Prey (2022)
Just terrible
Following the rule of diminishing returns for almost all sequels this dissapoints on a grand scale. The expectation is high as the IMBD score bears no resemblance to what is on screen,
The story is dull and totally predictable with the main lead being totally miscast. Amber Midthunder is simply too small, slight and young. There must be more suited native American actors?
The CGI is poor, especially the bear and the Preditor dull and vulnerable, but indestructible.
I won't go into the poor repetitive plot or the awful dialogue.
By any measure this telling of the story is worse than the last movie in the franchise.
BTW. Telling it hundreds of years before the first film was a great idea. We know the Preditors have been visiting for a long time.
A lost opportunity.
Made in Italy (2020)
Gentle, Predictable
Nothing clever here, just a gentle romantic not particularly funny comedy with quite a lot of f bombs. Seemed completely unnecessary swearing in what would otherwise be a very broad appeal film.
Man of Steel (2013)
What a mess
The storyline is so confused and without originality. There is no soul in this, just a mess of CGI and noise. Disjointed action with no relevance.
Worse still is the voice track on blu Ray makes the dialogue so hard to hear, but the sf tracks so loud.
Nothing more than a total mess.
Shame on you.
Fractured (2019)
Frustrating
Here we go again. Same old no one believes me.
Won't spoil it for others. There are some good bits of tension, but most is lost by the main characters lack of getting anything done and the hospital not triaging properly. Some of this is possibly answered later, but still means the first third of the film is annoying.
It does step up a bit in the second half, but the damage is done.
South of Sanity (2012)
No actors in this film
Critics need to realise that this film was made by some of the staff of the British Antarctic Survey team.
They made it in their spare time to pass the months away during their posting. I believe they planned it the previous season. That is why the acting is variable and there are no big budget shots.
So be kind. As a film made by hobbiests it's not bad. Respect.
