 Pray 2022 movie review. Hey, what's up guys, it's Josh here. Today I wanna do a little movie review and a movie called Pray from 2022. Now, very few people have actually heard about this movie. It is in the Predator realm, but it almost seems like it's not even advertised that way. I gotta be honest, if I had the choice versus this super polished, almost like superhero type Predator or the classic vintage, more rough style Predator, I would totally choose this style for most of the movie or even parts of the movie. The dangers of the wild are actually more dangerous than the Predators at times. And they've also got a few things that they run into that you really just don't expect that I felt like were outside the box, kind of being a little bit of a surprise. This movie also had some decent unique shots. There were some long shots of the girl walking and just several shots I was like, wow, I like how they shot this. It seems a little bit unique and I think it was well done. The best parts of this movie is that it's pretty aggressive, it has lots of twists and turns, and it's got quite a bit of action, a lot of violence and gore, things like that. So it's not just like a slow build and you see a few things. It does have a lot of action throughout and also is pretty tame. I do have a lot of little slight things that I didn't like about this movie, but overall I think it was really, really good. The one that I don't hear people talking about is that the Predator seems almost invincible up until the last point. I remember Predator being kind of like a super human, like he could probably take a little bit more damage than a human, but you're not just gonna stab him a bunch of times in the arm and like his arm just works, you know what I mean? He's not like immortal, he doesn't just heal himself up. I mean, all the way up until the end, he's just pretty much immortal. I mean, you could stab him as many times as you want, you could shoot him as many times as you want, he just keeps coming and he keeps coming and they even have one point where he's kind of healing up like he has this serum after he just got hit so many times, but to me it doesn't make sense because even later on he just takes damage and damage and damage and damage. It's hard for me to believe maybe the Predators had like a healing aspect to them that I don't remember or they could take this amount of damage, but I remember the Predator being more smart. He's stealth, he's got really good weapons that are just gonna take you out, but if you happen to stab him a few times, it's not like he could just take a hundred stabs and I feel like he kind of is that way up until the last scene. I really like the idea of the classic Predators here, but to me it kind of makes no sense why he's using bows. Okay, we have Native Americans, so they have bows and arrows, so the Predator has bows and arrows too. It's kind of a different mix up. It's something we haven't seen and it kind of makes it more of an even playing field, but I'm just kind of confused. Are Predators evolving based on us? You know what I mean? So they see us using bows and arrows, so they created their own bow and arrow, but then why does he have like a heat sinker? So he could create heat sinking bows, but he can't figure out how to make a gun or things like that. He's got like this super high tech mask thing and then he also has the classic bomb thing that he could just throw down and it's pretty much, it's not as crazy as the normal Predator bomb, but it seems pretty high tech and pretty crazy and it just seems, I just don't see why he would be using bows when he has all this extra other technology. I was just a little bit confused with that. I was a little bit annoyed with the whole push of, because she's a girl, society's telling her that she can't do it. There's no way she could do something when in reality, she's like the best one there, the most aggressive one there, the smartest one there and pretty much all the guys in the tribe besides her brother are just pretty much useless and are used to kind of feed the idea that they're all worthless boys. She's actually a smart girl. She's better than all of them. And once they get out there, they just pretty much all die because they're dumb and she's smart. It would have been nice if they teased that maybe once or twice, but there's about 10 times in the movie where they just beat it over your head. You know what I mean? I just felt like it was a little bit unrealistic and you made the guy characters like much more modern and much more simple and less aggressive. I'm pretty sure back in the day, you know, all these men would be savages if they go out and hunt and they seemed just a little bit like boys. This wasn't too much of an issue for me. The biggest problem that I have with this movie is the questionable CGI and it's weird because when you look at it, it's very hard to say what seems wrong. And I watched another reviewer saying, you know, it's just the overuse of CGI and because, you know, you know in your head that it can't be real. You just, it's hard to buy into it. I don't think it's that. I think it's the quality of the CGI and I'm not talking badly on them. I mean, they had to do tons and tons and tons of CGI work, but everything seemed way too perfect in this movie. There's a point where a predator is fighting a bear, ends up defeating the bear. I guess that's not too much of a spoiler, but he ends up defeating the bear. I have to describe that to say the story. And I was wanting to show my friend this movie because I thought it was good. He's a vegan. He hates watching animals get killed on camera. And I was like, oh, I forgot to like give you the warning. He laughs like, dude, it was the most CGI thing. Like I wasn't even the best in it. I mean, I consider lots of CGI really top tier. When I watched the Avengers, it's almost like I've never seen superpowers like that, but I could almost believe that all that's going on. The CGI here was rough. Again, it's hard to pick out. It just seems a little too perfect. Like if you were to throw somebody at like 100 miles an hour, there's all this rebalancing and smashing they would do and all this stuff that would happen, right? But it almost seems like in this movie, if they go quick, it's like they're like a cartoon. They go bloop bloop bloop bloop. Everything is just too easy and too perfect. And they needed to do a little bit more of like the environment getting destroyed because of it. I think that's just my opinion, but the CGI just wasn't that good. That's the biggest problem with this movie. But overall, guys, I would give this an eight out of 10. I really, really did enjoy it, mainly for the story and the aggressive nature and that they bring Predator back to those classic routes. But anyways, guys, I totally recommend and pray. I think it's on Hulu. Definitely check it out. Let me know what you think of this movie. I actually want to go rewatch Predators because actually I've never seen it. I've only seen the first Predator. I actually seen Predator one and Predator two. Let me know what you think of this movie. We're on the road of 50,000 subscribers and I couldn't do without any of you guys' help. You guys are the best. Having a great day out here. Hopefully having a great day at home. See you all in the next video. Peace.
