I watched it and was entertained.
Also lol at all of the movie critics here criticizing the reality of a woman fighting an alien in the 1700’s. |

Watched it. Thought it was boring. She goes from being a terrible hunter to incredible one after no training? Suddenly kicks ass in a fight for no reason?
When she fell in the bog the first time and got covered in mud, it would have been a great time to reference the original by having the predator walk past and not notice her. But they didn't for some reason. Bear CG was terrible. Not enough action. Easily forgettable. |

Quoted: This movie served no purpose besides making a Predator with down's. They nailed that. View Quote The fact that they messed with the creature design a bit bugged me for sure Both the face, and I felt the helmet/skull design was ugly. Again, you can try a bone helmet, but it just looked bad. When you take liberties with something like that, you're basically not allowed to miss. BIG friggin whiff. I didn't like the last 2 predator films either to be fair. Predators was bad Autism-Predator was bad. The hamfisted gender politics in this one was pretty cringe I might re-watch Predator 1 tonight. Off the top of my head the Predator movie(s) tiers go like this: Predator 1 (small but verymuch noticeable gap) Predator 2 (big gap) AVP 1 - this movie is blah. (gap) AVP 2 - this movie wasn't good, but it wasn't offensive (gap) (big gap) (biiiiig gap) Super soldier Predator - Adrien Brody wearing manlet sized Ahnold gear - GI Jane/Predator mashup |

It was a fun movie. I enjoyed it and her brother was a cool character.
If you’re going to be upset about the French trappers you might as well get pissed off that in 1719 there were very likely no white men at all in Comanche territory. |
|
Watched it last night. I enjoyed it quite a bit. My only real complaint is the horrible CGI on any of the obviously CGI animals. Brother was a badass. I would have liked some subtitles a for the Commanche and French, but just getting the gist of it was enough. I'd place it at #2 in the franchise behind the original.

As to the predator's design, I dug it. I suspect it was just a different race from another part of their planet and appeared more primal or barbaric than the other members of the species. Certainly, the Predators from P1 and P2, as well as AVP1 and AVP2, Predators and The Predator" all had distinct physical attributes and, aside from the "cameo" of the P1 Predator race in Predators, they've all be very different. The Predator 2 creature has a vastly different head, coloration and armor that P1. The AVP predators were "young" and looked different. The Wolf Predator in AVP2 was completely unique, and the Barbaric Predators in Predators were huge and completely different physically and had red-tipped "dreads". The rogue in Predators looked close to P1, but not the larger pursuing Predator, which was explained by genetic manipulation.

OIh and this bullshit with the engraved pistol pisses me off so much. This film sucked? And they're calling their shot to want a sequel before the audience has even reacted? What?! https://c.tenor.com/oyjFHu-E5yAAAAAC/jim-mora-mora.gif Fuck's sake. View Quote It was the pistol from the second film that tge predator gave Danny Glover Looking like the Comanche tribe gotta visit from the predators in the credit scene. Sequels are always put into consideration in any franchise though. |

i liked it alot.
she reminded me of the protagonist from the book i read 40 years ago "Island of the Blue Dolphins" I guess that was a woke book. |
|
It wasn't near as bad as I was expecting. For now I have it tied with Predators for 3rd place in the series. If they had toned down the know-it-all girl power about 50% it would have been a lot better.
I'm glad that they didn't make her brother out to be an asshole (he actually did a lot to damage the predator to where his sister had a chance) |

Prey - No Masterpiece, But Surprisingly Good |

I'm no archer by any means, but what is with the upside down retarded way of pulling back the bow that they were using? And the bow she used? 3 foot long and limp as a noodle?
|

Questions I had:
Overall it was a decent movie if you like the predator franchise or that "hunted' scifi theme. I would have liked to have seen the Indians devise more innovative ways to kill the predator rather than just "stab, stab, repeat then throw Lara Croft axe". |

