Prey - No Masterpiece, But Surprisingly Good

Too critical and not enough drinking

It's kind of funny all of the best parts of that movie were call backs to the original. So I wouldn't say that I dislike this movie. It's more like the reason why I can enjoy it to a certain degree is because I enjoy the original. But one thing I don't think anyone can disagree with me on. Them fucking retconning the second predator movie with the flintlock at the end is fucking bullshit. Predator 2 is better than Prey, we shouldn't be retconning the better movie in order to have a plot point in a weaker movie

For the sequel her brother will follow in her footsteps and because a fierce woman hunter , I think Prey : for humanity would be a fitting title .. the predator can come to earth to find gender equality from they/them patriarchal society and be treated as a beautiful flower rather than a viscous alien monster

Stopped watching after she leashed her tomahawk and defied all physics. Lame movie. Wouldn't recommend.

She does seem to be a cheap character

This movie got worse with age

This is a very astute breakdown of this movie. Especially the part about the lack of character development of the protagonist as opposed to the original.
I appreciate your work drinker. Im looking forward to seeing what your creatice endeavors come to be in the future.

They could have gone full ork and yelled "get to the choppa!" Im reference to her hatchet

You were way too kind to this ridiculous movie

this movie is so bad

Bunch of haters...prey was good..totally fresh ideas...we need predator in the civil war YEEEAH

If your main character is more or less the same, as a person, from beginning to end, then your movie fails the most basic of movie concepts: character development. That's one of the main things that makes a story rewarding and interesting. It's to see how the different events and plot change the characters. It's the basic story of the hero. He starts as a lowly, immature peasant but throughout the story he learns to become stronger, more mature, takes responsibility, saves the kingdom from evil dragon and marries the princess, becoming the new king. That's what makes people aspire to be like him. Think of the story of Nathan Algren from the last samurai. He gradually becomes a better man throughout the movie. Stops drinking, finds peace, learns to be a samurai, helps them fight the evil industrialized army.

i completely missed this movie and was curious about doing research and extremely surprised landing on this channels review and saying it was a "decent movie". I suspect it was a paid review. it's woke garbage by every metric. it's a ridiculous settings, with a ridiculous MC. even if the MC was the best male hunter in the village it would still be dumb.

Grizzly vs Predator was fuckin dope.

Hey, at least there was a “training montage.”

Just one criticism... at the end of Predator... didn't Arnold take the Predator 1 on 1?

Yet, you mock a girl for doing the same. In both movies, the humans survived due to their intelligence.. not brute strength. It was never Arnold's huge muscles or massive fire-power that authored his victory. No, it was his intelligence and cunning. Once he realized that technology was useless against his foe, he went spec-ops and started relying on cunning and intelligence.

The Predator's biggest weakness (vs humans) has always been their failure to treat their hunted with respect. I'm not sure I've seen a Predator die on film from a cause other than hubris.

Although, to be fair, in most cases... hubris is code for the dude writing the story just trying to push things along along.

[edit.. You said this setting violates a principle that states Predators show up in hot enviornments to make the hunt more challenging. May I ask why Alien vs Predator happens in caverns of ice beneath Antarctica? I'm not saying you are just talking shit here, but I am saying what you said doesn't match up with what the movies have done and said. Kinda like you are living in some alternate universe here.]

This movie sucks! The little girl wins in a hand to hand combat versus the predator? Suuuureeee

I know I'm super late, this is the 2nd time I've watched this 'cause it came up in my recommendations today.

And I was just thinking, if they had put a massive loss as a reason for her wanting to be a warrior, like failing to protect a younger sister or brother, it could've worked better as her internal need to be a strong warrior to protect her tribe.
Because she doesn't want that loss again. To the point where it's almost obsessive that she HAS to be strong or else she'll get hurt if she loses the people she loves and cares about.
She could be temperamental and getting increasingly frustrated until she meets the Predator which forces her to move with more thought or to realize that she needs a calm and stable headspace if she wants to defeat it. That she can't let her emotions always get the best of her and that she has to let go of the past in order to stop giving a tether to her frustrations.
The whole, "It's not your fault. You couldn't have done anything to save them. You have to stop blaming yourself." sort of shtick.

Take this with a grain of salt though 'cause I also haven't seen this movie in years, lol.

No. You're NOT going to pull a Mandela on me. I watched your original evaluation when this came out, and it was SCATHING. "Good" was not a word that was present in it in any connotation whatsoever.

This chick shot a arrow at a bear

It was good enough to keep the gun out of my mouth for a little while!

