Ultimate Predator (2006)

Memorable, crazy movie

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

"Ultimate Predator" follows the exploits of two men known for both their love for nature, and the extreme lengths they go to to document and interact with it. The star of the documentary is Mannie Puig. I can't help but think of "Crocodile Hunter," Steve Irwin when watching this man in action. He shares a similar fearless nature with the late Steve Erwin when it comes to interacting with dangerous predators. As the film suggests, he needs someone who is his equal to help document his adventures, and he finds that man in Mark Rackley. Throughout the documentary you will witness Mannie and Mark make contact with alligators, sharks, bears, and other apex predators. Several exciting sequences were filmed where the two have brushes with death. While I can understand why some might feel as if people such as Manny are purely out for an adrenalin rush, I feel otherwise. I believe that he has a pure love and appreciation for apex predators. When one becomes so deeply interested in dangerous animals, their curiosity doesn't allow them to learn about these animals from a distance, and thus it becomes necessary for them to resort to physically interacting with them. Although it provides us with entertainment in the form of this documentary, it also applies scientists and other researchers with valuable data about these creatures, which helps them to better understand various aspects of the nature of the species, and also helps conservation efforts.

The ultimate and most vicious predator is human. Pollution, eating species into extinction and massacre of environment happens on global scale: sacred and very needed by life on Earth trees are being massacred by human predator. Ultimate predator depends on other animals and nature to survive. Gold mining, illegal tree cutting, illegal ranching in Amazon already destroyed a lot of sacred trees. Animals' habitat is disappearing with exponential (unbounded) rate. Films: "AMAZON with Bruce Perry", "The End of the Line (2009)". Most vicious predator (human) must learn to stop destroying its own environment. While most vicious predator propagates with exponential (unbounded) rate, the nature and animals disappear with exponential rate at the hand of most vicious predator. Most vicious predator must stop unbounded (exponential) reproduction: it leaves no space for healthy environment for most vicious predator and leaves no space for animals. CONSUMPTION is not "cool" anymore.
