Genre: Science fiction, adventure

Rating:  PG-13

Synopsis: A young Predator outcast from his clan finds an unlikely ally on his journey in search of the ultimate adversary.

***

I admit when I saw the trailer for this one I was very nervous. 

My uncertainty with the predator having a companion seemed very out of place for their kind and I was not sure how it would play out in the story. I am glad I was put at ease early on by the type of relationship they had. 

I was also very thankful that they did not have the predator speaking English as I felt he already looked way more human than usual and thought it would take away from what was left of his alien presence. 

Speaking of the predator look, I have to say that I felt something was off about his face. Maybe something to do with his side 'panels' being too long, but they do say he is a younger version and the other Predators showed did not suffer the same look, so I put it to his younger age and not being as buff as the versions we are used to seeing. 

I do have to say though Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi did an amazing job in their respective roles and really brought each character to life. Their chemistry was definiately a highligh in the movie. They both played characters that were very likeable and some scenes had my husband and I laughing out loud. 

I will say that this is not just a kicking ass type movie so if you go in thinking it will be similar to the others in that regard you may be disappointed. They do focus a big portion of the movie on the relationship between the characters, which may deter some. 

However the movie has quite a few great action sequences and the world around them was just breathtaking in its different plants and animal life. The multiple creature designs were pretty cool. 

Final Thoughts

Overall very cool and highly recommend to any predator fan to increase the lore behind their specific customs in regards to their upbringing and hunting. 

Score: Solid 7.5 out of 10. Rewatchable & filled with action. 

Always Keep Fighting. 

You Are Enough.

Arthur Christmas - 2011

Image
  Genre:   Family, Comedy Rating:   PG  Synopsis: Santa and his elite elf team use spy-like stunts to deliver billions of presents to all the world's children in one incredible night. But a child is missed! Now it is up to Santa's youngest son Arthur to fix this slip-up and make good on the promise of Christmas. *** The casting in this movie was perfect. The main character of Arthur is played beautifully by James McAvoy and while the rest of the star-studded cast brought theirs to life with ease, I can not praise James enough. The childlike wonder in Arthur makes you easily root for him and James encapsulates his character perfectly.  Within the first few minutes of the movie, you get a complete sense of who each character is and how they interact with each other. Bad or good.  The storyline is simple and heartwarming with the right amount of action and jokes to keep you interested even after the credits roll. The animation is smooth and will be sure t...

Love, Death + Robots - Volume 3

  Netflix Original - No copyright intended Genre : Science fiction TV, TV thriller, TV horror Rating: TV MA After the glorious success of the last volume, I was hoping and praying that this would live up to the hype. Admittedly I was disappointed again seeing it was only 9 episodes, however, it did not disappoint.  Three Robots: Exit Strategies = 4 out of 10 Bad Travelling = 8 out of 10 The Very Pulse of the Machine = 7 out of 10 Night of the Mini Dead = 7 out of 10 Kill Team Kill = 8 out of 10 Swarm = 6 out of 10 Mason's Rats = 6 out of 10 In Vaulted Halls Entombed = 8.5 out of 10 Jibaro = 7 out of 10 Final Thoughts This volume was filled with crazy journeys, incredible visual effects, and just insane situations. This volume was filled with some amazing additions and others, while gorgeous and well-acted, were just hard to understand and keep up with. My favorite hands down were In Vaulted Halls Entombed. If you watch it you'll understand why. I want either a video game or a...

Netflix Original Jurassic World Chaos Theory - Season 3

Image
  Genre:  Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Dinosaur Action Rating:   TV-Y7 Synopsis:   The Nublar Five finds themselves in Italy, near the border, after a plane crash involving a cargo dinosaur and a familiar face, while coming to terms with Brooklyn's actions.  *** After the end of season 2 I was not looking forward to this season, but I am so glad I gave it a chance. The voice actors did a great job at continuing their growth and embodying their characters very well. Dealing with the aftermath of season 2 there is a lot of talking and as my hubby pointed out, a lot of teen angst, even though I'm pretty sure the characters are supposed to be in their early twenties. I did defend them on this front as the situations they were dealing with would throw off people much older. Just keep in mind a lot of talking. With all the storylines and talking, this does leave room for a few dinosaurs but not enough in my opinion. Though I did appreciate another connection to the...
