StoryDive | Predator (1987): Great Action Movie Structure Explained! @StoryDive | Uploaded May 2017 | Updated October 2024, 17 minutes ago.
With the 30th Anniversary of the release of Predator (1987) around the corner (June 12), and Shane Black's new Sequel "The Predator" being released next year, this might be a good time to take a closer look at the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger action, sci fi, masterpiece. This movie still resonates with action fans 30 years after it's release. So, in this video, I will examine how exactly the Director, John McTiernan, and the writers accomplished this. Specifically, I will explain how Predator used 3 Act Story Structure (The Film Paradigm) to create one of the most suspenseful, epic, Badass action films of all time.
I will also briefly examine why this movie's sequels, Predator 2, the Alien vs. Predator series, and Predators (2010), didn't reach the heights of the original.
Let me know what you think of the points made in this video. And, if you would like to see another video analysis of a classic movie's story structure, or a new movie for that matter.
