First off I love this film, it took real risks with the story and takes
the Predator mythology on it's ear which I love.
The story starts off with Quinn McKenna (Hal Halbrook) a mercenary that finds some misplaced Predator tech which he steals in the woods. Soon enough he meets a band of mercenaries code-named "the loonies" (which are funny by the way) and a scientist (Olivia Munn) as they are hunted by the Predator and a giant Predator let's call him "Upgrade", because of this Upgrade Predator has spliced his DNA with the deadliest creatures in the universe including human DNA! he's really cool too, it has armor plated skin, bionic eye enhancement, superior strength even to average Predators and Predator dogs! Now I know some people have taken issue with this but i don't care, i personally liked that this took some risks unlike 2010's Predators, this franchise needed it, and it's not like this came out of thin air, Shane Black and Fred Dekker who wrote this got the Upgraded Predator from the Predator comics books. There is a similar story with and Upgraded Predator that takes DNA from other creatures and injects it's self making it stronger.
Overall, I had a damn good time with this, and I can't wait to get this on DVD. I give this a 7/10. I do know the story isn't the strongest are the best but i liked it way better then Predators, also this had a lot of re-shoots done to it, so that is why there are plot holes. But this is so face paced most won't notice, also don't take this one too seriously because it's suppose to be funnier than the previous installments. Highly recommended.
