That and her character's entire motivation coming from a place of spite instead of an honest desire dragged it right down. Also that bear had the Predator beaten. That was some bullshit.
No it didnt moron
That was part of the character development and what she learned from her mother/brother dude.
Are you morons illiterate? He didn’t say it didn’t make sense or wasn’t justified in her character, he said the artistic choice to make that her motivation instead of a different motivation dragged it down. You incels are the worst.
>he said the artistic choice to make that her motivation instead of a different motivation dragged it down
Except that wasn't her entire motivation at all. She starts out as a spiteful b***h, but she moves on from her hangups after going many failures and after her interactions with her brother and mother. For someone b***hing about illiteracy, you sure missed the part where that wasn't actually her "entire" motivation, especially when she very obviously develops away from it.
>you went to a forbidden area that the hunters don't go to
>you were asked, ordered, begged and even fought in our attempt to stop you
>your pettiness murdered your brother, the chief of the hunt, and every young brave in the tribe too
>you have condemned we remaining elders to a slow death as we can no longer support ourselves
>BUT, you did learn valuable lessons along the way about being true to yourself and what it means to be a REAL hunter, and that's what truly mattered
i've yet to see any webms of this so called qt
>qt
Not even the shills bothered to make any because she isn’t
could they seriously not even get the actress to throw an axe?
get mogged girl
>CG tree
>CG axe
>CG yautja
>CG bear
Fricking hell, why is everything so completely soulless?
not allowed to damage trees in movie productions anymore
Because Germany fricked up and failed mankind.
mmm I have my doubts you can do that with a flint hatchet wtihout breaking like at the third try
Any lateral movement would make it shatter, but dead straight on would be ok. It'd almost certainly break instantly though even on green wood.
Cinemaphile approved kino apparently.
How much overlap do you figure there is between prequelgays and preygays?
that's not a jump cut
Everything is done in front of a green screen now. That axe probably isn't real. The dog is definitely CGI. The actress couldn't even lose 20 pounds of her fat gut for the role. Welcome to modern cinema.
>showed the monster too early
Motherfricker this isn’t the first time you have seen a fricking predator
There’s no mystery here, you know what’s going on
It's always the first time for somebody, and to have him drop his heavy ass out of a spaceship and then just wander off was a shitty reveal.
so it wasnt your first time then? you're just imagining and seething over how it would appear to a first timer?
my gf had never seen any predator stuff before and she wasn't disappointed by the reveal you autist
homosexual there is no damn “reveal”. Listen to yourself, everyone knows what a predator is. Nobody gives a frick about some Amish guy meandering into the show, frick off with this stupid shit.
are you moronic
gives a frick about some Amish guy meandering into the show
I thought they were just doing blow and fricking like rabbits on rumpsringa, doubt the go and watch predator
If it's their first fricking time then maybe they should watch the actual original Predator movie then. You're literally asking for every single movie to be the fricking same. The MCU exists for that you stupid frick
first predator came out 35 years ago
plenty of young idiots for whom this is their first predator rodeo
Everyone knows what a predator is you homosexual
my gf didnt
dump that fat smelly sow
>implying they should make movies with dumbass women in mind
Might as well make a movie and consider what a dog wants out of it
They should watch the first one before watching this one. If some sequel came out of a movie I hadn't seen before I would watch the original first.
What if in the sequel she has to face down another kind of ayyylien predator?
Preyfu vs Ayyfu
back when Anya was good looking and not a meth addict skellington
uhh... Could you be any less obvious shill?
i can get paid to shitpost?
Are you saying that you shillpost for free? Even more embarrassing
>showed the monster too early
I hate autistic fricks that thing hiding the predator until the last third of the movie is necessary in EVERY goddamn predator movie. The whole fricking point of it in the first one was so that the reveal would be horrifying and cool. We all KNOW what the fricking predator looks like now. There's no need to do this shit.
I'm happy as frick that they dropped that shit early and I got to see it for most of the movie.
>muh autism for noticing bad filmmaking
>im seething over how this reveal would look to first timers!
>no I wasnt watching it for the first time
you're talking to two different posters, buddy
no im not
homie you prob account for half the posts in this thread lmao
no i dont
>dogs tail is shown wagging up in the air throughout the whole chase while it's running ahead of the deer for some reason
>somehow manages to get it caught in a bear trap seconds later
did it start walking backwards with the tail pressed to the ground off-screen?
I thought the fact that they weren't bold enough to kill the dog was a bit weak.
they had the tail get caught because they realized they couldn't have the dog save her life if its leg was broken
>Injuns never entered the iron age
It was a French fur trappers trap
[Artificially generated thread]
Ignore
>nativefu
looks half Black person to me, anyway Mary Sue character
Straight up she looks Mexican as frick, and it was even weirder because none of her family members or fellow villagers looked anything like her.
