Overrated
... View MoreInstead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreThe movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
... View MorePersonally, I feel I have to disagree with the vast majority of people here. I've watched and read an awful lot of science-fiction - some in the vein of Prey, some not - and I can't say that this is one of the better things I've ever seen.Now I have watched the whole series, and although the character of Daniels is meant to be mysterious, to me this seems more like bad acting and a lack of ability to portray any real feeling than a deliberate attempt by the actor to 'get in character' as it were. Maybe he's just camera shy.And the woman who plays Parker... oh god... those vacant, watery eyes staring blithely into space at... well... Lord knows what. Not good.Admittedly, Vintresca, Faison, and Drake are better at their jobs, so it's not bad acting all round... just the two 'leads'.And the storyline... well first off, every time the opening sequence rolled I had to leave the room and find something to do for fear of convulsing in laughter... Not exactly original from a sci-fi point of view, and I wouldn't even say especially well executed. It has moments, but nothing striking enough to warrant more than a cursory look at this series.Now, if you're into obscure series' like me, and need something else to fill up a couple of hours while searching for something more... inspired, then by all means don't feel it isn't worth watching, it's not bad - it's just not especially good. For the casual viewer however, I see nothing here to recommend. Find something which wasn't cancelled...
... View MoreI have no idea why I continued to watch this. The scientific basis of this show is pseudo-science of the worst kind, distorting the theories of evolution, the way the story and the characters develop is completely unrealistic and unbelievable, the character development unconvincing, the acting shallow, the dialogs silly and the fight scenes ridiculous ... I could go on and on, just about nothing seems to make sense here and the intelligence of the viewer is continuously insulted. But still I wanted to know how the story would develop, and in spite of all these shortcomings I watched up to episode eight. I guess this is because the whole thing starts like a mystery, there is just so little known about the new species, who and what they are and what they want and how it all fits together, so one just wants to fill these gaps. However, each consecutive discovery just seems to make things more silly and unbelievable. But I don't want to go over the top in my criticism, there's worse on TV, so one might give it a try. The show has a way entertaining and keeping one guessing in spite of all the shortcomings. But better not to expect anything of any value or validity in this. 5 out of 10
... View MoreThe most original concept for a TV series. The character development was spot-on and completely unpredictable and the plots were punched-in-the-belly exciting. Looking at some of the hackneyed, ho-hum series currently being aired, I cannot believe that a show with such potential for good ratings could be cancelled!!!It's about time that studio executives listened to the demands of the viewers and gave us what we wanted.
... View MoreThe 13 episodes of Prey have just been broadcasted in Greece! They were on at 1:00 am (!) but I used to stay up and watch them. It is simply the best series I've ever seen! The idea was different (I had grown a bit tired of watching aliens over and over again) and the acting was great! I wish they had filmed more episodes!
