There are 3 aspects of the film that I believe makes it a good basic sci-fi if not a good sci-fi horror film which are the main theme on autism, the predator technology and finally the basic story development.
First of all, nothwithstanding the violence, the gore or the low level plot that demands careful listening in order to understand the story , one aspect of the film's written reviews on The predator that is missing, is not having focused on the central theme which is autism.
From the beginning when we first encounter Rory McKenna (Jacob Tremblay) we sense something peculiar with him. When in a classroom he reveals to be autistic the story goes on to have him discover how the alien technology functions and later that the Super predator wants to capture him to take his DNA.
In addition, Casey Bracket (Olivia Munn) mentions that the future generation of humans will be autistic, nothing more is said on how that will come about. Will it be by a new alignment of planets? The increase of vegetarian meals? A rise of non smoking societies? Vaccines supposedly responsible for the rise of autism children will be forced on children in order to have superchildren? Or...
The second aspect which makes it a good science fiction film is the alien or predator technology. Let's admit it, the predator technology is just grandiose. I hope such technology will exist in case a new world war is started. It will give hope to humanity that the war won't last long. Especially when we see the predator armour at the end and Quin McKenna (Boyd Holbrook) says it will be his armour.
Finally, the basic plot based on low humour, gratuitous violence that some scences could have been avoided to let more explaining by the characters. The story can't be cheaper than that.
In all a film that I would rate 7/10.
