Prey (2022)

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/prey-spoiler-free-review
"Prey lives up to high expectations, being the first movie in the Predator saga to come close to or even surpass the original.
Dan Trachtenberg is able to restore the franchise by focusing on a compelling protagonist and the motivational essence of the primary creature, as well as creating one of the most dazzling films of 2022.
Both the cinematography and the score take advantage of the on-location filmmaking to create an almost epic atmosphere, whether through gorgeous wide shots that will leave every viewer amazed or through violent, macabre, exceptionally choreographed action sequences in conjunction with long takes.
Amber Midthunder delivers one of the best performances of her career.
For fans of the saga, horror, and/or action, it's not easy to find something better this year."
Rating: A-

So this is a movie about Strong Female Lead, and though Strong Female Lead isn't a hunter and it seems like she hasn't really gone out hunting before, she is the bestest of the bestiest hunters ever. And the village is wrong for not letting her be the hunter and the lead of the hunting party because not recognizing her untested bestiest is wrong.
And then she goes out and puts everyone at risk to prove that she is the bestest hunter ever... and she is, effortlessly, because she is a Strong Female Lead.
And then Strong Female Lead encounters the Predator, and does something that was actually cool and pretty unique for the series. But then the Predator has to go kill off the rest of the hunters in her tribe for not recognizing that she is the bestest hunter ever.
Only this is a politically correct movie, you can tell by Strong Female Lead, so the Predator can't be the bad guy, there has to be more of a political message.
And because of that the plot adds in white people, who are the real evil, the evilist of the evil. The bestest of being evil. And they have to show that even when an alien is out there hunting people, white people are worse.
And Strong Female Lead has to prove that she can be even better than them too without trying, and then proves it without expending any real effort.
And out of the blue one of her hunting party (who are now not as evil because there are white men who are eviler) is allowed to do something actually sort of heroic because he doesn't have to be bad at everything now because they white people can be.
And them 'Member Berries.
And at the end Strong Female Lead proves to everyone that she is the bestest at everything, without needing to try, by virtue of just being the bestest of the bestest at everything without even needing to know what she's doing.
yeah... you get the point, you've seen a thousand other movies just like this one since 2016.
