Review: This movie was great. It’d like an action/comedy/sci-fi/buddy/adventure movie.
For the first time, you really feel for a Yautja. And you see them feel. What I like about Predator is that it’s a true
I love everything that Dan Trachtenberg and Fede Álvarez are doing with the Predator and Alien franchises. The writing is well done because we see a lot of character development in an alien in less than two hours. Elle Fanning is fantastic. And Trachtenberg really created a whole new world filled with a new language and new creatures.

In a world where greed runs rampant… justice is best served radioactive.
Review: I am very happy that this movie was finally released. It was shelved a few years ago after premiering at one film festival. I never thought that I would get the chance to see it, but I am glad that I did.
While I didn’t love it, I did see really enjoy it. The movie still hold ups a lot of the campiness of the original. It also holds up to the original when it comes to over-the-top violence and gore, costumed bad guys, and taking on the major corporations. Just like this was relevant back when the original came out, the storming with the little people overthrowing the people in charge that are screening them over.
Peter Dinklage, Kevin Bacon, and Elijah Wood are great in this movie. Elijah Wood essentially plays the penguin. Kevin Bacon plays a douchebag CEO. His hair in the movie just made me hate his character even more. And Peter Dinklage shines as Toxie. A innocent, shy guy who learns to finally fight for what is right after he becomes toxic.
