The agency is exhausted

I watched "Ultimate Warrior: Beast Hunter" (Prey) on Disney+, and packaged the classic action film Predator (Hong Kong translation "Predator") from a new angle. It is said that the new generation of fans has a high evaluation, and the film also emphasizes that you don't need to watch this movie before. The series, as a prequel to the story, the design of the entire film can be described as exhaustive, in fact, it is also very exciting, but for fans like me who have always admired the first episode starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, I saw this refurbished work. , and there are no big surprises, I always feel that those new elements are a bit out of place.

The reason why Predator was unforgettable in those days was that the male protagonist fought against a group of elite soldiers and monsters of unknown origin. One of the female team members was also very handsome. The most fascinating part of the film was the strongest warrior on earth and the most powerful warrior at that time. Advanced weapons are unable to destroy the monster, the entire team is destroyed by it one by one, and the hero finally fights with it bloody to the end, that kind of rough battle is indeed shocking. However, "Ultimate Warrior: Beast Hunter" changed the protagonist to a girl in order to make people refreshing, and the background of the era is set in ancient times. She and her family are aboriginal people who make a living by hunting. The men in the story are all warriors. She has always been despised by her peers, so when others are desperately fighting against monsters, she can analyze the situation from the perspective of a bystander, collect enough information, and finally win skillfully.

As I watched the movie, I couldn't help but think that a new generation of audiences might really appreciate this trick, and if they were given Arnold Schwarzenegger's pioneering film, they might not have understood that kind of head-to-head combat belief. However, if a female is the protagonist, it may attract a group of female audiences. I believe this is the result of careful calculation.

In addition to the story design, another incongruity is that the aboriginal warriors in the film, including the heroine, are too weak and slender, and their body and appearance are more like city people, not like the tried-and-true hunters in the forest. , which is why I think the film is not perfect. Action movies used to show off the stature and charm of the protagonists, but now they focus on computer special effects, in order to create a fast and exciting spectacle. Observing the changes in the tastes of producers and audiences in the same series can also be said to be an alternative fun to watching movies!
