"From the director of 10 Cloverfield Ln." I don't know who that is or what that is..so consider me lost already. |

Guessing that is the opening scene because if not then this should not even last 5min. Open field , Pred with future tech aimed right at you = DEAD DEAD DEAD. |

I thought I read it was supposed to be set during the Civil War. So, Predtaor vs. The Ninth Bearded Infantry. It's the Predator vs. the combatants of the Northernmost battle in the Civil War: Schrute Farms.  Aliens vs. the dandies and poets. Only one will endure. |

A woman wakes up after an accident in a bunker with a guy telling her the worlds ended and its dangerous outside. Theres a good mystery of is he/isnt he telling the truth and a great twist ending |

Too bad Fox, before the Disney buyout, didn't try to greenlight AVP 3: Avatar vs. Predator. A Yautja lands on Pandora and all hell breaks loose for the Na'vi

The fact that this is going straight to Hulu/Disney+ is pretty much a sure fire sign that this is going to be shit.

The "twist" ending ruins it with the filmmakers deciding to try to have their cake and eat it too. |

Honestly looks pretty solid. A unique plot to the Predator franchise, how about that? I do hope we get the backstory to the gun that was given to the protagonist at the end of Predator 2. Was always kinda curious how that came about.

If Predator is a honor bound trophy hunter... them taking all their future weapons against a pre-gunpowder society seems weird... unless Earth is just where they send their loser Predators... >_>

Mix it up some. That's what made the first movie work so well. It starts as "Rambo" and turns into "Friday the 13th". Do a Predator movie where he's slaughtering people until one of them turns out to be a werewolf then 'the hunter becomes the hunted'. Or one where the Predator gets caught by space cops for poaching and the story turns an intergalactic jail break.

Then you can decide/argue about what really happened. |

It would be like me saying "Yeah I'm going to fight in the UFC to gain personal honor!" And then I go into the octagon wearing Shedder's armor and wielding a lightsaber against some tomato can with bare feet and a little tape on his fists. I hope it basically hunts with unpowered melee weapons and it's spear with all the gadgets disabled. |

So the Predator obliged and fought him hand to hand. |

I think we're conflating honour with sport.

Yeah, the Predators are all about honour, if we are using the films as examples then we have the medic in Predator only being killed after he picks up a gun and the pregnant cop and the kid with a toy gun in Predator 2.
Of course, there are predators with a 'looser' sense of honour as well, more prevalent in the comics, though.
