Feels like someone swapped the tape. Instead of Predator, we got a Disney adventure for kids. Where's the dirt, the sweat, the fear - the snap of branches and that primal feeling that something smarter, colder, deadlier is hunting you? It's all drowned in glossy shots and cringey teen dialogue.

Once, Predator with Arnold was about survival and raw instinct. Man versus monster. Blood and adrenaline. Now the Predator himself seems to have forgotten why he even hunts. In Dangerous Lands, the only real danger is catching secondhand cringe by the 20th minute.

And here's the thing - the Predator isn't even seeing right anymore. Canonically, his natural vision is just a black-and-blue static blur (or something). He relies on his mask and scanning modes to detect heat and motion. That limitation used to make him terrifying - a blind hunter who adapts.

With every sequel, the franchise drifts further from its essence. The prey isn't prey anymore, and the predator isn't a predator. More Disney, less dread. Where's the grit, the tension, the rasp of breath under the jungle canopy?

At this rate, the next movie will probably be called "Predator and Friends." In the style of Teletubbies. Teaching friendship, empathy, and kindness toward alien hunters.

Alien: Earth - A Review When I first heard about a new TV series set in the "Alien" universe, I had two thoughts. First: finally! Second: please don't mess it up. Now that the series is out and I've watched it, I can say that it broke two unwritten but very important rules.

The first rule: Aliens don't belong on Earth. It's simply taboo. These monsters are perfect hunters in space, on derelict ships, and on bleak planets. That's where they're at home. But on Earth? It's like Predator coming to work as an office accountant. Yes, other aliens have been on Earth-Predator and many others-but the Alien is different. It's not just a creature from a horror story; it's a terror that lives in the darkness of space. And to drag it into the light and chaos of our planet-it just doesn't feel right.

The second, and even more crucial, rule is that you can't train an Alien. It's not a dog on a leash. It can be smart, and it might make a compromise when it sees danger, but it's always its own master. It's an ultimate predator, not a tool in someone's hands. The way the series showed the Aliens being trained was both laughable and sad. It completely killed their individuality and the terrifying power that made them so unique and scary.

So what do we have? Great visuals and a good soundtrack, but the fundamental rules have been broken. It's like watching "The Terminator" where Skynet doesn't want to destroy humanity but instead helps old people cross the street. So, if you're looking for something new and aren't afraid of your ideas about the Alien changing, you can watch it. But for me, it was mostly a disappointment.

I'm genuinely furious. This film is a full-on disaster for common sense. Everything is absurdly stupid - from the script to the characters' behavior.

There's hardly any plot to speak of. Instead of a coherent story, we get a pathetic excuse for intrigue - something about "collecting blood samples." The rest is just empty space, disconnected scenes, and aimless noise. It feels like the writers just gave up, hoping that big names and dinosaurs would carry the film.

But even the dinosaurs are missing. What we get instead are grotesque mutant creatures that inspire neither fear nor awe - only disgust. Where's the grandeur of the ancient world? Where's the spirit of adventure? Everything is drowned in a CGI mess.

And let's not forget the behavior of the main characters. It's not just stupid - it's insulting. It feels like they're competing to see who can make the dumbest decision every minute. Watching it is physically painful.

And then there's the architecture and technology. Are you kidding me? You're on an island full of predators, and everything makes noise - doors bang, systems whir, everything clatters. It's as if the designers intentionally made it easier for dinosaurs to find and eat everyone. Total nonsense.

In conclusion: this film is hollow, annoying, and completely disrespectful to the audience. No plot, no sensible characters, no proper dinosaurs. Just noise, stupidity, and monstrosities. A "rebirth"... into something much, much worse.
