The plot: A skilled Comanche warrior protects her tribe from a highly evolved alien predator that hunts humans for sport, fighting against wilderness, dangerous colonisers and this mysterious creature to keep her people safe.
I was looking forward to this movie.
The New Prey Movie was awesome.
Pros: I like they don’t show that much of the Predator but his presence was felt. I was impressed how they retold The Predator’s Origin set in a different period of time. The practical effects used to re-create The Predator were amazing. Amber Midthunder was a really good antagonist protecting her tribe and you will feel intensity and concern throughout the film. Also there’s a lot blood and violence that were promised.
Cons: The head helmet look fake and the hunters in the 3rd act didn’t make that much of an impression.
The Casts:
- Amber Midthunder as Naru, a young Comanche warrior who protects her tribe against a Predator.
- Dakota Beavers as Taabe, Naru’s brother and a skilled hunter.
- Dane DiLiegro as the Predator. This individual is shown to wield primitive versions of the advanced weaponry used by Predators in previous films.
- Stormee Kipp as Wasape, a Comanche hunter that looks down on Naru
- Michelle Thrush as Aruka, Naru and Taabe’s mother
- Julian Black Antelope as Chief Kehetu
- Bennett Taylor as Rafael Adolini, a translator
I recommend watching this film on Disney+.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
