Even with a clearly lower budget and some shaky CGI, the very contained and intimate story drops of all the pop culture feel on the Predator and takes it back to the thrill of the 'Hunted becoming the Hunter' aspect of the franchise.

The Good

Praise the high heavens, this was not a woke film even if it has a female lead.

Naru's gender is just an aspect of the story, her own brother supports her wish to be a hunter and pass the Comanche proving ritual. It's just that she was taught to be a healer as women of the tribe have been.

Naru just wants to be more, and she is bad at being a hunter in the beginning we spend some time watching her fail a few times, it made us connect with Amber more in the film.

There is no forced scene of feminism vs the patriarchy, or the excellent amazing female warrior who is not getting a chance because some old Man does not give her a chance cus she has different organs on her body, none of that nonsense.

The 'going against the norm' motivation is presented once at the start and then moves on understanding that the information has been given to you and need not be shoved in your face and down your throat again and again.

This was a movie of family and a bond between a pet and a human having to survive against the odds of a very serious and dangerous threat, the small nature of the story really works here.

The gore was perfect, the Predator had some fun weapons, as the movie is set in 1700's he used downgraded versions of the 90's predator weapons which was an absolute fun watch. He slices, dices, pounds, decapitates it was friggin amazing.

One aspect of the Prey film taken from Shane's The Predator movie is that there is a group in the movie that are aware of the Predator presence.

They do not know what it is just that there is something unnatural hunting and try to catch the Predator leading to one of the most ruthless action scene in the movie where the Predator fcks everyone up in imaginative ways with the aforementioned fun weapons he uses.

There were some unique story beats that stand apart from the original films, the terrain and Naru's knowledge of the forest really play a part in the final confrontation.

This was such a refreshing watch to see a female lead in 2022 to have to learn how to deal with a threat rather than just being magically better at everything. I was right there with Naru/Amber every second rooting for her, feeling her desperation, watching her slowly get better at being the Hunter after repeated confrontations, and watching the predator slowly get broken down with every next hunt.

One of the best scenes is the movie involve some of the most dodgy CGI in the movie is of a bear vs the predator. I love it even with noticeably bad CGI.

I love that what I always feel about CGI applies here, that even if you don't have the biggest budget for photorealism, using your SFX in imaginative ways will always work.

The cinematography for the film was amazing, getting in some great locations, good lighting, Dan did a great job with what he was given and I will definitely be keeping an eye on his work in the future.

The Bad

The biggest problem I have with this film was why was this released on streaming, this movie needed to be released on the big screen.

There was some dodgy CGI which kind of explains the release on Hulu decision, but the CGI is used in creative ways and does not really affect the movie that much.

Unfortunately even if the movie is not a 'Woke' movie, the limited marketing and trailer make it feel like that, I hope people give it a chance regardless of the stupid marketing decision.

Conclusion

I had no hope for this movie, Shane's work broke me and Predators 2010 was my fall back for a watchable sequel other than the first 2 original legendary ones.

Prey is now on my list for a great follow up to the Predator franchise re-invigorating my love for the Yautja lore and hope for more of these types of projects in the future.… Expand

Best complete Predator movie since the original. This one follows the evolution of a Comanche warrior (Naru) within her tribe. Along with her on the adventure is her awesome dog sidekick as they track and are hunted by the Predator who has landed on earth for the thrill of hunting all animals, not just humans. The story and narrative pacing moves very well and there are fun period twists and introductions of new characters and side quests and storylines. Great Easter eggs and dialogue odes from the original two movies as well. In some instances the movie is let down visually by subpar visual effects and action choreography but overall does not take much away from its enjoyment - you're able to bend a little as an audience. Fun quick watch with a great climax, hoping it reinvigorates the Predator franchise.

