If you readers have been following, last week I had watched all of the Predator movies and the movies Predator is involved in such as Alien vs. Predator for the arrival of the latest offering to the widely-popular horror action movie series, Predators. However, Predators doesn’t live up to the first movie and it doesn’t live up to the second either. Predators has the most simplistic and most tedious storylines I’ve ever encountered in a movie as it’s simply a game of violent cat-and-mouse thrown in with some people who are either careless maniacs or just plain and uninteresting. Also, the subplot they added to the movie with Nolad’s character didn’t help matters either.
The movie follows Adrien Brody’s character Royce, who is abducted by an alien race and released along with seven other professional killers on an alien planet. On the planet, they meet Nolad, who is played by Laurence Fishburne, who has been surviving on the planet for years and tells the group they were chosen so the Predators could train their skills and so, the group must find a way to survive and escape the planet. It would have probably been a little more enjoyable if the movie didn’t take itself too seriously. The main problem with Predators, apart from taking itself seriously, is the whole story. It just started to bore me within minutes of the movie starting and it tries to make up for it by mindless violence and gore and even then, the action scenes didn’t catch my attention. The movie started okay as we jump right into the action but soon after the group land on ground and the dialogue starts, that was when the movie started to lose interest and credibility and that was when the unnecessary scenes started. The characters talked about nothing interesting and didn’t really talk about anything that was relevant to the movie, it was mostly pointless and quite annoying at times.
