Prey reddit1/4/2024 Naru’s fight to be taken seriously by her tribe as a warrior is a strong throughline, and that’s a good thing, because hers is the only one the script takes any significant time to focus on. It gnaws at Naru throughout the film - more as those around her continue to look past her obvious skill - and it’s that frustration that fuels Amber Midthunder’s take on the character. But not even her brother Taabe (Dakota Beavers), who leads the Comanche’s hunters, believes that to be possible. Like her warchief father, she’s a fighter at heart and intent on completing the Comanche hunter’s rite of passage: to hunt something that’s hunting her. Prey tracks the battle for the tribe’s survival through a blisteringly paced, take-no-prisoners tear through the Great Plains while both honoring the roots of the franchise and serving as the perfect entry point for newcomers who want to see what all this spine-ripping, laser-guided goodness is about.Īt the heart of the Comanche’s conflict with the Predator is Naru (Amber Midthunder), a teenage girl ridiculed by her family and peers for not being content to harvest crops for the rest of her life. But you’d be mistaken to underestimate the Comanche’s odds. It’s an intriguing setup, to take a villain whose initial appearance was defined by how easily he tore through a pack of meatheads armed to the teeth with guns and explosives and transpose it into a time where its targets don’t even have those tools to rely on. Set over 250 years before Dutch’s first encounter with that ugly son of a b!t¢#, Prey finds the Predator (Dane DiLiegro) landing in the middle of Comanche Nation for a blood-soaked trophy hunt. After the middling reception of 2018’s The Predator, director Dan Trachtenberg ( 10 Cloverfield Lane, Portal: No Escape) takes the franchise back to the basics in Prey… all the way back to the basics.
