Prey (2022)
Amazing
It's hard to compare this to the first film as predator was a masterpiece but prey does justice to the first movie. People are complaining about a lightweight girl defeating a predator as it would be too strong for her but considering the predator also picks up a bear I don't think weight matters.
The first 5 minutes I did think 'oh no, it's gonna be a girl vs predator, here comes the woke' but she was amazing. Fell in love with her character the more the film went on and got totally invested in her story.
This ends with the possibility for a sequel as the predators do need to get that gun to follow continuity and I hope we get to see more of her.
Brilliant film, I already want to watch it again.
Baelin's Route: An Epic NPC Man Adventure (2021)
Amazing
If you are familiar with Epic npc man you'll love this. If not check out epic npc man by viva la dirt league.
I don't understand some of the reviews that score this badly. This movie is based on what was a one dimensional character, Baelin the fisherman, who is a one line character without a backstop which you see often in games. They take this character ot of his comfort zone of walking the same route every day and throw him into certain danger in which he ends up on a quest replacing an actual playable character.
Rowan manages to pull off some amazing acting in this role, despite his character only having one line that he can repeat over and over you understand and feel what he is conveying every single time.
Then there's Phoenix, the newest addition to VLDL who is just lovable and fantastic. Despite not having many credits to her acting career she absolutely smashes this and carries the whole film from start to finish.
Some of the acting may seem off but its purposely done that way as it is a spoof of video games. For example, Hamish, the one being robbed, plays his part perfectly. Not an actual real reaction to being robbed but the comedic video game type spoof this is. This movie deserves 10/10 and its only letdown is that it was so short, but even then it fitted everything in it needed to.
Again, an amazing movie. Go watch it.
Thunder Force (2021)
Strange but fun
This is one of the weirder movies I've watched in a while and though it does have quite a few cheap gags in there they still made me laugh how they pulled it off. It also seemed quite short for modern film but it gets straight to the point and tells the story rather than having a long drawn out origin story like most superhero movies. It doesn't really have much of a build up either. Which isn't bad, just different. It's definitely worth a watch if you enjoy Melissa Mccarthy films and will be enjoyable but not as good as some of her other work.
Also Jason Bateman as crab man is just fantastic.
