Read The Scripts Film Review: Is Prey The Best Film in The Predator Franchise?

Updated: Aug 22, 2023


20th Century Studios and Hulu Original Film Prey was really good and interesting, I like the time period concept in this film showing us how things was in 1719 and how the Comanche tribe was able to live and survive was good. Amber Midthunder who play as Naru was good she fought hard to prove herself to her brother and mother and watching her try to be just as good of a hunter like her brother was okay and I like this character. The relationship between Naru and her brother Taabe was somewhat good he wanted to believe that she can be a good hunter but he was trying to protect her too much and I think Taabe should have help Naru be a better hunter and let her do more to help the tribe.


I really like how they introduce Predator in this film he was a big threat and he didn't care about anything getting in his way. I like the Predator design and having him use all of his weapons was great. My favorite scene of the film is when Predator was fighting all of the Frenchmen in the woods and how he kill them was so good. The way Predator took out some of The Comanche hunters was really good and having him stay invisible for most of the film was also good. Some of the CGI in the film was okay but you can tell that some of the animals wasn't real but I like it and the scene when Predator was fighting the bear was funny because they made it look like this Predator wasn't strong enough but he was able to take out the bear.


The Final Fight was good but there was one moment that I didn't like, having Naru fight Predator around the same place where she got trap in the mud pit earlier in the film was cool. Now the one part of the film that I didn't like was when Naru runs up a tree to avoid his attacks and the way Predator was jumping on and off the trees didn't look good to me. They made Predator look strong earlier in the film but the way they had Naru kill him was a let down and the CGI in the final fight look off to me but I did like how she use Predator mask to stop him. I did like the story and I love how they show off The Northern Great Plains and Naru becoming War Chief at the end of the film was good. I did like the easter eggs they had in this film and the fight scene between Taabe and Predator was good and making this Predator blind was different and interesting.


This was a good film it has it's ups and downs but I really like the time period concept. I would like to see another Prey film and put Predator in Uganda or in 19th-century Japan and maybe have 2 different types of Predators in the next film. I would recommend to watch this film and I will give it a 8/10
