PREY - Angry Movie Review 

I've never seen a predator survive a trip to earth on film so I question how good they actually are at hunting

One thing they need to change if they do another movie similar to this one is give the predator a W and show the process and honor they go thru when returning from a successful hunt. That would be awesome

I liked how the Predator wasnt decked out with crazy ass weapons. It seamed like it was a young predator learning how to hunt. The wolf fight and the bear fight was really cool.

I loved the bear scene, it really sold the power of the Predators punching strength.

You guys literally took the words out of my mouth. Assassin's Creed styled Predator trilogy. A movie set in Japan. Call it 'The Oni'. Make it happen - make it happen now.

I really want a film where the Predator wins. That would be a shocking ending.

I liked the bond between the siblings. Taabe picked on Naru, but he always had her back. He would reassure her when he sees her conflicted.

The predator series was never about being able to "fight" the predator. Humans can't win 1 on 1 in a fair fight. It has always been about using our smarts to outwit brute strength and tech beyond what we had. It made perfect sense she could win given what was shown that she knew and how observant of her surroundings and what was done she was.

Still don’t think 2010 predators gets enough of love. This movie was really surprisingly good. Hopefully that continues.

I’ve never understood why people refer to Predator 2 as a guilty pleasure. I’ve never felt guilty about liking it; in fact, I think it’s a bloody good time throughout. And If you’ve ever read any of the Predator Dark Horse comics, it actually is very stylistically and tonally similar.

Love how the predator started off with lvl 1 mobs, then went bigger, and bigger, and of course kept winning. And how the main character kept loosing and loosing.

Fun fact: I love how the predator uses his spear weapon and metal arrow gun. That was also in AVP - Primal Hunt. Good stuff, he even takes his arrows back, just like you do in the video game!

Let's be real, no human could 1v1 a predator and this includes Arnold. What has always been the deciding factor is the wit of the human involved and I can't wait to watch it tonight.

What as soon as I here Alex say "I was entertained the entire way through" I knew I have to check this out

- Hey, finally, here's a good movie from a beloved franchise, how many theaters are we gonna put this in? - Execs: nah...

I like that the actress played a nuanced version of “tough”, and didn’t just snarl and flex like Gina Carano or Michelle Rodriguez would’ve done to portray “toughness”. Her performance showed she was relying on her intellect and instincts, not just trying to feign brute strength.

I'd love to see a Predator movie take place during WW2 or even WW1.

It has a version dubbed in the language of the Comanche. This country is long overdue for even the slightest of gestures of tribute to Native American culture. The casting, the acting, the cinematography. This movie way over delivered and was a beautiful gesture to the Native American legacy of this place. 8.5/10 for me. Watched it twice already.

A Predator set in feudal Japan sounds incredible. I’d also like to see one set in the Middle Ages or the Viking age: imagine a Northman berserker against a predator.

I think what really worked is that it was a fairly quiet movie with the dialog, I mean we follow her around and watch her do things without saying a lot. It helped set the tone.

Having predators show up in different time periods is something i've always wanted to see on the big screen. Im sure the comics have done but don't know if its canon? Broo Ancient Egypt , Feudal Japan , And maybe even The Golden Age Of Piracy ! they have a lot to work with. And maybe even a Predator film where we see them in their planets and see them train , make their Gadgets , commune with one another ?

Didn't know this film existed. So I'm sure I'm not alone in this. So now it's kinda sad that the best Predator movie in ages will likely be overlooked.

Prey was the perfect title for this film. They established early on that the Predator only hunts other predators, he never saw her as a threat. Well done flick.

