I've never seen a predator survive a trip to earth on film so I question how good they actually are at hunting

One thing they need to change if they do another movie similar to this one is give the predator a W and show the process and honor they go thru when returning from a successful hunt. That would be awesome

I loved the bear scene, it really sold the power of the Predators punching strength.

Fun fact: I love how the predator uses his spear weapon and metal arrow gun. That was also in AVP - Primal Hunt. Good stuff, he even takes his arrows back, just like you do in the video game!

I liked how the Predator wasnt decked out with crazy ass weapons. It seamed like it was a young predator learning how to hunt. The wolf fight and the bear fight was really cool.

I really want a film where the Predator wins. That would be a shocking ending.

The predator series was never about being able to "fight" the predator. Humans can't win 1 on 1 in a fair fight. It has always been about using our smarts to outwit brute strength and tech beyond what we had. It made perfect sense she could win given what was shown that she knew and how observant of her surroundings and what was done she was.

I think what really worked is that it was a fairly quiet movie with the dialog, I mean we follow her around and watch her do things without saying a lot. It helped set the tone.

You guys literally took the words out of my mouth. Assassin's Creed styled Predator trilogy. A movie set in Japan. Call it 'The Oni'. Make it happen - make it happen now.

Still don’t think 2010 predators gets enough of love. This movie was really surprisingly good. Hopefully that continues.

I'd love to see a Predator movie take place during WW2 or even WW1.

I like that the actress played a nuanced version of “tough”, and didn’t just snarl and flex like Gina Carano or Michelle Rodriguez would’ve done to portray “toughness”. Her performance showed she was relying on her intellect and instincts, not just trying to feign brute strength.

I liked the bond between the siblings. Taabe picked on Naru, but he always had her back. He would reassure her when he sees her conflicted.

Let's be real, no human could 1v1 a predator and this includes Arnold. What has always been the deciding factor is the wit of the human involved and I can't wait to watch it tonight.

It has a version dubbed in the language of the Comanche. This country is long overdue for even the slightest of gestures of tribute to Native American culture. The casting, the acting, the cinematography. This movie way over delivered and was a beautiful gesture to the Native American legacy of this place. 8.5/10 for me. Watched it twice already.

I would love to see a Predator film that takes place in either Feudal Japan, sometime during the Viking era, or during WW2. I would most love to see WW2 just because then the Predator would truly have no limits to who it can kill since almost everyone it sees would be prey. They could even do something where instead of sending one Predator, they send like 3 that all hunt in different areas of the world during the war.

I’ve never understood why people refer to Predator 2 as a guilty pleasure. I’ve never felt guilty about liking it; in fact, I think it’s a bloody good time throughout. And If you’ve ever read any of the Predator Dark Horse comics, it actually is very stylistically and tonally similar.

Love how the predator started off with lvl 1 mobs, then went bigger, and bigger, and of course kept winning. And how the main character kept loosing and loosing.

I like how they made this predator seem young and inexperienced. He was like going through his own passage of right and thought he could just overpower his “Prey”

I didn't think the whole "you're a girl, so you can't hunt" was brought up that much. It was literally the scene before they were hunting the cat, and the scene after. It's kind of sad that's the lense we see the world now, woke bullshit whether or not it's there. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and didn't think about the woke bs until you guys brought it up.

What as soon as I here Alex say "I was entertained the entire way through" I knew I have to check this out

- Hey, finally, here's a good movie from a beloved franchise, how many theaters are we gonna put this in? - Execs: nah...

Really loved the set ups and Payoffs for this film. her not listening to her brothers story about a wet bow string and her bow string against the bear, The orange flower, Quicksand, the lazer tracking, the shield arm. also love the parallels of her wounding the mountain lion and the brother bringing it home, with him wounding the predator and her bringing it home. great stuff

A message to most normies. You see. Predator can kill buff seasoned mercenaries. Yet a strong independent little wamen goes super saiyan against predator 1vs1. Even arnold struggled and used his traps to win, and he’s much stronger and more well trained than some little girl

Having predators show up in different time periods is something i've always wanted to see on the big screen. Im sure the comics have done but don't know if its canon? Broo Ancient Egypt , Feudal Japan , And maybe even The Golden Age Of Piracy ! they have a lot to work with. And maybe even a Predator film where we see them in their planets and see them train , make their Gadgets , commune with one another ?

A Predator set in feudal Japan sounds incredible. I’d also like to see one set in the Middle Ages or the Viking age: imagine a Northman berserker against a predator.

An authentic actress playing her role in a sci-fi film. Truly remarkable!

I honestly REALLY liked this movie!! Hell, I consider it to be the best of the Predator Sequels behind the original of course!! (And before you start commenting, yes this is more of a prequel than a sequel, but I still stand that it's the best out of the Predator sequels! Lol)

I start the video and Joe is not screaming? Now I'm confused... and you got my attention :)

Didn't know this film existed. So I'm sure I'm not alone in this. So now it's kinda sad that the best Predator movie in ages will likely be overlooked.

