The Review

Being a big sci-fi fan, in particular Predator and Alien franchise series, I was really hoping this sequel to the 1987 original won’t suck.

Well it didn’t disappoint me, but however I was not pleased when one of the main character died far sooner than I expected.

The film itself gave me more insights to the aliens we all know and love as Predator. This is a bonus for die-hard fans like me.

Plot wise, there’s nothing original there, still there’s enough entertainment value.

Put in eight of the most dangerous people around together, with their weapons and all, expect an awesome firefight when they’re faced with the Predator.

The ending itself serves a continuation of a possible trilogy in the future.

The Good

• Excellent CGI
• Movie well-paced

The Bad

• Some deaths/scenes doesn’t make sense
• Not ideal for the kids, has violent scenes
