Well deserved
Good for them, I loved this flick.
I continue to prey for a physical copy.
They absolutely deserved it.
Well deserved, absolutely amazing work.
"TV movie" reminds me of the '70s.
Is there a Cinematography category at the Emmys??? If there is then this should've been up there. Beautifully shot film.

Weird lol
TV movies have existed in every decade after the 70s and they're pretty common. So it's not a 70s thing at all...
Damn well deserved.
Cool. I mean, I don't like the idea of it being called a TV movie but cool I guess.
Wishful thinking but maybe if it wins (which it damn well deserves to) maybe that would draw up some buzz for a physical release. If not its nearly the first anniversary so maybe news then?
For what!? Man, the bar is so low these days...the creature design was garbage, the story was garbage, the only hing that was remotely good were the kills.
Hahaha for what? It was total garbage. The creature design looks like a down syndrome predator. The whole battle scene between the native parkour girl with the unbelievable axe weapon was trash. Not to mention the shoe horned bs with the pistol. This straight to DVD TV movie should be soon forgotten, rather than awarded because of, let's be honest, Hollywood checking diversity boxes. Its crap and time will show this to those with the ability to see through crap rather than be baited by nostalgia.

Awards are meaningless. Especially nowadays when they are awarded for checking boxes and not the actual merit of something. This film is garbage when compared to the first two. Its a mediocre, haphazardly slap together bootleg predator movie, riding off its wokeness rather than its subjective quality. Which when compared to the original two falls short in every respect. Especially that godawful design they try to excuse by saying it's "primative". No it's shite. So lol that.

They should have used actors like Wes Strudi, and used combat, etc., similar to those shown in movies like
Last of the Mohicans to make it more realistic. Also, both trappers and their families are threatened, together with the tribe, and they have figure out how to kill the creature.
For relief from action, show scenes where the two groups talk and figure out what the creature is. This would add to the lore of the creature.

Rightio, let's cut this one off at the pass please. Brokentusk, it's fine to discuss your dislike. I wont tolerate things like comparing to downs to express displeasure at appearances though. And let's not go 4chan on counter-arguments please. We're better than that.
I am disappointed to see a minority of people - even if they disliked the film, but unfortunately unpleasantly vocal in their manner - expressing displeasure at the film earning (very well earned) awards. It's very "cut off your nose to spite your face" kind of attitude because ultimately it's good for the brand in the long run.
Even if the film doesn't win any, it's a great accolade to be nominated and I'm proud of everyone involved (even if I still dislike the face :P)
I don't care for the film at all and I'm stoked it's getting such good recognition. Predator hasn't really done much at the awards level since the original; this is great to hear the property being taken so seriously.
well deserved???
Incomprehensible for a film that is only partially good.
There's a lot more to come to get those nominations or awards.
Of course it's not a total failure like THE Predator, but it doesn't come close to the first two parts either.
Apparently, you can't expect that anymore these days.
I absolutely don't understand the hype. P2 was torn apart by critics at the time, while Prey was praised to the skies.
The Predator in the last work looks cool with his bone mask, but without the thing it looks like he got beat up by Mike Tyson. Whoever approved this design must have been drunk.
(Well, the design wasn't nominated either, but it's part of the overall work)
The music is good but not exceptional. The story is fitting but far from a masterpiece. The film is nominated for performances that are actually just standard.
Nevertheless, all of this probably has the positive effect that there will be a Prey 2, which is also absolutely necessary to explain how the hunters get the pistol back again.
With all the attention the film has, it will hopefully be shown in cinemas again. I'm in, but I hope it gets better because there's still a lot of room for improvement.
yep i agree that if it is good in the long run totally. if it makes a new gen of fans totally. but it is the world building and planting a seed that grabs people a attention that makes a franchise stick around for years. if prey succeeds in this i am all for it. but the lack of posts and fervour just makes me wonder about the hype. but ultimately if it seeds a new gen of fans then thats job done. yes the pred franchise needs a boost an to be recognised more in the absence of alien franchise.
fwiw congrats to all.
I JUST HOPE DISNEY BUILDS ON THIS. AND TRACHTENBERG REMAINS ATTACHED.
kudos

awe you beat me to it.
I'm of the side where I'm glad it's winning awards because it is pretty good movie, I just really don't like it being called a TV movie. Like, a TV movie has a certain quality that Prey obviously lacks; it's too good for that.
I can certainly see why viewers and some fans have a negative take it, but like a great man once said, "that's just like, your opinion, man." And if you have to be discriminating or derogative, then no one's gonna take your opinion seriously due to a lack of being constructive and fairness.