The technology being “primitive” for the predator isn’t because they arn’t at the same technology as in the original predator or predators, it’s because this predator is young and inexperienced so he starts with the weakest weapons to prove themselves also hence the primitive looking helmet because they have to earn the stronger equipment. Hence why the predators in AVP on the Aztec temple fighting the Aliens were outfitted with plasma cannons and advanced gear.

The thing that bothered me about how the predator died is why would it use its bolt tracker thing when it didn’t have its mask on and couldn’t properly target? It was like the main character had a better understanding of the predator’s technology than it did

yeah no.... sorry, but no. I just finished watching this movie and it is absolutely stupid. spoilers ahead. Don't get me wrong, it looks kinda good but for a gory movie it really doesn't show much of it, lots of cuts from the violence so that's a bit of a let down. The bigger issue is the plot, it just doesn't make any fucking sense. The predator in this movie must be the dumbest living being in the universe, he is not even a hunter in this movie, he is more like a stupid brawler looking for fights, letting every animal he fights wound him, by the end of the movie he is so wounded by bullets, spears, arrows and such that it's a miracle he can even move. In the end, he gets killed by his own gear, as if he doesn't know those bolts will fly to where the laser is pointed at. all he had to do was literally duck or maybe i dunno, not use laser guided bolts for a target that is 2 feet away, his aim can't be that bad. Also it's really pressing my suspension of disbelief when a 50kg girl goes toe to toe with the fucking predator, a huge tall heavy monster that can bench press a fucking grizzly bear. Yeah she's quick, lets say that matters but he had her in his hand, that's game over right there. When humans go toe to toe against predators, it doesn't end well for them, no matter who they are, period. This movie looks fine, but it's stupid as shit, definitely not 8\10, 5\10 at best.

I'm so glad this movie is getting good reviews

I loved this movie so much. The action and gore was awesome. Way more violence than I was expecting. I want to see an entire movie dedicated to the Predator killing French trappers. My only gripe was that it felt a bit rushed. I haven’t seen any valid criticism for this movie. 99% of the criticism I see is people crying that there’s a Native American woman as the main character. In my opinion, she was very believable. I truly believed that she could outsmart the Predator. I loved this movie and it made me go watch the OG Predator for the first time, so I’d say it was successful.

I hope they make one around the Astic/Incas Era specifically around the Amazon Rainforest. Would be great to see the Predator back where it all started

I'm hoping that the positive feedback this film is getting will help it get a theatrical release later on. It definitely deserves to be seen by more than just Hulu peeps.

Let it be known that this is, I believe, the first film to ever have an entire Comanche version released alongside the standard version. I've never seen a "Comanche Dub" for any other film.

the way they pay respects to the old school predator is what got me =D cool scenes of animals vs wild and predator vs wild. So for me its 9/10

I totally agree with Joe. I would put this alongside Predator 2, which I also really liked. They are different enough, that I think they can tie for the number two spot. This gives me hope that the franchise is heading in a better direction now.

These guys must be drunk or on drugs talking through the whole movie

Prey was the perfect title for this film. They established early on that the Predator only hunts other predators, he never saw her as a threat. Well done flick.

I was thinking the whole way through this movie, why isn't it in theaters? It was really good I'd buy it

This movie was AWESOME! I renewed my Disney+ subscription just to see it and I absolutely loved it. One of my favourite movies ever.

I was so hype for the predator in 2018, I didn't realize I was really just waiting for prey.

This was a 6 at best. The ending was dumb. The line that the predator wont see her either and that makes her more dangerous than anything made it stupid.

Humans : 4 Predictors : 0

Hey guys from a year ago... Prey is officially on 4k blu ray, and it is glorious!

The fight between the main characters brother Taabe I believe his name is, was absolutely badass, dude was holding it down, the choreography was great for this entire film. A primal take on predator, film locations were grest, predator had it's weapons more period correct and not over the top futuristic, really nice attention to detail on a lot of aspects of the film. A little hiccups as all movies have, but this was a definite gem an a must watch for predator fans.

It was so damn good, and as a huge fan of the originals I was predisposition to not like this and it won me over instantly.

Naru didn't train to become a warrior. She trained to become a hunter. Her life long dream. She was forced into the role as a warrior.

I love how she wasn’t Mary Sue at all. She lost A LOT, got her ass handed to her and there was good progression. As for ideas: 1) Samurai vs Predator 2) Vikings vs Predator 3) WWII Predator 4) Predator vs Dinosaurs from the Predators perspective We don’t need a Middle Ages one… there’s already a fantastic fan film about that on KZfaq

10 Cloverfield Lane made a very good impression. Reading that Prey is directed by the same person, convinced me instantly to give Prey a watch. I'll be back to this video after i have seen Prey myself.

