Prey Fan Reviews

It's been a long time since school, but I should be able to understand them as long as they're talking about a black cat or shutting a door...

But won't they rather eat and make love with their faces than fight?

Saw the movie at a press screening in Burbank tonight was honestly disappointed with it in many respects. There's some things I like about it, a couple of great action sequences, but that's the extent of my enjoyment. Certainly better than the 2018 film but not the slam dunk I was hoping for.

Can you give an overview of what disappointed you?

[Whos_Nick]

I thought the script was weak, the characters outside of Naru were pretty flat, and the film overall felt unmemorable. There's a good chance my expectations might have been too high going into this because of the buzz over the weekend, but I don't know. There's more I want to say but can't without going into spoilers.

[SiL]

There are spoiler tags.

Also, weirdly, everything you said still puts this at "the best since the original" territory. It's a low bar to clear.

Actually I have one unconsequential question that will probably amuse only me, but does the french trappers say anything in french ? Like french slur or some like that ?

They speak entirely in French. No subtitles either.

I think I creamed my pants.

Edit : I just saw that at least two actors playing the trappers are from the Quebec region of Canada... So they won't have the french accent from France unless they learned it and played it that way.

We do all that at the same time don't worry.

Ive been told from a friend from France, that we Quebecers have an accent similar to the more rural areas of France, which more closely resembles older french of the time.

How would you rank it? Did you find it disappointing but good or disappointing and bad?

Well... It's complicated

I found it to be disappointing and meh, not a bad movie just forgettable sort of like Predators. My ranking for Predator movies right now is:
Predator
Predator 2
Predators
Prey
The Predator

You don't want to elaborate with some spoiler tags as to why?

Just got back from the premiere and been chewing this over on the journey home. I actually ended up sat next to Dan. I just looked across and was like "is that Dan?!" And it was. Chatted to him a little after the film was done. Really looking forward to having him on the poddy.

But yeah, not getting into details, that was f**king awesome. Objectively better than Predators (and you know how much I love Predators). Very tight, very focused. It's very much Naru's (with Tabe as support) film, and it works for it. Doesn't feel like it was only 90 minutes, and I don't mean that in a bad way. On a technical level, I thought it worked fantastically.

Dane was awesome. I just loved Feral's portrayal. Lot's of cool creature stuff for sure, that I can't wait to talk about more. Just the way he looked and moved was amazing. That mask is really something. It looks fantastic. Not too sure on the unmasked face though.

There's only one thing that really bugs me about how the film was handled, which I can get into later. But all in all, really f**king good experience. A perfect example of how flexible the Predator franchise is and how well it can work. I really can't wait to see this again.

Awesome, thanks for the thoughts. You feel comfortable placing it in a list of the Predator movies yet?
