Prey [DVD]

A new entry in the 'Predator' franchise of science fiction movies. About the aliens who come to Earth to hunt.This is set in the year 1719. It's a stand alone story that doesn't tie into any of the other Predator movies. So you don't need to have seen anything else to get into this.Set in America as it was, the main character is a girl called Naru. A member of a tribe of native Americans. They live a nomadic existence off the land. She's good at tracking. Has a faithful dog. She thinks she's ready to go hunting for game with her brother.He doesn't.But there's something else out there that's hunting things.....I think this is just what the franchise needed. Not trying to set things in motion with stories to be resolved over several movies. But just a stand alone movie that utilises the concept. It does utilise it very well, it has to be said.Naru is a good lead character. The actress does make her likeable. The location filming is nicely done. It captures the feeling of what it would have been like to live this kind of existence back then.It's not a film that appears to have a required a huge budget. Even so, it doesn't look low budget. The cinematography is really good and captures the landscapes well. The cast playing the tribe are all native Americans so that does add authenticity.It does try to give you the feeling of there being an invisible and powerful predator around. One that could strike at any moment. There are times when the score does slightly get in the way of this. But there are others when it is very effective indeed.Although in it's first half this feels like a four star movie. In that it's really good but just lacking that certain something to be really memorable, I found it really clicked in the second. It does open certain things up slightly to allow for it to be more than just the Predator stalking a handful of people. There's some superb imagery in terms of how things are staged which brings some memorable shots.Also, the fight scenes are memorable. Naru is not what they call a girl boss. Someone who could do anything without breaking a sweat. You feel the fights as she goes through them, and you do wonder if she can succeed. Which is as it should be.The resolution is effective. Sometimes films like this seem to have no idea how to end. But this reaches a logical and pretty satisfying finale, without stretching itself out too much.A very memorable viewing experience. Glad I finally got to it.There's nothing extra during or after the end credits.The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English. English audio captioned. German. Italian. Comanche.Subtitles: English. German. Italian.Although the actors playing the tribe all speak English, which of course they wouldn't have, it is done properly and thus it doesn't feel like a dub. So that works fine. Or course you could put the Comanche language track on and the English subtitles, if you want the really realistic experience.

Wow what can I say, this film certainly has you on the edge of your seat. This is action packed all the way through and tells you a story of a young woman who wants to be a warrior like her brother. She doesn't want to do the woman things that her tribe expects her to do. So she goes out to prove to her tribe that she can be a warrior but comes across something more sinister and more dangerous to man. She learns and works out to defeat this creature, and at the end has the Tribes respect and knowledgement which she has always wanted. There certainly is a lot of blood and gore and the special affects are really good in my opinion. This predator looks more ugly than the predator films and has nothing to do with those films in their story's. I certainly would recommend watching this film if your into sci fi with horror in the mix.

Good quality and great film

I have all of the predator films, I think they are brilliant. I was not aware of this release until Amazon brought it to my attention, so thank you Amazon! The film is very good, gets off to a slow start but gets going about 30mins in, very enjoyable.

This film is outstanding, a great action movie, perfect casting, bang on script, the best in the entire predator seriesI really hope they don't make a direct sequel. This needs to remain a stand alone film.

The film itself is great, and as it was a birthday gift it arrived in time. Am VERY happy 😊❤️

A good movie, nothing is ver as good as the original though, still very entertaining and definitely puts a different angle onto the story.

More subdued and longer buildup; nicely filmed in US countryside set in 1700 which one can enjoy. Good acting even if the initial formula of aliens + American Indians (like a previous old D.Craig offering "Cowboys. and Aliens.." which was also good!) seemed a bit dubious even for scifi but the film comes off well...more nature and less alien. The best in the Predator series is easily the first set in Antarctica. This is worth watching at a price that is not overly high (amazon had a under 10 pound deal).

I loved this prequel to the Predator movies. The scenery, special effects and acting were amazing and the story was captivating. I'm very impressed, especially since sequels and sequels-that-are-prequels tend to go downhill in quality of the original. The "making of" was also interesting to watch. I've watched this movie twice already within a week (I usually need a few years before I can repeat watch a movie). 5 stars, highly recommend.

trae audio latino, extras detras de camaras entrevistas esta cara pero vale la pena llego bien

eigentlich kannte ich ihn schon. Aber deshalb wollte ich die DVD haben. Was ich cool finde den Film kann man auch in Comanche mit englischen Untertitel anschauen. Fand ich einfach mal ein muss für mich dies auch zu tun

selon moi le film dans la série prédator.les combats sont spectaculaires.je connaissais pas amber midthunder,je l'ai trouvé fantastique.à recommander.

Très déçu par les suites du Predator originel, je me suis laissé quand même tenté par cette version dont je ne connaissais que le contexte, à savoir : Predator au temps des indiens. Et bien ma foi, cela a été une agréable surprise. Le côté minimaliste (juste la nature, les indiens et leurs armes primitives) et une mise en scène efficace rende ce nouvel opus très agréable à voir et arrive à retenir notre attention tout au long de la durée du film. A savoir, le film devait initialement paraître en langue Sioux mais la direction de la Souris au Grandes Oreilles ayant refusé, on retrouve néanmoins dans les options de langage du disque cette version (je dis cela pour ceux qui comme moi préfèrent les VO même sur les langues qu'ils ne connaissent pas).
