Review of Prey (2022) by Jluis_001 — 06 Aug 2022

This is how you reinvent a franchise, without entirely breaking out of the mold, but looking to explore other narrative variants.

Not everything works, that was to be expected, but I definitely found it much better than the terribly disappointing 2018 movie and the middling 2010 installment.

We also have to be honest, mostly those who call it the best installment in the franchise since the original. It's not like Prey had a mountain to climb to top that. The one thing I find really problematic for the Predator mythos is that basically anyone can kill them.

I mean with all its technology and brute strength, you have a young Comanche girl with arrows, spears and a 17th century weapon to defeat it, that doesn't look good for your villain. I was entertained enough and that's all that counts considering I had no expectations before I started watching it. Needless to say, it's worth a look.
