A few days ago I had watched Predator. It's a funny story because I'd asked to get Predators on Bluray for Christmas and when I opened the present I discovered the 80's Predator had been purchased for me. I'm glad I was given it because it looked great on Bluray, despite the whining of some videophiles. Needless to say I was determined to get Predators and bought it the next day in the Boxing Day sales.
It's a big risk rebooting a film that a lot of people have grown to love and despite its flaws people still love Predator. But I honestly think that Predators works, it's a film that identifies the reasons people love Predator but throws them into a new situation. This time they've been kidnapped by the Predators and dropped on a planet for the Predators to hunt. The group of killers have to survive.
My biggest love about the film is because it never tries to be Predator, what it tries to be is an homage to Predator and it does it really well. Things are taken up a notch for 2010's viewers but it never loses the elements I loved from Predator. There is the hunt, the group of killers who are slowly dwindled down to one who then battles a Predator. It's so much fun without ever taking itself too serious. If you loved Predator watch Predators and have a blast.
