The first question after watching the movie: What is the length of the Hollywood card? The plot is approaching as if catching a duck, the whole process is fast-forwarding, the key issues are not clearly explained, but instead it is procrastinated on an unimportant plot. Although the Predator never depends on the rigorousness of the story to win, but being able to shoot a classic series with a history of more than 30 years with a low score of 5.0 is an ability. Can the crew handle the fans?
After watching the movie of the dead enemy Alien shine in the past few years, it should not feel good in the heart of the Predator. I'm not against the reappearance of the Predator, but this is a thin story, and how to tell something new is a problem. In fact, this film accurately grasps the core elements of the story of the Predator - thriller and killing. It is simple and clear to enter the Shura field at the beginning of the film, but in addition to the visual impact of the broken hands, feet, skin and stomach, it is not enough. No grip. At the same time, the Predator was exposed to the light too early, which completely shattered his image of a silent killer, and the noisy sound effects greatly reduced the horror atmosphere.
In contrast, the logical chaos of the movie is a more serious disaster. The purpose of killing and training in the previous series has been changed. The reason why the two Predators came to Earth this time is inexplicable. The first one was there to save mankind, but as soon as he woke up, he started killing mankind! ? The second one is to hunt down the traitors, but after the mission is completed, he plays a hunter game with humans, and finally kills himself... As a civilization that runs rampant in the universe, the Predator should have the technology to crush human beings. In the movie, only a limited number of weapons can be used to fight human beings hand-to-hand, and his battlefield wisdom is actually better than a group of makeshift rabble, which is really puzzling.
In the end, the director may know that the hardware is weak, and force the film to add the emotional line between father and son and comrades-in-arms, but the expression is blunt and broken, which is superfluous. There is also a heroine with a reckless style and amazing fighting power, who doesn't look like a scientist at all. I have never understood her role in the movie from beginning to end. It can be said that a story that is too simple to be simple has been added to the movie for no reason. The amazing thing is that the director even shot an ending that obviously paved the way for the sequel. I really don't understand where he got his confidence.
Although, I didn't have any expectations for this film, but it still deserves to be the most disappointing sci-fi film in 2018, which is speechless.
It's a bad movie, I don't recommend it, it will be deleted.
