Prey (2022) is a legit solid good film. It’s better than it has any right to be too. It’s not a brain dead popcorn flick. The Predator could have been anything else serving as the main confrontation for the protagonist and it would have worked.

Is it a brain dead nachos flick? With jalapeños

Talking about brain deads, I remembered I haven't finished Star Trek Beyond. And remembered why, after starting over.
But can you tell which one is Krall from STB and which one is krill from Orville?

Prey: 10/10
I feel like I watch watching a Nolan Batman film. It’s not about super hero powers; it was just about the story. Cinematography was excellent, musical score excellent, dialog very reasonable, characters were all reasonable. No stupidity.

True but not exactly a high bar though.
Not really anything memorable about it either imo.
The final trap was kinda obvious & the Predator of course left her alone for several hours while she set it up, then helpfully walked right into it and was a perfect fucking moron with his laser-homing arrows 
I don't really buy that it didn't take the opportunity to kill her several times when she had been fighting it already.

When AT&T took over they spent a lot on Max originals, some of which have been very Good like Hacks and Peacemaker.
But apparently they lost a lot of money, over a Billion from streaming in the last quarter.
I dread what they’re going to do, speculation is a Discovery Plus app with an HBO hub and higher prices for less scripted content. This is expected to happen by summer 2023.
i just rewatched the last part of Ace Combat The Movie Top Gun Maverik, really good showcase for surround sound!
and a good test case to find that the "bottle" collection my brother put in a cupboard rattles....

As in the Jodi foster movie ?....surprised that you didn't come across it long before now....and jealous that you had first contact with contact, it's quite a film.
Have you seen Arrival? That's another well done similar movie.
Have you tried the medium of interpretive dance ?
and then have Interstellar as a follow-up
Watched event horizon.
This movie is so weird, got weird camera angles and cuts, and felt as if some visual fx was missing.
The audio jump scares are also unbearably loud.
The explanations in the movie make things even more baffling.
But overall it Wan still a fun watch. Felt like a budget ALIEN movie, that's funnier

It was like physical whumps on the chest in the theatre I saw it in back in the day.
Scared the crap out of me in significant part because of that physical aspect to watching it.
It had nice visuals but the plot was fucking retarded which ruined it for me.
Then for the C grade mash up of most of the preceding movies plot bits, made by people who are nowhere near as clever as they think they are: Ad Astra but only if you really have nothing better to do with the time
what wrong with it?
i can only barely remember the plot tho

It's not cool to suggest being retarded is wrong. (As Michael Scott might have put it)
And if Arrival was retarded, I can't think of any movie which would not be. So maybe it is easier to consider it it not retarded.

I haven't bothered to rewatch it so maybe somewhat mis-remembering:
The aliens came to earth so that they could help science-lady start learning their language which magically lets people think non-linearly so that she could see the future and learn from herself the key to learning their language so they could help her deal with the loss of the child she has later with science-man & which she was sad about at the start of the movie
Urban Dictionary: retarded
A word used to describe someone who is profoundly stupid. A type of stupidity that is an insult to intelligence itself. Politically correct people would like you to be rude to someone in a less offensive way, perhaps by calling them dumb instead. This ignores the fact that dumb, idiot, and many...
I forgot that the US is retarded about use of the word retarded like its retarded about stuff like measurement units & how actual democracy works
In my country we have the legal terms Mentally impaired and Intellectually disabled, I make no judgement about people with actual issues but I will not accept a plot that
claims to treat scientists as awesome but then portrays them as fucking morons & which hinges around nonsense timetravel-through-language bullshit.
Love, love defies time etc

Okay, so there is significant chance your opinion is actually what is retarded here then...
Anyone not seen Arrival: don't read anything more about it, get into a non-agitated but conscious state of mind, and watch it once through. It is possible you don't like it but I'll cancel my membership to mankind if most people here find the story retarded.
