I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Acting was average, dialog and story line was uncreative and written for a 2 year old. the flow of the movie is non fluid and the characters unbelievable, on top of it all they have sacran and templars cooperate together (with out any lead up or explanation). christians and muslim in unity. hmm nope even today muslims want to kill or subject every one else. why produce falsities of history with in entertainment. why sacrifice and butcher these great things such as the alien predator franchise to do it. some say it is fan made> but the franchise got bought out and they produced new feature films with this subversion which excludes it from the classification fan made. which removes all the excuses for the above mentioned points.im am saddened that yet another great thing got corrupted in this manner
Like many, I would "obtain" this movie through any means necessary due to a love of everything Predator. This however is something "special" IMO. Obviously the staff cared enough about it to make it not only above average but damn great for a short. Kudos to the staff; this will remain in my Aliens,Predator Archive for eternity (as long as my NAS survives).
Somewhat foolishly I came in to this film thinking I was going to be watching an official follow up to the original PREDATOR franchise . I know what you're thinking - how can anyone be that naïve ? and perhaps I should defend myself by saying the franchise probably died as far back as he second film and there's very little mileage in the concept of a hunter alien visiting Earth to do mortal battle with the planet's warrior caste so you can imagine almost 30 years after the series started we'd now be getting the latest film released straight to DVD . I didn't imagine PREDATOR DARK AGES was going to be a fan film To be fair the production team have made a impressive fan film . The story itself is a little bit simplistic . A Saracan from the Middle East is conscripted in to helping some Templar knights in Europe to track down a demon that has been stalking the land .. There's not a lot of plot but it doesn't need to be since there's only a run time of half an hour and the brevity works in its favour . That said most of the strength comes from the directing , acting , musical score and perhaps most impressively cinematography . There's a striking scene where the Predator is in silhouette against the Sun and despite being relatively amateurish it's relatively more impressive than a lot of blockbusters you'll see . Well done everyone involved
(MILD) SPOILER AHEAD! I'm a huge fan of the original, and stumbled upon this short film on youtube.Within the 1st few shots, you can tell serious people are behind this. Cinematography, Sound design, Sound Mix, Music and VFX are high quality.Good pace as well, the half hour flew by.The acting in my opinion wasn't always spot on, but hey, mostly good.The Predator looked great, though I feel he could have possibly looked even taller.Finally, I respect the director's take on the Predator's character, though my feeling is he isn't such a "noble" creature, and doesn't possess a sense of honour which the ending of the film suggests.Anyways, thank you, and congratulations! Great example of what an independent production can accomplish when talented people put their hearts into it.
