Prey (2022) - Movie Review

[@CodyLeachYT]

Correction: The Comanche Cut is just an overdubbed version of the original film. I was under the false impression that there were two versions of the dialogue scenes shot but I was wrong. Apologies for the false info.

[@Josehorror86]

Oh ok regular cut it is lol .. i thought it was awesome imo

[@jayfkay82]

Just watched the Comanche version w/o having seen the English one. Since I love apocalypto this works perfectly for me. Much more immersive I guess.

[@Jingokou]

It's pretty disappointing. I was really looking forward to watching comanche dub, but the moment I noticed the lip synch didn't match up, I couldn't continue.

[@justaguy7230]

Yeah, I read it was dubbed by the actual actors, but I'm not sure if that's true or not. I can see why they did English, because it was probably supposed to go to theaters (and I wish it did).

[@Nicolas.Vincent]

@@justaguy7230 I honestly can't believe a theatre release was so limited! Why isn't this playing in theatres worldwide?

[@sarcasm-83]

I always LOVED the vibe I got from the original Predator movies (well, the "mysterious" ending of Predator 2, mainly) that the Predator doing the hunting is kind of a young one sent on a challenge hunt to prove itself. That they have a code of honor of some sort, to only hunt worthy prey, only those who are armed - and that at the end they honored Danny Glover's character with a "reward" and the elder and more powerful members of the "Yautja" carried their un-initiated and "failed" predator away and let the winner go. Oh and how the flintlock pistol given by the elder Predator says a 1715, it paints a picture that it's from it's hunt near 300 years ago. It made the Predator character INCREDIBLY fascinating to me and I have been dying to see something like that in the films. So this being set to 1700 and having a Predator that is not geared up seems to be bringing it right back to this being that kind of a proving rite. I feared that this will be terrible "as usual", but having heard this review actually made me very excited to see it. Thank you.

[@adamhoward4775]

The predator targeting the Comanche is definitely accurate in terms of the predator wanting the most formidable opponents as possible

I think the Colonist Soldiers that show up at the end will be a little more formidable. At least that is what history thinks. UPDATE: Apparently they're fur traders. My bad.

I felt compelled to come back here after watching "Prey" for the first time tonight. I watched Cody's review of it before seeing the movie...... This film kicked major ass! I know I'm going to catch serious flack for what I'm about to type, but I don't care. "Prey" rivals the awesomeness of the original "Predator", with Arny, in all aspects. Aside from some not-so-great CGI, "Prey" is easily on the same level as any modern BIG budget movie, if not on a higher level, in my humble opinion. It was non-stop action from the jump, to the last second. Instant classic for me. Ok. I'm done. 😄

[@danskyl7279]

Prey could easily be 2022 movie of the year, it was intriguing from start to end. Yes I'm aware The Batman as well. Prey would be a template on how to make a movie of a franchise with new ideas without shitting on the establish lore or character (ahemm dark fate and last jedi). Edit: Prey was intense, great suspend, great action, excellent cinematography, great sounds effect, great OST and most importantly treats the Predator like a humongous behemoth to go up against.

[@danielh8569]

Completely agree. I watched it twice on the day it premiered. Had to go to a friends house to use their 4k projector. I never liked the Predator series, the original was at least entertaining. This however is probably one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. The pacing, the character development... this is how you make a blockbuster. So not okay it wasn't released in theaters. I want a halloween IMAX release!

I was completely taken out of the movie from the beginning. The CGI animals were terrible looking, her pet dog looks like it just came from a day at the spa throughout the film, and then we're supposed to believe that native Americans on their homeland spoke with perfect English in the early 1700's! I simply don't believe that 1 native American woman with a thin build is going to take down a Predator even in its early stages. This predator takes out 30 or more people in this film fairly easily and I'm supposed to buy into this nonsense. Just another attempt to keep this franchise going. A solid D-

I think this movie ties in very nicely with Predator and Predator 2. Obviously Predator being the first and best in the franchise. Though in my opinion "If it bleeds we can kill it" and "Come on do it" were unnecessary. With Predator 2 it shows that Predator giving Danny Glover a gun from kind of time period that Prey takes place in. So I think you can watch these 3 movies together without the others and it wouldn't matter.

Hope it gets a blu ray.

Holding out hope for my Predator vs Knights of the Roundtable movie now LOL or Predator in the old West vs Gunslingers. I agree on Terminator that's what they should have done after T2 go back to the Horror of the original and not try to go bigger than T2 that was their mistake even though I really liked Dark Fate.

[@boomstickcritique902]

@@kevinmiller7812 Well Kyle died so John could stop judgment day they stopped it in T2 to me John was never the focus of the series it was Lindas Sarah's character John was more just the backdrop for the story focus of the first 2. So I never minded him dying in Dark Fate because it was a great setup for Sarah's character and I liked that Arnold was the one who killed him after saving him in T2. They're going to end up rebooting Terminator and doing a back to basics R-rated Horror movie version with probably the Rock.

