The Predator (2018)
7/10
An entertaining action flick with oodles of gore but the dark tone is missing.
12 January 2021
I first saw this in a theatre in 2018. Revisited it recently.

This is the fourth in the Predator franchise and it has nothing to do with the previous Adrien Brody one.

This time a U.S. Army Ranger sniper disables a Predator and has parts of its armor sent off by mail to prove the existence of extraterrestrial life thereby putting his son's life in danger. The sniper is aided by a group of PTSD-afflicted soldiers and a scientist, who all team up to fight off Predators and discover their plans for mankind.

This one has lots of action n gory moments, some good character development without sacrificing the pace. It is no doubt an entertaining action flick but Predator movies shud have dark n serious tone. I liked the characters but their jokes were silly.

Looking forward for the fifth one which is set during the Civil War. Hope for some good showdowns.

Can someone tell me how Brackett manages to arrive at the crash site n that too so soon?

Can someone tell me what happens to Lynch? The Predator severs his arm with his shoulder cannon. We don't see him get killed by the Predator, and it's interesting to note that the Predator was originally aiming at his head, then moved to sever his arm. If the Predator didn't kill him.....

The Predator's shoulder cannon is known to cauterize wounds?

The scene at Emily's house - the predator kills the agents but dont kno why it spares Emily. Some may say that Emily wasn't armed but so were the scientists. The main problem here is not the sparing of Emily. It is about the editing. The scene darted off to another one without any explanation.
