dimensional. Some of the characters are actually pretty smart (most of the time), which is a good trait to have in a horror movie. For every good quality it has, I could point out a flaw or counter point.
Predators 2010 movie#
When it comes to Predators, I could put this movie in a Fair or Foul review category, because I think it’s half-good. The Predators (they don’t have a species name like Xenomorph, so that’s what I’ll call them) are hunting the humans, among other alien game, and it doesn’t take long for the characters to figure that out. Of course, if you are familiar with the Predator franchise, you know that these killers were selected for the primary purpose of hunting. It doesn’t take long before more people of their ilk show up and they go on journey through the dense jungle to find out where they are.

They all have two things in common: they don’t know how or why they got there and they’re all professional killers.
His parachute opens and he hits the ground of a foreign jungle with only enough time to situate himself and his weapons before he encounters another random person who just experienced the same thing. Never fully understood the Predator culture power-dynamicĪ man whom we eventually come to know as Royce (Adrien Brody) wakes up to a shocking surprise: he’s falling from the sky, miles in the air. Odd or poor choices with particular characters and moments Pacing is reasonable and the film is not too longįeels like an homage to the original in some not-so-good ways
Lots of practical effects to counter the CGI Premise is pretty solid even if it’s an excuse to use archetypes for the charactersįeels like an homage to the original in some good ways
