Plot: Cast out from its clan, an alien hunter and an unlikely ally embark on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.
This new predator film was good.
Pros: It manged to deliver most of the badassery action spells under the PG-13 Rating. How the opening helped sets up the movie in a spectacular way. I like how the movie uses humour. This new predator was quite unique because he is the first to have a name. Elle Fanning was really good as Dek’s android assistant & how well I got sympathy following through dek’s quest to get back home to slay his father.
Cons: My only issue was with the villains being lame & underdeveloped.
