Prey brings the Predator series back to basics, focuses on story and character, and delivers a completely satisfying action movie. Beautifully shot, Prey is a joy to watch, keeping you on the edge of your seat and making you squirm just enough to keep you from getting complacent. All in all Prey is a great time.
Amber Midthunder has incredible star potential. She captivates the screen and grounds the story in her character's lived experience. I do hope we get to see her do more in the future.
I understand the film went to great lengths for historical accuracy. I also understand there had a questionable advisor who may have skewed some of that accuracy. It's too bad too because this film generally does such a good job of setting its fantastic story in a very real world. To lose some of that is a real shame.
But overall Prey succeeds by telling a strong story, building fascinating mythology, and introducing us to characters that we want to see more of. Here's hoping there is a great deal of life left in this series.
