Naru notices a skinned snake and prints that do not belong to a known entity. Their bond adds to our worries once the real danger appears. They have an easygoing sibling relationship that Midthunder and Beavers create almost immediately in their first scenes. While on the hunt to find a lion that’s been prowling about, Taabe barely tolerates Naru tagging along. Perhaps it might have something to do with that blazing streak of fire she saw in the sky earlier. Naru is the one who first notices that there’s a new creature on their land. She’s twice as tough as she looks, and three times more observant than the others. Naru is teased by the guys, who state that hunting is men’s work, but we learn she can hold her own in a fight. This gives the creature a kindred spirit of sorts in Naru ( Amber Midthunder), a young warrior who wishes to hunt like the males in her tribe, including her brother, Taabe ( Dakota Beavers). The Predator’s modus operandi is the same, however: it is a hunter and it’s looking for trophies of prey. This one is fitted with slightly retro versions of the weapons wielded by the late actor Kevin Peter Hall in the first film. “Prey” bills itself as an origin story of the first Predator alien to appear on Earth. Plus, this deserves a theatrical release.īut I digress. This is not to say that streaming services are bad, just that I always feel itchy recommending movies you need a contract to see. I just thought this movie had more up its sleeve than it was showing me.Was it because director Dan Trachtenberg’s sci-fi actioner didn’t have any major stars (besides the Predator, of course)? Was it because the screenplay by Patrick Aison takes place in 1719, making this a period piece? Or was it due to the fact that the protagonist is a woman and her kin are Native Americans, both of which buck the trend for movies like this? Considering the recent cancellations of films scheduled for upcoming release, I suppose I should be thankful that “Prey” can be seen anywhere, including on services to which I do not subscribe. I like to see elements of classic old genres (like the classic monster movies of the 50's and 60's) brought to life in modern day CGI. I would have liked to see more of his character. All of his funny moments, except for the scene after some of the credits, saturated the coming attractions and commercials. Finally they made a big deal about Stephen Colbert playing the President, and there wasn't enough of him. Kiefer Sutherland was surprisingly good as the General. Having some great comedic potential in the characters voiced by Hugh Laurie, and Will Arnett take a back seat ride. They're much more interesting and only get a small handful of moments to shine throughout the picture. Focusing more on the three other monsters would have made this a better movie. So the plot follows the same course from there, feels pretty routine. The victim of an unfortunate mishap leading her down a path she would rather not go down. Susan is someone we've all seen in movies before. The story revolves around the gigantic Susan (Reese Witherspoon) while pushing all the more interesting characters out of the spotlight. They have a couple of moments specifically designed around flexing the 3d capabilities, but again nothing mind-blowing. So there's not too much left to offer by buying a ticket. Aliens has some really funny moments, but by the time you get to see them on the big screen you've already seen them plenty of times on the small one.
