Predator: La presa

-Great visuals and music -Very atmospheric feel...the wilderness feels like a character of its own which makes it the most immersive movie of the franchise -I could be very critical of the script and the fact that there are not much memorable characters/not much nuance but this is a predator movie not call me by your name 2 ... -Very satisfying action (some of my favourite in the series ) apart from one scene with bad cuts (Naru vs the other comanche guys) -Also good pacing and length..doesn't overstay its welcome and I'd watch a sequel... I recommend.

I think Prey did an excellent job at crafting a fresh new story. Let's face it, predictor sequels and spin-offs have felt more like a money grab. But here there's a real story that cleverly weaves a number of story lines together to spin up this intriguing edition.

Amber Midthunder more than holds her own and keeps the pace moving. And the movie does a great job at leveraging the historical context for maximum effect.

Big thumbs up from me.

As a lifelong fan of this franchise I am admittedly biased. Since the revolutionary classic first film, Fox/hollywood have made 4 sequels all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed/ still critiqued. A perfect sequel hasn't been made imo and may never be, but I can say this new film has the closest effective wilderness ambience/suspense to the first film and that warrants great praise.

I was skeptical with a few things judging by the trailer but seeing the final product I can say that no matter the logic holes in the mismatch of Pred vs prey , the film is executed quite well. The settings are phenomenal and amplify the overall product. Dan Trachtenberg has a keen eye for detail as seen in 10 cloverfield lane and shows it once again. The costume design captures a completely different timeframe awesomely as well as shows a new more prehistoric predator that might be the coolest visually yet. Music and sound is crisp and powerful and adds so much. The acting is bare bones but for the story it has to be as far as context.

It's a shame that this had to be only streaming as it should have been in theater. The scenery is fantastic. But regardless it's a surprising return to roots as far as the back to basics setting and suspense aspects. It's another welcome sequel and should be seen by any predator fan or action fan.

I first saw this almost two years back n loved it. Revisited it recently.

This one deserved a theatrical release man.

This is the fifth film in the main series and seventh in the overall franchise. It is a prequel to the first four films.

This one is set in 1719, nearly 268 years before the events of the first film.

This one has mind blowing action scenes n superb cinematography.

The movie is filled with lots of tension n has lottuva fierce animal attack scenes n has a masterpiece climax.

It has lots of dismemberments, gory kills and some awesome hand-to-hand combat.

This one has some of the best kills in the franchise.

Taabe's combat with the predator was mind-blowing. This guy single handedly, without technology almost beated the Predator. I always felt the Predator was a big cheater using his camouflaging behaviour.

Firstly let's be honest, no matter what they do they will never match the original or even the 1990 sequel. Not that they are"classics", more just the fact they are very much of their time and I'm sure most people view those two films through rose tinted glasses. Especially the original Schwarzenegger film.

Yeah I like Prey, it's a solid action film that holds your attention throughout even if it's a little predictable what the outcome would be. But predictable doesn't mean it's not enjoyable. Some great action scenes and the story has a few nice and subtle links to the past movies.

Way better than the two Alien crossovers and ahead of 2018's The Predator, although that may be because setting this 300 years ago gives it a new perspective.

Worth watching, out of the 7 "Predator" movies I'd say this falls smack bang in the middle but films like this are what they are, either you're gonna like it or you don't.