I would love to see a Predator film that takes place in either Feudal Japan, sometime during the Viking era, or during WW2. I would most love to see WW2 just because then the Predator would truly have no limits to who it can kill since almost everyone it sees would be prey. They could even do something where instead of sending one Predator, they send like 3 that all hunt in different areas of the world during the war.

yeah no.... sorry, but no. I just finished watching this movie and it is absolutely stupid. spoilers ahead. Don't get me wrong, it looks kinda good but for a gory movie it really doesn't show much of it, lots of cuts from the violence so that's a bit of a let down. The bigger issue is the plot, it just doesn't make any fucking sense. The predator in this movie must be the dumbest living being in the universe, he is not even a hunter in this movie, he is more like a stupid brawler looking for fights, letting every animal he fights wound him, by the end of the movie he is so wounded by bullets, spears, arrows and such that it's a miracle he can even move. In the end, he gets killed by his own gear, as if he doesn't know those bolts will fly to where the laser is pointed at. all he had to do was literally duck or maybe i dunno, not use laser guided bolts for a target that is 2 feet away, his aim can't be that bad. Also it's really pressing my suspension of disbelief when a 50kg girl goes toe to toe with the fucking predator, a huge tall heavy monster that can bench press a fucking grizzly bear. Yeah she's quick, lets say that matters but he had her in his hand, that's game over right there. When humans go toe to toe against predators, it doesn't end well for them, no matter who they are, period. This movie looks fine, but it's stupid as shit, definitely not 8\10, 5\10 at best.

I'm so glad this movie is getting good reviews

The trailers did it no justice, finally the memory of "The Predator" can be erased and Finally someone in Holywood worked out how to make a heroine like the old days without it being cringe. So glad Prey is doing well and this franchise can get back on track. More period piece Predator movies need to happen.

I like how they made this predator seem young and inexperienced. He was like going through his own passage of right and thought he could just overpower his “Prey”

This was a 6 at best. The ending was dumb. The line that the predator wont see her either and that makes her more dangerous than anything made it stupid.

Hey! I was one of the animators on this movie. I’ve been watching angry joe for a while but its really cool to see him review something we worked really hard on. Thanks for watching, and glad you all liked it!

I like how they named this movie "Prey" opposed to "Predator" (and without going into spoilers, the name is actually quite clever) and they managed to add some homages to both, the original movie and Predator 2. It has some of the best Predator action, pretty good effects and in my opinion is something that Predator fans wanted all along for a long time.

The thing that bothered me about how the predator died is why would it use its bolt tracker thing when it didn’t have its mask on and couldn’t properly target? It was like the main character had a better understanding of the predator’s technology than it did

Let it be known that this is, I believe, the first film to ever have an entire Comanche version released alongside the standard version. I've never seen a "Comanche Dub" for any other film.

I came out incredibly shocked after seeing this movie. Stayed very close to the original two films, had a very engaging story, and didn't hold back on the Predator action we love. If the franchise continues like this, we're (hopefully) in good territory.

10 Cloverfield Lane made a very good impression. Reading that Prey is directed by the same person, convinced me instantly to give Prey a watch. I'll be back to this video after i have seen Prey myself.

Really loved the set ups and Payoffs for this film. her not listening to her brothers story about a wet bow string and her bow string against the bear, The orange flower, Quicksand, the lazer tracking, the shield arm. also love the parallels of her wounding the mountain lion and the brother bringing it home, with him wounding the predator and her bringing it home. great stuff

I personally despised tf out of this movie more than the others. The first part of was just painting native men as arrogant misogynistic douche bags excessively. Home girl leads them all to death just so she can prove her girl power. Once predator showed up It was decent. The last fight made me feel like I watching a home alone movie. She turned into Ezio and the predator lost all of his brain cells. I guess that flintok ball bearing in his skull was a defining factor of the fight..

I was praying for the dog too. Entertaining and solid Predator movie. Predators hunting in different eras of History is a great concept if well done.

I start the video and Joe is not screaming? Now I'm confused... and you got my attention :)

The technology being “primitive” for the predator isn’t because they arn’t at the same technology as in the original predator or predators, it’s because this predator is young and inexperienced so he starts with the weakest weapons to prove themselves also hence the primitive looking helmet because they have to earn the stronger equipment. Hence why the predators in AVP on the Aztec temple fighting the Aliens were outfitted with plasma cannons and advanced gear.

One thing I don’t see mentioned with predator movies is that these predators are all unique beings coming to earth to prove themselves/train. So like a soldier, some will be more confident some more dependent on tech . Each predator could have different motives and experience level at the time of interaction with a human

The fight between the main characters brother Taabe I believe his name is, was absolutely badass, dude was holding it down, the choreography was great for this entire film. A primal take on predator, film locations were grest, predator had it's weapons more period correct and not over the top futuristic, really nice attention to detail on a lot of aspects of the film. A little hiccups as all movies have, but this was a definite gem an a must watch for predator fans.

