It is such a shame this one is not in theaters.
I know right, I feel it would have done really well.
They missed out on my money.
the sound design was amazing, it would have been such a treat to watch it in theatres.
I think this movie could have made a solid box office if released in theaters. It was definitely the next best Predator movie after the original.
I agree! this film should be in the big screen
I am soooo freaking happy to see Native Americans getting so many shows and movies that really show them in a more accurate representation
I don’t know that this is all that accurate of representation but I agree
Her war cry after she killed the pred geeked me out so much
@Leftist Filth what about trump
They would comparing her to going up against the "Dutch" character. I would say that Dutch would have the "one-liners advantage over Naru.
I have been saying over the last 3 years natives need another last of the Mohican type movie not enough white people trying to be native lol I grew up on the rez I saw alot of that and lookinglass powwow used to be huge now it's way smaller unfortunately I think that drugs are a factor it's really bad down there now
This film was so incredibly well done, and I loved the Native American story
This movie should have been released in theaters
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!
Her brother was awesome too, he's the perfect big brother, he knew and believed in her skills. But also wasn't scared to tell her like it is. I honestly had a tear when he gave his life to save his lil sister.
Jesus…
And it's funny how such human stories are considered "woke" nowadays
Anything non-white is considered woke and automatically garbage.
Meanwhile top gun Maverick is the greatest movie of all time apparently 🤣
@@cruzinthruspace no problem with Native American representation but the girl power bullshit is what I dislike about the movie…
@@louielouie5120 Exactly, her fighting was more fiction than the Predator. Her beating up the other way bigger male tribe member etc.
The depiction of Natives Americans was unbelievable. Loved the movie so much. Fantastic acting by the cast.
@Leftist Filth wow, who hurt you?
@Leftist Filth Good for you buddy. No one cares.
@Leftist Filth cool story bro
Unbelievable inaccurate. I don't think the writers read a single word about the comanche.
It was produced by a Comanche but please tell us your credentials.
Amber was amazing. Her personality in this interview on makes her shine even more. The cast seems so chill. I glad for Dan and everyone that worked on this movie how well received it was. Looking forward to more movies with the predator fighting before the 20th century.
Amber has that "star" quality, liked her roll in the movie Ice Road
She really carried the movie, wouldn't be such a great movie without that strong central performance (obviously, I guess)
We can call Dan Trachtenberg a certified great director now, right?
I thought he already was a great director. I think he was a perfect choice for the Predator franchise.
The producers hit a home run with this movie. Which is incredibly hard to do in Hollywood.
Yep, would love to see him direct every predator movie moving forward, this film was amazing
she was really not convincing as a warrior or hunter
I agree, Amber conveys a whole lot just with her facial expressions. And a great face for a poster as well.
I rooted for Naru and Taabe. Great acting chemistry. I was sad to see Taabe die, even though he did heroically... Great acting from all.
If Morbius can be rereleased in theatres. This movie definitely deserves to be released again in theaters, perhaps with additional scenes, something like the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home rerelease with 'the more fun stuff'.
Amber did a great job in the movie.
Having just finished watching the movie 10 minutes ago, I can say Dan knocked it out of the park. Just an excellent, excellent action movie and Amber and Dakota were awesome.
Such as great cast and creative team. It’s a shame Disney didn’t have faith in this project to put it in theaters.
The first time I saw Amber in a movie was in Ice Road with Liam Neeson. She was so amazing and thankfully the Prey is in Disney which we watched right away. It's incredible. This should be Oscar nominated.
Having actors do dialogue scenes in silent pantomime is straight out of Terrence Malick's playbook.
Yes it is. Too bad the cinematography was pretty far from being as good as a Malick's movie. Among other things.
@@SCharlesDennicon
I haven't seen it yet, but that's a safe assumption. 😆
This was one of the greatest predator movies ever made
Man, they knocked it out of the park with this movie...incredible experience...
I remember Dan from The Totally Rad Show. He was always the movie guy, nice to see him directing now
WOW, I forgot, what an incredible director
He also directed Cloverfield sequel 10 Lane.
It was a great movie. So love how Amber played her role. It seems so real. Love you Amber❤
Such a chill group. Movie was badass!
This was the best Predator movie after the original. I wish it got more attention.