Pure shit. I went in with abysmally low expectations and it still pissed me off.
The first half of the movie is extremely boring. The lead character is a plank of wood. We get about 45 minutes of her running around, jumping off trees in some half ass parkour, and failing as a hunter until she ties a rope to her tomahawk. Yeah, thats the ticket! Now she's a bad ass. The predator is such a tough hunter it kills snakes, rabbits, wolves, whatever, but then suddenly only wants more of a challenge later on. It kills anything and everything it passes until it gets to our pathetic weakling lead character, then he chooses not to kill her. The rest of the movie is breakdowns in common sense, logic, gravity, physics. Her dog gets it's tail stuck in a bear trap. Every male aside from her brother underestimates her. Every white male is a buffoon there solely to be a victim to the predator. There are zero likable characters. The predator, which is an extremely interesting and nuanced character in the first few movies of the series is a mindless killing machine that gets his ass kicked by a little girl. I can't find the words to truly illustrate how shit this movie is. |

A Predator alien meets a Mexican feminist. Evil white men fail to kill it but angry feminist succeeds. The end.

Awesome except for the obvious “they are not Comanche”, not in Comanche territory and the CGI animals were silly. I loved everything else.

I’m Predator 2, there was a T-Rex skull in the alien ship so how could this movie be the first hunt?

The film was enjoyable and had a good pace.
I need to rewatch the credits for the transition of the weapon, as alluded to above. Click To View Spoiler The knife combat in the French camp was the only deal breaker for me. Jumping on to the beast's back with the tomahawk was also fairly questionable. |
|
It was just OK. Sorry white knights, but I ain’t buying a native chick from 300 years ago is going to quickly understand how laser tracking works. Too many CGI animals.
|

I watched it. It was not cheap or woke IMO. Yes there is a girl who wants to be tough but she still gets her ass handed to her by stuff and only comes out ahead by using brains. When a force is so overwhelming that EVERYONE will get their butts kicked then brains is what is called for. The fact that they cast real NA in the roles is good too.
To each their own. I enjoyed it and remember, GD hates everything. |

Quoted: I’m Predator 2, there was a T-Rex skull in the alien ship so how could this movie be the first hunt? View Quote Who says the TRex is a skull from an earth creature? It could be this rookie Preds first hunt. As to his kit, he could be the equivalent of a black powder hunter now or maybe two hundred or so years before the original movie they hadn't made that kit yet. An M16 is very different from an M4 even though they are basically the same. Jeeze people it is SciFI action, not a damn documentary. I already stated it, GD hates everything. |
|
Quoted: It's ok. Not horrible View Quote Yep. I think the biggest problem I had with it was it literally shows Predator getting mauled by a bear, bleeding etc, and its like nope, im good not hurt at all lol Even the original had a quick scene showing Predator stitching himself up after taking a bullet. |
|
|
It was meh. Just not as good as it could have been.
Make it 20-30 mins longer, and just rehash the original. Indians vs. Europeans with the predator picking them off here and there. Wasnt a fan of the flintlock pistol cameo. The comic storyline with it is much better. |

Like a battered wife convinced by her abusive husband's friends that "this time will be different" I, like an idiot, ignored my instincts and decided to give this movie a chance.
The first two acts were okay, but it was all leading up to the third act where it would make or break the movie and, unfortunately, it Amber Hearded the bed. Even with that it was still better than The Predator (2018), but of course that's not saying much. I think the people saying this is as good as (if not BETTER than) the original are fucked in the head. Hell, it wasn't even better than Predators (2010), IMO. |

Finally got around to it, not something that I’d watch again but it was entertaining enough.
I went in thinking there’s no way it could be worse than Predator 2 and thankfully I was correct. |

View Quote Probably because the actress couldn't pull back more than a 5lb draw weight bow. I noticed all these things with a bow as well, having used to shoot Olympic-style recurve. Any time a character holds a recurve bow back for 30 seconds straight I start to get cringe-face. I agree with most of criticisms on this page. This movie just showcases how modern young directors really don't know what they are doing. I think I first got this notion when I realized JJ Abrams was a hack, ruining the Star Trek franchise with stuff that looks cool, but makes no sense. This movie had huge pacing, lighting, script, effects, and logic issues because very few modern directors know how to do the basics of movie storytelling anymore. |

Also he did point out a bunch of things I pointed out as well, which I'm sure will rustle some jimmies, because famous YouTuberman said it and now the Ostrich-brigade might have to take it seriously. |