She used the flowers to lower her body heat but the Predator can still see the person, why did it just walk past her when he can clearly see that she’s standing up.

An authentic actress playing her role in a sci-fi film. Truly remarkable!

It felt nice to have a movie that wasn’t trying to set up 18 sequels. Just a 90 minute gorefest. It almost felt like I was watching something before avengers came out! I love that movie but damn movies haven’t been the same since.

An intergalactic warrior losing to a little girl with makeshift spear?🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

This was mostly good...until the ending. Absolute stupidity and lack of logic that the Predator doesn't know how his own technology works. Even after he saw it earlier in the movie.

I didn't think the whole "you're a girl, so you can't hunt" was brought up that much. It was literally the scene before they were hunting the cat, and the scene after. It's kind of sad that's the lense we see the world now, woke bullshit whether or not it's there. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and didn't think about the woke bs until you guys brought it up.

It was so damn good, and as a huge fan of the originals I was predisposition to not like this and it won me over instantly.

On god I am hoping for a Predator vs samurai movie. I always thought that having the Predators show up in different time periods would be amazing.

These guys must be drunk or on drugs talking through the whole movie

I honestly REALLY liked this movie!! Hell, I consider it to be the best of the Predator Sequels behind the original of course!! (And before you start commenting, yes this is more of a prequel than a sequel, but I still stand that it's the best out of the Predator sequels! Lol)

It was amazing how she couldn’t kill a mountain lion but could murder rapists/trappers with ease. Her 110 pound frame just Assassin’s Creeded all of them. The best part was when she got 3/4 of her tribe killed, because she’s a better warrior. Definitely earned that trophy. 10/10.

Nothing will ever beat the bridge scene with billy in the first predator. Went out like a G. That one scene has burned an image in me since I was 13.

I was so hype for the predator in 2018, I didn't realize I was really just waiting for prey.

why is no one talking about how this movie is literally the definition of plot armor, especially the scene when all the hunters were shooting at the predator, and they were all somehow hitting his shield

I'll be honest at one point i thought they were going to have the predator and the girl team up toward the end but the way they ended it was really fucking satisfying

I would love to see a continuation to Predators. They left that movie off on sort of a cliff hanger, and I think there's so much that can still be done with that material.

When the predator kills a bear with s single punch, after a little struggle and then lift it, the screenwriters are establishing a rule in their own fiction, then they brake their own rule by making it too easy to the girl to defeat the predator. That wasn't good

A message to most normies. You see. Predator can kill buff seasoned mercenaries. Yet a strong independent little wamen goes super saiyan against predator 1vs1. Even arnold struggled and used his traps to win, and he’s much stronger and more well trained than some little girl

The Predator in this movie is definitely a Young Blood. As much as I want to see a Predator win I can understand why this one was killed. Seemed as if the young blood was learning in a way. If it was an Elder Predator that bear would of tooken a straight shot to the head easily and wouldn't be much of a fight. Prey didn't disappoint me. There was gore, good action, beautiful scenery, and you see the Predator more often in this film. I hate when you barley see the Predator like in AVPR. This movie is what the series needed. The Predator 2018 film was a joke and should of never had been made. It's nice to see the Predator fight on the same terms because everyone can easliy be slaughtered if it had all its tech and gadgets like you normally see. Especialy during that time period. In a Predator movie I should feel like I am being hunted, have me on the edge of my seat, seriousness, and fear as in a Predator is not to be rekoned with.

I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that my optimism towards this movie was well-founded. As much as we all enjoy you guys tearing a stinker of a movie apart, it also great to hear some positive reiviews every now and then. I'll be watching this as soon as I can. I'm hoping this opens the doors for future Predator films in other time periods.

You mean to tell me that the predator, a stronger warrior, couldn't snap the neck of a 100-lb girl whose neck he had in her hands? As great as this movie is compared to the string of trash we've gotten after the original predator, no matter how smart this girl is, she still wouldn't have been able to beat a predator, much less, use his own weapons against him. It's reminiscent of The Predator 2018 where a tiny kid is able to wear a giant predator helmet and literally kills another kid and blows up his house. Smaller and faster doesn't mean a tiny girl will outsmart and out beat a predator who has essentially been hunting its whole life, different species for that matter, who is also the fiercest warrior in the universe.

