Ah, I love it when I genuinely have fun when watching a murder mystery! I hope they'll manage to write another extravagantly entertaining adventure for Benoit Blanc's third screen exploit!
Oh, by the way, with everything that's been going on with Twitter, was anyone else eerily reminded of the mercurial "Chief Twit"'s antics when witnessing Miles Bron's chaotic decisionmaking? I don't think this was originally intended, but that character now definitely feels like a parody of Elon Musk lol
On the surface this film is about a group of people who have been labelled “villains”, working together to save the world. But really, this film is about one man and one man alone, he isn’t strong, but yet he defies all odds and sacrifices his life to save his friends. His only power is his bravery, he is the driver of the van and the main character of this film, Milton.
Okay Amber Midthunder I see you. You badass you.
I am giving this a 10 because finally, someone makes a good SciFi after all these years that respects the audience.

F' I loved this movie.
Excuse me, WTF was that ?
Less talk and more suspenseful cat and mouse scenes would have helped this movie greatly.
Margot Robbie is a gift to cinema. This movie is a gift to our society. It's enjoyable and fun but part way through it become a pretty good commentary on our society and how men and women treat each other. It talks about capitalism, consumerism, feminism, the patriarchy, men's mental health, and how wrong we get the simple act of living sometimes. I'm sure there's gonna be people who think this is ultra woke, but maybe (and ironically), that's some people need.
Boy, I wanted to love this. The first hour and a half to two hours are amazing, 4.5 / 5. But boy does this film crash hard. The final act (or final two parts) are extremely weak. This film is an hour too long, and often there are shots that go for too long. I'm all for long shots but they are done too often here and don't add anything.
As good as Phoenix is, the script is really poor for his character and by the end, he achieves nothing.
How is this only rated at a 78%? I just watched this for the third time to refresh my memory, it has been years since I last watched it. What an amazing movie. The tension built up until the last five minutes. The best horror movie in my opinion.
A moving true story that evokes the setting of the Great Depression well. It's not always as impactful as it might have been as it rushes through certain moments but it's still worth a watch.
Thankfully not as vapid as I expected. The movie is further evidence of the dangers of social media and the false approvals people gain from using it. #deleteyourinsta
Apparently you need to go into this movie not seeing any marketing since most of the negative reviews talk about how it was "mismarketed". I had no idea what it was about, had no expectations, and I thought it was pretty good. I guess if you went in with expectations of something it isn't, you'd be disappointed.
Somewhere between a 6 and a 7 for me. Prey is a very good direct to streaming movie, and even without the Predator franchise attached to it , it's still a successful film. Stripping the tired Predator franchise of all the things that bogged it down, Prey keeps things simple. Primal humans who have to hunt or risk being hunted, up against a technological killing machine who hunts for dominance and sport.
Amber Midthunder is extremely good in the lead role. She's not Arnie, nor is she supposed to be, but she's a great lead who comes off believable and likable. If Prey had have been released in the 80s, Amber's Naru would be up there with the iconic 80s female action stars.
I enjoyed Jurassic World 3 more in theaters than this. That is all.
Amazing!
What a beautiful contribution to this world.
I love those powerful women.
Great cast!
[Sheffield/Doc] An revealing documentary-conference on the need to return to historical events to avoid reinterpreting the History of Racism in America. The camera is at the service of Jeffrey Robinson, an excellent speaker who offers a masterclass on how to find the keys to understanding the roots of endemic racism and preventing its spread.
One of the best solo MCU movies in a while. I went into this not knowing the story at all. I was highly entertained and not lost at all. Definitely worth the $12 at the theater!
i own all the movies on vhs and now the trilogy on blu-ray and it is truly amazing. this is my favourite movie of all time since i was a kid, and you can hold me to it.
An excellent little gem filled with so many "classic horror movie" tropes. This movie pokes fun at itself and others (even Netflix). It was a refreshing little mindf@#$.
Easily one of the best movies ever made! Have watched over 6 times and still cant say no to watch it again!
THIS. IS. SO. GOOD. the kind of movie i can see a thousand times and it will never get bored
