New Netflix Alan Ritchson action movie looks like Predator meets Metal Gear
In a report from Polygon, Netflix’s upcoming action film War Machine stars Alan Ritchson as a would-be Solid Snake–style soldier whose boot-camp selection exercise turns into a fight for survival in a jungle.
Director Patrick Hughes’ trailer drops an elite team into a Predator-style jungle where they accidentally activate a foreign, bipedal machine built purely for destruction.
The machine can fire lasers and bullets and locates organics with a blue scanning beam; the team are left stranded with no comms, flares, or firearms and must MacGyver their way out.
The trailer evokes Metal Gear and Terminator and also draws comparisons to ED-209 and other sci-fi action films. War Machine is slated to premiere on Netflix March 6.