The brother looked pretty native minus the skin tone. You can tell they're starting to struggle to find actual young native actors these days though. All those "hunters" looked like skinny FTM trannies complete with puffy estrogen nips.
This, the hunters had zero muscle. They don’t need to be fricking bodybuilders but they didn’t even look like they were in good shape, just weird skinnyfat. And why even depict commanche before the introduction and widespread use of horses? That’s the only thing that made them rise to the top of plains warfare. She looks too much like that b***h from parks and rec, that took me out of it more than anything.
I hate that all her hair is fake
She has the same stiff body language and basically the same facial expression throughout the entire film.
thats fair and honest criticism. i had the same issues, let down by the second half.
omg guys I just saw this, my dick was hard all the time, superior alien masterrace was killing human cucks such as myself with such glory and prowess I was on verge of cumming all the time! I need more! PLS, let me suck alien wiener RIGHT NOW!!!!! shame human woman won at the end, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
she cute
>Comanche known for torturing and flaying their captives
>this included women and children
The parallel with the Predator is obvious, especially if the Pred in this film is a renegade who hunts for the thrill of the kill and cares nothing for honor.
The story should at least started with the perspective of White settlers. Some families get killed and strung up without their skin. The Settlers retaliate and wipe out the Comanche village, killing women and children indiscriminately. Then the remaining Comanche warriors and Whites hunt each other in the forest... and that's when the Predator is revealed. It picks off both sides until the last few stragglers team up to kill it. The final survivors are left standing there in the aftermath with nothing left but their fading satisfaction for killing this strange enemy.
I think this concept would fit better with the endings of Predator and Predator 2. I think a lot of people forget the lack of real triumph at end of the those films. At the very end. Arnold looks like a beaten man sitting in that chopper and so does Glover. Prey should end the same with the surviving killers wondering away to return to their dead families and loved ones.
>carries over the thematic trope in the first two films that the Predator is in some sense also a spiritual manifestation of the hostile environment
Of-course it'd still be an alien, but in terms of themes in this new film it would be a representation of the mutual violence and savagery of the two fighting sides. Even when they kill they are still left with the consequences which have ironically rendered the whole struggle empty and pointless in the long run.
Not enough empowerment. Needs a scene where female settler and Comanche have a girl boss moment and look into the camera to say "men ain't shit"
You can probably rewrite the scenario that way. After all, all the violence would be on the part of men (though in history Comanche women and children did participate in the torture of captives). Thus peace is achieved when women assert their dominance and wisdom or dumb violent men. Men suck. There are two predators and one is female and she helps all the women and kills her male partner at the end.
This. This is good.
Also, on the flip side of that scenario, meanwhile the Injuns think the Wendigo is out there skinning and eating them.
I totally thought they were going to atleast MENTION the name Wendigo once. It's like they went out of their way to make this predator look exactly like one.
Misses opportunity imo.
I have a solution to satisfy both the autistic "muh reveal" audience, and the "I just came for the badass predator" audience.
Market the movie as a Wendigo movie. We, the audience, thinks of this creature from the perspective of the natives. We have no idea what it is... until towards the middle of the film we hear that iconic clicking rattle.... then boom. Syke, Black person. It's a Predator movie.
Frankly they could just do a whole series of movies based on paranormal earth stuff and use the Alien universe to explain them. Chupacabra: The time a hybrid xenomorph escaped captivity and went to earth. The first movie 100% from the perspective of an Elite Predator sent on a deadly solo mission to earth, but this time, not to kill humans. To unknowingly save them from the Engineers.
>Also, on the flip side of that scenario, meanwhile the Injuns think the Wendigo is out there skinning and eating them.
Exactly. You'd have hints in the first part of the film that the Predator is there, but it'd be subtle.
>Market the movie as a Wendigo movie. We, the audience, thinks of this creature from the perspective of the natives. We have no idea what it is... until towards the middle of the film we hear that iconic clicking rattle.... then boom. Syke, Black person. It's a Predator movie.
This would have been fantastic and is absolutely what they should have done. Years ago I showed a family member Predator and I started the movie when she was out of the room, skipping that clip of the UFO landing. All I told her was "this movie isn't what you think it is", so the first 30 minutes is an action movie and then the surprise kicks into full gear.
You just wrote a much better movie, anon.
Cooler idea here than what the movie had. It's an acceptable predator movie but could've been much better.
why did the predator shoot its metal arrows if it knew it wasn't wearing the helmet and that it would just be pointing in some random direction? Does it not know how it's own equipment works?
This is what got me.
