So here’s the shit I’ve read about the movie
- Bad cinematography
- Bad CGI
- Dumb fights
- Dumb Predator
- Naru isn’t a good hunter
Cinematography is excellent. Photography, soundtrack, sound effects, the scenery is just impressive.
All the CGI was on point. Didn’t see Naru leaping trees like Wonder Woman or Neo on The Matrix. I’ve seen very bad CGI on Big Blockbusters. Nobody complains. Only bad CGI was the mountain lion, which is understandable because big cats are far from safe to work with, even trained ones.
Fights weren’t dumb. The Predator engaged in almost all fights at the level of its opponents. When it crouched in front of the wolf, when it brawled with the bear, when it used projectiles against the indian with the bow, the spear against the indian with the spear, multiple weapons against the french which fought together. The name of this predator is also FERAL which literary means when a domesticated animal returns to their wild, undomesticated state. This predator was fearless, brutal, and behaved more like a wild animal. It’s also another race/breed. Possibly one of the first hybrids, if not that the super predators are completely separate species that evolved from a common ancestor.
People saying Predator lost half the neurons in the last fight… HE WAS SHOT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!! Literally a chunk of its brain flew out. Humans start drooling when hit hard in the head and can’t even coordinate eyesight…
Naru wasn’t a bad hunter, but neither was great.Taabe was and in the end proved to be even better warrior than the Predator, it having to cloak and hide in order to beat him. Tabee hunted for his tribe and fed them relying only on primitive weapons. Mad props to him. Now, Naru was a “great tracker”. She paid attention to detail, and that didn’t change throughout the movie. In the end that was what saved her. She made constant observations of how the predator behaved, its tactics and weapons and adjusted her tactics accordingly.
In the final battle, was Naru “just lucky”? Yeah, that’s part of the “Hollywood” fantastical narrative for the hero to be a hero. Having the Predator win is not something most people wanna see.
Movie was awesome. 9/10 for me. Just as enjoyable as the originals P1,P2 and Predators (my favorite)
