PreyMovie Review by TheJonathanSim: Another Middling Predator Sequel
Click, click, click. Bright green blood. Three red dots, and you’re dead. This pattern is synonymous with thefranchise that kicked off with an Arnold Schwarzenegger action vehicle in 1987. Three sequels and two crossovers with the. This science fiction action film throws us back to the Comanche Nation in 1719, where a young warrior named Naru must protect her tribe from an otherworldly creature.
Setting this movie in the eighteenth century allows for a new type of action film. The characters don’t have modern weapons, relying on bows and arrows and muskets rather than your typical machine gun. This atmospheric film brings the series back to basics with a thriller set in the wilderness as the characters fight to survive.
Parts of the film work very well — namely, the film’s final half-hour, which features some of the most gripping Predator action yet. Some excellent ideas near the end of the movie stop the film from being a total waste of time, but the first hour holdsback. The movie lacks the riveting suspense and gory violence of John McTiernan’s original film, going down a more conventional route for the first two acts.
Our protagonist is Naru, a character who wants to hunt so that she can prove herself. Her arc is what you would expect, but it never feels emotionally satisfying due to its simplicity. Her motivation is never as strong as it could be, but the movie succeeds with a few brutal kills and a standout slaughter sequence. The film relies more on bloody carnage than quiet suspense, with a story low in substance and featuring a lack of exciting ideas that expand on the mythology of theseries.
