I don't think the main character is quite a mary sue, but she's a borderline mary sue(it's close). There's plenty to enjoy here if you can suspend your disbelief enough to believe she can go toe to toe physically with a predator, even an injured predator. There's a lot of plot armour as well, things falling right for the protagonist to get her into the position to trick the predator at the end. If you can look past all that, you might find some enjoyment here, but it would have flopped in theatres(it'll do well on streaming though). A 5/10 movie and no way as good as the classic arnie original. Expand

This website won't commit more than 665 characters right now so I have to keep it short - my apologies.

100 pound girl kills massive predator. Ends up with even no scratch after multiple ordeals. Women strong, men bad, especially white men (depicted by cussing French trappers). The end. Everything else in the movie was padding. Camerawork was OK (only good thing), characters bland, dialogs bland, ridiculous situations, animals were obvious computer animations. Low effort writing in general.

End-thought: a women's strength is these days expressed in terms of men being weak, buffoons or idiotic, by bending natural rules and creating idiotic situations.

Another terrible mockery, another travesty, another great exposition of this UNIQUE ALIEN HEROES. I'm a fan of the predator of the character himself and I expect the movies and videos for him to be on the same level as the character himselfAnother terrible mockery, another travesty, another great exposition of this UNIQUE ALIEN HEROES. I'm a fan of the predator of the character himself and I expect the movies and videos for him to be on the same level as the character himself is presented. The story of this character is at a very high level, and I expect and should make films about him also at a high, correct and fair level. When you make a film about this character, you owe it to yourself to present him in his best light. This is a hero who is known for being a killer. It's a hunter. This is a very strong, ruthless, fearless, highly intelligent, highly evolved, technologically advanced and much more... alien being.

THIS IS THE PREDATOR!!!

If you can't present it in the right and fair way then DON'T DO IT. Because everything else means parody, laughter, mockery. And this hero doesn't deserve that. When you decided to make fun of this character and when you decided to create a parody of this character then add in the title of the movie - Parody or something similar. Not only human simplicity, but also human ego, human self-confidence have no limits. In all the movies that are made with highly advanced extraterrestrial beings that have reached our planet and decided to fight with us in the end, the humans always win and come out heroes. How long will it be like this? This was not going to stop eventually. When finally, a film will be created that, at least little by little, unites fantasy with reality. If an alien race manages to reach us, it means that these beings are definitely much, much more advanced than us humans and can definitely destroy us very easily and quickly. But in this film, the story is not a warrior between different species, it is about hunting by an alien creature that confronts other less intelligent and developed creatures - cattle. The predator sees us humans as we humans see the chicken or other food animals. And a hundred chickens facing one man with an automatic firearm cannot defeat the man. It's the same with the predator. An alien being that is probably more than 2 meters tall and 200 kilograms of muscle equipped with alien weapons, armor and technology unknown and unreachable by humans to be defeated by a 40 kilogram girl with a height of 1.50 meters who only uses rocks and sticks, but most of all has a big BRAIN. And thanks to the fact that this person is very smart, the predator lost. Man is so very clever that he knows how to break a stick out of wood and sharpen it on one side and he also knows how to make a rope and he knows how to knot that rope and with these extremely clever inventions and the extremely clever running man was able to defeat the predator and was able to laugh and make fun of the weapons and physical strength of our distant visitor. Don't get me wrong I don't mind the women or the cast and I don't mind the acting (but to be fair it wasn't perfect) and I have nothing against making movies about this unique alien characters, but I am against making so many stupid stories that are not suitable to be presented even to children.

The basic premesis of Predator is that it comes to earth to hone its skills against a challenging adversary. I am not sure how that translates to killing a - obviously - underequippped Comanche tribe.

Story quirks aside the acting isn't great and characters are seriously underdeveloped. Especially the French colonizer which is a bland caricature (this is especially clear when you actually speak or understand French). The least they could have done was hire actual French actors, but they clearly cut corners there.

