Oh boy, what a load of crap this movie is.
I don't know where to begin with why this movie fails horribly. It's just a huge mess through and through. There is not one thing I liked about the movie, not one.
The story and the pacing was atrocious. It moves from location to location in such a nonsensical manner that you don't really understand how much time has passed or where they are. You are just along for the ride, and man did I want off this ride. In fact, I could have sworn over 2 hours had passed only to look at my phone and realize it had only been an hour and a half.
The characters leave a lot to be desired. At worst they are forgettable, at worst I was rooting for them to just die already. I remember when watching the original and thought to myself how the movie was missing a subplot about a child dealing with autism and becoming closer to his father, thankfully they fixed that and added it to this movie. Seriously though, aside from how patronizing the whole movie is to people dealing with Autism, it is just a very strange subplot for this kind of movie.
The action is OK sometimes, but it feels almost like I am watching a slapstick routine half the time. The predators themselves no longer worry about stealth or tactics, they are just invincible killing machines. the group of ex military dudes just act like buffoons. If you really must watch it, just wait till you can stream it or rent it from redbox. This movie does not deserve to succeed.
