Ain't that the truth. Even though newer films can do the cloaking better nowadays, I almost always return to the original, and even Predator 2 to some regard, because, I don't know why, I just prefer that original, wavy cloak rather than the more modern, more detailed cloaking.
These days I can remake it in about ten minutes in After Effects.
The once was enough for me.
You should go see Dial of Destiny again.
For VFX, yeah. Not for anything close to Best Picture though.
Wasn't the original nominated for an Oscar?
An MTV Movie Award is the best that any Predator movie should ever get.
I don't care about youtubers's opinions. I don't do politics, I don't even vote.
I hate Prey for the same reasons I hate The Predator, or Predators, or AVP or AVPR.
They don't possess the fundamental elements I need for a Predator movie. As I said before
I'm a romantic. I need my Winston designed preds, I need Silvestri's score.I need my skinned
human bodies. I need pratical fx. I'd pratically need panavision lenses too.
Let's respect each other opinions.I know it's not gonna happen but maybe the fanbase will
ask for what I'm asking too, at least concerning the preds design.Miracles happen.
Just that not explaining it sort of stands out.
This is all.
I saw it in the same way I see how tech is in real life, like say firearms for instance. Some firearms have advantages and disadvantages over others and are constantly going under development. Pistols, Shotguns, Rifles, Sniper Rifles, ect all have a different role to play and even then within their respective functions, not all truly stand above the other. Like how some rifles have a longer barrel and stronger mechanism that allows to shoot heavier calibers but at the cost of some mobility due to the added weight. Or some can hold more types of ammunition over others and some can shoot more accurately than others.
I suspect that the cloak back then had stronger effectiveness at being water resistant but at the cost of a less effective invisibility. Cloaking as we see in more modern times like in 87 got better invisibility but at the cost of outright no water resistance. And Dan's comments on Feral's cloaking supports my theory seeing how he said the cloak is a older version of the previous films.
Now I can make it sound fancy.
i admit that i not much enough of a fan of theb pred franchise.
BUT
I wanted to known from those that
ARE
if the direction Prey took was ok not ok bad good and all yje accompanying reasons why.
its the sometimes lack of a "yay or nay" that kind of surprises/confuses me.
its like no one really cares enough about whats going on to speak up.

That can obviously get volatile but for the most part people here have reasonable conversations.
yes but that s mainly because the movie AND franchise means something to them on a very personal and spiritual level.
it why it s like that, that interests me
It's not even an issue for me watching the movie. It just strikes me as incongruent with the vibe they were going for with Feral overall.
I wouldn't call that a controversial statement. You're right; the film does not address it, but it's just not something that bothers me because there's many rational explanations for it. I guess this is where headcanon comes in to fill the gaps. Mine is, it came down to choice for each predators' preferred cloaking tech (and weapons). Some liked a more advanced tech while others didn't. It's not all that different from human hunters choosing different camo patterns; some patterns work better than others but it really just boils down to the hunter's choice when selecting their gear.
It's glaring to show a cloaking device devoid of its signature weakness with no explanation and I'm surprised that seems to be such a controversial statement.
Personally I think for a species cavorting around the galaxy with FTL 300 years is the rounding error on a weekend bender if you took the wrong turn at alpha centauri.
Some hunters use fancier camo too so I don't see an issue there
simple explanation is that feral chose a cloak that was more water proof than the others. It's speculative, but within the realm of reason and plausibility. It's easy enough to assume feral liked more primitive weapons and more water proof/resistant cloaking.
And no, the words of a writer, director, actor or whatever have no bearing on this because it's not represented in the movie. The Cloak is just a different type of cloak, the same way we have seen different types of spears, wristblades, discs, heat vision and even plasma casters.
Also notice I'm not complaining about bear blood. Opaque liquids don't seem to bother the cloak - again, fairly consistent.

It shorting out in ash makes sense. It's made very fine particles, it would screw with whatever mechanism is working to bend the light. But so would water. Having one affect it but not the other just makes it feel very superficial.
I'm guessing that a subsequent one would have involved that given any report by Dutch to his superiors, but by the second movie, societies were already falling apart due to crime and economic problems.
There was the part in the second movie, though, where one gov't group pretending to be part of the DEA wanted to capture the predator, and that Dutch was supposed to have been its leader. (They couldn't continue that because Arnold backed out.)
Another one: noodling for catfish which I think is insane! I don't have the nerve for that.
Good too hear your town's gone back to normal.
Re: the primitive technology but still mastered space travel bit.
My take on that real quick: He (feral) had a preference for using less sophisticated weaponry, but that doesn't necessarily mean the more high tech weapons we've seen in other films weren't available to him. Lot of modern day human hunters chose to use bow and arrows for example (of varying technological sophistication there too). My grandpa prefers his rifle, while my uncle prefers a traditional bow. Sometimes they switch it up and use a compound bow. Either way, I just took that as feral's personal hunting preference to use less sophisticated weaponry.
Predator 1 remains my fav, with Pred 2, Predators and Prey level-pegging.
The Predator obviously comes last.
The only thing I didn't like about Prey was the Predator design. I don't like this obsession with having to re-design it all the time. Its mouth opened far too wide and the bone mask sucked. It reflected more primitive technology - yet they still mastered space travel. Didn't stack-up for me. But aside from the Pred' face and mask, Prey is a solid 8/10.
Hopefully more to come.
Currently reading all the comics. Even the Archie ones!
you dislike Prey because of "its politics".
Your fave youtuber probably said something mean about it and you cried.
