    I planned on checking it out tomorrow. It might end up being better than Badlands which I'm sure has a way bigger budget.

    I feel like them deciding to do the young predator's head in CGI was a big no-no. Practical is always better for them because they look so real. Even the original Predator from 1987 still holds up today and still gives me chills down my spine when he confronts Dutch like this...they did such a great job of making it be alien, but look real for a rubber suit.



    ...another favorite part of the movie from me that gives me chills when Dutch calls out the predator. What a fucking battle cry man...

    Predator very well may be the greatest film ever made lol... It's definitely in my Top 10.

    It's sad that Prey is the best sequel we ever got... Prey was a solid film... everything else was either mediocre or crap.



    There's actually a Predator movie that I've never watched: Alien v Predator 2 Requiem.

    Don't. It's the second worse Predator film in the whole franchise behind "The Predator" by Shane Black. AvP2 is so dark that you can't tell what's going on half the time in the movie.

    Yep, pretty good rewatchablity too. I watch it a few times a year usually. I remember when they remastered it and put it out in 4K. There were parts in the movie where I could see the Predator in camo, but couldn't before.

    I agree. Prey was solid. There were a few nitpicks I didn't like. In a couple scenes you could tell they used CGI on the face, but others it looked practical. I wish as they were revealing the Predator they wouldn't of show him so earlier (ie: getting off the ship and the ship leaving him, hunting the wolf, etc). Introducing the Predator for the first time in the bear scene would've been much better IMO.

    I agree. I have it on blue ray and end up re watching it more than almost any other movie. I also remember back in the day either USA or TBS would play it so often. Friday too. They would play those two movies every night it seemed

    Production quality looks really good for a show. Love the horror tone. Alien franchise should be sci-fi horror most of the time.

    yeah the production honestly is movie level, if it wasn't for the FX network logo, I'd think it was a film. glad it got the budget and personnel to make it look good bc a big part of that franchise is visuals. only 2 months away too, not bad.

    Plus you learn so much stuff about the movie behind the scenes like how Jean Claude Van Damme was originally the Predator and in a more slimmer form doing ninja shit. And they filmed some of it then scrapped it because it was so bad. Thank god they scrapped that.

    The actors were super competitive with each other. Arnold would always try to one up everyone when working out. He had his whole home gym flown in and installed in the hotel the crew stayed at.

    Shane Black (the jokester Hawkins) wanted to wear legit military combat goggles, but they made him wear those big ass goofy glasses. Also originally instead of him wearing that camo baseball cap they wanted him to wear a red beret, but Black thought that would look dumb as f*ck running around in a jungle as a guerilla rescue team in a red beret. Most if not all of his jokes in the movie were improv. Also, the only reason Black wanted to be cast in the first place was to act and not do rewrites on the script. Because the filmers liked his writing on Lethal Weapon. So in the movie this is why Hawkins (Black) is killed first because the director knew Black wasn't going to do rewrites and his acting was horrid. So they killed him early to cut ties with him early.

    This looks amazing actually.

    I think going the "Spiderverse" route allows for so much more great action that simply does not feel right when done with real people. It just works. The audience already has to suspend reality with these movies, we don't need real humans in them.
