Woke AF

Take everything fun about Hulk, toss it out the window and add a green lady in a suit. Wizard of Oz? No! Just feminazi She-hulk. Pllt. No fun, just... tampons.

No woke

A rare documentary from Netflix that doesn't wave transgender drag queens in your face. Just the facts.

Woke free

A satirical comedy which is a breath of fresh air this day and age. No woke. Anti woke, if anything!

Decent movie, awful lead

Prey is a movie trying to be a lot of things, a successful reboot of the franchise after some let downs, a "return to roots" sort of flick and one that tries to tread the lines of wokeness, but being a Disney property now... they just can't help themselves.

The main protagonist Naru (Amber Midthunder) is... tolerable at best. While they didn't go the Rey "Mary Sue" Skywalker route, she does have some way too modern sensibilities and in the final act she is far too capable to be believable.

Firstly, she is constantly shirking the roles of her tribe, she is backed up by her brother Taabe (Dakota Beavers) who mainly defends her position within the tribe as sort of a tom boy try hard who REALLY wants to be a hunter (and shes VERY angsty about it). Taabe is actually a very well rounded character, and honestly, if he were the protagonist and the roles were reversed in this film, it would be far better off.

The real issue is the way they all speak to each other, it's clear the casting is an attempt to have more diversity, but I appreciated the consistency of indigenous characters. The issue here is this, they want to make these characters relatable to modern indigenous people, so they all talk that way, they use a very modern vernacular and vocabulary that is just ridiculously out of place for the time period this film is set in.

Another issue, and this is a bit nitpicky I suppose, but there is an issue with the way Naru herself looks... for someone who claims to be a capable hunter, and who practices it, despite everyone else asking her not to and directly inconveniencing her tribe most times, for all of that, she still looks soft and way too out of shape. The actress herself is "thicc" to say the least, and has WAY too much meat on her to be a real warrior in a tribe struggling to survive in the 1700s. It's most evident in the scene where she is running from the Predator and you can see how really un-atheletic she is.

Finally, in the final act, the engagement between her and the predator and the inevitable conclusion is extremely tedious and takes some serious suspension of disbelief to make your way through it. There are so many inexplicable decisions made by the Predator and others and so much plot armor for Naru that it's extremely underwhelming.

Overall the movie is entertaining, it has some great acting (by supporting actors) and despite the efforts to ride the line in terms of wokeness.... they couldn't help themselves but include it.

You might enjoy it, you might not, depends on your ability to suspend your disbelief and look past the angsty thicc proud indigenous woman schtick and just absorb the gory action and violence.

Woke in Season 2

The mystery of the plane disappearance quickly gives way in season 2 to woke characters and interactions.

Talented musical 'covers', 24/7 woke

Characters are developed slowly, but pretty well. Sloppy contradictions and lack of believability is rampant. Musical numbers and covers are well-done and show a lot of talent and creativity. The wokeness is off the charts with molasses thick preachy themes, scenarios, and utterly ridiculous concepts and principles. Definitely Ryan Murphy's wet dream of propaganda and cultural influence.

Battling within itself

The character development is slow but interesting and patience pays off. Some of the characters are written a bit poorly, but not so much as to ruin the story. The scenery/cinematography is remarkable and very pleasing and satisfying for a 'city dweller' like myself who recently moved to be a bit more 'rural'. The camera work to me is very good and remarkably impressive at times. Some of the story lines seem like an inner battle - the wokeness *wants* to creep in, but it's sometimes held at bay or merely acknowledged but doesn't become repetitively preachy like other shows. I don't consider the Indian tribe victimization to be wokeness since there have been legitimate injustices against Native Americans - the balance/context of recognizing their own injustices and failures is not quite present, though. I haven't completed the series - just finished Season5 w/one more to go.

Must be Bosch's evil twin

This is definitely not the same as the original series - despite all the reviews on Amazon praising and fawning over it. I immediately noticed a difference in the often lack of musical underscores, the existing characters from the original series behaving like bad clones of their former selves, the dialogue being quite flat, and the themes being overtly biased and politically ideological - like they're trying to preach to the audience or qualify for woke award shows by ticking the boxes of requirements. Many of the characters are not believable, scenarios cannot be accepted as possible, predictability and cliche stereotypes are common due to adherence to 'woke protocols'. Big disappointment since the original series was a binge-worthy entertainment pleasure.

Well-produced detective drama w/action

This original series has a very slick and well-produced format - musical underscores throughout on a jazz theme, excellent character development, believable and mostly smart dialogue, comments on or recognizes political and social issues without being preachy or overtly biased

Had me in the first half

Not bad in the first half of the season, there was some subtle wokeness, but not that bad. The second half gets extremely woke, made everything racial, one of the main characters is now gay, BLM, defund police, climate crisis… They had to hit all the branches on the woke tree.

Entertaining

Fun to travel back to the Matrix with this different spin. Not watchable if you didn't watch to previous 3 Matrix films.
