    What I love about “Prey” is that it’s themes are universal. Naru’s story is more than just a woman who wants to be a hunter. She’s someone who wants to be more than what her tribe expect her to be. She respects her traditions, but doesn’t want to be beholden to them. Her story is relatable because how many of us want to be more than what our families and society expect us to be? How many of us have had go against the norm to be who we truly want to be? I love the fact that Naru isn’t successful in the beginning, just like none of us are. But just like her we don’t give up on what is worth doing. We stand back up and try again. “Prey” is still a kick ass action film, don’t get me wrong, but the fact that they were able to subtly put in such a relatable message into a Predator film is amazing!

    • @allenstout9959
      @allenstout9959 Před rokem +1

      It was a great combat but frankly, if it had lasted longer I think Taabe might have won. He put a spear through its shoulder and put a couple of arrows in it. I think the Predator sensed he needed to end him quickly because Taabe was straight up dangerous. I see it as a compliment to Taabe's abilities.

      Predator during, say, World War I, would be an era of human technological status sufficiently greater than 1719 when "Prey" takes place and less than 1987 when the original "Predator" takes place. So, a WWI-era Predator movie would be interesting.

    • @aReallySwellGuy
      @aReallySwellGuy Před rokem +4

      It had some of the best Predator franchise moments, however there were things I couldn’t get behind too.
      One thing was the english lines, some of them much too modern like “you tried but you couldn’t bring it home” like a baseball dad line

    • @KrazyX777
      @KrazyX777 Před rokem +2

      @Leftist Filth
      SPOILER ALERT: For those who will see the movie.
      1. The wild life animals: I doubt a wolf would try to stand its ground alone against an invisible unknown thing that is obviously stronger than it, that wolf would have ran the moment it felt something attack it and it couldn't see it. The bear would not do a battle cry after it thinks it won a fight and then turn around to fight again once it hear its kill get back up. It was just too human.
      2. I hate when movies quote a previous movie from the franchise: There was at least two instances that I noticed where they quote Arnold "If it bleeds, we can kill it." and "Come on, do it now!" I get that it pays homage to the classic, but it just makes the entire film feel like a tribute and not it's own movie.
      3. The way the Predator dies was a bit anticlimactic for me. I kinda was hoping he would get back up even with an arrow in his skull, given he is such a badass. Or he could have at least self-destructed.
      Other than that, the other stuff was very small but was lingering on the outskirts. Such as Naru (Midthunder) being a woman feeling oppressed by men because she wanted to hunt like the men do. Sort of a Mulan type story. Which made it feel in the beginning of the film that this might be a Hollywood political jab at patriarchy. They didn't go deep into it, thankfully. By the end of the film I felt that it was more about a woman who got a reality check but never gave up her spirit.

However, IF they did... they didn't make it their main focus. You're right, if a normal woman went toe to toe with Predator it would be not even a contest LOL. They make it clear throughout the film that Naru is different. More intelligent rather than strong.

    I loved it! It's not cheesy when it comes to bringing the story of a girl who wants to prove herself or dripping with machismo like the 1st movie. There's a natural flow of the story and we see another side of the Predator.

    This film was shot in Alberta Canada, just outside of Calgary.
