they were the toughest n most elite personnel in the world, soldier, special force, mercenary, yakuza. chosen for their ability to kill, they were dropped into a jungle, which was located on a distant planet. the Predators were tailing them, learning, evolving n adapting by watching their every move. they were forced to push their limits, ability, n teamwork, against the Predators n their advance weapons, in order to survive.
like any Alien or Predator movies, they continued to successfully making it merciless n deadly. one after another they were killed, in ways so random n unimaginable. however the movie had a very weak plot, so weak it was almost insulting especially if compare to the previous Alien or Predator movies.

I like the weapons and killings, but dont like the plot either. Sometimes I think this movie is just being made only.

ReplyDeletei have to agree. it felt like another cheapskate movie, which really could be a lot better since the starting was so interesting!
"however the movie had a very weak plot, so weak it was almost insulting especially if compare to the previous Alien or Predator movies."
ReplyDeleteIsn't it something how when they often times make a series of movies, they're never quite as good as the original/first one?
Great cast, though!
Thanks for sharing this movie review, Levain!

ReplyDeletethanks! i agree, n sometimes the focus seemed to stray from its supposedly original plot as well, which in this case the predators/alien. but it was, in the end, mostly about the humans, making it quite a disappointment.
