Review of Prey (2022) by Axeface — 06 Aug 2022

I cannot understand how this B-movie is being well received. If you dont take things seriously, if you like marvel movies and if you just want to dribble to some entertainment for a couple of hours I guess there is value here.... I want to like it, I really do. But I just cant suspend my disbelief here. A plant that magically makes your body temperature drop INSTANTLY, so much so that an alien that 'sees heat' cannot see you. This plant makes your body heat disappear immediately. The entire plot hinges on this one ridiculous concept. Oh, by the way you can rip out a predators jaw and tooth and stab it with it without any leverage, with your fingers, while your entire body is pinned down, no effort, predators are made of paper... this movie really rubbed me the wrong way, and it is not because of the actors - I think they tried their best and are charming in their own ways, or the bad CGI (practical effects are on point in this movie though). Its the narrative.

I couldnt even bring myself to watch the last few minutes - because of how she dispatched the Predator.
