Prey Review The Predator Movie We Deserve

Hulu's Prey is a 100% prequel to the 1987 classic Predator, not a prequel. Over the years, directors have tried to recreate the magic of the original film without success. Predator is the first movie since the original that feels completely like a Predator movie and covers the essence of the movie: the hunt and the hunted.

Set 300 years ago in the Comanche Nation, Predator focuses on a group of native hunters who join the Naru (Amber Midlander) in the Great Plains. Their camp is in danger, so Naru and the other hunters set out to hunt down the threat, only to discover that a hunter known as Yautja is hunting them. Naru and his team are now being chased and must fight.

The movie tells an incredibly simple story, which is exactly what you want for a Predator movie. Previous installments were too steeped in myth and legend or tried to create a more terrifying Yautja hybrid, but this franchise is all about characters who are hunted by incredibly powerful and hidden powers. The booty does well. This new movie doesn't need visibility to deliver a good story. Of course, Prey proves that simplicity is key in this series, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in what's going on. As viewers, we've spent the last few films developing Yutja culture, and now is the perfect time to enjoy the epic sci-fi.

However, just because the story is simple doesn't mean it's an empty film. Director Dan Trachtenberg tells a tense story that keeps the audience in suspense. Trachtenberg knows how to captivate an audience: he directed 10 Cloverfield Lane, which was meant to keep audiences on edge. As a viewer, Naru's story of fighting for his role in the tribe is intertwined with the characters and his goals, but the pace of Trachtenberg's direction keeps the film tense.

As mentioned above, it is sequential and not simultaneous. None of the characters here appear in any other Predator movies, and the Yautja here is exclusive to that movie. The promotion of the film is a bit misleading in this regard. It takes place in the United States, but the first Predator movie took place in the fictional country of Val Verde in Central America. And this is not Predator Yautja's first visit to Earth, as "Alien vs. Predator" shows that aliens have been coming to Earth for thousands of years. This is a very simple part of the criticism of this film, not as much as it seems, but it is important to know that this is another story about people and Yauja, and it is very good.

Amber Midender is fantastic as Naru. The power is there when he is portrayed as abusive. When he suddenly finds himself face to face, he is now being hunted. There is always a sense of urgency that matches the situation on his face. He is a character that you root for throughout the film and shows great strength and courage throughout the film.

While there are many similarities between the Predator films and Predators, which revolve around people being hunted in the jungle, the fascinating thing about this film is that it focuses primarily on one man and his situation. The film is relatively quiet and highlights moments. Naru suspected that he understood what was coming after him. This film is about bloody violence in the atmosphere.

Yes, this movie is powerful and extremely graphic. This is probably the scariest movie in the Predator series. There are an incredible amount of violent moments. "Did they do what they thought they did?" You may be asking yourself. The answer is yes, they do, and surprisingly. The action sequences they engage in are some of the most memorable in the franchise. Without going into details, there are some moments in this movie that you'll be talking about with your friends for years.

But what about the Predator design for this movie? Well, it's very different. It is more ancient than anything we have seen before. If you're a long-time fan of the Predator story, have access to the movies, comics, and anything else you can get your hands on, you'll love what's on offer. While we've never seen the same Predator twice in the franchise's history, this can be a bit confusing for those who don't know more than the surface level about the Predator. Director Dan Trachtenberg told GameSpot that these Yautja come from a different part of the Predator's homeland: the world of different cultures and Yautja species. So while the monster in Predator may seem primitive to us, the technology is simply powerful and the creature is just as terrifying.

The updated version may seem a little forced at the time, but it's the scariest version of the species we've ever seen and you won't even notice when the movie ends. In advance. Not an unstoppable killing machine. It has some weaknesses and it shows from the beginning. However, even Yauja does not give up. Like the characters in the film, he is strong-willed and never gives up, which makes it all the more terrifying.

The only real downside to the film is that the special effects feel a little rough at times, especially the CG bear. For a few minutes it looks unfinished or unedited. And thankfully the movie doesn't have a lot of CG, but when it's there and it's ugly, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Fortunately, many of Prey's effects were functional.

In the year After 2018's The Predator spawned another hybrid monster spinoff movie, it was great to see Pree return to the franchise's roots. Predator is a movie about hunting and helping people fight their attackers. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, but it fits in nicely with the Predator universe, just like the franchise's second best film.

Hunter will be available on August 5th.

Hunter Hunter - It deserved a theatrical release, well done!
