Rugged mercenary Royce (Adrien Brody) inherits command of an elite team of human fighters -- including dorky-but-dangerous Edwin (Topher Grace) and tough-but-beautiful Isabelle (Alice Braga) -- as they are hunted by a race of ruthless alien trackers known as Predators. Director Nimród Antal's sci-fi action explosion, which also stars Laurence Fishburne and an uzi-toting Danny Trejo, is a direct sequel to the 1987 blockbuster Predator. - taken from Netflix.com
This is like, what.... Fourth movie in this line? There was "Predator" with Schwarzeneggar; "Predator II" with Danny Glover; "AVP:Alien vs Predator" and "Alien vs Predator : Requiem". So I guess that makes the 5th film. Either way, it kind of goes back to the first original movie. About 8 (or so) humans from Earth awaken while in free fall, to land on what they determine later, is an alien planet. Each of them was selected for a reason, and the movie is spent them 'discovering' why each of them is there, as they are hunted by the Predators. At one point there is reference to the first movie in this series, which I thought was nice, since the last couple weren't even related it seems. Of course, Netflix description states it is a direct sequel to the first one. Overall, I found it a bit boring, and was not happy about the two bigger-named actors being killed off, but that happens. I give it 3 starts, since it at least kept me watching to see how it would end.
