Prey Fan Reviews

And in reply to the post directly above, no Alien³ was always good, it mainly got loudly whined about by Americans when it came out and that's not changed whereas everyone I meet in real life actually likes it.

They'll never get over Hicks and Newt

None of the Predators survive their hunts against humans. This Predators are amazing hunters is in our heads.

I'd like that to change for at least one future film. Because we all know how the films end by this point.

The Predator could have been ran off by some back up from the Commanches while wounded. Sets up that Humans are cagey and to bring plasma casters next time

Well it's not just that.
It's that David Fincher wasen't allowed to do the movie he wanted.
The setting with prisoners is just all wrong - I don't f**king care... kill them xeno, plz!
Killing the hero's from the previous, that also Jim Cameron said about Prometheus/covenant, was
realy something he would never do... (goodbye, john connor...)

When I think of it, Prey and Alien3 is pretty similar...
Forgettable characters - check! all prisoners/all indians... and some minor french fodder you diden't care about either.)
Simple "Jason/Friday the 13th" plot (as someone discribed it.)
"The predator isen't a predator any more/the Alien isent an Alien anymore"-debate it.

Can we keep things on topic please, plenty of other places to discuss that particular "film".  Need to give Prey a rewatch in a few days time, when I'm somewhere a bit more Wi-Fi friendly. Is the Comanche dub a Hulu exclusive or can you get it on Disney + too?

[BlueMarsalis79]

Yeah they are pretty similar though, they get similar criticisms that do not jive with me, and I loved both.

[D-13]

Agree. And I actually enjoyed Prey... was waaaaay over my expectations.
Sure one can alway's see flaws, but I tried to enjoy it and not think too much about the details...
was a good movie... simple and on the point with a pre-historic Yautja that probably belong to a diffrent tribe then we've seen before... hence why it act and look diffrent...

That's because it upset people.

Like Blue said, I too have never met anyone IRL who had seen it and wasn't neutral to positive in their opinions on it.

Yeah, after seeing it my hesitation to it doesn't seem fair. Even with my gripes its still a good movie and would have been worth the cost of admission if it'd been a theatrical release

Yeah, we have hipsters here too.

"It had a great atmosphere but was a bit hard to follow" seems to be the most common take, and is hardly a hipster-ish "well akshually".

I've never met anyone who liked it.

[Rankles75]

46% on Rotten Tomatoes, and I've never met anyone who liked it either. But that's by the by, this is a Prey thread (currently over 90% on RT) so not relevant. 

[Kradan]

Predator 2 is 30 %. You see how using RT as a proof of anything kinda doesn't work ?

I dunno, seems accurate for a niche schlock movie.
