Besides being great sci-fi/action movies, lots of the great 80s actions movies are also great social commentaries, Predator included. Prey was great. I loved it, and my wife who has never seen a Predator movie loved it as well. My one question- was this a technologically inferior Predator race just because it takes place chronologically prior to the Arnold movie, or did this Predator purposefully dial back his technology to make the fights more fair against the people of that time?

Really wish they could have written a similar script without relying on animals. You don’t do a low budget movie that needs animals that can’t be trained. Either triple the budget or cut the animals. Imagine saying this about the movie with the best movie dog in YEARS. Sarii is a very good boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a female predator. That’s my head canon. The technology aspect I don’t care about, but its look can’t be explained well by three hundred years in my opinion. That, or it was a different race of Predator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few annoying parts didn’t take away from the movie for me though. Had a few laughs as well but wish they didn’t force some of the comedy. After watching this and a few other movies lately it’s made me think that every movie that comes out now is made to be watched once and try to make it as entertaining as possible for that one view. Instead of trying to make a classic movie that can be rewatched or appreciated more. Or it’s me IDK. I mostly agree with this. It was fun, and had some great callbacks but isn't something I ever need to watch again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowler1215 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Prey was awesome. Naru(Amber Midthunder) was great. It's her story, and she's an interesting character that you can get behind and root for. I also liked how the predator's weapons were scaled back, no plasma cannons or anything like that. It's well directed, and little if any shaky cam, you can tell what's going on during the fights and action scenes. I'll need to watch this one again 8/10 Doctor Strange 2 was fun. It's a Marvel movie, so it's suppose to be fun(unlike Morbius) Neat action scenes, funny at times, this is pure entertainment. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial impression was higher but after stewing for a few days I think it was a solid movie, 7/10 and one I could see myself rewatching in the future, but not iconic. Liked some elements and scenes, especially seeing the red lasers and expecting the cannon... and then getting the metal rods instead was very nice. But at the same time felt like the protagonist had some serious plot armor on at times. Would have loved to see more Comanche hunting party fighting the Predator.

MacReady Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I’m not personally a huge fan of Prey. Thought it was solid and worth a watch every now and then, but I LOVE that it’s a hit with audiences. Means more Predator is coming. With better talent and a bigger budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
