Robert Rodriguez's PREDATORS Movie Thread - SPOILERS

[Sabres21768]

As I already mentioned in my last post, isnt this situation abit far fetched? They just follow an ordinary looking guy, like Dexter, and look at how he secretly kills?
I mean, I understand the situation, but its weird as hell. I understand them capturing a supahl33tkilla military guy and so forth, but a medical doctor who's a psycho?

Im not trying to bash the idea or anything, infact it looks somewhat original.. But if they make my childhood superhero a perv, that I wont forgive.
But its too early to say since the movie isnt even out.

You're asking if the situation is "far fetched" in a movie where alien head hunters travel from planet to planet, with advanced weaponry, soley for the purpose of taking heads back to their spaceship?

Come on, not everything needs a super detailed explanation as to why it happens. IT'S A MOVIE!
The psycho doctor is a plot device...make up your own reason how and why they picked him...and that will be the reason.

The idea of aliens who are tribal hunters is not far fetched. Its what scifi is all about.
And Im not asking for a detailed explanation. Im just asking for it to make some sense. But if you think otherwise, thats up to you.

Oh and ITS A MOVIE WHICH I HOPE WILL NOT EMBARRASS THE PREDATOR FRANCHISE.

OK, first of all. My opinion does not suck. Why the hostility. Or can't you express yourself in any other way. How rude!]

What's wrong with you people! Everyone's a BAD critic these days!
Why would the movie be a mistake if they focus on the Creature?
Creature from the Black Lagoon! It can be both...right...

Why does the movie have to be structured like the above?
Film is Art!

Don't you think that the the staff working on the film would have devoted there best time and thought about things before they began production on the picture?

I mean c,mon. I highly doubt that Robert Rodriguez takes any note of anything negative said on this forum about his picture, and why should he?

Who does he listen too, the fourteen year old back home from school articulating his opinion, or his own.

This all just seems like nonsense too me.I don't think you can ever know if your film is going to work until its released and received by the public/fans. Steven Spielberg could tell anyone this! Sorry Steve.

But any filmmaker will tell you this. We all want to make the best picture. We all approach a project with the 'this is going to be the best film ever made' frame of mind, and most times it isn't bust some times it is.

I just don't think you can ever tell...

Well, that's just my opinion anyway....

Huh. Lol....

Well, its no different then what police do to track down mafia members, or hard core killers.

It makes perfect sense. They have the tech to go around the world and pick up these badass killers. I mean, it's not really that hard to grasp.

That poster is ____ing sick! And I so love that Original Pred 2.....

 

[fawk3s]

I understand what you guys are talking about, but it seems nonsense in so many points of view.
Why would the predators begin to investigate some murders that even the mankind doesnt seem to know about? From what I understand, this guy is undetected, the kills performed by him not even claimed to be murders.
Why wouldnt they just pick another badass intelligent army man? What, got enough of those?
I mean, I understand that it might have a huge part to play in the plot, but it does make the predator look like a butt-pirate looking down the sky.

 

[CelticPredator]

This is really not hard.

A Predator can track the person's specific pheromone scent. So they see a horrible killing, they can track his ass where ever he is, wherever he went.

And why does it make the Predator look like a butt pirate studying humans? You're seriously overthinking this way too much dude.

 

[Predator vs. Alien]

Only "weeks" away now The wait is killing me!!!! almost as bad as the wait for the T2 Arnold When will we see the HT line???

So what the predators can see a person's karma now? And they can "see" he has killed? What the heck have you been smoking?
I know it's kind of an imagination thing, but I guess mine doesnt reach that level yet.

There clearly seems to be no rational explanation for this situation. You have to accept it. So have I.

You could aswell call it studying, but last I checked, it meant learning the behaviour of an individual from species. What the predators SEEM to be doing here is simply spying you everywhere, even in the shower. Because I dont think the good doctor killed those patients on the street...

 

[CelticPredator]

Oh ____ing jesus christ.

The PREDATORS look AROUND at all the HOT SPOTS in the world where a ton of KILLING goes on. They FIND the person who DID the KILLINGS, and STUDY THEM for a while. Once they feel that the PERSON IS ENOUGH OF A CHALLANGE for them to TAKE to their PLANET, they do so. Then they see how these HUMANS work, they figure out how to make THEMSELVS stronger.

Good lord....

 

[fawk3s]

I really dont think you're getting my point..

Plus I dont think Edwin lives in a warzone.

 

[CelticPredator]

I really dont think you have a point.

They're Aliens. They can have wings that spring from their rear ends, they can use their Dreadlocks as ropes to swing on. They can do whatever they want to, because we dont know what their tech can do.

You need an imagination.

 

[fawk3s]

And I think you finally got it !

My point was the idea with this guy is a tad far fetched. Ofcourse their tech is unknown to us, but if I have to go that imaginative watching the movie, I think I'd rather check out Star Trek.
Predator has never been about that.

Though it may seem like it, Im not actually bashing the movie, and the arguing was more like a sport. I really hope it will turn out good.

 

[CelticPredator]

I'm cool with argueing...but you never had a good argument in the first place.

All movies should require a suspension of disbelief...otherwise, why do we go to them anyway?

 

[Predator vs. Alien]

Imagination you say?? Well how about this......what if they have the P1Re-make use the voice mimic to say 'Get to da Choppa!!!" BUT.... its in Dutch's voice???

 

[Sachiel]

That would be awesome!!

I'm gonna have to go with CP on this. Your point is irrelevant given the whole concept of the movie, alien hunters who hunt humans for sport, is a tad far fetched to begin with, so tossing how they find their marks into the current concept wouldn't be any more far fetched than the concept itself.

You'd have a better argument questioning how Superman is able to pick stuff up while flying.

Well I guess I have to agree that the whole story is far fetched, but if we keep going like this we might as well add ninja polar bears shooting lasers out their eyes in the end.
Though it would've been nice to get a decent explanation, so it wouldnt feel like the predators are nasty pervs recording us everywhere. But maybe we will. The movie is not out yet..

By the way, what kind of weapon is Royce carrying?

Does classic predator have a big role in the new movie?
