Prey (2022)

I didn't mind it but it wasn't the stripped-down horror I was hoping for - far too much extravagant CG action and elaborate melee choreography (which was fucked over by all the shitty whip-pans most of the time anyway). Too much stuff from the Predator's point of view as well - not literally the heat vision POV shots but just loads of scenes following him around beating up animals and stuff before the humans have even encountered him. We all know what a Predator looks like and stuff now so the mystery is going to be hard to maintain, but it still feels odd when they don't even try. I did like that because the human weapons were primitive, the Predator wasn't just laser-cannoning everyone from the get-go.

Rating: okay
