Damn fun ride. Well shot. Well acted. Some of the best Predator gore to date and a character with more at stake than “don’t die.” Loved it.

A beautifully shot film with great combat, dialogue, emotions & a stunning score. Didn’t need to be over the top, cheesy or overly Sci-Fi to tell a great story. Really hope a sequel is in the works and future films are done by Hulu going forward!

I thoroughly enjoyed Prey,it isn't the overall top/best movie ever but it certainly does a brilliant job of keeping any Sci fi/Predator fan engaged,and to be fair it has really great fight scenes,the acting seems good,i thought the lead actress was great and gave the movie some bite,wardrobe spot on,scenery was legit using different locations and weathers,Predator itself was cool as f#@k,if not slightly different than previous Predators of the franchise,and the use of CGI was minimal or so it seemed at first watch.
Will certainly watch again!… Expand

I really enjoyed this movie. Easily one of the best additions to the predator story, I enjoy the prequel setting. The lead female actor nailed it. Arguably the second best predator movie behind the original predator.

Many scenes are predictable. And there is a lot of exaggeration with violence and gore. Otherwise an entertaining movie. Definitely recommended for a night of fighting without thinking too much.… 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

For an IP buthered by sequel and weird mixups with Alien noone would have hope for yet another movie about Predator.

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.

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 girl does not kill the predator all alone. She gets plenty of help from "men" to weaken it.

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

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.

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

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

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.

A young woman (Amber Midthunder) is determined to be recognized as a good hunter, so she resolves to track down the mysterious monster. Even though some of his traits are different (earlier tech), he still has enormous powers to quickly dispatch man and beast. The action scenes are staged adequately and the action keeps moving. On the other hand, there's never anything original or unique about the writing or direction (other than the setting). While I'm sure the producers worked hard to assure culturally appropriate decisions, Midthunder sounds L.A. and looks Goth, plus the dialogue also uses 21st century syntax, which takes viewers out of the period. Overall, it's adequately made, but won't do much to move the franchise forward.… Expand

It's simplistic in a good way and I think that elevated things more than hindered them. The plot is pretty straightforward - A young female trying to prove herself to her people ends up crossing paths with the Predator. There's not much in terms of a plot or a story really but what we do get is plenty of action, some decent gore, and a lead that is capable of making you care about seeing her come out on top.

The movie isn't without its faults though. The CGI can look downright amateurish at times and the pacing is inconsistent with the movie feeling a bit padded in the second half. That didn't stop me from enjoying it though. I think with a little more polish and tighter editing, It'd have been a better movie. However, I still think it is by far the best Predator sequel we have gotten thus far. I'm excited to see what comes next.… Expand

Not everything works, that was to be expected, but I definitely found it much better than the terribly disappointing 2018 movie and the middling 2010 installment.
We also have to be honest, mostly those who call it the best installment in the franchise since the original. It's not like Prey had a mountain to climb to top that. The one thing I find really problematic for the Predator mythos is that basically anyone can kill them.
I mean with all its technology and brute strength, you have a young Comanche girl with arrows, spears and a 17th century weapon to defeat it, that doesn't look good for your villain. I was entertained enough and that's all that counts considering I had no expectations before I started watching it. Needless to say, it's worth a look.… Expand

It does have a few of issues but it was not the usual heavy virtue signalling turd that the entertainment industry has been blasting out of their backsides for the last couple of years. If I am brutally honest with myself after watching the trailers I had already "pre-hated" this film and expected the story to be "strong independent native American woman, perfect at everything and only held back because of the men of her tribe, has to fight against adversity when she encounters an even bigger threat, white men. Also there is a predator in it". The trailers were so bad that I even expected Naru to team up with the predator to fight the evil colonialists. But this was not the case, Naru does go on a bit of heroes journey, she is a bit of crap hunter in the beginning, the dialogue is a bit clunky but it does not have to resort to belittling all men in order to show that Naru has strengths, her brother is clearly portrayed as a likeable character as well as a stronger hunter and fighter, sure most of the characters are forgettable fodder and are purely present just to be torn apart by the Predator and the white colonialists are written to be obviously unpleasant and unlikable but they are all French, so not too difficult to suspend your disbelief there.
It is no way a perfect film, some of the CGI is TV quality levels, but it was not the franchise killer that I expected it to be, whilst it does not really add anything new it does not crap all over any of the previous canon like Disney usually froths at the mouth with excitement to do, it has a couple of nods to the other films and is leagues better than the last Predator film that was released. Naru is certainly no Ripley, but at least she is also not another Captain Marvel either. Much better than I expected.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was every bit as cliched and contrived as I thought it would be. It actually has the line "if it bleeds we can kill it." The entire end confrontation between the poorly written main character and the seemingly weak excuse for a Predator is just so much stupid it is cheesy. The Predator can kill a bear in hand to hand combat, it can kill armed Indian braves and armed French trappers but can't manage to kill a 100 lb. girl...this movie is the definition of CONTRIVED! frankly my favorite part of the movie was the dog Sarii. They just tried too hard to make Amber Midthunder's character a strong powerful woman and it comes off as forced especially when going up against an advanced alien hunter that is like three times her size. And don't forget the magical herb that can completely nullify your body heat without actually doing anything else. The Predator design was kind of hokey looking too, it looked more like cheap cosplay than any Predator design from the franchise yet.… Expand

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

I liked the cast, the setting and the story in itself, it was a very decent vehicle for a Predator film. Sadly, the Predator itself was the biggest issue. Losing the final battle is always to be expected, but the closing 30 minutes is an assassination of what the Predator is supposed to be. A supreme hunter making stupid decisions, losing badly in what is essentially hand to hand combat with two seperate humans before being killed in similarly silly fashion.

