Prey Steelbook UHD & Blu ray [Blu-ray] [Region Free]

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.

This is an excellent prequel to the other Predator films. I love that it is set a few years after the Shoshone-Comanche split with the Comanche drifting southerly but still in mountainous terrain. Amber Midthunder is more than up to the role and none of the other cast fall short. I watch it with the Comanche soundtrack, sometimes with English subtitles, sometimes not; try it without subtitles, it'll make you concentrate more on the film and give your cerebral connections a boost. My only issue with this release is that there is not a Comanche subtitle track. I look forward to the seque. Ura to the Numunuh producer.

Very Good. Some of the CGI wasn't great. But a good film. We'll worth a look. I enjoyed it. Great to see the Trappers getting their comeuppance!!

Interesting different take on the Predator series, this time set in the past. Great lo9ing and sounding transfer on the disc. A perfect addition to any fan of the franchise.

Great film great sound and picture

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.

Delivered very quickly, the film was brilliant well worth the money

Bought on a whim after reading reviews here on Amazon. You have a fascinating choice of viewings - If you want to you can access the Comanche Audio track, and you get a lot of intereting extras. When the film started I felt I was in for a fascinating viewing experience. Something completely different, and what's more, interesting. Sadly I am sorry to say that a bit of boredom set in as our warrior's quest seemed to be going nowhere. Then towards the final 40 mins or so it leapt to a rather unpleasant set of sequences with French trappers - and then the final face off with the title creature. It was here that I lost the plot completley. I won't explain why (Spoilers - I don't do, but...young female "warrior" and very very big, nasty "Predator"?) However, the locations are excellent, the casting very unusual - apart from the trappers they all appear to be native Americans. The lead puzzled me a bit - AMBER MIDTHUNDER - looked 14, actually was 25! How old is the character meant to be? Never explained and therefore some logic in the action scenes went out the window. Sometimes very graphic and violent this is an unusual film and well worth seeing, and remember....my opinions are just that, not facts. You should see this and judge for yourself. (Subtitles very good - Comanche, French and English - Like I said, a fascinating unusual film!)

Most of the sequel Predator movies became so formulaic and predictable, one-dimensional w/no character development - I lost interest long ago. Writers didn't seem to be able to get beyond this template. This movie is a breath of fresh air and definitely a joy to watch. You CARE about the individuals and in particular the lead character, Naru, and her struggles as an indigenous woman defining herself in a male-biased role (remember Ripley in the first Alien movie?) - this is along those lines, but within a very fascinating historical environment. While the first Predator is all about alpha male, macho brawn and technology toys (weapons) against an advanced weapons-armed alien - Naru's approach is all about SKILL and using pre-technology weaponry to outsmart a deadly enemy via good old fashion brain power. Bravo!

I loved the film but this BluRay is amazing. The picture quality is second to none and the audio just blew me away. Definitely worth the investment.

Not really.... Arrived punctually, in good order, well-packaged.

Buena película, muy emocionante, buena historia bien contada.
