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.

It’s taken... 35 years to get back to the basic premise of a primarily 1v1 fight between an outmatched human protagonist and the Predator in the wilderness. It’s like someone identified what worked in the original movie, and… used it to make a good movie. Go to Full Review

Antonio C @Tesako 1d La película se siente distinta, más natural, con un Depredador que vuelve a dar miedo y una protagonista que no es perfecta, lo cual se agradece. Aun así, el ritmo es irregular y varios personajes secundarios pasan sin dejar huella. (Spoiler) La historia de Naru funciona porque su evolución se ve paso a paso, aunque a veces el guion insiste demasiado en que todos la subestiman. Me gustó mucho el diseño del Depredador y sus armas más "primitivas", pero algunas muertes se sienten poco impactantes y el tramo final, aunque entretenido. See more Yuan Z @Lorewalker777 6d Feral Predator is awesome and so is everything else about this movie. See more Ali s @Ahlee.s 6d The Hunt is Back: Prey is the Revival Fans Deserved! The Predator franchise is officially back! A huge thank you to Dan Trachtenberg for doing an amazing job reviving this beloved series. Prey is everything a Predator movie should be. By stripping away the modern clutter and focusing on a 1700s "origin" story showing the creature’s early arrival and its first encounters with humanity. The film returns to its primal, terrifying roots. It's a masterclass in tension and a perfect tribute to the original See more Joshua J @JoshuaJacques Dec 31 Competely ignores the1st rule of the Yautja, they're attracted to HEAT and VIOLENCE. Neither of which is occuring in the movie's setting. Heroine is basically an untrained child who somehow defeats a highly trained, better equiped, more expirenced warrior from a far more advanced culture, who outweighs her by a good 100lbs. Final thought, if there was an herb that actually could lower your body temprature (which there isn't), in order to get to a point where you'd be invisable to thermal imaging, you'd have to drop your body temp to below the air temp (late summer/early autunm on the high plains, I'll be generous and say 80F) Hypothermia sets in an temps below 95F, at 82F most people have lost consciousness, and if you haven't yet you can barely move and are having hallucinations. And that's if youe aren't dead from exposure. See more Maria S @MariaSaavedraV Dec 28 I loved the movie, everything was brilliant See more Frank W @bukwheeet Dec 21 Great movie. Solid plot. I appreciated the little bread crumbs tied to the original. Acting was good. Effects were decent but overall great writing. See more Read all reviews
