![]() ![]() I think that’s why this film is so interesting because she’s more of a predator herself than Arnold is. She doesn’t have the heavy artillery because it’s the 1700’s but she doesn’t need it. It’s an interesting concept explored and exploited by her. One of the themes of the film is that the Yautju isn’t going to hunt you if you don’t pose a threat. She knows her worth and will do what she needs to in order for the world around her to see it. ![]() Midthunder’s character Naru is smart, agile, and headstrong. Despite the technology the alien possesses, Arnold himself still poses a threat. His fight against the Predator is filled with sweaty muscle bound men with guns, mud, and steel. In Predator, our main POV is Arnold Schwarzenegger who you may know as an absolute brick shit house of muscle, and as one of the biggest action movie stars of all time.

The big thing though is that her people don’t believe she can do it. Prey follows a skilled Comanche warrior names Naru (Amber Midthunder) who protects her tribe from a highly evolved alien predator that hunts humans for sport, fighting against wilderness, dangerous colonizers and this mysterious creature to keep her people safe. Does that make it any less of a great return to form for the series? No. So was I bound to enjoy Prey as much as I did? Yes. Since then, I’ve played any game with the Yautja (The species typically referred to as the Predator) that I could find. I spent so much time before that playing Alien Vs Predator: Last of His Clan on my Gameboy. I remember it distinctly because my mom made me get this weird orange rimmed dvd shield to put over it so it wouldn’t scratch. Predator was the first movie I bought myself on DVD. Predator” war that rages on for so many people. For me, there is a clear winner in the “Alien vs. I’m going to be up front with you before I talk about Prey. ![]()
