Thanks for the memories!

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This is more of a performance piece, just look at the cast, there are basically only three actors with any significant role. The entire film is carried by them and the story, which has to be good enough. And it is!People compared this with Enemy Mine, but that's silly. The only similarity is that it's about two guys from warring species stuck on a planet. However, this feels more like a medieval piece, two knights who need to finish a fight, and the sci-fi portion of the film is quite irrelevant. Both lead actors did their job very well, I liked the costumes, the ambiance, the sound, almost everything.A problem I had was with the basic plot, the underlying reason for the conflict. It felt a little bit forced. However, it was not really important for the story. Also the fighting prowess of the various people was really inconsistent, in order to serve the story. I am sure they could have done a better job there.Bottom line: a movie like movies should be made. You start with a good story, you get a team together then you pour your soul into the film. I liked it and I would gladly watch a sequel.

Definitely far better than the the IMDb.com rating suggests. The ending is a bit flat, otherwise this is a first-class science fiction story.Although there was obviously a limited budget for this film — there are few actors (none of them well-known) and essentially a single location — the cinematography, the sound quality and the editing are all up to scratch for a major project. The story is good (it kept me hooked) and there is plenty action among some interesting ideas.If you are a science fiction fan with a mental age above 10, you should get some enjoyment from this film. I would especially recommend it if you find many big budget movies to be nothing more than a relentless cacophony of banality and torture porn.

I did think it might be a two guy fight and I was right, but the acting and script saved it, and became engrossing.I watched this quite by accident and as a few reviewers have wrote I expected much of the storyline from previous movies.Although this was the case and indeed it began as one on one fighting it was gripping at times and very imaginative, hats off to the two main characters.I think if only there could of been some more humour, there was plenty of opportunities for them to be scripted, it would of raised this movie to cult status at least.It was a film worth watching.

Several years ago, I saw a strange short film on the internet called "Batman: Dead End". I say strange because the film was pretty much a homemade project--done with a VERY limited budget of only $30,000. Yet, despite this, it LOOKED like a Hollywood production of Batman!! Dollar-for-dollar, it's one of the most amazing shorts I've ever seen.Now, with "Hunter Prey", the same filmmaker, Sandy Collora, has returned with more money and a desire to make a full-length film. Can he once again produce a Hollywood quality production with only a bare-bones budget of $425,000? To put it simply, yes....the film is another astounding success. Despite very, very limited funds, the film is excellent throughout and looks as if it cost much, much more. Part of this could be because Collora is experienced as a special effects guy--and I am sure his experience with big projects exposed him to folks who knew their craft as well. This might explain how the makeup, music, cinematography and computer effects were so good--better looking that the films made for the ScyFi Channel--at a fraction of the cost. All I know is that it looked darn good! The plot is very simple. The film begins with a small group of soldiers stranded on a desert planet (actually, Baja California). Apparently, their prisoner somehow sabotaged their starship and was responsible for the deaths of many of their crew. Now, these men are out to recapture the prisoner--and they are ordered NOT to kill the creature. But it's very cunning--and is able to take out the soldiers one after another after another. Who or what IS this creature? What is going to happen next? Tune in to this very tense little film to find out for yourself.In many ways, this film is quite reminiscent of the excellent sci-fi film, "Enemy Mine". While it's not as deep a story, there are definite parallels. BUT, "Enemy Mine" cost $33,000,000--and that was over 25 years ago!!! All in all, while this is not a great sci-fi film compared to the entire genre, for the money it spent it IS a great film. I think every young film student should see this--and see how you can make a wonderful film on a shoestring.In addition to praising Collora (I am NOT a family member, friend or paid spokesman), kudos also go to the film's co-writer and the actors. Again, a lot was done for very little and I was impressed. I can't wait to see their next project!