I would love to see a continuation to Predators. They left that movie off on sort of a cliff hanger, and I think there's so much that can still be done with that material.

The next movie in the franchise: "Predator Home Alone" is confirmed!

why is no one talking about how this movie is literally the definition of plot armor, especially the scene when all the hunters were shooting at the predator, and they were all somehow hitting his shield

I was praying for the dog too. Entertaining and solid Predator movie. Predators hunting in different eras of History is a great concept if well done.

I like how they named this movie "Prey" opposed to "Predator" (and without going into spoilers, the name is actually quite clever) and they managed to add some homages to both, the original movie and Predator 2. It has some of the best Predator action, pretty good effects and in my opinion is something that Predator fans wanted all along for a long time.

Just finished watching it, great setting and plot for the predator movie and nanda I think is her name whoever she was nailed it imo it exceeded my expectations by far that bear scene was amazing

This movie was fucking dope and actually made the predator terrifying again and it’s not just about the gore, this movie set up the perfect ATMOSPHERE that made the predator terrifying, the suspense, the build-up and the TENSION were AWESOME. So when the action started it was actually scary and not just “oh look blood gore shock value that’s scary right?, no” the atmosphere tension and build up coupled WITH the gore made the predator scary again

I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that my optimism towards this movie was well-founded. As much as we all enjoy you guys tearing a stinker of a movie apart, it also great to hear some positive reiviews every now and then. I'll be watching this as soon as I can. I'm hoping this opens the doors for future Predator films in other time periods.

She used the flowers to lower her body heat but the Predator can still see the person, why did it just walk past her when he can clearly see that she’s standing up.

For anyone on the ropes about watching this movie go ahead. The whole you can't cause your girl agenda isn't as heavy as people are making it out to be, she does have faults that make her brother at first think she's not ready but she proves herself through the movie and the brothers support helps her get there.

Can't believe this didn't get a theatrical release. The last one that made it to theaters was garbage and Prey was way better and deserved to be in theaters.

I came out incredibly shocked after seeing this movie. Stayed very close to the original two films, had a very engaging story, and didn't hold back on the Predator action we love. If the franchise continues like this, we're (hopefully) in good territory.

I personally despised tf out of this movie more than the others. The first part of was just painting native men as arrogant misogynistic douche bags excessively. Home girl leads them all to death just so she can prove her girl power. Once predator showed up It was decent. The last fight made me feel like I watching a home alone movie. She turned into Ezio and the predator lost all of his brain cells. I guess that flintok ball bearing in his skull was a defining factor of the fight..

Tbh I think the whole “gender roles” thing was handled well in this movie. Hunting a hunter is not a fun job, it’s dangerous with a high death toll and I think the scene with her mom after the Lion hunt trying to at least justify a logic to it more than “it’s a man’s job.” Especially with the ending. People not believing a main character just make it more of an underdog story and makes the character more interesting and sympathetic than if they were just given everything, imo.

Her name is Amber Midthunder?!!? FUCK YEA!!!!

The trailers did it no justice, finally the memory of "The Predator" can be erased and Finally someone in Holywood worked out how to make a heroine like the old days without it being cringe. So glad Prey is doing well and this franchise can get back on track. More period piece Predator movies need to happen.

On god I am hoping for a Predator vs samurai movie. I always thought that having the Predators show up in different time periods would be amazing.

There was a case in the comics where a human woman was accepted into the tribe. Would love to see a movie like that, explore their culture. I forget which comic line it was but it was a Dark Horse run. It wasn't Deadliest of the Species.

I saw that one of the scripts that got shot down for Prey, was a Predator vs Pirates. But the studio deemed it would have cost too much. With the success of Prey, I'm hoping they change their mind. But I'm not sure how it would be in such a confined space of a ship. That would be like a 7-minute slaughter on the high seas. I'm thinking it would be much better, if most of the action happened on a pirate island. A Captain obsessed with his treasure, thinking someone (the predator) is killing off his men to steal his plunder. But the predator saw the action of the pirates stealing it, and deemed them worthy of the hunt, when they get to the island to stash it. Then... Prey 2 happens.

I'll be honest at one point i thought they were going to have the predator and the girl team up toward the end but the way they ended it was really fucking satisfying

The music is done by Sarah Schrachen who did AC Valhalla, and it feels a lot like when Eivor goes to the New World in the game. Also, a lot of the immersion seems to come from video game style camera positioning. I would love to see them to do something with Samurais or something given that is where AC franchise is going to next.

You'd think the predator would a have mode on his arrow gun that didn't require his mask for the exact reasons we saw in the film.

