4/7/2024 0 Comments Prey vs predator eyes![]() Sorry if I start to ramble, but it really bugs me when I believe a film could have been greatly improved with a few tweaks of the script. I didn't hate this movie but I thought the writing was very sloppy, considering the fantastic premise offered so much potential. It's another welcome sequel and should be seen by any predator fan or action fan. But regardless it's a surprising return to roots as far as the back to basics setting and suspense aspects. It's a shame that this had to be only streaming as it should have been in theater. The acting is bare bones but for the story it has to be as far as context. Music and sound is crisp and powerful and adds so much. The costume design captures a completely different timeframe awesomely as well as shows a new more prehistoric predator that might be the coolest visually yet. Dan Trachtenberg has a keen eye for detail as seen in 10 cloverfield lane and shows it once again. The settings are phenomenal and amplify the overall product. ![]() I was skeptical with a few things judging by the trailer but seeing the final product I can say that no matter the logic holes in the mismatch of Pred vs prey, the film is executed quite well. A perfect sequel hasn't been made imo and may never be, but I can say this new film has the closest effective wilderness ambience/suspense to the first film and that warrants great praise. Since the revolutionary classic first film, Fox/hollywood have made 4 sequels all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed/ still critiqued. It's nice to know that movies like this can still surprise me, not to mention make me stand up and cheer.Īs a lifelong fan of this franchise I am admittedly biased. I was sucked in from moment one, and Amber Midthunder completely captivated me for the whole runtime. Nobody's going to give this movie an Oscar, but I'd rather watch a story like this than most movies with capes and poorly staged action sequences. I found the cinematagrophy breathtaking, I found the characters compelling, and I'm kind of all in on seeing what happens when we transport modern franchises into different historical/cultural contexts. I cared way more about Naru and her brother (not to mention her dog) than I did about anybody in the original. So I fully admit that I have limited context here. As far as I'm concerned "Predator" = jungles and body butter. Confession: I'm the guy who watched the original Predator way too many times thanks to the magic of VHS.but then never watched a single sequel afterwards.
