I happened to come across "Predator: Dark Ages" by sheer random luck and decided to give it a chance. And it blew me away. This short film is well worth a place in the official "Predator" franchise.
Everything about it was up to par with a Hollywood production. The production and editing level was just fantastic and very professional. The actors did a really good job and the props and costumes were great. Well, aside from the Freya character, who was essentially just a female non-elven version of Legolas. I had never expected this kind of production value from a fan-made project. Even down to the music, everything was just spot on. Director James Bushe really captured the essence of the "Predator" universe.
The acting in "Predator: Dark Ages" was up there on the same high level as the rest of the movie. And it was refreshing with a bunch of new faces. And I really applaud their work here.
This unofficial "Predator" movie was an amazingly great surprise, and I can do nothing but recommend it to all who enjoy the official "Predator" movies in all their forms and variety.
"Predator: Dark Ages" lands a solid seven out of ten stars rating from me.
