What film did you watch last night?

[Pduk]

I skipped that one, as its been superseeded by soon to be trilogy that Dan Trachtenberg is doing, but you're right it kind of passed people by as despite it sounding good, it didn't review well and got kinda forgotten.

I'll be honest, when I saw it was on I actually thought it was the Adrian Brody film and maybe I'd mis-remembered there being a 'The' in the title 🤦‍♂️

Watch a bit of Predators if you can, Adrian Brody is channelling his inner Batman with the way he talks, stupid gravelly voice lol.

Surge, on Iplayer.

Superb performance by Ben Whishaw portraying a bloke having a mental health breakdown. Quite a tough watch at times, soundtrack and wobbly camera work helping contribute to the mood.

Not quite sure what the point/message of it was supposed to be, but worth watching for the central performance alone.

6/10

I've actually seen it a couple of times, felt it was a decent modern take on the original. Iirc it was billed as a remake and does borrow a few bits from the first film, but also directly references it too.

The Predators (I've just remembered) features Predator Pooches (I'm sure there's a proper more scary name) but in the film at one point there is a moment of playing fetch with one of these pooches Which leads to a multitude of questions, one being, how did it learn the game fetch? Are we expected to believe that the Predator in it's leisure time would take Rex for a walk and play games?

I may be over thinking this a little!

Fetch? Was there? Did one of them throw a grenade or something like that that the dog chased and caught, and blew up? Good questions BTW!

I watched it first by chance on a flight, and for some reason it was completely unedited so whilst the kid next to me couldn't hear itz they could certain see all the gory details lol.

Laurence Fishburne is hilarious in this as well, it's a pity it's only a glorified cameo as his invisible friend schtick was good, and as a twist could have turned out be an actual friendly predator.

Believe it or not, the hound chased a stick that one of the hero humans threw I didn't mention (spoiler alert) the hound turns against the predator and becomes loyal to the human (s). I guess the predator just didn't give it enough fusses and belly rubs
