Prey is the newest entry into the Predator universe, and it takes us back to the 1700s.
Now now, almost all of the franchises from the 70s and 80s (mostly action ones) are getting newer entries every few years. These entries serve the studios directly, so they don’t lose the right to make movies with these characters and in their respective universes. No harm done there, but harm is done when the outright bring back dead characters, break or invent new rules, and overall are just or sometimes below passable.
Prey is one of the few exceptions to this rule, it easily beats all of the sequels and for me specifically, it’s even better than the original. Don’t know how, but they actually made a good Predator film while staying true to what aspects made him a force of nature, but that are undoubtedly conquerable and beatable.
Design wise the Predator has an interesting look this time around and with the movie being set in the past, it seems like he is as well. He does what he does best, stalking his pray, studying their patterns and ultimately going in for a (stylish) kill.
In this film we follow a tribal village in North America who are going about their everyday life when a sudden object enters the atmosphere. That ‘object’ is here to challenge stronger and stronger foes to prove who is the strongest. Now the characters need to find a way to stop him, but still leave with their lives, and at least, some of their limbs. In addition to all of the well written characters and their designs, nothing beats the absolute breathtaking atmosphere induced by beautiful cinematography and brilliant sound design. This movie was an absolute treat after so many bad Predator films and now hopefully Alien can get the same treatment.
