Prey, Uncharted, and every other new movie you can stream from home this weekend
After a light few weeks in new movie releases, this week is perhaps the busiest of the year so far. The new Predator movie, Prey, drops on Hulu (and it’s really good!), three big animated movies (Lightyear, Luck,and Belle) make their streaming debuts, Uncharted finally lands on Netflix, and two Best Picture nominees — Licorice Pizza and Belfast — finally land on streaming.
That’s not all! There’s also a new Ron Howard movie about the Thai cave rescue, a slasher on Peacock, the new Minions movie, an intriguing horror movie starring Rebecca Hall, and so much more.
Here’s everything new you can watch at home this weekend.
Where to watch: Available to stream on Hulu
Dan Trachtenberg’s prequel to the long-running Predator film franchise stars Amber Midthunder (Hell or High Water) as a Comanche warrior in 1719 who discovers the prey she thought she had been stalking is in fact a vicious headhunter from another world hellbent on killing humans for sport.
From our review:
Trachtenberg, who made the similarly pared-down franchise extension 10 Cloverfield Lane, has one major thing to offer in Prey: efficiency. This is a movie about a young woman on a collision course with a spine-ripping alien dude in a cool skull mask. The other members of Naru’s tribe are there to naysay and/or become Predator fodder. A late-arriving band of fur traders also offers up some huntable bodies. Trachtenberg finds ways to present the efficiencies of their short, brief lives with a flourish: He sets up action with overhead shots, sometimes from far above for lay-of-the-land establishing shots, and sometimes giving the camera just enough space for a full view of obstacles like a particularly sticky mud pit.