The focus of the film is on the female protagonist, and at least that is more or less okay, but not great either. As to call this 'the first good Predator movie in 35 years' is quite the overstatement.

I am a predator movie fan from the first movie, and really only the first two count. And preparing myself for PREY i didrewatch both predator movies, and coming from there PREY lacks a lot of the predator.

I recommend not to watch this movie in english but in the native indian language if its available.

Overall all actors except the main hero fitted right in the native people visually. So it is something you need to grow into. The Predator's face. I was impressed till the moment he was shown off without his mask... Its just.. why? why did you cgi it? In addition this predator, propably a teen, is skinny as they come. The predators were heavy full muscle creatures. This one is a joke in comparission sadly. Predator is way underpowered in this movie

The movie plot is quite alright, not much to complain about here. And the reference at the end, loved it.

Overall a not bad movie,mediocre movie - its worse than 1 & 2, but better then all the others.

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

Of course in the end, it's a bit unrealistic and over the top, but still smart from the main hero. The acting was superb. I had some problems with the French, most of them were very..pirates and stupid for my taste. The music and sound were crazy good. I especially liked the sound effects. They make this movie tense. I give it 75%. I wouldn't say it's a classic, but it's a better effort. Expand

Do you know why people in their 40s are always depressed? It's because we are old enough to have seen all of these classic franchises when they were first released. And then see them bastardized into shallow, anachronistic, trash. I'm just so tired.

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.

So, I just finished Pray - the latest 2022 Predator movie.

After reading the rave reviews calling it a "masterpiece", "a must see triumph", "soaring epic, intimate storytelling", "one of the best predator movies ever" and so on, I was really interested in this new take.
But somehow, this cinematic triumph never got the cinema release, instead it went direct to Hulu streaming services.

They put a lot of effort to show the Comanche culture. As they said - finally a proper representation.
So it felt really, really weird when one 18th Century Comanche warrior said: "Man, I gotta take a dump" In a perfect streetwise American English accent.
So yes - all the Comanche ppl speak in American English, while evil greasy, dirty, bearded French beyond caricature villains speak French among themselves. When French talk to Comanche though, they speak American English with a French accent?!
Comanche than reply in American English, together with the accent (not French)
Felt like Monty Python - though the laughs were completely unintentional.

Also, I've heard that Americans don't like to read subtitles. Maybe that was the reason why Comanche spoke streetwise English in this movie.
Now, they even made a dubbed Comanche version. So, to represent Comanche in a proper way that has never been done before, first they shot the whole movie in English and then dubbed it to Comanche…
And all that just to please Americans who don't like movies with subtitles. I mean, couldn't they shoot it in Comanche then and dub it to English instead?
That was an original idea - to shoot in Comanche - but Disney scrapped it when it bought out Fox.
Hypocrisy anyone? Hello?
Because dubbed movies usually look like parodies, sorry…

Some of the worst CGI animals in the 21st century I've seen. On the level of MCU CGI
The bear was laughable, especially the way his butt moved Direction
It felt like this movie was directed by an Artificial Intelligence that ticked all the necessary boxes of the 21st century PC Hollywood movie in the most banal and obvious ways.

Also, the dog's tail sprung the iron trap. That must have been the heaviest dog tail in the world.

Sometimes I wonder who writes this stuff in the first place, and I can't shake the feeling that it's probably some kids who didn't pay enough attention during history lessons or school in general but went online activist instead and used that as an excuse not to study hard enough.

It seems like our heroine somehow got to watch or play Mortal Kombat in the 18th century, and then she heavily inspired her weapon on Scorpio's
I just couldn't help hearing "Finish him!" in my head the first time I saw her figuring out how to put the tomahawk on the string and how flawlessly and formidably it worked!
Or maybe that was the writers… Probably one of them played Mortal Kombat and then, while they were "brainstorming", pitched the idea to the others without actually telling them where it was from. They must have been thrilled…

Acting
She's really great, energy, passion, conviction, physicality, emotion…
Some others though seemed like they came from a student movie The bad, dirty, smelly, greasy French trappers with rotten teeth who made "I'm sooo beyond evil" faces with their exaggerated laughs, and grunts and even growling were amazing!
The most laughable villains since, well, forever?

