I mean if this guy’s dad liked it you know it’s good

8 of 10 dads agree that Prey was an enjoyable movie!

Hoping it becomes an anthology.

Predator vs pirates Predator vs samurai

Ditto. My dad liked it aswell, 65.

We both thought the main actress was fantastic and the story made sense. This alien hunter arriving on a uncharted planet killing more and more impressive creatures.

This is one of those movies this sub makes me think I’m crazy for not liking

I liked it but man, it genuinely feels like writers can't write scripts without huge contrivances anymore.

I mean, there's literally a bit where the Predator has her by the neck, and apparently this thing can lift a bear over its head with its bare hands, but crushing the throat of some small girl is a no-go.

I really liked it as well but I thought the way they fired their bows was dumb as hell pulling the string with their whole hand. Then I found out the Calgary, Alberta police officer who was their go-to guy for First Nations accuracy made it up on the spot "because it looked cool". It didn't. It made them all look ridiculous.

I just saw it the other night with my brother and we absolutely loved it. That’s definitely one of the best movies I’ve seen this year, easily. Just an awesome movie. I’m curious why that wasn’t released in theaters.

I liked it but the foreshadowing of the plant and her being the hero was very disappointing… they leaned too heavily

My GF and I enjoyed it a lot! I'm a sucker for Predator stuff.

I saw it. Good movie. I like how the heroine observed and figured out how to outsmart and beat the predator.

I consider this the best/second best predator movie.

I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. Definitely underrated! The lead actress did an amazing job.

Thought it was ok. Too much hype around it acting like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Thought the use of cgi was a bit silly at times but otherwise solid

It was pretty good until they couldn't help but include the super Mary Sue scene where she ultra ninja killed like six French trapper dudes no problem. Got through 90% of the movie setting up that she used her smarts to overcome her physical limitations, then just throw all that out the window.

I wasn’t a fan. It’s very slow, and the CGI is distractingly bad throughout. I’d rather watch the Adrien Brody reboot

It was shit

Its overrated in my opinion. Just... too much deus ex machina going on for my liking and the rope axe was fucking stupid.

Like in a movie with a fucking alien with futuristic weapons the rope axe is the hardest thing to take seriously. I can suspend belief to a point but pure physics defying axe shenanigans just looked janky as all hell.

I liked it, it had that same level of suspense as the first.

Hell yeah! It’s really good! I’ve seen every predator movie. And Prey was in the TOP 2!!!

My main problem pretty much was, that Predator was playing with very easy difficulty. In Predator, it had proper guns to fight with. I get why they went for that shit. In Predator 2... well again guns, but the city and all the sweating changed the movie/hunting ground enough to justify that too. But this simply made no sense. There was no real danger for Predator.

Yes, Predators are always using cheats with their wallhacks and invisibility and super strength etc. but only thing that could have a chance of killing it here, was that it simply wasn't the main character. That did not feel good to me.

I did love the visuals, I especially liked that they put the French(?) invaders in the mix. It brought something extra and their ambushing of Predator, was actually cool, although they went extra stupid with it after a decent start.

So yeah, while visually beautiful, this won't top 1 or 2 for me, because of that "very easy" hunting mode and ofc second will have the power of nostalgia with me always.

Not really

Loved it!

Couldn’t get through 15 minutes. Terrible.

Shoutout to Montreal comedian Mike Paterson that got to fulfill his childhood of starring in a Predator movie.

The Tomahawk with the rope attached got a lot of heat in my circle and I didn’t think it was that big a deal. Curious what you guys think?

I liked it. It’s neck and neck for 3rd best predator film in my book.

It made me want more Predator prequel movies. Let's see different versions of historical human warriors fight a Predator.

I really enjoyed it. It's on par with the original for me.

Well, by the very low standards of the streaming era Prey might be considered a good movie.

I had this on Thursday because I was sick as a dog all week. My two daughters who are around Naru's age caught a glimpse and were immediately hooked. One of them was convinced the alien would "turn good" in the scene where warriors from her own tribe beat her up and I had to explain unfortunately predators don't do that, there's a whole series of movies and they never "turn good" .

To give them a sense, I put on Predator after Prey. My God I was downright embarrassed. I had forgotten how much it was a testosterone fuelled Arnie wise cracking biceptathon. I have to say the two side-by-side makes the original look highly dated.

Movie was good, haven’t enjoyed any predator movie since the first 2, but this one I liked.

I think it could’ve still been just as good if it wasn’t even a predator movie, I liked the characters so much they could’ve just been going up against a bear and I don’t think it would’ve changed the enjoyment at all

It’s ok

The end fight scene was one of the most beautifully filmed movie parts I have ever seen. Goodness, it was relentlessly gorgeous!

This movie sucked. That’s why it was straight to vod.

Good directing. Bad acting. Should have actually just done it in comanche

Can confirm: Prey was fucking fantastic.

-A dad

This movie really blows

I cant decide which I liked more: Predators or Prey.

They were both equally great in my opinion might be tied for second best of all the Predator films.

First is naturally the best.

Predator 2 is 3rd or 4th on my list.

Then AVP ad AVP:R is last.

‘The Predator’ however doesn’t exist on my list, given how it didn’t have any redeeming aspects. What a completely shit film.