Absolute delight to see Native Americans and Native American Genre on the big screen. The Native American culture is a BEAUTIFUL timeless culture and should be kept alive for audiences around the world to see and appreciate. Hope to see more of these kind of films...
Great movie. Congratulations to all. Going back to the roots was the right move. I only disliked two really small things, a single unnecessary line and the fact that the Predator combat with Taabe didn’t last longer.
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.
Just watched the movie! It’s so freaking awesome!!! 👏🏻
Amazing movie. Amazing imagery. Finally something new!
I would like to see the Predator during the Vietnam war.
The first one is inspired by that idea
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.
WWII Predator vs Nazi SS but Predator wins. 😆
Why the hell isn't this movie in theaters? It's so fucking good! Kinda took me by surprise
The entire time watching the movie lol on God I was praying for Amber Mid Thunder ⛈lol. Outstanding movie, Amber did her thing in the movie. Loved it 🙌🏿💯💖
Just completed watching, it is an amazing movie that gives crazy experiences. The cast nailed it
THIS MOVIE ROCKS! Am on my second viewing on Hulu! What an absolute surprise gem!!
I just finished watching it on Hulu. I'd say it's pretty good. Some things bothered me, but overall it was good in my opinion. The action and suspense is what most Predator fans sign up for when watching Predator movies and this film delivered.
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
@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.
@@aReallySwellGuy LOL agreed. I remember that line and I felt the same way.
@@KrazyX777 My thoughts exactly.
@Leftist FilthLike I mentioned, I did at the start feel that the movie was leaning towards the feminism woke stuff you speak of. I wouldn't doubt if that stuff was put in there initially. 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.
Deserves to have a theatrical release
This movie is perfectly cast.
I wish they will return in some capacity (mostly unlikey) if they ever make a sequel for prey but man i love this movie my fave predator creature so far my only nitpick was predator needs to be alot more taller
I love this actress. she and her and her esteemed father are are great.
the director,scrip writers,actor/actress and all the crew! PREY is a Great movie.
I honestly would not mind if we had an anthology series of movies called "Prey" of just the Yautja going through different time periods in Human History and just fighting those respective warriors of that time. Samurai age, Aztecs, WWII etc. There's so many different ideas that can be implemented that makes this series so fun.
Good lord almighty look at Amber Midthunder she is gorgeous!!😍
The war cries on this movie were an awesome touch
this was really good, first film in ages that i've watched to the end. well worth a watch, finally a decent Predator film
The fact that this movie not released in theaters is criminal
The first encounter of the predator with the comanches was so cool cuz when they saw it, instead of freaking out they were like, ok whatever and immediately started fighting it
They better be getting a sequel so they can tie the pistol in to greyback I loved it shane black can suck it lol thisvwas so well put together the studio better give them another movie
This should have been in theaters.
This PRAY is better than other PREDATOR movies.. GOOD JOB to all of them.👍
I've seen it it was the 3rd best Predator after Arnold #1 Brody #2 and now This one Amber Midthunder #3 they actually stuck to the basics and it was great!
i love how amber is so proud of her heritage
Never have I ever opened facebook or looked at my phone after watching this movie. Its intense! And she even did Arnold's line: "DO IT!"
I wonder what happened to Naru in how the flint pistol ended up in Predator 2 given to Danny Glover. Did her Comanche tribe survive going to higher ground?
I’m crying of joy!! A Native American cast and in a franchise I looove
Not having the producer speak bugged me. A good interviewer includes everyone...somehow.
This movie was up their with predator 1& 2 for me
so just not talking to the other lady at all... i felt uncomfortable for her
She did a great job, great movie.
Great movie..better than all the sequels put together.up there with the original
I just watched it. Enjoy it. Would been better at the Movies thou
One of the best Predator movies to this date! Watching Kerry fight a predator was awesome! This killed the AVP, in a good way!
I hope Dakota Beavers gets cast as Jason Strongbow aka American Eagle in the MCU
Great interview as always. I watched this film for the first time last night. Loved it. Enjoyed the discussion. Thank you for posting this video.
Fantastic Movie
Watch It 3 Times Already
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amber Midthunder
Is A @uckin Super Badass Star.
Huge Fan Now !!!
I watched the movie already...I ❤️ it...