Costumes, music, sound and Atmos mix were great.

Our hunter wanna be Comanche teenager healer somehow without any training out of the blue takes on 5 dirty, smelly etc… French trappers and kills them more easily than, well, anyone I've seen taking on 5 people, even in Hollywood movies recently. Ok, maybe Brie Larson - but even Ray in Star Wars had to work harder in fights and even train a little to pull off what even Darth Vader never could. Disney…
I guess that's how Hollywood sees the strong female character part nowdays. I really don't understand how and why everyone is praising this movie in an almost identical way, very similar phrases, like they've been told what to think, feel, say, discuss and write.
The World started to feel like Logan's Run's hive mind some time ago anyways, and critical thinking had become in many ways - offensive.
It's almost like politics.

So when it comes to the representation of the amazing Native American culture, after watching Comanche speak modern American streetwise English I suddenly had the need to revisit Dances with Wolves. Despite Kevin Costner's mullet.
There, I will at least hear: "Tatanka" instead of: "Man, I need to take a dump"
When it comes to the strong female characters/empowerment, I feel the need to revisit Ripley, Sarah Connor, Thelma & Louise, Death Proof, Kill Bill, Hours…
Actually anything but this recent banal, obvious and lazy Hollywood trend
And when it comes to Predators - I'll just watch the ones that weren't friends with Mickey Mouse.

This movie is well shot and looks pretty, but its soulless garbage with pacing problems, a frankly boring set of characters, and absolutely zero tension throughout. I honestly couldn't even believe how stupid the final fight sequence was, only because of all the instances where in better predator films, the protagonist actually outsmarted the alien in a way that logically made sense. If the Predators spear refuses to pierce him, then how do we know his tracking laser wouldn't also NOT be able to be used against him? Why wasn't the alien a woman? Hmmmm? Really mediocre stuff, but maybe after Batgirl got binned we can hope for less of this crap coming out. Chuck it into the bucket of "attempts to reboot franchises that have failed." Expand

The emphasis on the hunt,I agree with the critics and fans alike, Prey is a return to pure form for the beloved Predator franchise, brand and concept. 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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was a fairly entertaining film to watch but full of things that make it hardly immersive. There were nods to native american culture, my favourite being it showed the respect they had for nature regarding the scene where the protagonist finds the carcasses of many buffalo and I believe then prays for them. However the story is based on the modern idea of feminism that for a woman to be strong she needs to be like a man and to do that she needs to be a hunter with a gimicky tomahawk on a rope. I suppose though that the film is a piece of fiction.

The fight scenes are entertaining especially getting to see the predator using it's vast array of weaponry cutting people down left, right and centre whilst taking a few hits of its own. The final fight scene may seem to do the predator an injustice but the thing to remember is that just before it, it takes a shot to the back of the head which could explain it's inability to fight effectively or to think, however there were a couple of occasions where the predator could've killed the protagonist if it'd have acted as quickly as it did during the rest of the film and points in the final fight.

Overall it was an ok film that i'd probably not watch again with some modern politics thrown into it to give a false idea of the Comanche tribe.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was fine until 165 cm/55 kg angry teenager physically outperformed, and brutally murdered a 210 cm / 120 kg+ apex hunter from outer space. Scriptwriters were backpedaling so hard that the predator was loosing IQ, and strength with every minute of the movie, so the rebellious angry teenager could win.
In the end, she was so brave, strong, and stunning, that predator said "Ah F... it!", and he shot himself into the face. Literally.
The End.

Another example of don’t give into the hype.

