- Prey
“Prey” brings a breath of fresh air to the Predator franchise, offering a captivating story set in the untamed wilderness of eighteenth-century British Columbia. The film excels in various aspects, starting with its strong storyline that avoids the pitfalls of previous Predator movies. It successfully captures the sense of fear, excitement and belonging that the franchise has been missing since its original installment.
The pacing is a bit slow, and the build-up takes longer than desired. Also, the CGI used for the animals feels rushed and lacks realism. But it still offers a great story that allows the main character to grow, showcasing their intentions and drive. Fans of the Predator series and newcomers alike will find themselves engaged and entertained throughout the film.
