Hello people's. Today I'm talking about another a movie. Here it goes.

So the Friday before last I saw AVP...... Sigh. The movie has a great concept which is that the species of predators has been in contact with human life for quite some time, explaining all the architectural feats some of them reached and a few conspiracy theories here and there. Anyway so a specific temple thing was made in Antarctica when this ancient civilization was still around for the predators to fight Aliens in and they came back every 100 years to do so. I'm not so sure how scientifically possible the whole "Antarctica used to be a jungle" thing is. So a team from Weyland Yutani (Yep you've heard that before) comes to investigate the temple after
It gets picked up by one of their satellites. They get there to find a hole has already been dug down to the temple and go down to investigate it. Apparently it's been a hundred years since the last fight and the predators lured the humans here to be the hosts for the aliens. So pretty soon the team finds themselves in the middle of a war between the two alien races. A great concept done very, very badly. I was hoping to find some vestige of hope in it but yeah it really was as bad as everyone says. One of the biggest problems for me about the storyline was how it seemed like a lot of the movie was cut out. Which is pretty possible considering how they brung A MOVIE FEATURING ALIENS AND PREDATORS AND MADE IT PG-13. Considering this movie isn't all that new I know plenty of other people have ranted about that before BUT STILL COME ON. It felt like 70% percent of the movie was introduction and no action and then a twenty minute rising action with conclusion. Oh right, then that cute little fuzzy green chestburster.

So last Friday I saw Predators. The film starts off with the main character falling through the sky with a strange parachute on his back. He struggles to activate it but it deploys automatically before he hits the ground. He finds himself in a strange jungle with other military or dangerous people from all over the world. They trek across the jungle and learn some disturbing secrets. Like how the planet they're on has more than one moon... And how they're being hunted by something... Or somethings..... DUH DUH DUHHNNNNN

I loved Predators. It introduces the blood feud between the classic predator and the super black predators into the movies for the first time. (It had been used in some Dark Horse predator comics beforehand. ) It also brings the predators back to their own stand alone movie in a while and gets it away from all the AVP stupidness. The plot is BRILLIANT and I love every character and they also have a small tie linking back the the original predator movie which was nice. The movie is all action-horror and rated R THANK GOD. It also has a really good plot twist and the whole IS HE DEAD IS DEAD NOPE NO HES NOT KILL IT KILL IT feeling that all great horror movie conclusions have like Aliens and Terminator.

Well now I guess I've got AVPR next.... Please be better. Anyway I highly recommend watching predators and as for AVP... Yeah you can save that for B horror movie night.
