Without giving away any plot details or spoiling anything about the movie, we will say that The Predator bucks the recent blockbuster trend and does not have any scenes after credits. Once the movie is over, it’s truly over, meaning instead of having to sit around for an extra five minutes for a 30-second clip, viewers you can make a beeline for the door the minute the movie ends. Post-credit scenes have become the norm over the past decade and while The Predator may not be getting much love from critics – it currently has a 49 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes – the newest entry into the Predator canon does deserve credit for abandoning this annoying, completely unnecessary trend and letting the movie end when it’s supposed to. The Predator opens in theaters nationwide this Friday.