I just assumed he had it set to manual aim or something... apparently he did too? Someone said "he had brain damage from just being shot point blank in the back of the head" ...eh. I guess?
We're almost through this.
I think it had some cool moments, it doesn't matter if it's woke or not. It could have been all white, all black, or all yellow. It showed me something new, something I usually don't see it Predator movies.
Nah it's good. Easily one of the best Predator sequels, especially compared to the last two. You screencapping your own post won't ever change that.
Premise alone makes it better than either of the last two sequels.
Stage 3: Bargaining
Stage 1: Denial
>Denial
The only ones in denial are the ones who can't seem to accept that some people might have actually enjoyed the movie. More than anything, I'm happy this has sparked some discussion, enough for anons to even check out old works of Alien/Predator whether it's from the comics, novels or vidya. Finally, I don't see my opinions for the movie changing in the near future.
Stage 3: Bargaining
Bargaining what? Nothing in your silly post about "grief" remotely applies. I still think it's a great Predator movie. If Predator ever gets brought up in a thread, I'll repeat that sentiment all the same.
>PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND SOME PEOPLE ARE (moronic enough) TO ENJOY THIS MOVIE! THIS RESTORES THE FRANCHISE! I WILL FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY IN THE FUTURE AS I DO NOW!
Bargaining (aka Cope).
Sperging out in greentext isn't helping your case buddy.
anyway this movie was ass and im killing the next troony I see
Too much of a Mary Sue.. or should I say...
Jokes aside, I don't agree. She was borderline incompetent for much of the film and would've been killed easily without so much canon fodder around her.
she seemed to mr.magoo herself out of harms way at times, yes.
Remember when a middle aged fat cop killed a Predator 1 vs 1?
THATS RIGHT butthole, SHIT HAPPENS
He would have died if busey didn't save him
And Prey chick was saved like 20 times through the movie.

TLDR
The mud in predator 1987 could never hide Arnold from the predator.
Mud doesn't work like that. :
Predator mud is ridiculous and fantasy
The heat vision in Predator 1 wouldn't never fricking worked regardless, considering body temps are maintained at 97-99 degrees F and the air temperatures in Palenque are regularly over 100 degrees during summer months, which would've made them so fricking hard to see the Predator would've nearly been heat blind.
Thank you. I will save your post dear friend
Remember when the Predator in that movie got it's arm cut off and didn't just do a (shoddily edited) self-own like what happened in Prey?
I remember when that Predator b***hed out and nearly blew itself up while calmly hanging at the edge of a building.
He used Predator tech. He feigned injury, exhaustion and when the Pred went in for the kill he used the Preds magic saw. Prey, dumbest movie of all time saw An 80lbs woman fightingfist to fist with a Pred. Your movie is stupid. Anyone who likes it is a dumbass!
He was in great shape
Good movie actually. Had an awesome setting. Only thing that would have made it better would be if they showed more of the french settlements.
I agree. It reminded me too much of Predator 2 with how the CIA already knew about the Predator long enough to have been tracking it down. Same deal with the Frenchmen in this movie.
It was alright. Better than The Predator at least.
Amber Midthunder more like Amber TopQT
The movie was too focused on the main actress and her spiteful attitude. So focused that Predator could be removed and replaced with a bear or lion.
The setting had the trappings of being in frontier America, but with spotless costumes and the English speaking cast, this movie could have sent in modern day with a group of college kids on a camping trip.
This movie was pretentious. It was cheap movie about a brat with childish dream being gratified at the cost of the lives of her brother and tribe mates.
Captcha DAM44T
>So focused that Predator could be removed and replaced with a bear or lion.
Checked and by God you're right.
Watched action clips on youtube. Looks cool but how come whenever there is fighting people fly like videogame ragdolls and fall like it's jupiter? Not cool.
cute!
Anyone else find the dog retrieving the hatchet in the middle of the final fight unintentionally hilarious?
>watch current thing
So I caved in and downloaded this.
Wokeness aside, it's an okay action flick, 6/10.
Should have showed her nude, drying the wet clothes. I doubt she has a great body, though.
>Predator movies are seen through the eyes of the humans
>Prey movie is also seen through the eyes of the humans
humongous frick-up
The only way to do a compelling Predator movie from the Predator's POV would be to set in the future of the Aliens universe like the games. Have the Predator evading a platoon of Colonial Marines armed with advanced sighting systems, SMART Guns, and other such weaponry.
I would like to see a movie about the first Predators to discover Earth and decide that it's a suitable hunting ground.
Ice age or something might be neat. Or go even further back and have Predators hunting dinosaurs. How do you make a story out of that though? A Predator POV needs the Predator under threat and really challenged.