Prey is about as awesome as The Predator should have been. While The Predator had too many goofy characters with each one the comedy relief. Prey knows to take itself seriously.
Though I admit that one kill of an unarmed man makes no sense. I do like that the movie ties in to Predator 2. Since Danny Glover was handed a gun from the 1700’s.
Which makes me wonder if Naru is eventually killed and the gun is taken by the Predators as a trophy. Since I think it is the gun she learned to use.… Expand

Prey even changed title to show that it is not just remaking the first movie, but taking it's very very general concept and doing somethind different with it. It isn't "female lead reboot" either, everything is changed here including place and timeframe, not just lead, even predator is not as it was. And for me it really works somehow. It is interesting, fightscenes are fun, cinematography is good. It's not perfect sadly, and being a reboot it's not strictly speaking original thus 8. But I can recommend it, which isn't something I was anticipating to do… Expand

She doesn't defeat the predator with her bare hands, she literally says she only wins because it doesn't see her as a threat. It's the whole point! Her brother's shown to be the better warrior but he still loses because skill and strength aren't enough!

It makes me sad to see this didn't get a feature release because it's a great film, awesome action scenes, plays with expectations, has nods to fans without being in your face about it and the predator in this is the most brutal version so far.

I love watching it. It's kind of a pet movie for me now. I like putting it on every other day or so just so to watch some scenes while doing other stuff, leaving it on the background. The predator is awesome. Photography is awesome. Ambientation/ localization is awesome. Main characters are awesome. They feel well fleshed out even though not many have screentime.

No woke content at all. Vilifing whites doesn't come out as woke, since it's historically acurate, female main character isn't overpowered just for being a woman. In fact her weakness is used in her favor, and they acknoledge that giving her a proper character arc. She gives her best to become who she wants, she fails, she keeps fighting, she gets afraid, gets overwhelmed, but as every good main hero-ish character, she overcomes her chalenges and comes out bigger.

She's small, human and credible. She's not strong, but that doesn't stop her from being quick-witted and a natural warrior or leader. Her strength is in her personality and her presence. She's smart, and this movie is beaultiful to watch.

The music also has smart decisions, using tribal concepts and components alongside technologiical and electronic sounds. Even the predator's mask matches this setup. Everything is very cohesive.… Expand

This is just as good as the original Predator film if not better in some areas. The cinematography, visual effects, and music are all honestly better than the original film with the cinematography itself especially standing out as one of the better shot films that have come out in 2022. The original Terminator film has a better lead character and better action though. That’s not to say that Amber Midthunder’s character is bad. In fact, her character is honestly pretty great but I prefer Arnold’s character just a little bit more. Midthunder does a great job in the role and she is one of the best parts of the film. This film does have some similar issues to the original film in that the side characters aren’t fleshed out enough, although they are more fleshed out here than in the original film, and the film doesn’t become truly great up until the last 30 minutes. This film however doesn’t have the issue of not knowing what the film wants to be like the original. Prey definitely is very slow at the start but once the actual predator shows up then it kicks into high gear. The death scenes here are particularly brutal at points and the action is really great all around especially the final action scene. I love how Naru has to find a way to kill the predator using its own weapons as it really brought her character into her own and not in the shadow of Arnold’s from the original. If you like the original Predator movie then you’ll most likely enjoy this.… Expand

There's a lot of surprises and awesome badass, action sequences that feels really well thought out and I couldn't help but notice 'The Revenant' vives, which is a good thing of course. the ending was a bit rushed, could've been better.

There"Prey" is the beautiful example of prequel which expands the story of the previous parts, closes plot holes, and at the same time does not lose its fullness and interesting story, this is a film that the franchise needed for many years. There is no feminism if the main character in the plot was a man in the story, nothing would have changed at all, don't believe the reviews that talk about the propaganda of feminism. Also there an excellent story that keeps you in suspense until the epilogue, I have to give my respect to the director of the film, the plan that the main character came up with to defeat the alien predator is simply brilliant, the last fight is even more epic than the fight between Schwarzenegger and the predator, this is the best fight with a predator that I have seen in movies about a predator, like all history in general.
It's hard for me to imagine a predator movie better than this one, it's one of the best movies I've ever seen, so I'm not afraid to give it the maximum rating.

