A number of critics have gone out of their way to praise, in particular, the film's action sequences, with many calling it a worthy sequel to the franchise's first, Arnold Schwarzenegger-led 1987 installment.įor instance, in their review of the film for The Hollywood Reporter, Frank Scheck wrote, "The important thing is that the action sequences are staged with maximum skillfulness." For Bloody Disgusting, Megan Navarro similarly observed that "'Prey' takes its cues from 1987's 'Predator' in terms of simplicity and bloody action-horror." In their Empire Magazine review of "Prey," James Dyer also praised the film, writing, "Effortlessly the best 'Predator' movie since the original, 'Prey' proves that, against all expectation, there's life in the franchise yet."įor instance, in their review of "Prey" for The Jewish Chronicle, Linda Marric wrote, "Bolstered from the get-go by Midthunder's peerless delivery, the film feels like a true and conscious new departure away from the usual rehashing and repackaging of the same old ideas." For IGN, Tom Jorgensen similarly noted that "it's the ferocious, star-making turn from Amber Midthunder that stands as greatest strength." In their Variety review of "Prey," Owen Gleiberman also praised the film's exploration of Midthunder's Naru, writing, "The journey of Naru lends a semblance of emotional coherence that most of the 'Predator' films have lacked."Īltogether, the film's reviews indicate that "Prey" is the thrilling and well-made "Predator" follow-up that fans of the franchise have been waiting a long time for. Based on the film's early reviews, it's not hard to see why critics are falling head over heels for "Prey" either. In other words, if "Prey" manages to keep its score above 80%, then it'll end up being the highest-rated "Predator" film to date and only the third installment of the franchise to hold a Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
