-Great visuals and music -Very atmospheric feel...the wilderness feels like a character of its own which makes it the most immersive movie of the franchise -I could be very critical of the script and the fact that there are not much memorable characters/not much nuance but this is a predator movie not call me by your name 2 ... -Very satisfying action (some of my favourite in the series ) apart from one scene with bad cuts (Naru vs the other comanche guys) -Also good pacing and length..doesn't overstay its welcome and I'd watch a sequel... I recommend.

Excellent production value, and it is very well made, can't save this film from falling into the all-too-common trap of having the central character without flaws, being able to achieve superhuman feats and general unrealistic portrayals that diminishes the films believability.

If a character achieves some incredible physical feat or overcomes a situation that they have no realistic way of achieving then the film loses all it's danger against the protagonist. If they can survive that, they will survive anything.

Immediately a film audience should be immediately emotionally disconnected Hollywood is essentially so focused on gender and identity politics that theyve forgotten to make their characters real people.

If theyre so determined to have strong female characters then look to women like Ripley. Here's a person who overcame the odds because she had no choice. She suffered great trauma and had to deal with it's after effects which is shown within the film. She has to overcome her own personal demons and fears in order to even begin to tackle greater problems. Necessity is the mother of Invention. Ripley was a survivor and she did what she had to do to save those she loved. She was not a flawless exuberant talented Mary Sue like Rey from Star Wars and the girl from this film and practically every other production these days. These people are caricatures.

Here as in many other films today, particularly in regards to female characters they are presented without any personal weaknesses or hurdles to overcome. Worse still, they present all men as weak, disposable, unlikable, something to be despised and of course they must be the enemy as well. How is this promoting equality or Unity? How is this inclusion? This just creates more division which is obviously occurring. You can simply scroll through the reviews here and in practically every other film or series that Hollywood makes today and see what's happening. They are personally responsible for generating reams of hate. This won't end well.

Ironically this film was written and directed by two white men. My suspicion is that films do not get the budgets or even greenlit unless they tick these, what's becoming stereotypical, gender identity boxes.

No film can be successful without good characters. Even story is second to a realistic person that people can identify with. Including and especially, all their shortcomings struggles. It's one of the very basics of scriptwriting. Hollywood seems to forgotten that.

They are actually providing a very poor example to young girls who think what they see on the screen is true. That they can beat up guys and tackle any situation and overcome without having to learn any skill or work around problems that arise. They can literally just do anything they want in these films.

And what sort of example does it set to young boys. They are worthless? That they are evil and useless? No one seems to be wanting to add them into the inclusion mix today. Males don't matter. Especially white males.

This is really a terrible era that we're in and Hollywood is responsible for a lot of it. That and social media where a lot of this started. Self-interested groups got together and made a lot of noise making it seem like they were much more powerful than they really were. The media jumped on board and Hollywood followed. Soon companies and government jumped in too believing they were all doing the right thing or perhaps they just didnt want to be on the outer. No one wanted to have the moralistic finger pointed at them so they joined in lest they be ridiculed too.

It's really a power grab and nothing more with films, advertising and TV as part of the propaganda. Even if you analyse it on a purely basic entertainment level, they fail miserably. This film is just one example.

The audience can suspend their belief that there exists a powerful alien. They know far better than to accept an all-powerful Mary Sue. At least for those who like their entertainment with a shred of credibility.

Watching the Hollywood machine take your favourite childhood movies, TV shows and books and butcher them over and over and over again. It's growing tiresome.

The Predator itself is a macguffin, Hollywood have somehow turned a macguffin into a franchise, each film worse than the last.

This latest effort is a snooze. There is no suspense, nothing new is added to the Predator mythology, the action descends into farce. The action can just about stay within suspension of disbelief until the little girl starts directly fighting the Predator and winning. She sustains blows that would render Thor a tetraplegic and just keeps on going. What a gal.

This is the Predator franchise reduced to a cartoon for tween girls who cannot even watch the film due to its certification.

I'm getting really sick of watching the latest effort in a popular entertainment series and thinking to myself "I hope they don't make anymore".