I was surprised by how good the pacing and action of the movie. Hoping and looking forward on PREY 2 and also if possible. They put predator on Mayan and Aztec time setting. Have watched apocalypto movie of Mel Gibson. Was wondering if you put the predator in that movie would be very interesting and nice.
I took the English in the movie as the movie just translating it to English while they were really speaking Comanche lol
We need a part 2 PLEASE 😀
Great film👏👏👏Will definitely be watching it again 👍👍👍👍👍
Amber Midthunder is sooooo Lovely! ❤❤❤ 😁
I almost couldn't recognize Amber Midthunder in this film because first time i saw her when she acts in Legion tv series with that katana sword. Dane did a great job too as The Predator. Funny that he couldn't see clear enough while wearing the mask.
Amber performance in Prey is Oscar worthy....to all movie Directors and Producers, this is how to make prequel/sequel/spinoff...
This film was shot in Alberta Canada, just outside of Calgary.
This should’ve been on the big screen, but can’t wait to buy the blu ray when it comes out.
War cry of Naru was fcking amazing!
I loved this movie! as for the costumes, with the body paint, at one point I forgot it was paint and it looked like Naru was wearing a short sleeve top.
Excellent movie ... Amber was awesome
We need more Native Indian representation! The only flaw of this movie was that it was too short and not shown in the theater! This would have been great on the big screen! We need more culture how the Native Indian lived, scenery of big plains, their hunting culture. The difference between this setting of Predator and the Predator of Arnold Schwarzenegger is that Native Indians hunted throughout their lives, so it make sense that they make great adversaries of the Predator. While Arnold and his crew were soldiers not hunters.
the movie wouldve been so much better if the dialogue was in their Native Tongue.
They have a version like that. Or so I heard.
Disney didn't want but they made a complete dubbing in Comanche with the cast and wrote the dialogues to be close with the lips' movements in each langage.
PREY was such a kick-arse film!
this is my fave predator movie hands down
Please petition Disney, please publish Prey Predator 5 in 4K as UHD Bluray as home cinema. Such a great film belongs in 4K on the disc.
This movie is freaking awesome 👏
this movie was A+ a 10!!! u guys lets make this go in to theaters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wanna see it in the big screen
Was awesome 👍
They need to do a part 2 to prey with Amber in it
beautiful cast
Haha Dakota reminds me of the great Sonny Lindham in the original predator except in small package😄😄😆😆
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.
I've always wanted a predator movie between predators and Native Indians because it would make for a really awesome story.
They really gotta make a spin off series following her and the tribe.
Amber is amazing.. after I watched Prey, I automatically think of Brandon Sanderson's Book Series "Mistborn" and i believe soon to be to movie...she would be Perfect as Vin.
Dan from totally rad show!!
The movie is so awsome and amber is so pretty 😍
I just finished watching this and it is definitely better than the last Predator movie, by longshot. The acting and actors are brilliant and the scenery, yes as a Canadian I am biased, was beautiful. The only problem I have is once again the Predator is bested by a human, without technology. How is their species alive if they are beaten all the time. Naru was just way to intelligant on surmising how the Predator tech worked. I would have liked her to team up with the smaller Predator species to beat a larger one from Predators. After she killed the Predator it would have been great to have an ending like in Predator 2 when the elder Predators appeared before Lt Harrigan to pay her respect.
I'm sure this movie would have done well in theater
Only thing I did NOT understand about "Prey": did Paaku, the hunter with Naru and Taabe tracking down the lion, survive or not?
He got suddenly "whisked away" by either the lion or the predator, at night. But, after that scene, I never heard any more about that character.
It's pretty clear he was dead for me.
Her mother says he survived due to her medicine I thought
@@Nevada_Nieves that was puhi.
@@jdawgthethingod3212 oh the guy that got snatched from the branch? Dead for sure
Naru cleans up nicely.
just finish watching the movie and it amazing
So glad we finally got a great Predator movie, way better then these Hollywood money grabbers that weren't impressive at all.
Would love his direction with more of the Predator films
Well done actors!! Enjoyed it a lot!!
This cast is awesome, so it is the movie, but this interviewer bypass Jhane Myers, didn´t ask her a question been herself the producer of this film and a Comanche native...
Watching now!!!!! 👍🏾
Love the movie ,im Mexican with indian blood,so I'm freaking happy