I didn't like the whole plot line with Naru trying to prove herself. It was done really poorly in my opinion. Throughout the movie she's constantly frustrated that no one believes in her, yet she doesn't do anything that proves she deserves recognition. When they ask her "Why do you want to hunt?" she answers "Because none of you think I can". That's actually the dumbest reason possible. What she should have answered is "Because I want to do great things and contribute to our tribe". Of course they think you can't hunt, because you can't! You can't build a proper bow, you constantly miss your targets, you failed at sneaking up on a bear cause you made noise, you are constantly saved by others, they say you're good at tracking but it's actually just the dog doing all the work for you. She failed to kill the lion and fell out of the tree and knocked out, so her brother had to carry her all the way back to camp and go kill the lion himself. When her brother arrives with the dead lion, everyone cheers him on for his amazing achievement, but all Naru does is mope because she's not getting any attention. How dumb. The only reason she managed to kill the Predator at the end is because everyone else already injured it multiple times while she simply ran away and by the time she faced off with the Predator it was already significantly weaker. Let's compare this to a little animated film called Tarzan. The chief of the gorillas, Kerchak, and others don't believe in Tarzan. When the leopard attacks, Tarzan fights it and protects Kerchak, he demonstrates his skills, and he kills the leopard himself, proving that he is capable and that he is one of them. Then there is the triumphant scene where Tarzan lifts the leopard in the air and displays it to his people with a war cry. This whole sequence shows that Tarzan is strong, capable, and is one with the gorillas, and the gorillas were wrong about him. Something similar should have been done in Prey. By the end of the film everyone else is dead and Naru just shows up with the head of a monster no one has ever seen before. Wouldn't they have some questions? Nope, just make her war chief I guess.

I would love to see a predator movie where he wins.

This was mostly good...until the ending. Absolute stupidity and lack of logic that the Predator doesn't know how his own technology works. Even after he saw it earlier in the movie.

When predator got back up from getting hit by the bar. All I could hear was Randy from South Park “I didn’t hear no bell”

25:44 I dunno if Joe realizes, but the movie was shot fully in commache as well as English. So yes its in English to make it easier for most people, but they have it fully in the native language which is super cool

This film is getting a lot of positive feedback. It's just kinda bad we assumed it would be terrible because our impressions on the franchise are so tarnished.

Wow 8/10 is solid. I’m so pumped to see this. I honestly haven’t heard any KZfaq reviewer who hasn’t liked it yet. That is saying something.

Please just once I want a Predator movie where the Predator won!!!

This film deserves much more love.

One thing I don’t see mentioned with predator movies is that these predators are all unique beings coming to earth to prove themselves/train. So like a soldier, some will be more confident some more dependent on tech . Each predator could have different motives and experience level at the time of interaction with a human

An intergalactic warrior losing to a little girl with makeshift spear?🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

a shame this didn't get a theatrical release

Just watch it. Might be the most BADASS Predator in the movie series 🔥🔥🔥 so many kills and action once it goes in.

Hey! I was one of the animators on this movie. I’ve been watching angry joe for a while but its really cool to see him review something we worked really hard on. Thanks for watching, and glad you all liked it!

Amber Midthunder was amazing in "Legion" (a great show btw), will definitively check this one out.

Only thing I could think of when they did the orange flower hiding their heat signature is Young Guns when they get high af and think they are in the Spirit World “ We’re in the Spirt World asshole they can’t see us” 😂🤣

She couldn't take out the Deer the rabbit or the lion...but took out the Predator STOP IT! LMAO

I really enjoyed this movie. I would love to see a Predator sequel take place in Japan during age of the samurai.

Nothing will ever beat the bridge scene with billy in the first predator. Went out like a G. That one scene has burned an image in me since I was 13.

call me childish but I want to see the predator vs a lion vs a gorilla vs samurai warriors vs vikings vs pirates vs both german and english soldiers in WW1 or WW2 who have to work together but especially vs samoan warriors - I want to see these guys doing the haka and the predator actually being impressed

Seeing the near universal praise for this movie only confirms my descent into madness is nearing completion.

It felt nice to have a movie that wasn’t trying to set up 18 sequels. Just a 90 minute gorefest. It almost felt like I was watching something before avengers came out! I love that movie but damn movies haven’t been the same since.

HOLY SHIT I just got Hulu to watch this movie and it was WAY better than I was thinking it was going to be. They even have it in COMANCHE LANGUAGE!!

I can't turn my brain off anymore.

I’m sorry but Joe your movie reviews are absolutely shocking. I don’t even know what to say anymore. 8/10 for this poorly written, mediocre Mary Sue garbage. Stick to game reviews because it seems you’d give anything a high rating nowadays. This is Disney crap with the same old formula. EXACTLY the same as Halloween Kills, gory kill scenes with poor writing and plot all around it.
