Possible Script Breakdown *potential spoilers*

So why are the "good" predators here? What's their beef with upgrade? What's this movie even about?

Might have to actually watch the film to find out.

Re: DNA and hunting in the test screening -

Spoiler

The DNA thing is mentioned a whomping twice. The "allied" Predators aren't stationed at the base, they haven't been working with the government. They show up to pretty much fight off the Upgrade.

That sounds like a pretty big shift from the draft... Promising

That's what i was thinking 

And talking about the upgrade, did anyone mentioned him after the test screening ? Was it satisfactory ? Weird ?

Were once captured by the government, got stripped off of their equipment and managed to escape and since then were hiding on earth, stealing stuff from killed soldiers. Or they get equipped by the main characters when they show up. I do think they were on earth the entire time though, when they would come to earth just for upgrade, they would sure as hell bring their own weapons

I think they didn't change anything. In the context of this story, it would be better if they lived on the zone and now it turns out that predators are homeless and don't fit into history at all.The script wasn't particularly thought out and now such revelations are out of place.

No, they are out of place for you, because you/we don't know the story and we can't make sense of it. I bet, when we see the movie, it all comes together nicely.

I like this idea - where it's more due to necessity rather than something randomly thrown in to signify camaraderie or the like.

I just hope the "Average Joe" predators aren't useless against the Upgrade.

From what I hear, they are.

They are because the upgrade is too damn strong and overpowering

I can't wait to see the backlash from predator fans when they find out it wasn't the predators who got to take out upgrade but

a little boy and his father.

Why would it be anyone other than the protagonists?
