awildshamsy

The good bits. A few nods to the other movies. Enjoyed that. The characters were amusing enough. There was plenty of action. The predators were cool Some smiles and funny enough moments.

The bad bits. Look, it wasn't bad, but there was not a lot of thinking. I could have written the script and it was utterly predictable who was who and what they'd do. A few silly bits. Recoiless shotgun. Infinite ammo perk. A big, in your face insert of climate change nonsense. A terrible ending that made me wince. I'm pretty sure based just on that the next movie will suck. Stick with the old formula. Predator arrives, bunch of dudes fight it and die or ultimately triumph.

Glad I watched it, shame about the immersion break and the promise of future mediocre.

Already been said a few times, but these episodes were too long. The first on dragged on forever and was pretty boring. Could have cut it down significantly and told the same story. The second was not particularly engaging either. Plot done in the first 5 minutes, now show me the rest of the story. Third and fourth, much better, but still to long. Get these to 40 minutes please. Much closer to success.

Expect the usual inserted politics too. It really drags you out of the immersion. It's such a shame entertainment is not past this, but there you go, 2020.

All together, a good attempt to replicate something better (Black Mirror). But gee, it was a slog at times. Give it a go, you've been warned though.
