Review of The Predator (2018) by Onemankru S — 12 Sep 2018

I have seen some of the more negative reviews by a lot of serious 'naysayers'! Despite there were a number of racist overtones and syllogisms, its fitting to say that this is an activism movie of sorts.

This movie typically highlights what real-life America is all about and not the touchy urbanites in NY, Boston, San Fran and Miami. Racist and bullying overtones have been a problem in heartland America and anywhere else in the world, because that's where real people live! So its NOT surprising when children as young as 7 or 8 make fun of less fortunate and kids with certain disabilities.

Of course when the bullies called out a kid with Asperger's Syndrome as "Ass-burger", I felt disturbed but the kid managed to fight off the bullies, with his savant's abilities. Rory, you the MAN! But wait, not all villains are bad in this movie.

Apparently, one of the Predators is supposed to show up in earth to expose what his comrades and oversize brothers were doing to themselves. That too as well, the US Gov that's supposed to protect people ended up being the corrupt ones trying to stifle information from the mainstream society.

'Hybridization' is a serious problem not only for aliens but for humans as well. As foucault once say, power corrupts in any societies and this being aliens, not only want to corrupt their own kinds but to conquer the universe.

As for humans, 'hybridization' will lead humankind to being super-beings as well either via weaponology or suiting up to be like "Predators". Last but not least, we must not forget Olivia Munn for being brave to highlight a real sex predator on the movie set and had his credits and images withdrawn.
