Review of Prey (2022) by Piglordofallham — 09 Aug 2022

100 lb Commanche girl beats giant alien after watching it eviscerate a coyote, rattlesnake, bear, and multiple trained hunters from her own tribe. I think the scene that really killed me was when they were running through the field and the MAN wasn't able to keep up with the female protagonist.

Yeah.. sure. This movie is well shot and looks pretty, but its soulless garbage with pacing problems, a frankly boring set of characters, and absolutely zero tension throughout. I honestly couldn't even believe how stupid the final fight sequence was, only because of all the instances where in better predator films, the protagonist actually outsmarted the alien in a way that logically made sense.

If the Predators spear refuses to pierce him, then how do we know his tracking laser wouldn't also NOT be able to be used against him? Why wasn't the alien a woman? Hmmmm? Really mediocre stuff, but maybe after Batgirl got binned we can hope for less of this crap coming out.

Chuck it into the bucket of "attempts to reboot franchises that have failed.