Jesus vs Predator
The pred should have been and remained more visibly fricked up from his earlier fights to make it a little more plausible Naru could hold her own at the end, like the bear could have torn off a mandible and the trap could have made him limp and not able to leap across the trees so well. Then Naru killing him would echo her brother finishing off the lion she'd weakened
My biggest issue is that it's clearly inspired by The Revenant but doesn't come close to capturing the look of that film nor the intensity of its action sequences. Just comes across as a cheap ripoff with a Predator in it.
I say this as someone who liked Prey more than The Revenant btw.
the monster too early
It's not 1987 any more, though.
Why did Americans kill them?
Does this movie have the actual Predator from "Predator"? I thought Prey was some video game about a native American?
Yes it's an actual predator.
and yes Prey (2006) is about a native american traveling to alien planets. Didn't make that connection until now.
it's a pseudo predator in that it looks almost nothing like a predator nor behaves like one
>cgi bear looked like shit
>didn't need most of the first act
>axe-leash was stupid
We all knew it was a Predator. There was no surprise. Predator ahould have showed up and started in on thw nativea durinf the lion fight. Otherwise it was decent.
We all knew
Should have been this:
Part of me does wonder if this is a repurposed script that was originally about a wendigo or something similar
predictable trash.

only good thing about this movie is i wanna cum on Amber Midthunders fricking face.
thanks for reading my review homosexuals.
>No respirator mask

are they removing all the old lore?
you think they give a shit about lore anymore? this is a college tier movie
to noones suprise this fat star trek obsessed moron and his basedboy costar loved the movie. THEY MADE FUN OF YOU CHUDS FOR POINTING OUT ANY AGENDA IN THE MOVIE HAHA CHUDS HAHA
>t. prequelgay attempting to work through cognitive dissonance
oh did i offend you? did i insult the guys you pretend are your friends? cry about it homosexual.
>prequelgay still seething over a decade since a video dropped
>DID I OFFEND YOU?!
Kek. Those guys are gays. The prequels did suck though.
nice assumptions wienermuncher. i hate star wars its all slocks prequels or not. i hate star trek any space pew pew lasers is for children. if you like it as a grown man, get a mental health check. youre literally the same as that gay that cried when he saw the trailer.
>REEEEEEE
Prequels suck. Cope.
Did they mentioned the inconsistencies with the first movies?
Is incredible how autistic they are when is about Star Trek but when another franchise makes the same mistakes they laugh and yell nerd. Dunno, It's been years since I paid attention them, not gonna start again
they fell off very hard, its inevitable you become more popular and you start liking the smell of your own farts. its literal aids trying to watch any of their recent videos. what a shame.
also to answer your question, idk couldnt watch more than 5 mins of their shit.
t. Picard fans.
I wish the woke stuff wasn't the main topic of conversation with this one because I want to discuss the flaws it has without people reeeing about me being a chud.
The main actress is so fricking hot/cute it hurts me. I want her so bad bros, I am dying
>In space
>no one can hear you simp
I too thought it was good, my only real gripe is that the predator died like a fricking moron
Like wtf Black folk are smarter than humans but they really just look at their own lasers fully knowing what will happen and just accept it? But other than that it was pretty good i think
>really just look at their own lasers fully knowing what will happen and just accept it?
That was the worst part but the predator acted like a total moron throughout the whole movie too. Like, he walked straight into this bear trap even though he was specifically shown what it was earlier. The dumb predator ruins the movie more than the lame girl power subplot
This Predator sucked both in face design and his behavior. Was like Jason in a pred costume. Dumbass was getting injured in every altercation and got styled on by the brother Indian.
The movie was not very good but the female protag was not why it sucked... it was just a shitty movie.
>average looking brown chick
>makes Cinemaphile go wild for a week
She's not even that attractive
it was fine, it was just a bit boring. interesting setting, qt actress but just dull
>WHITE MAN BAD
>BROWN WOMAN GOOD
Western media in 2022 is literal brain poison
Will the directors cutbhave a 20 minute scene where the French trappers rape her and her brother. Full nude. Predator watches from the shadows.
>YAS KWEEN SLAY
>WHITE MEN BAD
>shitty CGI
>shitty action
>shitty LE REFERENCES XD
>shitty Predator design
>shitty cinematography (tbf most modern movies are guilty of this)
>unironically made Predator 2 and Predators even better movies by comparison
I was dreading my watch of it based on STRONK POC lead and Cinemaphile bellyaching but Prey is like a 6/10. Good pacing, the brother was a chad, bear fight was cool. woke shit was at a minimum. Third best Preadtor film behind the first two and slightly ahead of Preadtors mostly due to Prey's snappier pacing.
Careful. The schizophrenia buttholes will call you a troony shill for daring to like this movie
