Like Keyes said in in Predator 2, they're hunters attracted to Heat and conflict. Wouldn't putting them in say Syria or The Congo make a ton more sense and actually be relevant?

Or does that make too much sense?
I enjoyed Predator 1 and 2 because it walked the line between an action movie and a Horror movie , I would have loved a war scenario like you said to move it up a notch but ultimately I will be looking for that action horror balance.

A lot people seem to be taking the kid controlling the ship via that device pretty literally. I guess that could be the case but I interpreted that as a form of symbolism. We as kids imagine beings from outer space crashing down to Earth. In this kids world it actually happened and it's just the narrative for the trailer. I'd be surprised if it's anything more than that.

No, the kid learns the language and can fly the ship.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic. If so isn't that what I am pointing out without being rude? If you're not, where is that information coming from?

The movie looks to be shot mainly with studio sets which gives that artificial look especially with the forest scenes... I'm guessing it has a small budget, I don't hold out to much hope for this one..

PHP Code:

"The Hollywood Reporter said Tremblay’s character was autistic and could help fight “due to his preternatural ability to learn languages.” However, that’s been removed from the article, so either his character’s being changed, or that wasn’t supposed to be revealed yet. "[/QUOTE][/CODE
You would think it would be easy to find the icon for a spoiler tag in case someone wants to cry about it. I couldn't find one.

I'm mean, there's a sticky that says, "Spoilers don't do it" yet, where is a freaking spoiler tag function button?

Simply post a quote and replace the word “quote” with the word “spoiler” and it’ll wrap it in a spoiler tag.
