Review of Prey (2022) by Thedarkbird — 10 Aug 2022
The basic premesis of Predator is that it comes to earth to hone its skills against a challenging adversary. I am not sure how that translates to killing a - obviously - underequippped Comanche tribe.
Story quirks aside the acting isn't great and characters are seriously underdeveloped. Especially the French colonizer which is a bland caricature (this is especially clear when you actually speak or understand French). The least they could have done was hire actual French actors, but they clearly cut corners there.
The focus of the film is on the female protagonist, and at least that is more or less okay, but not great either. As to call this 'the first good Predator movie in 35 years' is quite the overstatement.
