Such a frustrating disappointment

Brilliant and touching

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I love the original Predator and all of the movies in the series. And I will never get tired of watching that one or this one again and again. However the only thing I have a small problem with in this movie is that Danny Trejo got killed off screen. But if you don't know much about the Predator mythos you'd better start studying up, because the Predators or Yautja we see in this movie were obviously bad bloods, who were either banished from Yautja Prime or were sentenced to death for a crime but escaped

Except for the Fast and Furious franchise, the Predator franchise has limitless possibilities. They have successfully taken this franchise in four directions. Besides the Predator and AVP directions, it is clear why the studio chose this project instead of a sequel to AVP2. The opening for a sequel for Predators is at the end when Royce and Isabelle see about 12 more parachutes coming down and Royce says, "Now let's find a way off this f****** planet." If they can get these two back, it can go with them linking with the new arrivals to get to the ship that brings the next set of predators. Of course they would have to kill them all off so no one can blow up the ship but good screenwriters can make that happen. BTW I know it would have probably not fit into the plot but I was surprised that Danny Trejo did not last very long and was the first to go and I would have liked to have seen Nicolai survive. It is time for a sequel to Predators. Really good movie regardless of what the "critics" say.

Predators (2010)Spotted this sitting on a shop shelve, on offer for only £2 and that for the Blu-ray! - Cool! Remembering back to the excellent original, thought I'd give it a try without knowing anything about it, other than it contains Predators and staring Adrien Brody, who is a good actor, in my book at least.I won't waste time filling you in on the story, needless to say, Predators fails to compare to the original Predator from 1987. The original saw a team of commandos enter a jungle and being hunted. It felt good, there was suspense. When the Predator shows up, they used a new original effect that looked like something made from water - you knew it was there, whatever it was, but couldn't quite work out what it was, but sure as hell wanted to know! Arnold Schwarzenegger suited the role perfectly.Predators on the other hand, sees various people falling from the sky, parachutes breaking their fall. They have to workout what's going on, and where is this strange jungle-like place? Adrien Brody does his best to work with the script, while the support cast act like wood. The group are attacked by a pack of weird CGI Predator dog creatures. Guns are a blazing. The group locate a camp set up by a Predator, which looks like a carefully arrange area on a film set. Not convincing. Some of the group meet their end. Some fighting happens between man and Predator. That's really all there is to it. Soulless.I fell asleep at one point for about 10 minutes. None of cast managed to convey the terrifying predicament they were in. They acted like they were on an action safari. I'm a celebrity, get me out of here, I've had enough! Even towards the end, the Predator failed to look and act as well as the Predator from the 1987 film. I wouldn't recommend Predators to anyone.

Nimrod Antal directs this Alien Sci-Fi sequel to PREDATOR (1987) and you will be enthralled with intrigue and suspense, because this is a creature feature that requires both eyes open. Seven strangers are dropped into a rugged jungle-like forest; each waking free fall as their parachutes open in the tree tops. A mercenary named Royce (Adrinn Brody) and a group featuring a Russian soldier, an unassuming doctor, a San Quinton prisoner, a Mexican drug figure, a mysterious Japanese, Sierra Leone soldier and a military trained female figure out they have been placed on another planet as prey for predators that can make themselves invisible. They think they have found a human ally; but can they even trust each other? They do agree that there has to be a way to survive what is chasing them. Special effects are scary and the predators are nasty ugly. Strong creature violence and gore galore. Other players include: Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Topher Grace, Laurence Fishburne, Oleg Taktarov, Derek Mears, Carey Jones and Louis Ozzawa Changchien.
