[Macularius]

Looks awesome so far.

This has a 15 certificate in the UK with no cuts made

That trailer had a texas chainsaw massacre vibe to it with that guys voice.

crazy, I thought the same on the guys voice

 

[CelticPredator]

Still just waiting and seeing.

Script was good. I still stand by that.

Ah , that's good , I'm going with a 17 year old mate and was wondering if we'd have to sneak in.

Looking good, but I won't get my hopes too high...

Cuchillo is from Los Zetas??... !!!

"I can be invisible too"

Sorry guys, but that is on a par if not worse than (is that possible) AVPR. Looks like "Predator - The TV series".

Of course all IMHO.

But that looks just ____.

Sorry but that looks terrible.

Another thing: The parachutes they all have.. Predator made!? If so, lmmfao.

 

[GDZILLA95]

IMO, everything that I've seen looks pretty good.
I'm still not 100% sold on the new preds' facial
features, but hopefully they will look better on the
big screen.

 

[fawk3s]

I dont know I kinda liked it... Does that make me weird?
And why cant preds know about parachuting? Air drag is basic physics, and their tech is obviously more advanced than ours. They didnt look funny either, so I dont get your point.

For the record, I hated AVPR. Just incase you're wondering.

Guys, you do realise that a lot of stuff in this video is behind the scenes stuff mixed in with a bit of movie footage, and the talking heads are most likely for DVD extras.
I mean just before Royce says, step where I step, and do what I do, there is a guy with a camera standing right in front of him, then it goes thermal vision, which has clearly been added by the guys making this video.

 

[CelticPredator]

I dont agree with Dev, but I sorta do. They could've come up with a better idea then chutes. When I read it in the script, I didnt think it was Alien enough.

 

[fawk3s]

The only other solution I can think of is they just wake up in the jungle. But that would make me wonder if the preds placed them there gently.
Any smarter way to increase air drag? Think we would've thought of that.

 

[Devil_666]

Because it's stupid and really lame. Think about it: These are aliens that are far more advanced than us when it comes to technology (like you mentioned). They have laser guns on their shoulders. They have the tech to make themselves virtually invisible. All of their weaponry is made of a material that's lighter than any metal here on Earth but also stronger than any metal we have here on Earth. And they have spaceships capable of traveling vast distances, far more advanced than any spacecraft here on Earth.

But they use parachutes!?

Again, these are aliens and this is alien technology. The sky's the limit. You could do whatever you want with it and it wouldn't seem out of place because it's Sci-Fi and alien tech. And they come up with parachutes.

Hell.. imagine the same scene with the people falling. And right when they're about to hit the ground and it looks like they're gonna be smashed the harness/device on their chest lights up and then a huge force field bubble (Think Halo) surrounds them so when they smash into the ground it leaves a crater but the humans are undamaged (still hovering in mid-air). Then the force field disappears and they get a short fall to the ground (same effect). Like a wake up call just in case they weren't conscious.

You could do a lot of different things. But they picked Predator Parachutes.

I think people feel that parachute design seems so out of place to any of the other things associated with the Predators.

Dude don't worry about what other people think, go and see the film, and if you like it and they dont, ____ em

 

[CelticPredator]

Predachutes. I'd use one!


But yeah, I kinda agree. I dont hate the chutes, but I think they could've done better. Maybe not a forcefield, but perhaps some sort of spindly spider web thing that shoots out of the pack and latches onto trees?

Was this shot HD? Looks like ____, RED cam can be cool if used properly.
This just looks cheap.


...IMHO!

Anything. Like I said.. sky's the limit. Predachutes.

 

[CelticPredator]

It IS cheap... 40 million bucks.

And also, most of Fox's films are filmed with cheap cameras. They make every film look cheap. Except Avatar, since that was Cameron's Camera.

Which was used to great effect in The Final Fantasy Movie. Not sure which came first.
