It's nonsensical. We're supposed to believe a 1716 Native woman can have nearly full understanding of the use of several pieces of Predator technology while also being able to fight toe-to-toe with it for several minutes (and winning). I thought it was alright until the last 15ish minutes, at which point it became completely and irredeemably retarded.
The things you're talking about are the Predator technology itself, which was absurd, and the flintlock, for which she was given instruction. Do you really think it's reasonable for someone with no experience with any kind of tech to understand an alien laser guidance system after one encounter? Lol.
You're taking for granted that your own awareness of modern day guidance systems and exposure to who-knows-how-many sci-fi properties makes recognition of something similar super obvious to you. For someone who doesn't even have a concept of that to understand it in one go is beyond absurd. Also, how could she know that the Predator's system doesn't have alternate modes, for example? If it did, she'd be dead.
And don't go the "realism" copout route. There are reasons why some movies are good and some are bad, and a lot of that has to do with whether or not they make sense.
That's only realistic up to a point. This shit would be like magic to her there's no way she'd just figure it out when no one in the world has ever actually used anything more advanced than basic machines at that point in history. There's nothing her brain could have compared it to in order to figure it out
Just watched it (pirated).