you dislike Prey because of "its politics".
Your fave youtuber probably said something mean about it and you cried. :'(
Prey was great - loved it.
Predator 1 remains my fav, with Pred 2, Predators and Prey level-pegging.
The Predator obviously comes last.
The only thing I didn't like about Prey was the Predator design. I don't like this obsession with having to re-design it all the time. Its mouth opened far too wide and the bone mask sucked. It reflected more primitive technology - yet they still mastered space travel. Didn't stack-up for me. But aside from the Pred' face and mask, Prey is a solid 8/10.
Hopefully more to come.
Currently reading all the comics. Even the Archie ones!
Predator surely never had any politics in it right, it's not like the first 2 movies have a major subplot about how the government and military will use people as expandable assets, that is not political at all, nah

Re: the primitive technology but still mastered space travel bit.
My take on that real quick: He (feral) had a preference for using less sophisticated weaponry, but that doesn't necessarily mean the more high tech weapons we've seen in other films weren't available to him. Lot of modern day human hunters chose to use bow and arrows for example (of varying technological sophistication there too). My grandpa prefers his rifle, while my uncle prefers a traditional bow. Sometimes they switch it up and use a compound bow. Either way, I just took that as feral's personal hunting preference to use less sophisticated weaponry.
Yep. Just on my street, there's a guy who goes pig hunting with his guns, and another who goes pig hunting with a sharp stick and a pair of dogs.

I've heard of that one too! I saw some hunting show once where this dude went hunting for boars with a pack of dogs and a k-bar lol

I'm guessing that a subsequent one would have involved that given any report by Dutch to his superiors, but by the second movie, societies were already falling apart due to crime and economic problems.
There was the part in the second movie, though, where one gov't group pretending to be part of the DEA wanted to capture the predator, and that Dutch was supposed to have been its leader. (They couldn't continue that because Arnold backed out.)

His device was very sensitive to f**king dust, also took way longer to properly cloak, it's likely just different manufacturers or craftsman ship
... and didn't short out in water, the most consistently displayed weakness since the first movie.
It shorting out in ash makes sense. It's made very fine particles, it would screw with whatever mechanism is working to bend the light. But so would water. Having one affect it but not the other just makes it feel very superficial.
Right, and all other Predators also never had their cloak fail after being impacted by bullets or even bleeding on it, the cloak has never been consistent in these films, and this one is VISIBLY different from every other cloaking device by working in "chunks" around the body and being red
Quote from: PAS Spinelli on Jul 17, 2023, 05:59:44 AMthe cloak has never been consistent in these films
Except the water. It's the one consistent weakness and this supposedly primitive version handles it like a champ. It stands out.

True, the cloak always went out when coming in contact with a liq-
(https://i.imgur.com/iVY6avV.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/GJYGzR3.png)
Notice neither of those are presented as primitive technology.
Also notice I'm not complaining about bear blood. Opaque liquids don't seem to bother the cloak - again, fairly consistent.
Show me in the movie where it's said "this predator is using primitive technology".
And no, the words of a writer, director, actor or whatever have no bearing on this because it's not represented in the movie. The Cloak is just a different type of cloak, the same way we have seen different types of spears, wristblades, discs, heat vision and even plasma casters.
Even if they're not primitive, they're 300 years older than what we see later. Still a noticeable backwards step.

Preferences are preferences 🤷 lol
Some hunters use fancier camo too so I don't see an issue there
simple explanation is that feral chose a cloak that was more water proof than the others. It's speculative, but within the realm of reason and plausibility. It's easy enough to assume feral liked more primitive weapons and more water proof/resistant cloaking.

Personally I think for a species cavorting around the galaxy with FTL 300 years is the rounding error on a weekend bender if you took the wrong turn at alpha centauri.

So do I, but the filmmakers themselves hammered home the idea repeatedly (the cluster bombs being an early version of the self destruct, for example).
It's glaring to show a cloaking device devoid of its signature weakness with no explanation and I'm surprised that seems to be such a controversial statement.
I think it's just that most people aren't really bothered by details like that when they enjoyed the film overall. It's a bigger issue for people who aren't inclined to cut it as much slack due to goodwill.