Imagine they speak indian, and its not called PREY, but something else. There is no Sci-fi trailer and you think your going to watch an amazing historic/action movie about Indians like The Revenant or Apocalypto or something. You never show the Predator, only hints through out the movie and at the end you realize you have been watching a Predator movie because you see it only last minutes like ALIEN OR JAWS.

It captures the essentials of the franchise, is enjoyable from start to finish and has a great female protagonist. Lets start at the beginning. The last movie Predator Upgrade was a disappointment so I had low hopes that they turn the tide. Then the reviews came in and the movie earned respect. While not perfect it won a lot of people over even some that were critical before. So I wanted to watch it. While being the 5th instrumental in the franchise it is the first chronological and set in 1719 in the great plains of what is today the USA. The main character is Naru a young Comanche woman who is her tribes healer but wants to become a hunter like her brother Taabe. She trains hard for this to hone her skills but it is an uphill battle against customs. One day she sees a sign in the sky. The clouds shape with thunder in a never seen way. This is the beginning of the story as something dangerous is emerging. I stop here to avoid spoilers. The movie uses the formula of the franchise well. It is again a struggle for survival against a seemingly unstoppable predator. It gets the dread and fear right which is for me the hallmark of the franchise. The main character adds a lot to the story and is fully to my liking. Like I said it is an enjoyable heroes journey from start to finish. Lets continue with the characters. Amber Midthunder is excellent as Naru. She is not a Mary Sue and I fully liked her character and development. Maybe the best main character tied with Arnold Schwarzenegger form the original and sometimes I think she is better as character. The rest of the cast is not as present and except an excellent Dakota Beavers as Tabee, Dane DiLiegro as predator and Michelle Trush as Aruka the other characters are not that memorable (but not weak or misused). Special praise to Narus dog Sarii who is also adorable. A good cast and I repeat the main characters are fully to my liking. The special effects are top notch and they give credit that it is long before the first Predator movie. The Predator uses more primitive technology that is still highly effective and dangerous. The climax battle is also really good. I must also praise the sets and landscapes. It looks beautiful and I am normally not the landscapes guy. I have some small nitpicks. It could be a bit faster at the beginning and other characters could be used a bit more / better. Overall I give an 8/10 and think this will get a classic and earn its place. Not as iconic as the first but those had more time to build a legacy. Maybe it will break even with it some day.… Expand

For everyone saying the movie's main character isn't a realistic character to beat the predator... think about what your even saying : it isn't realistic for ANYONE to beat an over 7 foot alien with metal blades protruding from their hands. Quit being so sensitive to the fact that the hero isn't a typical one and learn to enjoy the movie for what it is without so much misogyny and sensitivity… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's an enjoyable enough sci-fi, horror. I enjoyed seeing a different Predator in the feral Predator. I see people complaining about the little Comanche girl beating the big monster and sure it's implausable and all but we seem to be forgetting it's science FICTION. Let's be honest here. There's just no way any of the humans in the past movies should have been able to beat an alien with advanced tech. If it were more accurate the movies would have all been 5 minutes long with everyone dead. And I believe that's the point here. Instead of the usual brute force, hail of bullets beating it, it's wit, skill and intelligence that does. I found it to be a fresh take. And yes, the whole movie is a fresh, new perspective. Let's be honest here. How many more times could we sit through the same played out premise?
The feral Predator is one of my favourite of the Yautja so far. The movie has some great visuals. I enjoyed it, mostly. I just found that it took a bit too long to get where it was going. But I suspect that was more on my part than the movie. I went in expecting the usual Predator movie. Where the action kicks off early and keeps going. This is more sedate, until the end and then it really delivers.

