Do not waste your time.
The lead actress fails to cut it. There is a sense of detachment throughout. Prey fails to take the viewer there. For some reason the makers felt the need to include a fair amount of CGI animals, all of which might look impressive if they were in a video game. Fact is, the animals are in a movie, and they fail to convince. I guess the wolf looked good. The star actor is probably the (real) dog. The dog put in a great performance.
One area of Prey i found like-able, were the various shots of scenery featuring tree's water etc.
lol what UK? I loved this more than the original but probably cause a female was the lead.

Hocus Pocus 2: there isn’t a low enough score for this. To all the single fellas out there, marriage means having to watch stuff like this from time to time. Just something for you to ponder.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Prey lacked a lot. It lacked grit.
For example, the Comanche tribe looked like a bunch of actors made up by make-up artists. I did not sense i was watching a real tribe.

The female, Naru. There is a moment when she is running from a CGI bear. Her run, C'mon. Maybe the director is to blame. I think if someone was being chased across water by a bear, they might put some effort into it

For the most part Prey is slow going.
Prey felt too much like watching a live action cartoon.

What was it with a CGI food chain lesson. Small animal gets eaten by larger animal. Larger animal gets at by slightly larger aniaml. Predator kills slightly larger animal. Even the snake looked CGI ?

I switched Prey off after 10 minutes and returned to it 2 days later. It felt like a re_run of Eternals (2021) - me constantly questioning myself my i was bothering to watch. On a positive note, i am currently watching The Boys (2019) season 1, and it is great!

If somebody sees ?Smile? please post a review right away. The premise sounds stupid but the trailers look creepy as hell. Kind of like ?The Ring? in that way.
