I like how they balance "ancient old technology" with "high technology that overrides local culture", but I wonder if the background of the predator technology in the movie is different from the novel?
I remember the Predator technology all came from another alien race that used to enslave them, until the Predator overthrew them and took all the technology, they basically just fix it, if they can't fix it they throw it aside, the Predator can't Develop new technologies.
I'm not sure but I remember seeing something similar, and if so, the old Predator tech in prey (although it looks awesome) doesn't seem like a good fit.
Anyway, I love the new movie and I can't wait to see more!
