You could make an argument that the Alien and Predator franchise is going out swinging, and if this film does any good, it is making a comeback. With the Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus was really good and received positive reviews. If you put Alien: Earth next to that, whilst that show seems more like a mixed bag, I am under the impression that more people liked the show than hated it. If I were to hazard a guess, people were not sure what to make of it, may have thought it was going to be Aliens running rampant on Earth and killing people, but the show centers more on the science, the exploration, the tests, the morale of people and the nature of creatures, and in this case, the many aliens in the show. It is a show that massively expands the lore and the world of Aliens without missing a beat by keeping to the theme of the Alien franchise, dark, gloomy, alien(s) and something foreign going into an orifice at some point. For this movie, an alien, a Predator, is sent to a world where he winds up being the protagonist of the film and seemingly working with an android from the Alien franchise.
What I gather from this final trailer, is that this Predator has been put on trial, something like Survival of the fittest, a trial by fire, for the accention into the higher ranks of (possibly) his clan, a right of passage, sent to this planet, "The Badlands" and he is tasked to kill this beast whilst everything else on the planet is trying to kill him. It looks like this predator also has the help of an android who will assist him, making this an unlikely alliance to pass this "test". This trailer shows some new scenes and clips, but nothing to really have you wanting to watch it if you do not already want to watch it from the first few trailers. What I will say, though, it would be interesting if the Android helps this young Predator only to bring them into Weyland Utani by helping it to kill the most vicious creatures, to only signal Weyland troops to come in and capture him for research purposes. Hopefully, this film carries on and delivers a great film just like Prey.