It's a decent movie to watch but if you're going in expecting the usual Predator you'll likely be disappointed. If you can watch it on it's own merit and ignore that the protagonist is a little Comanche girl then you'll likely enjoy it. Otherwise, this movie probably isn't for you.… Expand

I highly enjoyed it and would recommend it to others, yes, the only thing I'd point out is it's probably best watched in a darkish room, as most of it is very darkly lit, so it's a bit hard to tell precisely what's going on at times if there's an issue with bright sunlight, glare or reflection.… Expand

Naru is a solid lead that works a lot better than most female leadsTaking the Predator movies closer to formula while increasing the terror by throwing it back in time with archaic weaponry helps Prey stand out and make for an good watch. Naru is a solid lead that works a lot better than most female leads thrown out by Hollywood today due to personal stakes and struggles, while the rest of the supporting cast is good as well. The action is coordinated and shot very well, and the gore is very much there and brutal as it is in almost all Predator movies. This should make for a great film, however budget constraints clearly hold this back from being an epic that can match the original Predator movie. The CGI is definitely restrained and not particularly great when used, the scale feels very small (working both in favor of and against the film), and the forrest sets are definitely bland. Additionally, the pacing is a bit all over the place, with the movie taking its sweet time early on and rushing a bit through the second half. Overall, though, given what the Predator franchise has put out before, there's no doubt Prey is the best since the OG movie.… Expand

The only thing that let's it down a bit is the amount of times Predator could have killed the protagonist but let her live. This makes her eventual dominance over him less of a payoff.

It was certainly the wrong decision to cast a babyface as the lead for an action film. Unless you hoping for a Hunger Games success, and a franchise film is never that, the lead would have been more believable if she was more mature, older, maybe in her mid-30s or early 40s. You know, that experienced female warrior that is not accepted by her tribe as a warrior? But I guess that quite an inexperienced writer such as Patrick Aison was unable to handle that. Same applies to the lack of memorable lines, or generally, what again was the name of the protagonist? What is her personality, other than living some coming-of-age problem at the age of 25? But nevertheless, certainly better than anooooother Alien vs Predator garbage. By the way, I would have made it a 7/10 but I guess I wanted to pump it a bit due to the low-rating spammers who seem not have even watched this film, or the Predator franchise films before.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dude, how do you dare to say that men are weak in this movie. Taabe is a freakin' beast, he could've taken the Predator solo (a shame he was injured and ended up dying). The first three men that get killed were taken by surprise by a 7-feet-tall behemoth with alien technology. How the **** do you expect them to have any sort of chance (even though they manage to injure the Predator).

This movie is not a 10, of course, but it's undenyable that it's the best one since the first movie. Just take a look at Predator 2, which was not awful, but didn't bring nothin special until the end of the film, or Predators, which was just a mere 5/10 (and for the love of God let's just forget that The Predator in 2018 was even a concept by itself).

This movie brings the same feeling that the first movie gave us. We cannot be taken by surprise, we already know how the predator is, we know how this works, so they cannot play with the unknown as they did in 1987, and they still managed to release a pretty decent film. The only thing about this film I didn't like is that it felt a bit rushed towards the end, and the explanation they gave about Raphael Andolini's pistol was more of a "meh" (I still prefer the comic version in this), but overall I enjoyed it. And I'll say more, I would have paid to watch this movie in theaters.

It's sad to see how people cannot see a popular franchise release a movie with a female protagonist without the incel army jumping onto it. Yes, guys, there are bad movies with female protagonists, like Birds of Prey, Captain Marvel, and so on, but I recommend you to actually watch this movie and then re-read what you just published here. Is it perfect? No, it is not. Is it a 10 for a movie? Of course not. Is it a 10 for a Predator movie? Not even the first Predator movie was a 10 for his own franchise. Is it watchable and enjoyable? Of course it is, and I love seeing this franchise resurrected with a movie of this level.… Expand

