Prey

Brilliant movie from the predator family, non stop action , good actors , good story, just well worth a watch.

Prey is a fiercely entertaining reinvention of the Predator franchise, being a period (1719) set Predator prequel directed by Dan Trachtenberg, starring Amber Midthunder as Naru, a Comanche warrior who faces a highly evolved Predator on the Great Plains. A fairly short film at approx 100 minutes, but it does maintain momentum with scenes of tracking and close quarters confrontation. Prey is one of the franchise’s best entries with NO SWEARING, so language is not a barrier for family viewing, but obviously contains frequent, graphic violence and bloody kills. Well worth watching.

Great dvd

A new entry in the 'Predator' franchise of science fiction movies. About the aliens who come to Earth to hunt. This is set in the year 1719. It's a stand alone story that doesn't tie into any of the other Predator movies. So you don't need to have seen anything else to get into this. Set in America as it was, the main character is a girl called Naru. A member of a tribe of native Americans. They live a nomadic existence off the land. She's good at tracking. Has a faithful dog. She thinks she's ready to go hunting for game with her brother. He doesn't. But there's something else out there that's hunting things..... I think this is just what the franchise needed. Not trying to set things in motion with stories to be resolved over several movies. But just a stand alone movie that utilises the concept. It does utilise it very well, it has to be said. Naru is a good lead character. The actress does make her likeable. The location filming is nicely done. It captures the feeling of what it would have been like to live this kind of existence back then. It's not a film that appears to have a required a huge budget. Even so, it doesn't look low budget. The cinematography is really good and captures the landscapes well. The cast playing the tribe are all native Americans so that does add authenticity. It does try to give you the feeling of there being an invisible and powerful predator around. One that could strike at any moment. There are times when the score does slightly get in the way of this. But there are others when it is very effective indeed. Although in it's first half this feels like a four star movie. In that it's really good but just lacking that certain something to be really memorable, I found it really clicked in the second. It does open certain things up slightly to allow for it to be more than just the Predator stalking a handful of people. There's some superb imagery in terms of how things are staged which brings some memorable shots. Also, the fight scenes are memorable. Naru is not what they call a girl boss. Someone who could do anything without breaking a sweat. You feel the fights as she goes through them, and you do wonder if she can succeed. Which is as it should be. The resolution is effective. Sometimes films like this seem to have no idea how to end. But this reaches a logical and pretty satisfying finale, without stretching itself out too much. A very memorable viewing experience. Glad I finally got to it. There's nothing extra during or after the end credits. The dvd has the following language and subtitle options: Languages: English. English audio captioned. German. Italian. Comanche. Subtitles: English. German. Italian. Although the actors playing the tribe all speak English, which of course they wouldn't have, it is done properly and thus it doesn't feel like a dub. So that works fine. Or course you could put the Comanche language track on and the English subtitles, if you want the really realistic experience.

Very enjoyable dvd from this series

Some crusomee deens

Watched this previously, enjoyed the storyline. Trust the last girl standing set up. Brought as a gift . No complaints

Very good film and worked well.

Todo Perfecto!

Me gusta la peli, la nueva de BADLAND es una basura.

Bon film, bonne qualité sonnore et visuelle, bon achat à prix raisonnable (14,99€)

This movie flick is not only capable of keeping you entertained with family for hours on end but fluent in communicating the old Indian values of the entire Indian nation. Well done Martin scorszi in producing this with director John Landis who wrote American werewolf in London and Michael Jackson's Thriller like Vincent prices auto dub.

I am old enough to remember seeing the very first "Predator' movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. and how brilliant it was as a SciFi movie, which sparked a series of lesser movies. When I saw 'Prey' ads and realized I was unable to view it on Amazon Prime, and that I believe it was made for video (not a theater release), I was so happy to be able to purchase it. It is BRILLIANT and, I would say, equally as good, if not even better, than the original. I love how it is based in the 1719 when Native peoples reigned over the land while white explorers and fur traders began moving in. The Native cast were/are actual Native American actors, which so added to the authenticity of the time period. The introduction of French fur traders was perfect, and I loved how there is no subtitles, as their acting and emoting clearly shows what they are saying and what their intentions are. The 'Comanche' characters (again, this was a mix of Native actors who played these roles and weren't necessarily Comanche Nation people, begin the movie speaking in their tongue, yet it becomes English, as if we are now Comanche, thus able to understand them. It worked for me. I did feel it was very much a 'kill or be killed' plot where any predator or prey is preyed upon, yet it was okay as this played into the whole 'predator and prey' theme. It is a VERY well acted movie and the plot is fantastic. The Predator character is fantastic as it is different than the original, yet still honors the original. It seemed almost more primitive in its technology than the original Predator, which is brilliant as it implies that their technology would also improve over 300 plus years. I have since read that there are plans to to a sequel, and even the credit animation implies this if you pay attention, which is pretty cool, to me. If you like he first movie, I think you will love this one!
