While on the hunt to find a lion that’s been prowling about, Taabe barely tolerates Naru tagging along. Perhaps it might have something to do with that blazing streak of fire she saw in the sky earlier. Naru is the one who first notices that there’s a new creature on their land. She’s twice as tough as she looks, and three times more observant than the others. Naru is teased by the guys, who state that hunting is men’s work, but we learn she can hold her own in a fight. This gives the creature a kindred spirit of sorts in Naru ( Amber Midthunder), a young warrior who wishes to hunt like the males in her tribe, including her brother, Taabe ( Dakota Beavers). The Predator’s modus operandi is the same, however: it is a hunter and it’s looking for trophies of prey. This one is fitted with slightly retro versions of the weapons wielded by the late actor Kevin Peter Hall in the first film. “Prey” bills itself as an origin story of the first Predator alien to appear on Earth. Plus, this deserves a theatrical release.īut I digress. This is not to say that streaming services are bad, just that I always feel itchy recommending movies you need a contract to see. Was it because director Dan Trachtenberg’s sci-fi actioner didn’t have any major stars (besides the Predator, of course)? Was it because the screenplay by Patrick Aison takes place in 1719, making this a period piece? Or was it due to the fact that the protagonist is a woman and her kin are Native Americans, both of which buck the trend for movies like this? Considering the recent cancellations of films scheduled for upcoming release, I suppose I should be thankful that “Prey” can be seen anywhere, including on services to which I do not subscribe.
