Children's shoes, do you still remember the Predator in a sexy fishnet suit by the jungle lake?

It's back, and in the words of the Predator, I miss you all!

As Fox's two big alien IPs, Alien and Predator, have all made new launches in the new era.

Compared with the complex evolutionary system of aliens, the Predator pursues a more primitive bloodthirsty and primitiveness.

The 2018 "Predator" is listed as M18, which brings out the real bloodthirsty of the Predator and the real character of the swear words. The film presents the excitement that a mature commercial film should have.

The film pays more homage to the previous "Predator" series, especially the first Schwarzenegger's 1987 version. At the beginning of the film, the Predator spaceship fell into the earth, which is exactly the same as the first one, but this time the Predator came to the earth. The purpose is to play a new trick.

Moreover, the Predator will not hurt the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. This fine tradition is also well reflected in the new version. For example, the new version of Predator does not attack the female protagonist without clothes. Friends who have seen it should not think that this is a female. The Lord opened the protagonist's halo.

The segmentation and narration of the film also secretly pay tribute to the previous "Predator" series, such as the first half of the city fighting background pays tribute to "Predator 2", and the second half of the jungle battle pays tribute to "Predator" (1987).

The Predator fight is a tribute to the 2010 "New Predator" duel of the same race.

Outside the play, the director of "Predator" (2018) is the four-eyed boy Shane Black who died in the middle of the 1987 version.

In the film, Jack Busey, who plays a scientist, is the son of detective Gary Busey in the 1990 version.

To Da Cong's surprise, a lot of humorous elements were also added to the atmosphere of the whole movie in the case of bloody explosions.

When it comes to humorous elements, Da Cong found that the recent commercial blockbusters should be more or less mixed with humorous elements as seasonings to enrich and drive more emotions in the whole movie. The "Mission Impossible" series is like this, "The Megalodon" is like this, This is the case with Sky Rescue, not to mention the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, where almost every humorous element is now unabated.

The most interesting humor in "The Predator" is that the name of the self-deprecating Predator appears in the film. The English name of the Predator is "Predator" (predator) , but in fact, the fans of the Predator do not agree with this name at all, thinking that such a bloody and brutal Species should have a name of their own. On the periphery of the Predator, fans affectionately call the Predator Yautja .

The origin of the name "Predator" in Chinese is entirely because the first 1987 version was created for Schwarzenegger. In that year, "Predator" (1987) was introduced to Hong Kong. In order to attract more audiences, the film party adopted "Predator". Means Schwarzenegger, but then the Predator gave this catfish + dog + alien dreadlocks monster.

"Predator" (2018), in the tense and thrilling atmosphere, has added a lot of characters that bring a relaxed atmosphere, such as the prisoner team brought in by the protagonist Quinn McKenna. A lot of jokes and burdens are made to make the supporting characters more impressive.

Predator (2018) is the fourth installment of the original series, and the timeline is placed between "Predator 2" in 1990 and "New Predator" in 2010.

Since it is a series of works, the plot of the film will naturally be connected with the previous "Predator". The background of the story is set in the environment after the previous few Predator came to Earth. Scientists have already studied the Predator quite a bit.

It is precisely because of this that we can get more habits and extensions of this ugly species from the new "Predator".

Of course, if you haven't watched the previous "Predator", you don't have to worry about the sequel to today's commercial films, because the IP "Predator" is the most refreshing under the simple and rude plot. torture action scenes.

Although the plot of "Predator" is relatively large, but after so many years, the image of the Predator is still the same. In the cosplay session of film and television characters, the Predator can have the same status as other first-line film and television models.

As the saying goes, the devil is in the details. Although the Predator series is a simple summary of the plot, the Predator is an alien race, ranging from the spaceship of their race, to the equipment of each tribe, and even the Predator has its own Yautja language, which is why the Predator can gain the hearts of fans who value it.

Next, we will review the review, so that everyone can understand the 2018 "Predator" in the most senior position.

The Predator is an ancient alien species, with advanced technology than humans, and a burly and gigantic figure, but it is useless to go to South Korea many times.

The most important character trait of the Predator is to go to any other high civilization home planet and hunt the most worthy prey as the highest honor, which of course also includes humans on Earth.

At the same time, it also includes the aliens of the same Fox universe. In the spaceship of "Predator 2", you can see the loot of the head of the Predator, the most obvious of which is the head of the alien.

So the logical "Alien vs. Predator 1-2" was released in 2004 and 2007. The target and opponent of the Predator's hunting became the Alien Oppa.

From the first film in 1987 to the present, the Predator universe has expanded very richly. In film and television works, the Predator was originally the same parent star Yautja Prime, but in the end, after generations of reproduction, colonized various planets and formed new tribes , each tribe's hunting rules and forming teams are also different, so in our different works, each kind of Predator is different.

In previous works, there were a total of four different species of Predator, including five if the new version of Predator was included.

The first is the 1987 version of the Jungle Predator. This is called the "Jungle Hunter", and it is also the most classic Predator race. They like to hunt in the depths of the jungle. Although the jungle is vast and beautiful, they can also enjoy the most primitive hunting. Fun way.

The second is the "urban hunter" that appeared in the 1990 version of "Predator 2". This setting is actually a bit of a failure, but it is also an extension of the Predator. The urban hunter likes to lay out in the area where civilization is located and develop teamwork. There is also a clear system of leaders and subordinates.

The third is in "Alien vs. Predator". Although the tribe does not have an obvious name, it has strict adult etiquette, and the target of hunting is not humans, but aliens.

These Predators have influenced human beings since ancient times. They even helped build the pyramids. Once every 100 years, they put human beings into Antarctic caves and turned them into aliens. After that, they hunted and captured alien heads to gain the recognition of the tribe. .

The fourth type is the Super Predator of "New Predator" in 2010. This kind of Predator is huge and likes to move the prey to the planet they designate, and then hunt, and the relationship between the Super Predator and other Predator is very bad. .

In addition, the class structure of the Predators is also very obvious. The powerful Predators are all single-handedly, such as the lone wolf in "Alien vs. Predator 2", responsible for the emergencies of their tribes on other hunting planets.

As for the iron-blooded alien from "Alien vs. Predator 2", Da Cong believes that this species should belong to the alien species, not the Predator. After all, human beings have broken their chests and become aliens. category.

The fifth type is the hybrid Predator of "Predator" (2018), or the Ultimate Predator, which is also in line with the "evolution" often mentioned in sci-fi film and television works in the new era. This time, the Predator, in order to make himself The ethnic group is stronger than other Predator, and will be mixed with other advanced civilization creatures for experiments, and has reached its own evolution, becoming a more powerful Predator.

There is no easter egg in the film, but there is an easter egg at the end, which heralds a new chapter, and mankind officially enters a new era of full confrontation with the Predator.

In general, Predator (2018) summed up the advantages of the previous works, replaced it with the latest special effects and actions, strengthened the rhythm of the plot, and updated the weapons and spaceship equipment, so that the audience can play again and again. The big screen enjoys the pleasure brought by the brutal killing of the Predator.

The bloody and tyrannical level of the film M18 better allows the Predator to fully display the tragic scenes of beheading, belly breaking, eye piercing, spine pulling, headshot, waist breaking, chest stabbing and so on during the brutal killing process.

Therefore, in such a film, the plot has been weakened into a coat, but in popular words on the Internet, I watched this film to watch the Predator.

If so, this year's big IP sci-fi cool film "Predator" is worth having a good time.
