Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Prey knows its audience.

Prey: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

@REEL_DEAL2025-12-06 15:00 UTC

Prey should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

@ROW_F_REGRET2025-12-03 10:00 UTC

The script for Prey feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

Hot Take: Prey's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Everyone praising the Prey performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Prey actually is?

Director clearly thought Prey was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Prey?

Honestly, Prey would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: Prey is the most overrated film of the decade

Look, I wanted to love Prey. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
