As strange as it may sound, for once, I was grateful that this film’s trailers weren't very compelling. Not that they were entirely inept, but my initial thoughts on the Yautja's (the Predator species) character design were not positive. I thought it was weaker compared to the previous versions, repulsive even.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I dismissed this film, even after the Predator franchise was given a new lease of life by Prey and, most recently, the decent animated anthology, Killer of Killers.
