Predators

Predators is the latest movie based off the original classic 1987 film Predator. It stars Adrien Brody alongside Alice Braga. A key thing about this movie is that it ignores all the other sequels that have been released since the original film. AJ MR team member Jared saw the new movie on opening weekend, his review follows:

Predators is a top notch sequel to the long running franchise. The thing that sets this one apart from the drab and unnecessary sequels of the past is this one was especially made to be a sequel. You can tell that time and effort was put into making this a good Predator movie. The cast performed well and they were a good ensemble. You could really feel the tension between the different characters. The CGI was good and never unrealistic. Even the Predator's thermal vision got a new upgraded look which just added to the authenticity of it all.

The main thing that I was pleased with was with the way the first film was constantly referenced. Now, when I say that I don't mean that the characters talk about the original film every five minutes. There are subtle references that are sprinkled in along the way. Thebackground music is the same as the original and even some of the character's lines and actions are throwbacks to the original. And for those of you who have payed close attention to the original, stay for the beginning of the end credits, you should be in for a surprise.

Overall, Predators was a long needed jump start to the franchise that captures the magic of the original movie. If you have the time you should definitely..... GO NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
