Predators - 2010

Finally another 'predator' film that's decent. I liked this film, it's intriguing and well done. From the start, where the main character Royce (Adrien Brody) wakes up while falling off the sky, which is not the best way to do it, of course. He has no idea how he got there, no idea of where 'there' is, nothing, just like the other people he meets. They all have combat skills, except a doctor (Topher Grace). ... Now, of course he's not just that, not really, not at all, because what would a doctor do there? Wouldn't he be much of a prey, would he?
 When they wander around and found empty cages you start feeling the glimps of a thrill, because maybe the characters don't know, but we've seen the title, we know what that means :-)
Then they go higher and can finally look at the sky, and realise they're not on Earth anymore, like many less-fortunate Dorothys. Of course they don't know which planet they're on, how could they, it's not like we have seen lots of pictures of alien worlds, right? The first to die is Danny Trejo's character.
When they meet the 'predators', there's also a nice memory, when Isabelle tells the rest of them about the first encounter with them, which is the story of the first film and how he could defeat the predator, with the mud story. Then they meet Noland (Lawrence Fishburne), very cool, who has survived a long time on that planet, surviving alone. I know what he does to them is not very nice, but come on, years spent on that planet, living as a prey, only trying to survive. He's bound to be a bit crazy! Cool, anyway.
One by one other three of them die, killed by the predators, but they would have made good klingons, because they die, yes, but bringing their enemy down with them!
Now that leaves Royce, Isabelle and the doctor.
The little doctor turns out to be a psycho, a murderer, when he almost kills Isabelle. Almost. Instead it's them, giving him the end he deserves, but can't escape because the last predator destroys his ship, so they can't leave. In the end, after all the predators have been killed, Royce and Isabelle see other people being parachuted on the planet, and they head back into the jungle.
I guess it's because now that there are new preys, new predator will arrive. With their own functioning spaceship, and they'll try to take it from them. Of course it's not known how they'll manage to use it, if eventually they should succeed in getting on one. But that's for another story :-)
After lots of crappy sequels, this one was good. I liked it, a good action movie.
