Quote HistoryQuoted: I just finished watching it, I liked it alot. Not as woke as I was expecting. Oh and the flintlock pistol at the end screams sequel. I believe that’s in reference to Predator 2 I watched it last night too. It was ok. The ax on a string was a little far fetched. Kind of slow to start Not great but not terrible. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’m glad to know I can just eat some magic flowers and defeat thermal optics. That may come in handy in the future. Can I use 550 cord on my tomahawk during a multiple opponent melee fight or does it have to be braided bark from a magic tree? Yea those 2 things were way out in left field. The only way that plant thing works is if it immediately drops your body temp to the ambient temp. But then you’d be dead |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did you watch the same movie that had a 100lb girl getting body slammed and thrown around by a predator without her taking any damage? The same movie that had her jumping through the air like a super hero? The movie had a great premise but turned into woke crap full of terrible CGI. No, watched the movie where she fucked up, got her ass handed to her by a mountain lion and had to be saved by her brother. And then got her ass kicked by the scouting party looking for her. And by the French. And would have been killed multiple times without the intervention of her brother or her dog. You’re so wrapped up in declaring this horrible because of the wokeness, it was just a mediocre movie. She tried to prove she could hang with the men, and but for the horribly contrived ending (and I’ll concede the scene at the end in the camp where she ninjas everybody was over the top) she failed. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They saved a ton of money by shooting in the dark with no lights also 200 years ago the predators had bone helmets but also spaceships the brother rescued her from the lion, carried her back home, then returned to kill the lion and then brought it back to the village in the dark? they missed the traditional helmet reveal shot Predators customize their helmets and often hunt with equipment on a similar level to that of their prey. His is not the first helmet in universe to resemble bone. |

It was ok.
There were aspects of the unbelievable in regards to the protagonist(Her bounding through the air, off trees, etc. Her weaponry.), but it's a sci-fi movie about a hunter alien. So... It wasn't as woke as expected; more of the old "girls can do anything boys can do" trope. For a "woke" movie, they didn't exactly paint the noble indigenous in the best light. The protagonist's male tribemates physically assaulted her, practiced patriarchy, and she went full savage on the fat French guy. The Frenchies didn't even get rapey on her. The pistol totally wiped out its origin canon from the comic's and doesn't bode well for the protagonist's tribe now possessing it. But then it was probably just a throw away appearance for the sake of fan service that'll never be acknowledged again in the series. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Haven't seen it yet but can already tell you it was better than The Predator. It was pretty good imo. It's not perfect but it's entertaining and I like how they portrayed the predator in this one. Edit Lots of predator vs prey action and made me think about the humans actually hunting the predator somewhat. The end credits are probably a good indicator that the tribe was wiped out shortly after along with the gun from predator 2. |

Pretty good, not great.

It was watchable. There was one action scene that was hard to watch because it was so black/dark on the TV screen and I have a pretty good newer TV that usually handles dark/black scenes pretty well. Even rewatched that scene on my retina macbook and it's still hard to make out details. I think it was an attempt to skimp on CGI, they don't need to spend money on detailed rendering if the scene is taking place in super darkness I guess.

I think that Prey was the 2nd best in the franchise. Next to only the original Predator movie w/ Arnold. The original Predator movie is GOAT level. Prey and the others are not.
I don’t recall. But in the first Predator movie, does it mention which tribe that the Native American Green Beret’s ancestors were from? It would be cool if it were the same tribe from Prey and he was one of those Warrior Indians great great great great great grandsons. Comanche I think. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: After watching Legion (decent S1, but S2 was so bad I quit halfway through) I am even less hopeful for this movie that I was a couple of weeks ago. The lead actress in Prey plays a "badass" character in Legion and.... well I could type an essay on how bad she was in the role, but I'll just say she might have been the most unconvincing female "badass" major character I have EVER SEEN on a tv show and leave it at that.

Looking at Twitter and seeing some people hype the fuck out of this to the point some are claiming its better than the original Predator is reminding me of when people were hyping the fuck out of Black Panther as one of the greatest movies of all time. When I finally watched it I found it wasn't even the best MCU film to come out over a 4 month period.

Raising the stakes, expanding the cast and the set pieces were critical mistakes in Shane Black's 2018 version and in all the AvP movies. In this one, the 2 standout sequences were the 1st encounter and the fight with the Frenchies, both were executed extremely well. Although I think if the 1st Predator had been portrayed so brutally, I'm not sure they would have gotten past the censors at the time. |

Looked up a screenshot of Danny Glover and it's the same pistol. So they have to get it back. It's a nice tie in to a pull things together vs the other films that sort of stand on their own, but also flap in the wind. I thought it was decent for a 2 hour ride. Not great, but what do you expect from today's holly-weird. Both historical inaccuracies and a female that has super powers dealing with misogyny is standard though very tiresome. It's a predator movie, so not really looking for a history lesson. |

I'd have rather seen 90 minutes of badass Comanche warriors on horseback fighting the predator.
Similar to the first movie, they would all be dangerous, competent, fearless fighters that impress the predator with their skill so he chooses them as worthy prey. This shit isn't hard yet they keep fucking it up. |
