There are scenes and characters (and even weapons) which are so reminiscent of the first film that they would not be out of place in a remake. This film returns to the original Predator format, and borrows heavily from the first 1987 Predator film.
I think it is important to go into this film with the right expectations. It was actually quite good, and I'll tell you why (no spoilers I promise). I almost gave this film a miss, but I'm glad I didn't. 'Is this film going to be another steaming pile of disappointment like the AVP films?' And the answer, happily, is 'No', though after having to sift through all the unhelpful and uninformative 1 rater reviews here, I never would have guessed.
Before I took a chance on this film there was really only one question I wanted answered.
