Just got back from the premiere and been chewing this over on the journey home. I actually ended up sat next to Dan. I just looked across and was like "is that Dan?!" And it was. Chatted to him a little after the film was done. Really looking forward to having him on the poddy.
But yeah, not getting into details, that was f**king awesome. Objectively better than Predators (and you know how much I love Predators). Very tight, very focused. It's very much Naru's (with Tabe as support) film, and it works for it. Doesn't feel like it was only 90 minutes, and I don't mean that in a bad way. On a technical level, I thought it worked fantastically.
Dane was awesome. I just loved Feral's portrayal. Lot's of cool creature stuff for sure, that I can't wait to talk about more. Just the way he looked and moved was amazing. That mask is really something. It looks fantastic. Not too sure on the unmasked face though.
There's only one thing that really bugs me about how the film was handled, which I can get into later. But all in all, really f**king good experience. A perfect example of how flexible the Predator franchise is and how well it can work. I really can't wait to see this again.
