Predators Review

 

Produced by Robert Rodriguez (Sin City and El Mariachi) and directed by Nimrod Antal (Armored and Vacancy) Predators is exactly what it appears to be, though not a Oscar winning masterpiece brings us a sense of thrill and excitement. A good popcorn flick for anyone who is a fan of science fiction horror or the original Predator film. With the help of an all star cast including academy award winner Adrian Brody Predators brings to the screen a good fun film that is definitely worth renting. It's nothing new that we haven't seen before nor does it have any crazy twists and turns that you would expect in a modern film such as this one. Predators is very straight forward with action sequence after another with very little character development but is a fun flick when in the mood. When a group of the most deadliest of our world are transported to their world, they soon discover that they are in a game preserve and that they're the game. With no way out and nothing to do but run and survive the group must endure this hell doing what ever it takes. Very predictable in many ways following a standard format of storytelling. You could almost guess in the beginning who will live and who will die. The predator looks as good as it did before bringing back a more creepier and thrilling character from the original Predator than the Alien vs. Predator. In conclusion Predators is by far better than AVP and though it has many of the same attributes of the first yet still lacks in originality and development.
