You know, when I first watched “Predator” many years ago, I thought it was another one-man-army action movie with Arnold Sch#$%^&* whooping everyone’s ass. It was the trend in the movies realm back then – to have a half naked muscular dude running around killing everyone for his country.
Actors with huge biceps and muscular tits suddenly became stars… and they all seemed to have weird names – Slyvester Stallone, Dolf Lundgren, Arnold Sch… ok … I give up. Let’s call him Arnie (yeah, I know, that sounds like a sissy. Blame it on his hard-to-spell real name).
And I have to admit this – I was pretty fascinated with this kind of movie as a kid. Fire and explosion used to be as arousing as lecherous women does to me now. So, when the movie “Predator” started screening in the cinema, I was kinda expected it to be that kind of genre — you know, Arnie mowing asses into carcasses and becomes a celebrated hero.
Halfway through the movie, the story took a strange turn. Something out of my expectation. Out of nowhere, an invisible dude appeared and started snatching Arnie’s tough ass buddies into the jungle. The unexpected villain stupefied me, as I had never before seen a villain who could go invisible and make Arnie look like a goddamn loser.
That was how, in my humble opinion, the movie captivated it’s viewer’s heart. It was full of surprises and never-before-seen special effects. And the biggest break of the movie was – to find out that the villain was a freaking alien that could camouflage itself to an almost invisible stage… and it was fucking ugly like my Form 3 Maths teacher. That was soooooo out of my expectation.
Albeit there weren’t any computer graphics during that era, the movie was magnificently produced… and the outcome was very breathtakingly awesome. Everything… from the makeup to the special effects, was a detailed masterpiece and the storyline’s a classic. (The kick of the movie actually lies in the surprises, and that’s what made it so special.)
So, what’s my point? Alien versus Predator. If you already knew what is going happen in the movie, would you still have that kind of thrill as the original? I don’t think so. The idea’s so lame. You know what would be interesting? Alien having sex with Predator – now that would be something OUT OF OUR EXPECTATIONS. The porn world will never be the same ever again.
That’s why, I chose not to watch the new AVP movie. You guys let me know if it’s good after watching it.
