I went to watch "Prey" with my baby today, and I was totally disappointed...
In the huge Oscar theater, there were only two people (like a private room~haha~~~), and I got a little excited at that time. The sound effects and some sudden shots were really scary, but the plot really couldn't stand scrutiny, and the ending was very clichéd. In short, it is a completely bad film that is piled up with commercial elements such as blood, violence, countless coincidences, and all thrillers must use clichés.
Was it a vulgar in the beginning? The reluctant stepmother, the rebellious and surly daughter, the cute little son who has a lot of farts, and the dilemma father caught in the middle... In order to make the family harmony come a family journey... (Later, the daughter's feelings for his wife The change is also very reluctant, which is omitted
in this article.) In Africa, an experienced tour guide (if you say that you are a guest at the hotel cleaning, I will admit that you are justified), how can you be casual (really It's quite casual, completely on a whim) Give up the big road and take a small road that few people walk? Then the little boy said it would be convenient, so he took the little boy casually to get off the car on the dangerous African jungle, rare uninhabited road... the heroine stopped him, and he actually said, "This child can't hold it back." "...I really think he is very damn, and he took the car keys away when he got out of the car, is it really that easy? It's not a thief who takes the sheep easily...so this tour guide paid the price for it. But the phrase "hide behind me" before dying is not so unpleasant.
As for that car... it's quite weak... the lion stepped on the roof of the car and the windshield cracked. Is it really that backward in Africa? Security measures made like this?
Later, when the idiot rescue team flew over the heads of the hungry and thirsty heroine and her two children trapped in the car, the heroine's daughter ran out of the car very bravely, and the heroine ran out to chase her daughter. , And the lion also ran out... Just when the lion leaped towards the two of them, two poachers appeared very timely (really very timely!), and the lion was dealt with with one shot, and they were saved by the way. . Although they were poachers, they had language barriers and different races, but after understanding their encounters and intentions, one of them took his daughter to find water... (the process of fetching water without surprises and dangers.) After a gunshot, The two ran back quickly, the daughter jumped into the car, and the poacher walked into the depths of the grass in search of a companion. The daughter was going to call that person into the car, but was stopped by her mother, saying "...he would not listen to you...", cold and terrible... In the middle of the night, the person turned back and hid under the chase of the lion. In the car, the lion (and very timely) broke the windshield (why didn’t he hit it early?) and dragged him out... so these two poachers (I think a large part of their deaths) The reason is due to the separation of the two people. After helping the protagonist get water, they finally died satisfactorily... The
glass was broken, and they decided to remove their seats to resist (it was a very unstable car, as expected). I also admired the protagonist’s intelligence, but when the little boy peeled off the cushion to observe the lion’s whereabouts, the three big faces were exposed behind the cushion... It turned out to be overestimated... I always thought that the lion would drag it again. One left (attack it anyway! This is the first time I have seen such an unreliable but effective measure), and the result seems to be full without any movement. The lion is also strong and weak, moving with his heart! ~ (The lion with high IQ made me think that I was watching "Deep Blue Sea" for a moment.)
The man ranked among the top five hunters, sympathizes with the hero’s situation In the excitement, I felt that the hunter seemed to have something in his eyes, thinking that maybe his family was trapped in the African grassland and never came back. He was the hunter...), took him into the African jungle to find him. Wife and children...Finally, the actor who found his family was impulsive, and he ran around indiscriminately. (Sorry, I can’t help laughing here, because the hunter who was talking turned around and found that the actor was gone. , I was as helpless as him), so the hunter who rushed behind him worried about the safety of others died at the mouth of the lion. Go, and then blew up an excellent hunter. Just a hunter without any story, a not very plump character.)...... The death of the hunter made me completely depressed. It turns out that the shotgun is no match for my legs, so I have to rely on it at the critical moment. Running! ~
In this way, a child's stool (it was still inconvenient at the end, he just held back for two or three days, the child was really scared...), killed the tour guide, two poachers, and the top five outstanding hunters ... sweating!
The purpose of all the characters in the appearance is too strong, their appearance is to make the film more exciting and bloody, to buy some time for the hero and hunter who came to the rescue, and to find a reasonable way for the survival of the family. Reminds me of a movie I have ever watched, the black man in "The Edge"—just came out to die for you to see, creating a terrifying atmosphere for the film. This technique is almost universal in thrillers, but this one uses the worst and most abuse, too many coincidences entangled, countless problems.
Towards the end of the film, the heroine intends to detonate the entire car in order to kill the lion. Without driving, the male protagonist was forced to hide under the car helplessly, and then the heroine had an inspiration, planning to lead the lion into the car and then blow it up. As a result...At this time, the heroine said a word that amazed me and my baby... ...She said, you open the front door, I said just run you... This sentence is like a spell, so the door that couldn't be opened opened...), my baby and I prayed that she could be with you The lions die together. It’s not inhumanity and bloody chasing the tragic ending or something, but all the people who came to save you died. As a result, you are an unreasonable family Happy Ending. , As long as everyone involved with them is dead, they are still not dead)... But when the heroine stood up from the ruins like a superhero female warrior, only the few people who died felt deeply worthless... …
I don’t understand what the director is going to say to the end of the film. At the beginning of the scene, I said to my baby that it was like looking at the animal world. It was a coincidence that it was really the animal world, but the prey became human... but I couldn’t see the wisdom of humans at all... …
As the title says, Prey, prey, sacrifice, predation... After the end of the film, it feels like a family of four, using those four victims as bait, enjoying a wonderful hunting .
Or the director, using these eight victims as bait, lured us who are chasing excitement to appreciate a bloody massacre of his conscience.

The shotgun that the PS tour guide dropped after the attack was really a display...I thought the director left it there and waited for the mother and son to pick it up, and then came up with a set of thrilling shots, and it really just threw it there...
Later, the little boy found the car key that had fallen outside, so the great mother ran over to take it (I think it should be better to take a gun, when the rescue team is found, the gun can be fired, which can also prevent the lions from drinking), Then the mother without a driver’s license drove the car into a frantic crash... The car was scrapped...
At this time, the camera turned and the fuel tank leaked... I thought they would abandon the car and run away, but thought they would start a fire for help (because Later, I found a lighter), but there was nothing...
Finally, the car exploded, and I thought that the rescue team would see thick smoke coming to rescue them. Someone's grass moved and made a few low beast roars, and then the subtitles... collapsed, the front has been vulgar, What suspense are you playing at this time? Do you still want to make a sequel? !

Star rating: Because there will be one for no matter how bad it is. . (If it weren't for the feeling of being a private room, I would feel that I could barely afford the 25RMB (I'm glad to enjoy the student discount)... Otherwise... In short, after reading it, I just want to memorize the Three-Character Sutra, the Five-Character Mantra and the Seven-character Quatrains. )



And the second half of PS "The Edge", that is, after the poor black man died, is still very interesting, and the ending is also great.
