Review of Prey (2022) by Gazmc — 05 Aug 2022

Much better than The Predator (2018) thankfully, but let down by the final act. I liked the cast, the setting and the story in itself, it was a very decent vehicle for a Predator film. Sadly, the Predator itself was the biggest issue.

Losing the final battle is always to be expected, but the closing 30 minutes is an assassination of what the Predator is supposed to be. A supreme hunter making stupid decisions, losing badly in what is essentially hand to hand combat with two seperate humans before being killed in similarly silly fashion.

It's not a bad movie in itself, it's just not a particularly good Predator one.