The acting was average at best, the story was tailored to a series rather than a movie, just not enough impact or epicness. The main character set off on the right foot, like all the classics, you know…I’m not worthy so I will make myself worthy. Rather than, the worlds oppressing me so I deserve to win 2022 mantra.

But it was all a bit too much Buffy and not enough Revenant. It’s a predator movie, where’s the suspense. Where the big chases, traps. The original predator was paced beautifully, this wasn’t. The cinematography just didn’t make it feel epic, you know it probably was all done in 4 weeks on the same stretch of forest. There’s certainly moments that look cool and it is of high quality. It’s just not cool.

Not a good Predator movie. Disbelief has to be suspended way too much throughout the movie and that's not because an alien comes to earth to hunt people. If a 14 year girl was to make a Predator movie this would be the result.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought it was pretty good, my one gripe with the film however is the fact that the Predator itself was quite inconsistent for example: It K.O'd a Grizzly Bear with one punch but can't seem to put the protagonist down for long and it also screamed in pain when stabbed but seemed un-phased when it's arm was severed. It's a pretty minor thing but I just thought the film would be a little bit better if the main villain was more consistent. Expand

The sound is also good. Predator looks really cool. And the acting of most of the actors is not bad. There were also repeated references to the first film with the legendary Schwarzenegger.
And now for the bad. The film is about a strong, independent Indian woman who in the most incredible way wins where she should have died a hundred and ten times in a row. Of course, I am not against the heroic image of women, but it was more annoying and raised great doubts about the exaggerated possibilities of that upstart. I'm not sure if the Indians used tomahawks for hunting, but this is a very strange choice of weapon in terms of logic. The same is true of plants that freeze blood, but so be it. How was it possible to understand that this would make you invisible, even if you stand stupidly against the background of fire and do not even deign to hide? A dog that runs to fight against universal evil, like in Disney cartoons. Well, the finale is the absolute pinnacle of stupidity that could only be thought of to show. It defies any logical explanation. At least I don't have an answer to that for sure. The music here seems to be pumping, but it cannot be compared with the legendary original track by Alan Silvestri.
White people are shown to be the most despicable scumbags possible. The actors tried so hard that they overplayed it. They even showed Europeans who don't mind eating dogs, like some orcs. In general, the film disappointed me, although there was enough epicness and potential here. And the Predator is really great here. Everything was ruined by stupidity and the desire to please trends. Although even with this it was possible to make everything more adequate and believable.

She has ZERO muscle mass or definition, yet can kick someone and they fly six feet!? She gets told she is not ready for what is about to happen, so the environment instantly teach that man a less about warning her. Silly man, this is a go whamen movie. Plausibility be damned.

The CGI is poor, the story is non-existant, and the director need to go back to school. Trachtenberg has the natives speaking English MOST of the time. But then he decides that the audience should be able to speak both Cherokee and French, as he cannot be bothered to include subtitles.

On a technical note, they had already established that Predators had plasma casters THOUSANDS of years before this movie took place. That they were not Neanderthals back then, and have not really evolved since then. So the artificiality of the Predator in this movie is plot armor. Making it critically stupid to the point where it is essentially responsible for defeating itself, is truly pathetic.

But they need to be believable within the confines of the written universe they are in. Those women were amazing because they overcame insane things and didn’t have time for woke points.

So this super Predator is making clicking noises just to warn it's prey? And waits around half a minute to kill an important character?
How much you have to push the main character so the viewer understands she is smarter and stronger than anyone? She has no weakness, not even her small 40-50kg body against a super killer machine. I really don't understand the hype. The whole movie is based again on the old story of Predator, but they fail to make him look unstoppable. Like with Schwarzenegger, you belived he found a trick that worked to kill it. Here they eat a yellow floer and they're good. Jesus this was ****