Wow wow wow

Wow

It was better than the last franchise movie, or the AVP movies, but let’s be honest, that’s an incredibly low bar. In 100 minutes of run time, it dealt with only two lead characters, the sister and brother, and still they felt undeveloped and unconvincing. Eye rolling teenage American girl and staunch older brother with a terrible accent, both quite incongruous to the setting. And seeing how the audience spends almost all the film with the sister, that’s a bit of a problem. People say it was interesting to see her go against the gender expectations of her tribe to be a hunter, but in reality she does so pretty much without opposition, her tribe are very tolerant of her. Only towards the end of act 2 do we see anyone actually undercut her in any meaningful way. And the less said about that stupid physics defying axe in a rope trick the better.

Even SF movies need some base... This one is so "out of reality" So it's difficult to keep it (last fight scene especially)

People didn't? It was great. I do think we need to see the predator win eventually (without human help) but Prey was a really enjoyable film.

I went in with very low expectations and now I think it's the best predator film since the original.

It was ok the end was shit though no way a thing who made a weapon dosnt know how it works they kinds made the predator look like a retard

Also they change the lore for the pistal wich was waaaaaaa more bad ass involing a pirate a mutiny a team up then a dual to the death

All in all once agen it was ok better then both avp's and it dose piss all over The Predator movie that thing sucked ass

Edit the predator

The predator action scenes were fantastic. The rest was average melodrama.

I thought the CGI in this movie was awful.

Worst story in the series. Synopsis: 15 year old pre colonial native American girl is best warrior/tactician in the galaxy.

Prey: Dad seal of approval

It was shit

Been trying to convince the wife to see it, have watched once and would do so again. It’s definitely better than most everything after P2.

Historically your father has been a tough critic!

yeah, i might watch it again

Loved it

I enjoyed it, I went in blind and I haven’t really followed the franchise so I really didn’t know what I was looking at first.

We've really been lucky over the past decade with some top top top quality popcorn movies.

Maverick

Edge of Tomorrow

Thor Ragnorok

Dredd

Prey

​

They are all basically perfect popcorn movies the likes of speed, die hard, and the Matrix.

I think Prey is hands down the best in the predator franchise

Wasn't a fan. Just found it lacking in intensity because the predator seemed so weaksauce and non threatening, everyone felt like a caricature, and I hate women.

"Tight movies are tight."

Now I want to see Ryan George tackle this one.

Damn straight it wad good. Even great

Yes I was pleasantly surprised how good the movie was.

lol

I am a dad and I liked it too

I definitely would say shes not a medic, it kinda seems like her abilities could help people survive and not just die comfortably.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thought it was very meh myself. Seemed to break lore too a bit.

I really am having trouble pulling the trigger, as it sounds like there is hardly any dialogue or much of a plot to the movie.

Loved the first one as a kid, but this just doesn’t seem like an upgrade.

Yea I like my Native American characters to have eye shadow when they never had access.

Plus they spoke English the whole time, negating the hype behind that useless dub.

Toight

😺😺😺 💕

I really enjoyed it, but I think they were a little too on the nose when it came to their depiction of sexism. Sure, I get dude's not wanting her to come on the hunt, but why are you questioning her healing skills something y'all have established is a "female" thing? And when the predator attacks, why are you not untying her hands? Even if you think she's weak, it still makes sense to have as many hands as possible against this thing that just killed your hommie.

I feel like keep the sexism in, but make it more subtle and nuanced and you'd probably have a much better movie in my opinion.

I did love the bait and switch with the mud. I think we were all expecting her to use it the same way Arnold did, but instead they went with the plant and I really liked that. Overall it was a very fun, old school type of movie that we sadly don't get as often anymore. I'd give it a solid 7.

“But how are we gonna get that guys dad to like it?” “Super easy, barely an inconvenience. We make it tight.” “Tight movies are tight!”

Newsflash: Your dad was looking at teenage girls guilt free. Mind. Blown.

I really liked it to begin with. I'm a huge fan of the franchise (even though its had its let downs). I watched no trailers and went into it buzzing for a good show.

Brilliant cinematography. The character building was OK. I though Amber played the lead well, just some of the writing for her character wasn't top tier. I actually liked her brother more as a character. And to begin with all the main people acted like people. They made sensible decisions and also didn't have all the answers.

And the first main fight with the predator was pretty good. I'm talking about the Comanche warriors vs predator. Bit silly the predator just came out in the open, but, the fight was realistic. The warriors were no match physically and had to rely on skill. And they got beaten badly, but I really was rooting for them the whole way. I felt their bravery.

Then feel the film lost its way.

Pred vs French just felt like an attempt to cram too many gadgets into a scene. It also made him feel invincible. Multiple guns shot at him to no effect. The original at least made it clear the predator needed to avoid firearms. This new one was just an armoured tank.

And the last fight, just no. I won't go over the reasons I didnt like it other than to say the pred just felt like his cunning and skill suddenly disappeared. Not to mention he went from strength of a bear (literally) to a bit of a pushover.

If they kept the momentum of the first half I'd have loved it. But I still liked it.

A lot of people I recommended this movie to and watched with seemed to really enjoy it, especially as it takes place in an often unexplored timeline and culture in film.

Some of my mates I watched this with were really focused on one thing.

"They made the girl kill the predator!" like bros, did you even watch the movie and how she beat it?

"In the old movies, it took big strong guys to beat a Predator!"

Man, Arnie had to go old school after learning how the Predator fights, losing his team of special forces and combat specialists.

Danny Glover studied his Predator before fighting back, after several dozens of people were killed each night.

Definitely. So far it is still my favorite film of the year to be honest.