[@kevinmiller7812]

I thought dark fate was cool what I didn't like about that movie was the beginning after Terminator 2 when John Connor got killed and everything that messed up that's what made the movie bad for me and that mint Kyle Reese died for nothing so what I'm hoping for is another legacy sequel where they skip everything after Terminator 2 and go back to basic and make it a sci-fi horror film like the first movie with no comedy just pure action keep John Connor alive and have him become the leader of the resistance like he's supposed to Plus the movies started off with prison day plus it's a few years before 2029 everything still normal the bombs didn't fall yet skynet hasn't taken over yet and the Terminator's hasn't taken control and started the war yet maybe Sarah still around and you already know Kyle Reese is around there somewhere so he shows up either towards the end of the movie or somewhere in between and you already know what happens next that starts off that trilogy right there all the way to when Kyle goes back in time to terminator 1 with The Terminator trying to kill Sarah it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure all that out also the 40th anniversary of the first movie is coming up so what better way to do that then a 40th anniversary movie and the legacy sequel just like Halloween did think about it

Cody your observations and tastes are near identical to mine and therefore it's rare I disagree. However the mixed element of use of English and modern day English was a turn off for me from the first line or so in the movie. Unfortunately as this franchise is so big, the 'sell' would have neen near impossible to an English speaking audience if they went with subtitles, which is understandable. However if this movie was in a Camanche language then this would definitely be the best sequel to me since the original but currently sits near bottom just because of how irritated I got from the start and could not see past that unfortunately. Definitely agree with alk of your positives 👍

[@dannygagne4693]

Was impressed by this one, I liked it much more than what I expected. That version of the predator is a fucking killing machine and the way she kills it at the end is kick ass.

[@jondoe3347]

Have you seen the trailer for Chucky Season 2? It looks very interesting

[@alancrawford8749]

Regarding the CGI animals, is it possible that they present these animals as clearly not real so that they can cut off PETA before they try to get started?

[@JordanDaBoogiemaane98]

The yautja is more intimidating than the giant one from previous film imo demeanor and everything

[@taylorpack7705]

I still to this day don’t understand why they didn’t just get Arnold to play in predators. Adrien Brody is a great actor but he’s not an action star. Hell I would have been happy with van damme or someone like that.

[@mrflipperinvader7922]

I noticed this movie had one really bad CGI effect. During the one take figjt scene at the campsite, Naru throws her axe into a dude's stomach and it visibly clips as he flies backwards It was so stunningly bad, I wonder if the effects post production was rushed

[@jg5004]

The predator has scaled back hunting tech but can still travel the galaxy in super advanced ships.

[@AlcoVoz]

I didn't think twice about Naru hunting in the beginning. 'They're all hunting to get food, got it' is all i thought. It didn't need to be said the whole "I'm a woman you think I can't" thing. I feel like we're already getting past those kinds of limiting beliefs but film makers keep relying on it cause it's an easy story to tell. I wish they would've at least told that aspect of the story in a more nuanced and less blatant way.

[@rxtsec1]

All I know is the predator beat the crap out of Arnold so anyone else should not be able to match him physically. That's why I hates predators. Adrian Brody is a dweeb and there was no way he could physically beat the predator up. If that's what's going on in this movie than I won't like it.

[@leonardobraynen1524]

Thanks again for this review Cody. Didnt know that Prey was connected to the Predator franchise til 2 days ago. Your analysis was spot on! Loved the overall tone of the movie and liked how it takes place 4 centuries prior. More gritty ground out wilderness movie than '87 modern tech version version. Also with u in that Comanche warriors speaking english in the *modern way* as an 18th century native took me out a bit. I told my girlfriend they shoulda had dubs or subtitles in this. For example Ta ab tells Naru, *I GOT THIS??!* Nah bruh, no way Comanche warrior spoke that way in the 1700s. I woulda loved for it to be a little more like that Leonardo DiCaprio wilderness revenge movie with more survival stuff in the Wilderness. But overall i give it a 4.5 outta 5!

[@bookerdewitt3854]

Biggest flaw of the film is that they show the predator too early. I want my slow pace suspense like the original predator. Like someone is stalking them, where you're not sure if he's there or not. Nope, here it just lands on a ship, gutted a snake, hunt some wolves like Jesus Christ... Is the director afraid that the audience will fall asleep if there are no predator scenes every 15 minutes? I could cut those predator scenes so that when the big reveal happen which is at the bear in the waterfall, would have been a more effective reveal of THE PREDATOR.

[@aaronglover5448]

Why did they cut away from some of the kill scenes? I enjoyed it but thought we should have seen a bit more of the gore if that makes sense. Great review
