What to Know

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.

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk Despite some dodgy CGI, this Dan Trachtenberg-directed thriller never stops being what you need it to be: totally entertaining. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) For my money it’s the best since the original. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 15, 2022 Full Review Adam Kempenaar Filmspotting 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine 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]. Rated: 4/5 Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Shakyl Lambert CGMagazine Prey is a bloody and badass return to form for the Predator franchise. Rated: 8.5/10 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo The Canadian Crew 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.

Dallas H I enjoyed watching this movie. Amber Midthunder does an excellent job holding her own in the lead role! I've been watching a lot of her work ever since I first saw her in the television show Legion years ago. I'm thrilled to see director Dan Trachtenberg continue to work on highly entertaining projects, ever since I watched his breakout prequel film, 10 Cloverfield Lane. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Matthew L Well. SPOILERS The good first: the special effects were really good. The feral Pradator was interesting. The bear fight could have been more! Amber Midthunder did well with the matera she had to work with. The bad: the native Americans spoke way too casually The Comanche culture was poorly represented. Where were the grown men? Since when do teens run the Tribe. Weird. The physics were magical They missed the opportunity for Naru to be camouflaged crawling out of the bog She got knocked out three times. How are we supposed believe that tying a rope to a tomahawk improves her aim How was she camouflaged near the bonfire? The Ugly: this is another movie where the characters are written to be unlikeable Naru is an ungrateful narcissist that can't celebrate her brother's achievements or thank him for saving her life. She disobeys everyone and gets everyone killed. This movie feeds way too much into the whole, "A well trained girl can beat a warrior" to where women are starting to believe they actually can beat up any average guy. Its almost dangerous. Lastly, the final blow to the predator required Naru to have far more knowledge than the movie showed her to have. I think, after she came back with that alien head, and none of the young warriors, they should have sent Naru out to bring them all back, then go gather with the other ladies. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review john p The CGI is horrible. I like the era it’s set in, but would’ve been much more believable if the the lead protagonist was a man, not a 100 lb girl. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review Jon B Decent movie. The story is obviously about the views and expectations of men and women and their roles in society. The action sequences and tension build nicely and it is an enjoyable movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review Pybro M I have no clue how this movie has gotten so many positive reviews. I legit made an account on here just to write a review on this movie, and let me tell you this movie is horrible. I was rolling my eyes after the 50th times of seeing the "boss woman" trope. The main character is the root of all the problems. She is the one that got all her people killed because she had to wander off thinking she is the best hunter ever when, in fact, she couldn't even fend for herself. Dont even get me started on the final fight, like you're telling me the predator could easily kill like 30+ men with guns, but cant kill a 100lbs kid? The plot armour is unreal. Scenery was beautiful tho. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Emilia C I have no idea why all are chocking over Prey. It is flat. Motivations are flat (i will hunt- they say I can not!- really?). Relations are weak. Predator looks ... well...ugly xD but not in a good way. People, think a bit Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
