Prey Alone. What is it? A mystery. Or a movie, depending on how you look on it. This 15 minute short film made by two Irish directors for about $5000 is probably one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. And I'm not alone, it seems, as the movie has made millions! Not a bad profit. The special effects, done using a green screen on which the whole movie was shot, are absolutely amazing for a project done over weekends. Would love to say more, but I don't want to spoil anything.

The directing was excellent. I think it was a great short film

Warning: Spoilers Below.

The movie's action I thought was over dramatic. As I was watching it, I predicted nearly half the stuff that was going to happen. (Turning sideeways and shooting the cop car, having it roll over, planes in tunnel, missle locking onto self, etc).

I watched the Google Video, and I pieced together the anagram of Player One and Prey Alone. (It had it written on the right). About 8 minutes into the movie or so (during the chase scene), I figured they were in a game of some sort. My guess was that it was going to end by having people step out of a VR game or something like that.

They did an excellent job though, and it was well done. I'm surprised to see that the entire thing was done on a green screen. That was impressive. Some of the shots gave it away, but it was still extremely well done.

BI, you are waaaaaay too smart for your own good. Either that, or I'm waaaaaay too stupid. Either way, I didn't get it until I saw the tag =/

Instead of using an either, you should have used a different conjunction which implies both statements are true.

... :P

Nah, I took two film classes for my General Ed requirements at college. I took them because they were the easiest way to get out of classes I didn't want to take, but surprisingly, I learned a lot. Because of it, I've been able to critique movies a bit better.

Meh.

I liked the effects, but like BI about a few minutes into it, I realized the truth. Or rather I had a feeling about it.

But then I can dissect any movie while I'm watching it, its very strange, and annoying, and pisses people off when I goto see a horror/thriller/mystery type thing. Lol =D

I did like the movie though, but the story seemed a tad weak.

Just watched the trailer, it was orgasmic. Downloading now at about 200~ kb/s.

EDIT: Watched it, enjoyed it. Like Sirion I didn't really realize what was going on, interesting premise and yes, there were some cliches, but still, it was awesome. Well worth the download.

It was good, overly done in the action aspect, but well done.
