And whilst it worked to some degree (my grandma liked it) it wasn't enough of a step in either direction. AVP on the other hand used references to the older films, but then completely threw the canon out the window and went for a larger fanbase. Where Predators was a film that you didn't need to have watched all the others in order to follow, it was still fundamentally a Predator film, aimed at the Predator-loving market. Ultimately it's downfall came from some poor dialogue, and trying to reach a larger audience. Not because it was good, just because it was panned so fucking hard by critics! I think this is mostly due to the fact that it was being compared to both the Alien and Predator series, which is fair enough, but it was never going to be what either of those films was. I can honestly say, that this is one of the most under-rated films of 2004. Rating: PG-13 (Language|Horror Images|Slime and Gore|Violence) Making matters worse, another extraterrestrial species, known as Predators, arrive to hunt the other aliens, with the humans caught in the middle of the conflict. Led by a tough guide, Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan), Weyland and his team uncover a pyramid, but they also find malevolent parasitic aliens. Here's how to watch Hulu from wherever you are.When the wealthy and ambitious Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen) funds an expedition to Antarctica, he hopes to find a mysterious source of heat that has been detected. Better yet, viewers in the US can watch Prey free with Hulu's 30-day trial. If you like intense, axe-based action Prey could be perfect weekend viewing.
The Independent is similarly smitten, adding that Prey is a "brutal, pulse-quickening Predator prequel" that "succeeds by ditching the nostalgia". The Telegraph says that the film offers up "the most thrilling opponent the Predator's had since Arnold Schwarzenegger" and raves about Midthunder's "thunderously bloody" performance as Naru.
Prey compares very favourably to John McTiernan’s 1987 film. The movie follows skilled female warrior/badass Naru, played by actress Amber Midthunder (herself a member of the Fort Peck Sioux Tribe), as she fights to protect her tribe against an high-tech alien and smash the patriarchy. The fifth installment of the Predator franchise winds the clock back 300 years, to a time when the Comanche rule the forests and prairies. Cast: Amber Midthunder as Naru, Dakota Beavers as Taabe, Dane DiLiegro as Predator, Stormee Kipp as Wasape, Michelle Thrush as Aruka