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm convinced people dropping 10's on this movie are doing it to try and counter the people who are planting 0's. Why do I say this? Because this movie is far, far from perfect. I finished it a couple of hours ago myself and honestly, I had trouble getting through it. I can't believe there's actually people claiming people dislike this movie cause of a female lead... Hello, Ripley would like a word with you. Difference is, she grew as a character, she wasn't introduced as this unlikeable Mary Sue who is out to prove something. Yes, I said Mary Sue. Why? Cause she can do everything better than every man in her tribe. She looks like she's 100 lbs at best and I'm expected to believe she can take down men twice her size with ease, or worse, a Predator who is probably closer to six times? The Predator overpowered a full grown grizzly with his bear (see what I did there?) hands. His bare hands! The lead even acknowledged this in the story, and yet they expect me to believe he wouldn't just snap her in two with minimal effort? Arnold was a massive powerhouse back in the day and he couldn't put a dent in a Predator when they went head to head. Oh, and remember, he was Special Ops, not just some hunter.


Anyways, I'll move on from the immersive breaking experience of believing a 100 lb woman could actually achieve the things she did in this movie. Let's instead tackle the sloppy plot. I give them props for the Easter Egg that was the pistol, but think about that for a moment... The elder Predator gave that to Danny Glover at the end of the second movie, how did they get it back from our new little Mary Sue?! Did they come back and kill her to take it as a trophy? Did the pistol just bounce around from owner to owner until it found its way into the hands of a victorious Predator?! I liked them being aware of the timeline, but they screwed up including it at all. Also, why was this Predator so stupid? Was he the redneck version of a Predator? "Hey, let's drop Jim-Bob on Earth and see what he does. Bet he runs around killing small wildlife before he realizes there's bigger and more deadly things to hunt." Speaking of wildlife...this movie is so stupid, it had a samurai styled showdown with a wolf. Yes, a WOLF. It was so bad I laughed but not for the reason they intended. Speaking of things that feel out of place...there's her doing parkour off trees, and apparently she was the first person to tie a rope to a melee weapon so she can pretend she's Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. Yes, I'm serious.


I could go on, but this would be sooooo much longer. I'll just raise a middle finger to the idea of her using the Predators tech against it. It's stupid to even imagine she knew exactly where the Predator would end up was beyond stupid. Yes, she set a pit trap, but she couldn't have known how deep it was or know how far up the Predator would rise up from it. How did anyone watch that and think that was awesome? I get turning off your brain to enjoy a movie, but this movie requires you to completely remove your brain and hold a drool cup right under your chin the whole time.


The only reason I left even a single point was because I actually liked some of the weaponry this Predator used. Its shield was freaking awesome! But, that's about it...the movie was bad, very bad. Maybe not The Predator bad, but pretty dang close. That makes it the second worst Predator movie in the entire franchise.


Thanks for reading, I wish you luck watching this movie and not coming out dumber than when you went into it.

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.

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.

I know the predators improved their weapons after each hunt but this one still had some high tech weapons and not a stick and a rock...and the co-producer saying this one was as good as the original needs his head examined.

The whole movie is average. The predator is a fool, because he gives himself a lot of damage. The girl is an assassin

Schwarzy in inclusivist pink quota. In 1987 the naive McTiernan did not imagine that to kill a Predator a commando of Green Berets armed with M60 was not needed, an ethnologist was enough to explain to him the potential of a 1719 Comanche girl always fresh of manicure. Professional critics of yankeeland voted this prequel with the highest score of the franchise, pardòn: of the saga: wonderful.

The original film had this incredible, oppressive atmosphere, and you could see the terror in the eyes of the Vietnam veteran team members.

But this movie has 10 million plot holes. The main character was a joke, but brother was good, dog was great.

I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the first one. It delivers just what you expect from a Predator movie.

