So then it's not actually the Predator.

Who wants to see the stoic Ultimate Hunter acting emotionally unstable and being incompetent? Imagine if the T-1000 needed to recruit an earthling as a chattering sidekick to teach him how to terminate John Connor.

If you had asked me, do I want to see a Terminator movie where Arnold is a sidekick to a chattering teenage John Connor who forbids him to kill people, I would have said that sounds lame. And it was a little bit. But it was also a good movie.

I want to see it for starters. Not everything has to be formula.

That's true, what I'm hung up on is that if the name of the formula is on the box then I expect its contents to follow the formula.

Star Trek made the Hirogen, why can't the rest of Hollywood also make a legally-distinct version of Predator if they want to change up the Predator formula?
Taking it back to Trek, the hunter lashing out when he's told that he is the prey sounds like something a Klingon might do.

One of the best parts of Cameron's T-2 3D theme park attraction (RIP...) was the liquid terminator neck craning way out of the screen and into the audience. While this trailer didn't make the movie look shot for 3D to me (not much depth), it's the sort of film where I think we could have lasers and drones shooting out into the theater, big negative parallax for big spectacle (and to compensate for the lacking behind-the-window depth).

Give me the big 3D and I'll take "TEMU Predator" along with it. Honestly it, despite my griping, does look better than Prey did.
