Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, "Prey" is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior. She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people. The prey she stalks, and ultimately confronts, turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.

Critics Consensus

The rare action thriller that spikes adrenaline without skimping on character development, Prey is a Predator prequel done right.

Audience Says

If you can look past some dodgy effects, Prey is pretty much the back-to-basics Predator installment fans have been waiting years to see.

Despite some dodgy CGI, this Dan Trachtenberg-directed thriller never stops being what you need it to be: totally entertaining.

The rare franchise installment that finds a fresh, compelling spin on the material while also effectively drawing inspiration from the original without being suffocated by it.

Amber Midthunder is fantastic, the sequences of violence are bloody enough, and the overall concept works to give the film its own identity. [Full review in Spanish].

It does many smart things —simplification of the character's ethos, First Nations setting, the casting of Amber Midthunder as the lead— but overall it's a run-of-the-mill actioner good enough to make us wonder why it didn't get a theatrical release.

Rated: 2.5/5

Name a cast member from this movie? Bet you can’t. Hollywood needs to onboard the fact that only Arnie can take on a Predator. Case closed.

This was the best predator movie since the original and better than the original in a lot of ways. Yes, you're going to have to suspend some disbelief to enjoy it- that's the case with any fantasy movie. The major criticism I've seen is the idea that a woman beat the predator. She didn't best him at hand to hand combat, she outsmarted him only after the help of others.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Solid action, better than the original in my opinion, with better characters and directing, still lacks depth like the rest of the franchise though.

Oddly enough, I did like this movie. Little too much "boss girl" for me, but it did ok. I see they are coming out with another one, so hopefully they will tone it down a bit. I look forward to see that film.
