A thought before I go into the tech review. It's odd that Dan Trachtenberg'sPrey went direct to Hulu, as -
1. It's a good film for what it is;
2. It's beautifully shot in Alberta, Canada, and DP Jeff Cutter uses the turf to advantage.
In the end, it's terrific fodder for those who have a large 4k panel, projection and Atmos, as everything technical works here.
Initially (pre-credit?) I had my doubts, bur then the film opens up and the resolution is magnificent. Atmos creates a huge sound stage.
Unlike the earlier films in the Predator universe, Prey is a prequel, set in 1719 within the Comanche Nation, and lead Amber Midthunder walks away with the film.
If you have the requisite gear enabling you to decode the disc, grab a copy. It's a great ride. If not, there's always Hulu.
Now the important point - the slipcover. It's vibrant, dashing and exciting, leading one to believe that this might be an action adventure of some sort.
The colors are superb, with Ms Midthunder above the title in emerald green war paint, which jumps off the muted background, with a layer of iridescence. This could be another one of those First Edition slipcovers that may be selling for six figures to collectors on eBay. Be forewarned.
It's nice to see the Fox logo being used.
