Prey was directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who also developed the story with producer and original Predator creator John Davis.

Since Naru was a child, she has trained as a tracker and hunter alongside her older brother Taabe, despite those skills being the traditional province of males in her Comanche band.

Along comes, you guessed it, The Predator whom has arrived to do some hunting of its own.

“If it bleeds, we can kill it.” Prey is proud to link directly back to the franchise’s earliest moments, building the bold actions of the Comanche warriors against the Predator off one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s best lines in Predator.

Once blood starts being spilled in earnest – and be honest, that’s why everyone has always watched these films – Prey reveals a slew of remarkably staged fight sequences that engage with the Predator’s traditional equipment in interesting new ways. But it’s more, the movie takes on culture, community and love. Even though there is not a huge character building section in this movie, I still feel it’s enough,, and a lot more than the previous kill or be kill versions of the predator universe.

Back to the violence.Speaking of flintlock pistols, the weapons and encounters of this era are woven into the larger narrative of the Predator franchise, which is that the creature who hunted Schwarzenegger and his crew in the jungles of Central America certainly wasn’t the only Predator earth had ever seen.

Prey returns the Predator franchise to what made it great to begin with, incorporating the classic tactics and weapons of its titular galactic hunter against an inspiring, game new quarry.

This is good movie and deserves an applause.
