It's a mixed bag. As the credits started to roll, I sort of felt a little letdown. I overall enjoyed it, it's certainly a brisk thrill ride that's not boring, but I am having a hard time accepting some of the new ideas added to the Predator mythos. I miss the days when they were simply alien hunters from another world. All the new stuff about genetics, DNA, upgrades, invasions, why the Predators are collecting skulls/spines... I dunno, it's a bit convoluted now and didn't sit well with me. At least the practical effects with the Fugitive Predator are pretty great and I loved the Loonies crew. The Upgrade Predator was fine, although some of the CG gets shoddy here and there.
I think Predators went in the better direction. The way this one ends, I'm not sure what they're going to do next (if we even get a sequel). That ending is just....batshit. The Fugitive's motives aren't entirely clear, but his gift to mankind is going to leave some of you fuming.
a MARGINAL 3/5 for me. I definitely want to see it again though.
