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.

3.5/5

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.

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.

Great movie. Solid plot. I appreciated the little bread crumbs tied to the original. Acting was good. Effects were decent but overall great writing.

Equal to the 1st Predator if not better; even though both are different movies Trachtenberg does draw on some of the first to connect the two - "... if it bleeds we can kill it ..." and the medicine to cool blood for camouflage (mud in the 1st). The cgi for the animals (bear, wolf etc) could have been better (but not the Predator, the cgi for parts of the predator itself was excellent), but since the movie was not meant for theaters it was probably an area left as-is, but make no mistake this is an excellent movie, well worth watching again - its a movie anyone can relate to ie the struggle. I'd like to see a sequel. Excellent casting and superb directing (I'll be looking for more movies from Trachtenberg) - this movie with some touchups to the cgi as mentioned above should have been released in theaters - its that good. Highly recommended.

Incredible, beautiful, and intense! This ending was far more believable than the last instalment, which was ruined by its ending! Two thumbs up!