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

Quite positively dreadful entry into the long running Predator series that Hollywood will try and convince you it's a franchise. Yet again we get a pointless Prequel of a beloved original classic film and it's "Disneyfied" with modern dayQuite positively dreadful entry into the long running Predator series that Hollywood will try and convince you it's a franchise. Yet again we get a pointless Prequel of a beloved original classic film and it's "Disneyfied" with modern day politics, modern day behaviours and 4 foot tall Girl Power. The special effects in this film are some of the worst visual effects I've seen in decade, possibly not since some other bland Disney cash-grab film. Seems Hollywood truly doesn't look over their rich history of told stories to know this trite affair isn't an origin story of the Predator as that story was told much better in the superior Aliens Vs Predator film from 2004. This rubbish is woke Hollywood's attempt to supplant a minority as the figurehead of all Predator events going forward, that we are to believe a 4 foot tall Native American with a trusty axe and rope went head to head with a 10 foot alien species??? Talking of Native Americans, what a shoddy bunch of cast members they got to portray the honourable proud Native Americans that completely didn't come across and remind me that I was watching an ancient tribe of hunter gatherers living off the land and being picked off by this otherworldly killer. These Z-list actors and actresses just reminded me of my time in Pasdena, Los Angeles with their "sooo cool for skool" SolCal talk and backchat, the modern mannerisms that seem like they all caught the time machine of Bill and Ted and headed to California 2021 just to see how snarky and insufferable they can be before heading back nearly 300 years in the past to show how hip and hop the 1700s must have been. Half expected a Starbucks wigwam tent to pop up. Besides the main actress terrible one note performance of scowling at the mensfolk and running like Baby Leia in the next scene, what also sinks this low brow effort at a Predator film is the filmmakers actually should have as close as true Native American dialect with accompanying subtitles to depict these old warriors of this nation from a bygone era. Instead we have Disney's very own Pocahontas for the modern age, that will sink to the depths of late night cable trash tv in the years to come. Arnie's 1987 masterpiece and Predator 2 remains the gold standard and untarnished in this film series. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I cannot understand how this B-movie is being well received. If you dont take things seriously, if you like marvel movies and if you just want to dribble to some entertainment for a couple of hours I guess there is value here.... I want to like it, I really do. But I just cant suspend my disbelief here. A plant that magically makes your body temperature drop INSTANTLY, so much so that an alien that 'sees heat' cannot see you. This plant makes your body heat disappear immediately. The entire plot hinges on this one ridiculous concept. Oh, by the way you can rip out a predators jaw and tooth and stab it with it without any leverage, with your fingers, while your entire body is pinned down, no effort, predators are made of paper... this movie really rubbed me the wrong way, and it is not because of the actors - I think they tried their best and are charming in their own ways, or the bad CGI (practical effects are on point in this movie though). Its the narrative.

I couldnt even bring myself to watch the last few minutes - because of how she dispatched the Predator.

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.

Surprisingly good movie, it took them 30 years, but they finally realised the way to build a franchise around Predator is to put the creature in different time periods dealing with different cultures.
Good performances, good action sequences,

Dont listen to "them", who didnt even see the movie, but decided to hate it since they saw a woman in the poster...

I liked it. It is solid predator movie. I enjoined it more than the last two predator installments.

Scores below 5 or above 8 seem unjustified to me, as the movie is neither that bad nor that good. Positives: Good action scenes, interesting shots of beautiful landscapes. Blood and gore are displayed, but in the right amount / moments. Visual effects are decent. This is a movie that would have been worth watching on the big screen; too bad Disney had a different opinion. Negatives: Excessive "patriarchal societies are evil" messaging. The first couple of times are more than enough to convey the message. The main character is simply not very likable: giving her a bit more background and motivation than being a contrarian would have improved the movie significantly. Expand

2nd one is super solid

Wow. Some of the best action scenes I’ve seen in a long time. And the premise — setting the predator in frontier America - is genius.

Alright....it wasn't the original but people getting way too caught up in the "TiNy FeMaLe BeAtS aLiEn" because while we can accept there's an alien killing for sport we can only accept a certain person to kill it lol....also while ignoring how much damage the predator had sustained up until that point. I liked the original story and the movie was much better than I expected going in. Expand