I love how she wasn’t Mary Sue at all. She lost A LOT, got her ass handed to her and there was good progression. As for ideas: 1) Samurai vs Predator 2) Vikings vs Predator 3) WWII Predator 4) Predator vs Dinosaurs from the Predators perspective We don’t need a Middle Ages one… there’s already a fantastic fan film about that on RU-vid

I enjoyed this film and think this is the direction the series should go. Following a Predator in different eras that are stand alone films

To me the most exciting part of a Predator movie is getting to see it interact with different time periods and historical set pieces. I've always wondered what would it be like to see a predator hunting in colonial North America, and I'm glad the filmmakers did too because this movie fucking delivers.

i didnt understand how she came back to the village with a musket when she killed an alien with incredible tech and just left it all in the woods for somone else to find

This movie was fucking dope and actually made the predator terrifying again and it’s not just about the gore, this movie set up the perfect ATMOSPHERE that made the predator terrifying, the suspense, the build-up and the TENSION were AWESOME. So when the action started it was actually scary and not just “oh look blood gore shock value that’s scary right?, no” the atmosphere tension and build up coupled WITH the gore made the predator scary again

I was pleasantly surprised of how much I enjoyed this film. My boyfriend and I liked it. It was shot beautifully and action scenes were awesome too. I'd give this one a 8 out of 10

HOLY SHIT I just got Hulu to watch this movie and it was WAY better than I was thinking it was going to be. They even have it in COMANCHE LANGUAGE!!

I would love to see a predator movie where he wins.

I love how the animals can actually see the Predator regardless of whether it was Invisible or not because they could smell it, sense it, hear it. They're not as reliant on sight as humans are, and this shows it

The music is done by Sarah Schrachen who did AC Valhalla, and it feels a lot like when Eivor goes to the New World in the game. Also, a lot of the immersion seems to come from video game style camera positioning. I would love to see them to do something with Samurais or something given that is where AC franchise is going to next.

Just finished watching this movie on Disney+ in Australia. I’m now in two minds. Firstly, this movie was amazing. Easily, hands down, the 2nd best Predator movie after the original. The story, cinematography, pacing, music and acting were all top notch. However, I just can’t understand why this movie never got a theatrical release. Surely the test screenings were through the roof and Fox/Disney must have known they had something special on their hands. Even just a limited release would have at least given us die hard Predator franchise fans a chance to experience a magnificent film set in the Predator universe in a cinema setting that we have been lacking and asking for (and deserving of!?) in decades. Here’s hoping the team behind this instalment get an opportunity to once again produce and release another instalment in line with Prey, just this time with a big screen release. Given what Disney have delivered us on late, this at least gives me some hope that there are still some people in the organisation who understand what Predator has to offer both us the fans and them the company behind the IP.

This film was a breath of fresh air for the franchise. If you’re looking for something different that takes predator at its core back to the early America’s, then this is it. No cheesy comedy or stupid one liners. Just original story telling, predator battles, and carnage. This is definitely an 8.5/10👍

Naru didn't train to become a warrior. She trained to become a hunter. Her life long dream. She was forced into the role as a warrior.

This film is getting a lot of positive feedback. It's just kinda bad we assumed it would be terrible because our impressions on the franchise are so tarnished.

Amber Midthunder was amazing in "Legion" (a great show btw), will definitively check this one out.

I really enjoyed this movie. I would love to see a Predator sequel take place in Japan during age of the samurai.

I was thinking the whole way through this movie, why isn't it in theaters? It was really good I'd buy it

Wow 8/10 is solid. I’m so pumped to see this. I honestly haven’t heard any RU-vid reviewer who hasn’t liked it yet. That is saying something.

