Akira Hojo's Reviews
Surprisingly a cool Predator prequel
If they cld remove the post-modern woke elements, then Prey would have been a worthy Predator movie that was probably on par with or better than Predator 2.
Pros: Great story, entertaining fight sequences and cool Predator design. I love the Native American angle.
Cons: All the natives are speaking with modern American English and sensibilities. Woke view of native american social hierarchy. All whites are super evil, incompetent and cruel. Anachronistic girl power element, though not as bad as Rey.
I’d watch it if you are a Predator fan, it’s miles better than the last two Predator movies, including AVPs.

Season 1-2 are great, S3 is much darker
The Orville carries the spirit of Star Trek: TNG, with the first two seasons surprisingly mature, fun and uplifting. Season 3 turned dark, grim and downbeat. There are amazing (musical) moments, specially to do with Gordon. But they double down on the Alphabet content and liberal vs conservative political issues.
It deals with many modern social and political issues (in particular US issues), like TNG, but it lacks the wisdom and wit to present a more nuanced and balanced perspectives from different sides, unlike TNG.
S3 in particular sometimes felt like a woke-liberal propaganda against everything they think are the roots cause of evil: conservatism, religion, family and patriotism.
Give the series a go, it’s nowhere near Picard or Discovery level of wokeness.
