In the cinema: Predators (2010)

I've been a fan of Predator since the 80s, so I needed to see this new flick!

Here's the concept: a collection of very dangerous people from across the Earth are gathered and dropped on a strange planet where they are hunted by a team of Predators. The movie chronicles the chase as the humans AND Predators are taken down one by one.

The movie is a science fiction flick with deep horror overtones. If you like the Freddy or Jason movies this has all teh same dark stalking qualities that make you jump out of your chair. Meanwhile it's got the big guns, assorted weapons and explosions for the lover of action flicks. Put it all together and it's a lot of fun! And, despite Adrian Brody being the lead, extremely watchable. In fact, the entire cast works VERY well in their roles. Brody plays Royce, a mercenary with a flair for leading. He's pretty much in the Schwarzenegger role from the original, down to the new diesel physique and the mud bath for the final showdown.

It only came in #10 last weekend in ticket sales and has grossed less than $50 million so it will be gone from theaters pretty soon. But I can't wait for the DVD release which is bound to have all sortrs of extras.
