[Movie] Prey

[Primohastat]

You mean an axe with a long strap attached to it? Truly outlandish! Man, they've really diverged from the realistically grounded bodybuilding soldiers toting miniguns on a rescue mission that kicked off this franchise.

Not sure what do you mean by that. A lightweigth axe with a rope attached to it flying on a flat trajectory and successfully hitting a tree, then being pulled out AND pulled back on the very same flat trajectory to the hand of Pocahontaz. That's insultingly stupid movie physics.

Skinny people firing handheld miniguns are not fiction, plenty of evidence of that are available on youtube.

So its just Pray (video game) only indians mixed with a movie predator.

I dont see any aliens sucking indians into space ships.

I would kinda understand if they used those 2 monsters from their lore:

you're looking for realistic physics... in an action movie... about aliens hunting humans back in the 1600's or whenever? action movies are so full of physics defying stunts that it's not funny. this isn't physics but you get the idea from this video:



they completely ignore logic in action movies because the protagonist has to live, right? at least to the end of the movie.

White exploitation of indigenous cultures is a real problem. It is morally reprehensible to genocide an entire people then use their legends and likenesses to make money, Especially when none of that money is going to go towards any tribes.

At least they cast an indigenous actress so that's something.

This is the kind of person that comes up with Miles Morales Thor.

Racism that thinks its justified.

Other people don't need your protection and white knighting. They are capable humans who can make and do for themselves like everyone else.


Stop treating people differently based on the pigment in their skin.

It could just be the angle but it looks like the tree she’s throwing it at is rather close to her which would make the trajectory perfectly fine as it likely would start to arc from such a short range.

Also unrelated, the later axe disarm and slaying looks sick.

The point was that these movies have always been way over the top with very little concern for realism. From the very first of the movies (the only good one) “does it look cool” trumps “does it seem realistic”. Nitpicking extremely minor things like “this weapon doesn’t quite obey the laws of physics in this particular scene” is far more insultingly stupid.

Overthinking the premise here. The movie pitch is, "What if the Predator fought some indigenous peoples of the past."

Predators visiting less technologically advanced beings for the hunt are baked into the very structure of the franchise. Dutch fought the Predator of the first film with primitive means too- that was entirely what made the movie cool.

There is a reason why the tracking demographics for this movie are incredible.

Replying to a month old post? Man, you must be mad with ennui. But I'm not taking the bait. Welcome to the ignore list and have fun howling into the void!

Gets his racism shown blatantly, responds with anger and insults, hides from criticism.

Its like you are following a guide written "For the Woke White Savior".

I promise, the post isn't for you. You just make a good example. Thanks for literally doing exactly what everyone expects.

hehe - looking at any Predator (or Alien movie, or AvP movie) with anymore thought than "Fun scifi/action movie about aliens and humans fighting to the death" is overthinking the premise.

Watched it tonight and it’s easily the best movie since the first.

Really it’s a shame this wasn’t in theatres but hopefully with such a sharp improvement over the last film this will pull the numbers to get Disney to invest in the franchise.

ye was pretty good, just chucking predators into random time periods is the best thing they can do tbh.

What we really need now is a future movie with the marines, really hoping this will set off a predator boom so we can see such a thing.

[Ayirasi]

A protagonist who learned from failure? Setups that paid off? It was like I was watching a real movie! \o/

[PACOX]

It's not terrible. Everything beats the previous on. I don't think it's better than 1. 2 was my first one so I can't diss it. I have to rewatch Predators. It's not bad though. I'm not mad that I watched it.

[PickleballAce]

I'm surprised they didn't stick with the working title for this, but then again Yass Queen Slay! would've been kind of awkward. In the end I'm sure it still clears the very low bar set by pretty much every one of the sequels.

I'm surprised they didn't stick with the working title for this, but then again "Yas Queen Slay" would've been kinda weird. In the end I'm sure it'll clear the very low bar set by pretty much every one of the sequels.

ooof incel alert

Thought it was pretty bad. Protagonist constantly saved at just the nick of time (lion, the bear, guy on horse, hatchet to predators foot, French coming in at just the right time to capture her, her goddammit dog running up to make predators shot misfire) it was an endless series of close calls. Her being a female native I kept wondering when the group of nasty dirty white men would show up, didn't actually think they'd be portrayed as caricatures of nasty dirty white men, but they made them even more disgusting than the pirates from Pirates of the Caribbean, impressive. They even drooled and snarled when they spoke.

It's 5 oclock, bitch raping time.

But seriously this movie was actually a whole lot better than I was expecting it to be. That pistol seems to get around though.

Gotta ask, when you have some one facing threats that out classes them in pretty much every possible way how exactly are you suppose to have the main character face any challenges before the end fight if they aren't being saved by various other forces and people?