I wouldn't call that a controversial statement. You're right; the film does not address it, but it's just not something that bothers me because there's many rational explanations for it. I guess this is where headcanon comes in to fill the gaps. Mine is, it came down to choice for each predators' preferred cloaking tech (and weapons). Some liked a more advanced tech while others didn't. It's not all that different from human hunters choosing different camo patterns; some patterns work better than others but it really just boils down to the hunter's choice when selecting their gear.

I don't know, PAS seems to get personally offended every time I mention anything that could be seen as slightly negative about the film.
It's not even an issue for me watching the movie. It just strikes me as incongruent with the vibe they were going for with Feral overall.
How am I personally offended?

yes but that s mainly because the movie AND franchise means something to them on a very personal and spiritual level.
it why it s like that, that interests me
Which works both ways. Nobody's getting upset about things that aren't meaningful to them - but at the same time nobody's getting defensive about things that aren't meaningful to them.
That can obviously get volatile but for the most part people here have reasonable conversations.
True. I thought Prey was pretty mid, to be honest, but I don't care enough about the franchise to say much about it either. I leave that to the soda-drinking Predator fans.

I had no idea? I thought they were just another weapon to use. Now this leads to the question of self destruct being a new rule of preserving honor or Feral being hot headed enough to believe that he wouldn't ever need to use the self destruct as intended and for a weapon against the French Trappers instead.

I saw it in the same way I see how tech is in real life, like say firearms for instance. Some firearms have advantages and disadvantages over others and are constantly going under development. Pistols, Shotguns, Rifles, Sniper Rifles, ect all have a different role to play and even then within their respective functions, not all truly stand above the other. Like how some rifles have a longer barrel and stronger mechanism that allows to shoot heavier calibers but at the cost of some mobility due to the added weight. Or some can hold more types of ammunition over others and some can shoot more accurately than others.
I suspect that the cloak back then had stronger effectiveness at being water resistant but at the cost of a less effective invisibility. Cloaking as we see in more modern times like in 87 got better invisibility but at the cost of outright no water resistance. And Dan's comments on Feral's cloaking supports my theory seeing how he said the cloak is a older version of the previous films.
I'm not saying it's inexplicable.
Just that not explaining it sort of stands out.
This is all.

you dislike Prey because of "its politics".
Your fave youtuber probably said something mean about it and you cried. :'(
I don't care about youtubers's opinions. I don't do politics, I don't even vote.:laugh:
I hate Prey for the same reasons I hate The Predator, or Predators, or AVP or AVPR.
They don't possess the fundamental elements I need for a Predator movie. As I said before
I'm a romantic. I need my Winston designed preds, I need Silvestri's score.I need my skinned
human bodies. I need pratical fx. I'd pratically need panavision lenses too. :laugh:
Let's respect each other opinions.I know it's not gonna happen but maybe the fanbase will
ask for what I'm asking too, at least concerning the preds design.Miracles happen.
The fanbase has spoken.
The miracle being that we got an actual Predator movie that's critically acclaimed by critics, fans and audiences.

Wasn't the original nominated for an Oscar?

For VFX, yeah. Not for anything close to Best Picture though.
Then it's all good.

You should go see Dial of Destiny again.

It's easy to forget the cloak was truly groundbreaking and a hell of an achievement at the time.
These days I can remake it in about ten minutes in After Effects.

Ain't that the truth. Even though newer films can do the cloaking better nowadays, I almost always return to the original, and even Predator 2 to some regard, because, I don't know why, I just prefer that original, wavy cloak rather than the more modern, more detailed cloaking.
Concerning "fundamental elements," I think some would involve something believable and unique. In this case, we had a goober predator which helped what appears to be a superhero. I would have considered a smart but injured predator facing a tribe and community of trappers that need to work with each other to survive.

That's great news 👏8)
I had hoped it'd take home some more awards, but I'm thrilled it got the one at least!

I believe it's still up for a couple more during the primetime awards show on the 15th.
Great news! I did not watch the movie on a great sound setup, any particularly stand-out scenes involving sound?
Great news, well done! Everything about the movie was great - with the exception of the pred's face, which was beyond terrible. Hope we get more movies based on the success of this one, but with a return to the classic predator face rather than what looked like a caricature of Stan's design.
