I always hope that when it comes to disaster or considering the scale here doomsday movies and TV shows there will be a lot of emphasis on what causes it and the clever ways people find out to solve it (like in Andromeda Strain) but eventually it usually turns out to have 2 percent about the science and miystery and 98 percent of people, usually family members of the main characters running around in a collapsing world trying to survive and reunite. It was funny the first time but this is the 50th such story and I'm bored. Running, screaming, some shooting also people keeping secrets, lying and being stupid. That's what this show mostly is.

And as always at least one scene where some violent thug comes after a main character, luckily gets hit on the head and collapses but instead of making sure he never gets up again and causes anyone harm our heroes choose to run away so he can later get up and pursue them. Terribly annoying.

So don't expect anything outstanding, this stuff can be watched once and kind of enjoyed but then it will be quickly forgotten.

This is basically story and character and not narrative driven fantasy series, with a good budget, actors writing, it's really all professionally made without some strong political/ideological message ruining it all so it's not horrible at all.

It's just... somewhat dull. It's the story and the plot. I mean it's basically about creatures who are basically gods or close to it but otherwise walk and talk and act like spoiled, priviliged and selfish human beings who love to whine about their own personal petty affarais and grievance is not all that much fun to watch. It can actually get pretty annoying eventually as they don't seem to get understand humans much although they live act the same way.

Something is just off. But the visuals, the whole atmosphere of it make it alright and kind of enjoyable to watch if one really thinks of it as a pretty fairy tale (with some horroristic elements) and nothing more.

A really pleasant surprise. Simple and brutal like the original two movies, it even has to Apocalypto vibe if one watches it in Commance language (a really great extra feature) so what's not to like? I mean if someone is a geek that digs the Predator cartoons/universe and is obsessed with the details there could be issues found with the Predator's armament and behaviour but for an avarage sci-fi action fan who has seen the original movies it really is more than authentic enough.

There is some small level of wokeness involved I mean the Commance are pictured as a tad bit too nice a people compared the French settlers who are basically ruthless orc like scum and of course the 90 pound girl who is the best warrior of her tribe stuff isn't exactly hyper realistic but none of these flaws/exaggerations are extreme and it's all mostly made believable (the heroine relies heavily on her speed and flexibilty not raw strenght and her fragility is pretty well demonstrated). So even with slight woke narrative involved the movie remains not narrative but story and character driven therefore unlike many other new flicks that come out these days it's not ruined that way.
