An excellent film, lively, without any lulls, the predator is nimble and does not resemble the clumsy giants from the previous parts, which added dynamism to the film. There are many bold innovations that contrast sharply with the previous installments, such as the predator being unmasked throughout and practically unarmed, with only a sword, and there is no hunting of humans as such.
The dialogues also play an important role. The predator has a very peculiar character, he is rude, with excessive pride, but with rage and sometimes fear showing through his cheekbones and jaws.
Fanning also gives it her all, not just as a chatterbox, but sometimes trying to manipulate, sometimes fawning, sometimes pursing her lips in a feminine way when her wooden partner insists on his ego.
All this chemistry and powerful action convey a simple story of how two immature heroes try to gain recognition from a society that rejects them, and only at the end of the film do they realize the futility of their efforts and what true values are, as opposed to those imposed from outside. This is probably the most unusual moment, which is difficult to expect in the Predator universe. The subtext is not very obvious, but there are still accents in the psychological hexagon of father-mother-brother-sister-hero-heroine.
