isopodaquarium - 19 June 2024 pretty good! I was definitely skeptical of a predator movie coming out in 2022, let alone an original from hulu, but i was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Plenty of action AND the dog lives.
Sure, some of the special effects were kinda cheesy, and the end was eh, but overall, i'd watch this movie again. I did like the concept of an alien visiting earth in a time like the 1700s (when this movie is set, actually) and i feel like said concept was well played out in this film. Plus, i liked the darkness in the final battle being contrasted with the bright green blood. The acting in this movie was also pretty good, despite a few scenes, but if you're looking for something to watch with action and sci-fi, give this a watch!
zorn907 - 20 May 2024 Dangerous things are, in fact, dangerous The visual language of the movie is very trailershot-y, and pretty unimmersive.
The structure isn't the most elegant either. You basically watch her and the predator do their own respective thing, waiting for them to eventually meet/shi(r)t to get real.
Our leading lady was supposed to feel heroic I guess, seeing as she was often trying real hard to look badass. The script isn't on her side, though, I think, since she usually makes dumb decisions, whenever it counts the most. It's like she constantly forgets that she herself went out there to seek danger, and that dangerous things are, in fact, dangerous. And since she always gets saved by Ex Machina X it never actually feels like it's her vs the wilderness or that thing.
Also her face....don't know how else to put it. :D
The rest of the cast, the dialogue and the story in general aren't good enough to carry anything either. They all look and move like cosplaying nerds who make the least clever decisions in tactical situations.
It's also really unbelievable to me that this movie cost 65 million to make. I mean, where did all that money go? Into animating that clunky looking bear that adds nothing to the story? What?
It's not like this makes the movie worse or anything, it's just surprising, because it very much looks and feels like a low budget amateur project (except for the cg bear, which doesn't look great, but also not cheap (financially speaking)).