It really wasn't coincidental that her tribe found her tho. They can track animals as small as mice. I grew up in the woods and I could easily find rabbits, deer, foxes, and so on, even people. These people would be absolute pros at tracking. Their lives depended on it.

I was enjoying it until the end when the 5’3 110pd woman was kicking the predators a$$ 😂😂😂. They totally lost me there. Ruined the whole movie, what a joke. They just can’t stop with this feminist agenda smh.

The thing I found "off" about this movie is how different the star looked from the other Indians. It was like they adopted a Filipina-Latina. It was decent that they showed the rest of the tribe hunters were X-Men, as it wasnt so shocking when she started flipping around like Nightcrawler.

Hey Einstein, dogs have been in the Americas since before the Colombian exchange. Dogs have also been domesticated for thousands of years. There were many breeds of dogs that were domesticated by Native Americans including one that produced wool. Open a book. Oh wait, that’s right. You cannot read.

Prey is so stupid.
Main female character who can't kill a lion, can't kill a bear then instantly get stronger after a short training montage and magically win against monster that a group of well-trained warrior can't kill.

Drinker, you either drank too much, or not enough when you made this video.
Prey was ASS!
Not a cute or perky ass but, the stinky, unwashed ass of an old beggar getting his pants stolen by Kyle Reese.

Prey is not in anyway a good movie... Yes the fight scenes are cool but the whole story and plot are boring and stupid and the girl is a giant mary sue.

It was mediocre at best, IMO!

Pretty much agree with the review. I had a real problem with the depiction of the Comanches, who never ever roamed in a region of the country that looked remotely like that. All plains indian tribes lives centered around the hunting of buffalo, and yet you wouldn't get that from how little interaction these indians had with the buffalo. But the biggest issue for me was, a 100 pound female won't last two seconds in a straight up confrontation with a remotely competent Predator. That could've been fixed if she and here brother had worked together a bit more at the end.

That pistol was a lot older 300 years ago.

I’m just here for the Native Americans, I’m not very interested in the alien.

Ummm didn't you like Disney's original Mulan for the same reasons you criticize this female character lol???

This dude for sure drinks a barrel before he sits to make one of these!!! Yes the sir predator was alive and is historically accurate because this is a fkin documentary on how women lived in native American tribes at the time!! What's wrong with you all nodding to this drunk ass man with a kidney bean for a brain! Pathetic

maybe for an 15 year old girl - otherwise just a mid adventure movie 🤷‍♂ bad cheap animal cgi, some nice landscapes, annoying main-char with her mini-stick-axe 🤣. would be me much better if the clothes were not like brand new and if they had spoken native all the time. this clear english kills every immersion...

I used to like your videos but now that I grew up I realized you're just one of those people who cant enjoy anything without saying its "woke" or some bs

Oh terraplanist tears

Nope. It's mid at best

girl boss woke shit. but i would bang the chic

Its funny to see these so called anti woke people eating their own words.

The drinker is such a grifter man 😅

has this super hunter ever won a fight? Seems to be a sort of cosmic Amir Khan

This, or AvP1? I think AvP1 is better overall. Of course, the biggest flaw of AvP1 was that Preds were all amateurs. Literally (they were all Young Bloods). We never get to see the awesomeness of Preds.

I wanted to rent this movie off DirecTV, but that stupid ass lion movie comes up. So I tried predator prey and such still no luck.
I thought they couldn't have two movies with the same exact name.
This movie should sue that dumbass lion prey movie.

This is a great movie. Loved it

that Prey chic should play the new Rouge !

The girl in this was terrible. She sounded like a Valley Girl. Awful, awful actress.

Movie sucks I give it a 2 out of 10 just because of the visuals and environmental are goodish... the writing and combat scenes are absolute dogshit, they're completely unplausible, she goes from a noob fighter to a super fighter in a day which is ridiculous, she's soaks hits that would smash Arnie's head in, and she pulls off gymnastics that she doesn't even know like she has the force or something like a Jedi so yeah 2 out of 10 and I think I'm being generous

Disagree with Drinker here. The film was basically just more Woke Disney crap, the character jumping from believable victim overcoming challenges to Woke Mary Sue, right at the end. Unlike Ripley or Dutch, who survive by the skin of their teeth using their wits to defeat an unknowable horror, she basically just somersaults over the monster at the end, having previously been, y'know, believable Disney can't write a female protagonist who is anything over than a Mary Sue for pre-schoolers

Woke film, Drinker.