The least they could have done was hire actual French actors, but they clearly cut corners there.

It shows some horror and dark parts but it develops not straight forward in this way. It has also some very very predictable and standard plots and characters. But it also has some great scents and gives off the 18th century vibe they wanted to show. There could had been more of this. And the best at the end: the fight scenes.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well it's a Predator movie so there isn't really that much to explain. One difference with this latest entry is the fact there aren't two different tribes of Predators runnin' around. This time we're going back to the original in terms of plot and tone (although they said that about 'Predators'). This time it's Predator versus primal man...woman...girl. This time it's back to booby traps, mud, and hunting. This time it's a Predator versus a Native American girl, yup, welcome to 2023.

Anyway the main crux (or carrot) for this entry is the fact it's a Predator vs. Native Americans. To be honest this sounds like the perfect idea for a Dark Horse graphic novel series for sure, but a full-blown movie? I just find it cheesy because you can swap out the Indians and use ANY period warriors and it would be exactly the same. Predator vs. Vikings. Predator vs. Knights. Predator vs. Samurai. Predator vs. Spartans. Predator vs. Mongols etc...The list goes and every idea would literally be the same albeit the locations obviously.

And here lies the problem, this movie isn't actually very original at all and once again pales in comparison to both the 1987 original AND the 1991 sequel (I said what I said). The plot is completely predictable naturally. The young female (with an awkward American accent) wants to be a warrior but the rest of the tribe poo poo this idea (present-day social commentary!), so she has to prove herself. At first she fails but after much perseverance and the arrival of a Predator she manages to do just that. Along the way we get various callbacks to the original including dialog, shots, and scenes. The main difference is this is a prequel so the Predator is using dated tech and for some reason looks completely different...again.

But yeah I wasn't really impressed here. The movie is surprisingly dark so you actually don't see that much gore. I get that they tried to make it look natural with natural light in the wilderness and adding to the suspense factor, but it didn't work for me. The movie wasn't suspenseful and I couldn't see a great deal because a lot happens at night. There is gore but it's almost entirely CGI which is just pathetic I'm sorry. This is why older flicks are so much better, real blood effects, practical effects, squibs etc...This is why Paul Verhoeven movies are so God damn epic. You don't ever really see the Predator's face that well again because much is set at night, and I didn't really like the new design. His mouth is HUGE! Takes up half his face and his eyes are almost on either side of his face! Didn't like the bone-esque looking mask either. Couldn't really see how it stayed on his face to be honest.

I also didn't like seeing all these wild animals getting killed frankly, kinda depressing. I get the gist of the Predator obviously but I really don't see why he would be killing wolves or snakes (I get the bear). The Predator is an intelligent species, it can tell the difference between another creature being a threat and another creature merely hunting for its own survival, right? So why would it kill these animals unless they actually attacked him, especially creatures that are so small. I mean, does the Predator have to kill every flippin' predator species it comes across in order to prove itself or conquer that particular planet??

Around the halfway mark a load of French voyageurs turn up because of course they do. Naturally these guys all turn out to be a really nasty bunch of White guys (of course) and cannon fodder for the Predator. At first it seems like there's only a handful of them but as the Predator starts wiping them out their number seems to grow rapidly (cannon fodder required for action sequences as there aren't many Natives and the Natives are of course goodies). Once again the visuals are disappointing because you don't actually see any of the kills and all the blood is CLEARLY CGI. It's also around this point where our female protagonist turns out to be a martial artist of sorts and is able to take out multiple grown men at the same time...ugh!!

So yeah...overall this was a mixed bag for me. In general the visuals are nice with some lovely atmospheric location shots. The Natives all look and sound authentic as do the French men whilst the Predator certainly sounds good and comes with those nice infrared optics. Alas the movie is packed with terrible CGI, bad acting, dim visuals at key moments, and the Predator doesn't look as good as it should. They keep changing the look but the original simply cannot be beaten so why try? The real issue here is the movie is simply another retread of the same old formula but merely with Native Americans. They have to move this franchise forward, maybe into space? Maybe onto the Predator home world? They cannot keep doing the same thing over and over geez!… Expand

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.… Expand

I enjoyed watching the movie. It's decent but slightly better than mediocre.

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.… Expand

The New Design of him was cool, except his new face Design. The original face design was a grotesque masterpiece of horrormovie monster Design. The is often too random and has no clean Vision. Often things happen, because something has to happen. In the end I would sah you will be entertained once and will never watch again.… Expand

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 might have been a freakin' work of art if they'd filmed it all in Comanche language, but it falls flat. Set pieces (and everything else) are too clean, Lead actress is too modern feeling.

I don’t know what other people are thinking when they say it’s as good as the original. It’s just a terribly made, yet well shot I’ll admit, woke film. They stretched the reality too far to get The Message into the story. I like a lot of Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley types of characters. Many. 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. I do not recommend this movie. I won’t say specific scenes but just check the CGI/VFX even. The best part will make you laugh.… Expand

Predator goes woke and fails miserably. Didn’t cost me anything to watch since I saw it on Hulu but that’s about all it had going for it. Doesn’t come close to catching the vibe of the original.