Amber Midthunder delivers a memorable performance as a Commanche warrior in the making. The emphasis on the hunt, respecting the adversary with careful study, and not blindly charging in with foolish bravado is the spirit of those who prey on the apex Predator, who hunts the hunter. We see some beloved callbacks to the previous installments, but the story's overall arc is fresh and unique from its predecessors. There were times the animal CGI seemed a little rushed, but that's probably the result of a direct-to-stream budget. I was also concerned about unrealistic protagonist arcs (ahem, Rey Skywalker), but there were sufficient realistic setbacks to add credence to the story. The unspoiled magnificence of the northern plains is breathtaking. It is sad to think the beauty of this land, and its original peoples, are now just a memory. All the sadder to see the destructive greed of the early French trapper gangs. We have heard Predators have scoured the galaxy for centuries looking for worthy Prey, it's so rewarding to see one of these chapters play out amongst a tribe of the great warriors. I really hope future filmmakers take a lesson from this excellent work - we don’t need to see cursing, tougher-than-life grunts smashing their way through (Alien 2 exempted), we need sensitive, nuanced portrayals that stay true to canon and precedent.… Expand

Arguably the best "Predator" movie yet! Loved the setting, the time period and the cool little nods to the original Predator starring Arnie. Amber MidThunder really shines as Naru and the Movie does a good of establishing the characters. TheArguably the best "Predator" movie yet!

Though only released through streaming service Hulu, I think this deserves a theatrical release. I have not watched a Predator movie before but this convinced me to give the other installments in the franchise a try. This movie has the gore and action scenes to make you cream your pants. I definitely did when the predator alien used his tech to slaughter everyone. I admire the amount of detail to make this prequel unique but at the same time an homage to these types of films.… Expand

The acceptance of the first part is felt, however, the film is original. Excellent storytelling, chic camera work, acting by the actor does not raise any questions. Overall, I was very pleased with the movie. But, there are also a few moments that slightly, but saddened me. CGI animals look very average in places (although if you take it as a whole, it’s very good). The design of the Predator, especially without the mask, seemed controversial to me.
I recommend watching this movie, especially if you are a fan of this franchise.… Expand

The story is simple and straightforward... a tribe of comanche hunters who cross paths with the Predator in the early 1700s. One of the first things I liked was the cinematography. I think this movie has the best cinematography out of the entire franchise.

This movie represented the predator so well, he is really ruthless and brutal. His code of conduct and how he manipulates his prey are all fascinating and are shown very well.

It's nice to see how Naru (Amber Midthunder) is skilled and intelligent, but still suffers minor defeats throughout the beginning of the story, but she never stops learning from them. She plays to her strengths to fight a stronger and technically superior opponent and believably so. Beautifully done. I hope we get more movies of this quality in the future.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a fresh take on the Predator Universe and I really appreciated it. From the lack of SUPER advance technology due to the timeline to the very unique take on the 1700-1800s, it really is a good movie. The predator was very unique and brutal, as is needed, and the main character although sometimes a little bland was still pretty well wrote.… Expand

I read about some girl power **** well for one its really well self explained in the movie so nothing wrong this time around. Lead actress and her brother are doing great job portraying their characters and the movie itself is really intense. I had a real blast, only downside was ugly cgi bear but even that was ok because his fight with predator was quite exciting. Also new look of alien creature was intimidating would love if it turned out to be a different species from the ones from other movies, crossover could have nice potential.… Expand

Really good cinematic work, artistic and beautiful. The predator was pretty good, not threatening enough tho. The characters where decent but somewhat cliche. I enjoyed the movie overall and it was more than i expected

I urge anyone who is planning to watch this movie to watch the Comanchee language version, which can be found in the extras tab for Prey on Disney+
This is one of best movies I've seen and the best Predator movie by an order of magnitude.

Not only is PREY a good PREDATOR movie, it's just a good movie in general. Phenomenally well shot, with great action, bringing the Predator down to a low-tech historical period is pretty brilliant. Instead of an arms race, we get to see a character who has to use her wits an ingenuity to defeat one of the deadliest killing machines in the galaxy.… Expand

Integrate in with Hulu and the other streamers or Fandango and the other ticketing sites to verify viewing or attendance. That said, disregard the obvious troll accounts review bombing the movie; the film is great. It is hands down the best predator sequel to be released. The only downside to the movie is how much it commits to the whole "first time a predator came to earth" thing because there is definitely a world in which this is the start of an Assassin's Creed-style turn for the franchise where people from all over the world in all eras face off against the predator in new and inventive ways.… Expand
