Prey 2022 reviews1/17/2024 ![]() ![]() If you hate depiction of violence and gore, you should probably avoid Predator movies entirely. If you prefer visuals over story, this movie has some nice visuals. However, they are not translated at all, letting you guess what were they talking about. If you hate subtitles, you are partially in luck, as the non-English languages are not translated in subtitles. If you don't mind illogical elements in your movies, you can enjoy this. If you enjoyed the previous Predator movies, you might be interested in this story. If you can get through the first half hour of the movie still interested, the rest will be something similar, just more intense. If you'd like to get comedic moments in your movies, Prey will disappoint you, as it's mostly serious. If you like horror or action thriller movies (Alien, Predator), you might like the film, although there are not many action scenes or scary scenes in the Prey movie. If you like supernatural or fantasy movies, you might like Prey. ![]() If you like mystery or thriller movies, you might like Prey. Image © 20th Century Studio (Disney) Will you enjoy this? Prey, movie for the Predator series (2022) Up to this point I've watched every Predator movie, so I'll probably also watch the next one, but I'm starting to lose hope. I think it's mostly the surprise of the story that makes you feel interested, but I can imagine some people getting connected to this story somehow and enjoying a second watching.Ĭhance of watching a sequel: Good question. Had I seen Prey (2022) without any knowledge about the original Predator movie, I think I'd have given it a Weak (2- out of 3 points) rating. I didn't like Prey at all, but I admit that I've compared it to Predator (1987), that was better in every aspect. ![]() Prey is a watchable film, with multiple problems.Įnjoyment: Bad (1 out of 3 points). I prefer stories with well-thought, logical plots, relatable characters, and Prey couldn't deliver that. Prey is a watchable survival thriller, that I think a select few fans of the genre might enjoy. I find this strange, as it would imply that the other times they indeed use proper English, instead of their own.Ĭompared to the rest of the Predator franchise, I've found this to be the weakest, although Prey competes with The Predator for this title. Most of the movie is in English, but there is another language (I assume, the language of the natives) that's spoken sometimes. I've listened to the soundtrack separately, and it's probably a better way to enjoy it, not being distracted by the movie. The music (by Sarah Schachner) is acceptable, reminiscent of score of the first Predator movie (it even uses some of the motifs), and sometimes The Last of the Mohicans (1992). We don't really get to know the characters. Due to the close-ups, extreme close-ups and blurry shots, I assume the movie was made to be watched on a small screen. However, the CGI animals are very visibly out of place. They are brutal and gory, but you can follow what is happening. There is a character arc for the main protagonist. The consistency is all over the place - there are unnecessary scenes, and there are important things that just happen off-screen. The fate of the protagonist constantly depends on luck, making the action scenes boring. The basics of the story might be good, but the choice of the protagonists and the actual execution of the story is weak. The Prey movie is about a girl trying to survive her first real hunt, while a creature hunts people around her. I didn't watch the trailer, nor did I check any reviews before sitting down to watch the movie. I hope that Prey will become this miracle that I'll be finally able to like. Even though the last Predator movie I've enjoyed was made in 1990, I still watch all those awful sequels, waiting for some miracle to happen. I've known for a while that they are working on a Predator prequel.
