, they come out swinging with this one 
$183 million is nothing to sneeze at 
and those bonus features? mind blown 
who would've thought dan trachtenberg's take on predator would be so... human 
? don't get me wrong, it's still just an alien killing machines movie 
but i guess that's the point - it's not just about the hunt anymore, it's about the journey 
anyway, looks like i'll be pre-ordering my steelbook edition ASAP 
. It shows us that even the toughest of hunters can have hearts that beat with compassion. And isn't that what we're all searching for, right? A chance to find common ground and understand each other's struggles? The film's got a lot more than just action - it's about growin' up, takin' responsibility, and learnin' from each other's mistakes 
.
, and I love how they've given the young Predator (Dek) some serious depth - it's like we're getting to see a whole new side of this iconic creature. And can we talk about the special edition release? 4K SteelBook with bonus features and deleted scenes? Yaaas, I'm so down for that! 
It's clear that the filmmakers have really nailed the blend of action and emotion in this one, so fingers crossed it sets a new standard for the franchise. Bring on the digital release and physical copies - I need to get my hands on this ASAP! 
It'll be interesting to see how well the physical copy does when it comes out, but I think this film is definitely worth picking up in whatever format you can get it.
I'm loving how they're giving us all these extra goodies with the 4K SteelBook release 
. It's like they want to give us a deeper look into the world of Predators. And I gotta say, Elle Fanning as Thia is a great move - she brings that whole cyborg vibe 
" Anyway, gotta give it to Dan Trachtenberg, he's done an amazing job with the direction
