Chinthu choyamba choyamba, ndimakonda Predator. Ndizofunikira kwambiri kanema wapamwamba kwambiri wa machismo 80. Kuchokera pamakina osasunthika amodzi ndi ma bicep-flexing standoff, kupita kunkhondo ndikufuula modabwitsa, Predator ndi imodzi mwamakanema oseketsa kwambiri, oseketsa-obwezeretsa m'mbuyo.

Chifukwa chake, izi zidati, polengeza za Predator watsopano, tidamva phokoso logawanitsa chisangalalo kapena nkhawa. Kodi tikufunikira chilolezo china mu chilolezo (chosagwirizana) cha Predator? Mbali iliyonse yomwe mumakhalapo, The Predator imatha kugwiritsidwa ntchito - ngakhale ndiyosokonekera - ndikuponyera kumisasa, chisangalalo chankhanza chomwe chidapangitsa kanema woyamba kukhala wapamwamba kwambiri.

Shane Black - yemwe adasewera Hawkins, woyamba kuwonekera pazenera la Predator mchaka cha 1987 - wabwerera kudzakhala wolemba nawo komanso wotsogolera gawo latsopanoli.

Black imakhala ndi mbiri yolimba yolemba malembedwe, zolemba zosunthika mwachangu - monga, Chida cha Lethal, Gulu la Chilombo, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang ndi A Nice Guys. Koma ngakhale The PredatorZokambirana zimakhala ndi zisangalalo zoseketsa, kanemayo amangoyenda mphindi imodzi mwamphindi, kusiya zina zosintha pambuyo pake.

Gawo lalikulu la izi ndichowonadi chifukwa ndi reshoots zambiri ndi zosintha, kuphatikiza kusintha kwakumapeto kwa mphindi zomaliza kuti achepetse malo omwe wolemba milandu wogonana adalembetsa (komanso mnzake wa Shane Black) adagwira ntchito moyang'anizana ndi Olivia Munn popanda kudziwa kapena kuvomereza.

Zosintha zamtunduwu zimawonekera kwambiri munthawi yamachitidwe ena akumizinda. Zimamveka ngati kuwombera kwinako kudadulidwa ndikusunthidwa mozungulira, chifukwa chake pali nthawi zochepa zomwe zimasokoneza mawonekedwe ake.

Ndiye palinso, Mega-Predator. Ngolo yoyamba mawonekedwe a mdani uyu wa x-treme ndipo agalu ake (tingathe kuwatcha iwo?) Adakumana ndi mantha ochokera kwa mafani omwe adafunsa chifukwa chake chilolezocho chikuyenera kupitanso pamwambapa.

Chifukwa chiyani? Chifukwa ndi 2018, dammit.

Ndi gawo loti munthu akhale ndi chilolezo chokwanira, ndipo palibe vuto ndi izi. Kunena zowona, mdani watsopanoyu samangokhala nkhondo yomaliza yabwana - ndiye maziko a chiwonetsero chonse cha kanema.

Mega-Predator pambali, The Predator akumva kwambiri amakono kwambiri kuposa omwe adalipo kale. Inde, ukadaulo ndi zokambirana zasintha mzaka zingapo zapitazi, koma mphamvu yonse ya kanemayo ili ndi nthabwala zachisoni, zamisala, zopatsa chidwi zomwe zimaphatikizana ndi kutumizira uthenga pazokhudzana ndi ntchito yankhondo, thandizo lakale, ndi (kwambiri mwachidule) kutentha kwanyengo.

Izi zati, kanemayo satenga nawo mbali pazinthu zachitukuko izi; Amagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati mavalidwe kuposa kukonza chiwembu. Black ndi wolemba wolemba zodabwitsa akamatha kuyang'ana pazokambirana zomwe zimayendetsedwa ndi anthu ndi zokambirana, koma zomwe zimachitika pafupipafupi zimalowerera ndikuyesera kukopa chidwi cha omvera, omvera zimakupangitsa kukhala chovuta kwambiri.

Pomwe ma 1987 Predator ikutsatira gulu la akatswiri komanso asitikali pantchito, The PredatorGulu la asirikali ophunzitsidwa bwino ali ngati mtundu wa Oorah wa Island of Misfit Toys. Amakhala ndi zofooka, osakhazikika, komanso osadina. Zimangokhala zosangalatsa kuti muziwonera chifukwa cha zisangalalo kuchokera kwa omwe adapanga.

Zokambiranazi ndizodzaza nthabwala zoseketsa zomwe zimaperekedwa mwaluso ndi gulu labwino kwambiri. Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, ndi nyenyezi ya Augusto Aguilera ngati gulu lankhondo la B. Olivia Munn amasewera asayansi achikazi omwe amalimbikira kuchita izi, ndipo Sterling K. Brown amakhala ngati wotsutsana nawo (yemwe amaba chilichonse chomwe ali, chifukwa Sterling K. Brown ndi chuma chamtengo wapatali).

Kutchulidwa kwapadera kwa Augusto Aguilera ngati Nettles, yemwe sanatulukire kulikonse kuti apereke nthawi yolimbikira kwambiri mufilimuyi ndi nthawi yosangalatsa kwambiri.

Monga kanema wachithunzi, The Predator ali ndi chibwibwi komanso chowopsa. Nthawi zingapo zachiwawa zidachitidwa modzidzimutsa kuchokera kwa omvera a TIFF. Kuchita izi ndikumbutso wabwino kwambiri wazomwe, pamtima, chilolezo cha Predator chilili; wosakakamira, wosasunthika msaki yemwe amaika asirikali ophunzitsidwa bwino patali mu ligi yawo.

Ponseponse, Kanemayo sanafanane ndipo - nthawi zina - amathamangira. Komabe, ndinkasangalala nayo chifukwa chongochita izi. Sikuti ndiyabwino kwenikweni, koma ikamenyedwa motsatizana ndi zina zonse mu chilolezo, kanemayo ndiye wamphamvu kwambiri pagululo. Inef mukuyang'ana zosangalatsa zakutchire, zowononga mbalamezi zopha mwankhanza komanso kucheza mwachipongwe, The Predator ndi chisankho chabwino.
