I think they made the right choice to keep the film focussed on Naru and her journey and not get bogged down with side stories. I always felt with 2010’s Predators and 2018’s The Predator, they were just re-treading the same ground but the story in Prey brings something unique and different to the Predator franchise. Her adorable dog Sarii plays a significant role and is part of many key scenes. We have at last a worthy heroine in the Predator franchise. Midthunder is the highlight of the film and is wonderful in the role of Naru. We see Naru with her Comanche tribe at the start but there are long scenes where it is just Naru and her dog Sarii exploring the wilderness with very little dialogue. Dakota Beavers plays her brother Taabe who is supportive of her desires to a point. The film is very much all about Amber Midthunder’s Naru and her quest to follow in her brother’s footsteps and become a great warrior. Prey is made up of a mostly First Nations cast. There are numerous stunning sweeping shots of the landscapes and mountains. The movie was shot around Calgary, Alberta, Canada and is easily the most visually impressive Predator film in the series. Prey was directed by Dan Trachtenberg who is known for directing the excellent 10 Cloverfield Lane and was written by Patrick Aison. It features a young Comanche woman called Naru who aspires to become a great warrior. The newest Predator film, Prey, is a Predator prequel set in the Northern Great Plains in 1719. Well, it seems Disney has listened and here we are at long last. I always wanted to see a Predator film set in the distant past. I remember commenting in my review of 2018’s The Predator, that it wasn’t a bad movie but I wasn’t fond of the setting. Here’s AvPGalaxy’s review of the Prey 4K Blu-Ray set. I must admit after rumours over the past few years of Disney abandoning Blu-Ray releases in favour of their streaming platform, I’m relieved we are finally getting a physical release for Prey, albeit over a year later. Unlike previous Predator films, Prey went straight to streaming in 2022 with no theatrical release. ![]()
