No One Will Save You (2023)

A young woman who leads an isolated life is attacked by extraterrestrial beings in her parental home.

'No One Will Save You' is a horror movie with aliens. That's usually not the most promising combination, but if the viewer does not allow themselves to be led by prejudices, and ignores the undesirable presences, the film presents many satisfactory elements, and demonstrates qualities that are difficult to obtain normally: first of all, the extensiveness of the main actress is an asset to applaud on, because the film is almost completely devoid of dialogue, then there's the feeling of solidarity with a so-called "final girl" that cannot be ignored, and the ending can be interpreted in several intriguing ways.

No One Will Save You (2023)

O tanara ce duce un trai izolat, este atacata de fiinte extraterestre in casa parinteasca.

'No One Will Save You' este un film horror cu extraterestri. Nu e cea mai promitatoare combinatie, dar daca vizionatorul nu se lasa condus de prejudicii, si ignora prezenta indezirabila, filmul prezinta multe elemente satisfacatoare, si demonstreaza calitati ce sunt greu de obtinut in mod normal: in primul rand, extresivitatea actritei principale este un atu de admirat, deoarece filmul este aproape lipsit de dialog in intregime, sentimentul de solidaritate cu o asa-zisa "final girl" nu este de ignorat, iar finalul poate fi interpretat in cateva moduri intrigante.

Prey (2022)

Naru, parte din tribul Comanche, se confrunta cu o versiune mai timpurie a razboinicului Predator.

'Prey' este cel mai nou film din colectia Predator, cu o idee si realizare noua, cu aceeasi formula, dar ingropat adanc in istorie. Personajele sunt credibile si usor urmarit cu o masura decenta de investire emotionala.

Regia:  Dan Trachtenberg   

Cu: Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, Dane DiLiegro, Stormee Kipp

Prey (2022)

Naru, part of the Comanche tribe, faces an earlier version of the Predator warrior.

'Prey' is the newest film in the Predator collection, with a new idea and execution, with the same formula, but buried deep in history. The characters are believable and easy to root for with a decent amount of emotional investment.

The Predator (2018)

A soldier who witnesses the crash of a Predator accidentally sends alien technology into the hands of his gifted son.

'The Predator' is the penultimate film in the sci-fi franchise, an iteration that just continues the list of events and admittedly, brings some new information about the alien mystery (they collect the best quality DNA to manipulate the creation of the most efficient killing machine). The action is well done, but not a lot of it, and a bit more humor is attempted by associating the main character with a group of soldiers who are persona non grata for various reasons. Not very strong overall

Director:  Shane Black   

With: Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, Jake Busey, Sterling K. Brown, Yvonne Strahovski

Rating: 6/10

The Predator (2018)

Un soldat martor la aterizarea unui Predator trimite tehnologie extraterestra in mainile fiului sau supradotat accidental.

'The Predator' este penultimul film din franciza SF, o iteratie ce continua lista de evenimente si admisibil, aduce ceva informatie noua despre misterul extraterestru (colectie de DNA de cea mai buna calitate pentru a manipula crearea celor mai eficiente masini de ucis). Actiunea este bine realizata dar nu prea in masuri considerabile, si se incearca ceva mai mult umor prin asocierea personajului principal cu un grup de soldati persona non grata pentru diverse motive. Slabut in general

Justified: City Primeval (2023)

15 years later, Raylan's vacation with his teenage daughter is interrupted by local events that require his attention.

'Justified: City Primeval' is an event season that resumes the story of Raylan Givens, 15 years later than we last saw him in the last season of Justified, and introduces a more modern, complex and rapidly developing context. And so Boyd Holbrook enters the scene in an intriguing and nuanced role, not qite as nuanced as everyone's favorite antagonist (Boyd Crowder), but a close attempt. However, the rest of the context loses a bit of its weight, plausibility and authenticity. Just enough. A shame, but still worth watching.

Director:  Michael Dinner and others   

Production:  FX   

Creator:  Dave Andron, Michael Dinner   

Duration:  1 special season of 8 episodes (48 minutes each)   

With: Timothy Olyphant, Boyd Holbrook, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Marin Ireland, Vivian Olyphant, Terry Kinney
