I love Predator. It is one of my favorite movies. I will watch everything that features the Yautja, no matter how bad they are. I have known disappointment so many times that my hope for the series is fleeting. When I heard about Prey, there was the bittersweet sensation of cautious excitement because the trailer looked cool, but I wasn’t ready to be hurt again. This movie has restored my faith in the series and has become one of my favorites. If you are thinking about watching this film, watch it now!
This prequel focuses on Naru, a young female Comanche warrior who is constantly trying to prove herself to the men of the tribe. The Yautja has landed on earth, searching for worthy prey to hunt. The Yautja begins to hunt the Comanche warriors. Now Naru must protect her tribe against this strange and powerful hunter.
This movie is fantastic. The action is fun, the story is great, and the acting is fantastic. Watching the Yautja hunt is tense and exciting. The film does a great job of making the fights balanced and exciting. The only complaint I have about this movie is that some of the special effects are bad. Some deaths and fights are cartoonishly bad, but not bad enough to ruin the movie. This is one of the better stories set in the predator universe. It has well-built tension that builds to one of the most satisfying conclusions. The acting is phenomenal. It goes without saying, this movie has one of the best female leads in the genre. She is cool and smart, and I believed she was capable of hunting the Yautja. I can only hope there are more movies of this caliber for the genre and the predator universe.
It cannot be understated, you need to watch Prey. It is available in English and a Numunuu dubbing. I wish the whole movie was done in Numunuu, and we got an English dubbing after; but we might not be there as a society yet

Agreed! I have expected to be let down and I just enjoyed every bit of this movie. The tiny homage to the original Predator was sweet.

Thank you for the recommendation. This movie was amazing. When Predator picks up that bear and slams it down like a sack of rice. *sploosh* Plus the main character was well written and cast and when she started fighting that other guy from her tribe I fell in love. Major boss energy.

I didn’t know I needed predator to fight a bear until I watched this movie. And you are right, total boss energy!

I was hoping this was going to be a cinema release, the premise sounded so good. I’ll look for it on DVD.

I am sad it wasn’t in theaters, although some of the graphics would look bad on the big screen, it was an amazing movie. Hopefully it gets its DVD release, I am willing to buy it just to have the physical copy.

They could have probably made a killing in August which is going to have some slim pickings in the cinema.

Agreed, this could have done well in theaters considering how well it is doing on streaming. Maybe we’ll get lucky and they will do a limited theatrical release, but I can only hope.