I have for years been calling for a predator throughout history franchise. The structure of the first two movies is basically “here’s a genre film with badasses and the predator shows up a third of the way in and rocks their shit” and I LOVE that setup, like having the predator drop into a historical drama in a different setting, maybe drop into a modern action movie or something, that could be so fun! I’m so glad this movie seems to actually understand what made predator cool: good characters interesting setting and cool punchy action

Can't wait to see this! Ever since the Predator 2 ending, I've been wanting a Predator film taken place in the 17th or 18th century Americas.

I loved this movie so much. The action and gore was awesome. Way more violence than I was expecting. I want to see an entire movie dedicated to the Predator killing French trappers. My only gripe was that it felt a bit rushed. I haven’t seen any valid criticism for this movie. 99% of the criticism I see is people crying that there’s a Native American woman as the main character. In my opinion, she was very believable. I truly believed that she could outsmart the Predator. I loved this movie and it made me go watch the OG Predator for the first time, so I’d say it was successful.

The difference between strong women in the 80s movies and how Hollywood tries to portray “strong women” today is that the women in the 80s film(how they were written) weren’t trying to prove themselves to be “just as good as men”. And their character motivations didn’t revolve around being better then men or having them recognize you. Today’s female protagonists in movies and shows do almost everything with the motivation and showing up the guys. They are constantly comparing themselves. Women used to be confident in movies not arrogant. When men see that it portrays weakness and reliance on others. Ripley didn’t give a shit what the men thought about her and the men respected her and she didn’t put them down just because they were men. Mutual respect. Mutual respect is an alien concept to writers these days.

I loved Prey; however, I have just two questions about it. 1. How does this Predator not know his bolts fired from his wrist are guided by his helmet? He fires them at the dog in the camp and go into a nearby tree because his helmet is on the ground pointed at the tree. Also, at the end when he points his arm at her to fire, does he not recall from the camp earlier that his bolts won’t hit her without his helmet? This seems very odd to me that a Predator doesn’t fully understand exactly how it’s weapons/tools work. 2. It’s face and mandible placement is VASTLY different than other Predators. Unless it’s a completely different species of Yautja, it’s hard to believe that the natural evolution of them would change so drastically in less than 300 years.

This movie was great. And the predator’s primeval mask design was badass.

This movie was AWESOME! I renewed my Disney+ subscription just to see it and I absolutely loved it. One of my favourite movies ever.

Damn so we finally get a good Predator film in decades and it's not in theaters and not called Predator. I've always wanted a Native American themed Predator and now maybe we will get more period Predator films like feudal Japan, Egypt, or medieval. So glad a Native American actress is doing so well in Hollywood.

Is billy in the original predator part of this tribe? It would be sick if the protagonist is Billy’s ancestor

this movie has suprisingly high production value, extremely well made and directed Prey gives me high hope for the future Alien and Predator movies

For anyone on the ropes about watching this movie go ahead. The whole you can't cause your girl agenda isn't as heavy as people are making it out to be, she does have faults that make her brother at first think she's not ready but she proves herself through the movie and the brothers support helps her get there.

I didn't really like the action portion of it that much either. First of all what are the rules? Does the predator kill unarmed prey or not? Because it killed that french dude faking being dead and walked right past MC even though she had a loaded pistol.

I like the idea of Predators in different time periods. Imagine Fuedal Japan, Samurai VS. Samurai Predator. Or even better Samurai vs. Ninja Predator.

When she killed 7 guys on her own I remember thinking. "Oh yeah, she's still is a Comanche ... " 1 Comanche warrior vs 7 French fur trappers (who are already shellshocked) I could believe it enough.

Tbh I think the whole “gender roles” thing was handled well in this movie. Hunting a hunter is not a fun job, it’s dangerous with a high death toll and I think the scene with her mom after the Lion hunt trying to at least justify a logic to it more than “it’s a man’s job.” Especially with the ending. People not believing a main character just make it more of an underdog story and makes the character more interesting and sympathetic than if they were just given everything, imo.

What a fucking cringefest! I lost my hope I'll ever see a good Predator movie again.

I guess I'd just like to see a film where the Predator is victorious

You left out how she never shows gratitude to any men sacrificing themselves for her and vilifies white men to a cartoonish degree.

Can't believe this didn't get a theatrical release. The last one that made it to theaters was garbage and Prey was way better and deserved to be in theaters.
