Prey


Vastly better than “The Predator” this is a prequel / sequel / remake / reimagining / homage of the very first film, with plenty of references to nearly all the other films to keep even the most fervent fan of the franchise happy. Of particular note is Amber Midthunder’s performance, as she did a great job of a woman at odds with the men around her, trying to find her way in a world that doesn’t want her to do anything more than what a woman should be doing.
I was also impressed with the dog that’s in the film, it was so well trained for its scenes that I’m wondering if it was an exceptionally well done CGI critter or a real, live animal.
It’s on Hulu, so you can comfortably watch this in the comfort of your own comfortable house!

The Predator


Perhaps I gave this movie a bit too much gruff in my previous review, but not by much. There’s a lot to dislike about the film, it is over reliant on trope heavy characters and low brow humor, but there’s enough good stuff to still make it a watchable film. The casting is questionable for nearly every character, and everyone feels over the top and cartoonish.
All that being said though, I did enjoy the advancement of our movie based knowledge of the Predators and all the various things they have going on (space cops?), but I would be remis if I didn’t suggest reading some of the dozens of books to fill even more of that backstory in.
