    Storyline

    Edit
    From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home. Now, the universe's most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race. —Twentieth Century Fox

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Although no mention is made in the movie, the character Keyes played by Jake Busey is the son of Peter Keyes, the government official from Predator 2 (1990) who died during the hunt for the Predator. Peter Keyes was played by Gary Busey, who is Jake's father in real life as well.
    • Goofs
      Early in the film, Traeger shows Bracket a photo from the 1987 Predator encounter (the first film). The photo is a still of the Predator from the first movie taken from when the Predator decloaks coming out of the water. Considering the only person who survived seeing the Predator uncloaked was Dutch (who did not have a camera with him), who took this picture?
    • Quotes

      Baxley: Fuck me in the face with an aardvark.

    • Alternate versions
      The Chinese version is heavily censored, and runs about 2 minutes shorter than the US version. It removes nearly all violence and gore, sometimes digitally erasing blood from existing scenes. In addition, nearly all profanity and sexual innuendo is either removed or alternate dialogue is used.

    Personal feelings aside.
    I went into this movie trying my best to stay objective and take it for what it was. And I enjoyed it as a sci fi action movie, it wasn't bad. No where near as bad as some of the more fanatical fans seem to think it was here.

    Acting was good, screenplay was good, pacing was good. Story was actually not that bad neither. Unless someone wanted to try and challenge the original in terms of plot, there's not many options that works, this kinda did work.

    If you ignore the more crazy fans that like to bash on anything that's not on par with their own opinions, you'll enjoy this film.

    People don't seem to understand that rating 5 out of 10 is "watchable but not for me." ratings. Yet there's individuals out there that give perfectly alright movies 2 and 3 stars just because they can't give objective opinions even if their lives depended on it.

    But I digress.

    The movie was a excellent action movie, a great sci fi movie and a questionable Predator movie. So how should we base the rating then?

    7/10 action movie. 7/10 sci fi movie. 5/10 Predator movie.

    Final verdict = 6/10
