The ending leaves you fiending like a crackhead for more😂
I absolutely loved how Dek made weapons out of the animals and plants he encountered on Genna. It definitely paralleled Dutch using the jungle as a weapon and I loved how he used that one eel as a makeshift shoulder cannon
Weyland Yutani's HR Dept: Maybe we don't send humans.
Film was really great. Glad they didn't have Dek getting beat up in some sort of redemption arc..Glad they showed he was skilled off from the start. Really like this film
Hell yes!! Going see it tonight !! I dont mind spoilers my spoiler bro.
More movies set on Yautja Prime?! Sign me up!! I’m hyped!!
When Dek and Kwei were fighting I was like "how the fuck did Arnold and others beat a predator
Alan Ritchson as Dutch's brother from concrete jungle comic lore would be dope to include into this universe.
"2018 that fantastic movie The Predator" love that classic British sarcasm lol
