inksb wrote:I really enjoyed this. It felt very much like a Shane Black movie but in the Predator universe. Let's all be honest here, Predator is one of the few movies in his filmography that doesn't quite feel like the rest. I thought a lot of humor worked really well, the cast was good (except the lead, who the hell is that guy? he's not great). I loved that the first half we actually got a legit practical Predator as well. It's not a perfect movie but it's a fun one.

ScoJo wrote:Nah, bruh. That's Striking Distance. Mercury Rising is the one with Bruce is a rogue Fed, Alec Baldwin is a black ops agent, and a kid is an Autistic kid who cracks an uncrackable code so Baldwin and his cronies are tracking him down while Bruce tries to save him from certain peril. It's the exact same movie but with Predators. And jokes.

I call bullshit. There are always new and willing effects artists, there is no way that paying for a few days worth of shooting with them is that much of a difference than paying a "crack" team of digital effects artists. How about you take 500k out of the 20million you set aside for advertising and use it to make the film better. It's the fucking Predator, people are going to see it no matter what.
