Addie being ready to go full John Wick every time an animal is in any hint of danger is always a highlight.
If you notice, the predator takes out his prey in the way that his prey hunts and kills. The snake got the fangs of his blades. The wolf snuck up on the rabbit, so he snuck up on the wolf. The bear used its size and power to fight. So he fought the bear with his hands. He took out the native Americans with his own arrows. I thought that was a cool detail that most didn't notice!
Great catch !
It's crazy how strong and clever the feral predator is despite having no advanced equipment like the other yautja that we saw in previous films. I also find it crazy how he broke the bear's neck just by one haymaker
I liked how Naru's brother calls the Predator a cheater when it goes invisible after being overwhelmed
The reason they killed the bison and left the carcasses is because the skins were the valuable part. They didn’t care about waste. Hunting for hides basically wiped out the plains bison. Same thing happened with fur trappers and beaver in a lot of places.
We see a nearly identical scene of a slaughtered bison herd in the Kevin Costner film “Dances With Wolves”, a scene that I was immediately reminded of when I saw the skinned bison in this film.
And unfortunately their tongues ...what a waste
It was also a Federal policy to starve the native population.
Fun Fact: The dog was found at a shelter and was adopted specifically for the film. It had no previous screen training.
Hopefully they didn't put it down after they were done with it like the last time.
I wish someone would find and adopt me 😢😂
This was commented on every reaction I've seen for this movie. 😑
@KandiStomper maybe time to stop watching so many reactions of the same movie!?
@@insidiousbeatz48 its one of the few major movies we natives get to feel proud of, so i'm basically obligated. 🤣
Amber Midthunder, the lead actress who portrayed Naru, also starred in an X-Men series called Legion. It’s set in an alternate timeline from the films we’ve seen.
She was also in Roswell, New Mexico series.
You definitely need to watch Predator 2 to see the major connective thread between it and Prey! Glad you enjoyed this! Prey was my favorite movie last year!
Major? You mean that flint pistol appearing in Predator 2 at the end? Really major, lol.
@@Gylaran There is a comic book telling the real story about the pistol... The movie changed it. Adolini was a pirate and fought with the predator against other pirates.
@@kelvinneves7312 Yea, but no point to see a movies for something which is not there.
Great reaction as always. fun fact about the dog, he/she wasn't a trained hollywood dog, they rescued him from a shelter. he/she was only supposed to be in the movie for one or two scenes, but the crew loved him so much they kept writing scenes for him.
That's amazing! 😃
The dog is a Carolina Dog (breed).
All true, BUT, what was missed was that the director did some private scene screenings and got told overwhelmingly, "MORE DOGGO". So, more doggo scenes were added.
Her name is Coco, and that's not quite right, they managed to add more scenes of her in the *editing* process, but they didn't do any reshoots/rewrites and principal photography was long over by the time they were doing test screenings.
You and every other reactor: "Nothing better happen to that dog!" lol
Prey IMHO is the best of the Predator movies.
I actually really appreciate that the dog doesn’t die in this movie. It’s such a common trope that if a dog appears in an action/horror movie it’s going to end up dead, but they avoided that in this movie and it still works
Amber MidThunder is such a compelling actor. She did such a great job here. She basically carried the whole movie.
Def watch Predator 2, there's a cool connection between that film and this one. Really hoping they do a sequel to this one
C'mon. That's a pretty trash movie. Most of them are. Even the original is pretty cheesy, and more about Arnold.
This one is, by far, the best of this series.
@@AndyMatts44 Sounds like you're just hating more than anything rather than genuinely critiquing the films. If you've nothing valid to say without it coming from a place of blind negativity, don't bother saying anything.
There will be a Prey 2,but the next movie focuses on an African tribe.
@@indio4-215in order of greatness 1,2 then Prey.
The way they utilized the dog, and made everyone continuously fear for its safety throughout the movie was genius audience manipulation.
Addie throughout this whole movie: “IS THE DOG DEAD”
“I’m so glad nothing happened to the dog.” 😊
Um…..somebody needs to prepare her before she watches “John Wick”!
It's crazy that you watched this movie about a band of Comanche during the weekend of The Comanche Nation Fair. A few of the actors from Prey were at the fair last year. Glad you loved it! "Numunu!!" (that's Comanche for "the people") 😊
She was the predator, the alien was the prey, hence the movie's name. She was hunting it before she even knew what it was.
Why did they kill all the Buffalo? Colonel Richard I. Dodge in 1867 at Fort McPherson, Nebraska, said to a group of British hunters: "Kill every buffalo you can. Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone"
I learned that Naru's whisper is the Comanche way of summoning a demon. Something along those lines. Quite fitting for a predator
Yes actually when she whistles. In Navajo traditions it's taboo to whistle at night like many native tribes it's calling out the evil spirits when she tells the other hunters she saw a monster it's awesome that was included
No matter how many times I watch this movie that war cry after she kills the predator always gets to me. Straight chills!!
For once I would like to see the predator win one. This would have been the perfect opportunity. The main character wasn't overly likeable. I mean she relied on tricks and sacrificed others.. not the best opponent for the predator. From a moral stand point he deserved the win more than she did.
I remember seeing a review where they talked about a triumphant moment where the character just felt flat. When I saw that part, I knew that was the scene they were referring to & I couldn’t believe we were watching the same film, cause I had goosebumps all over..
for it falls flat a bit, bc she didnt really win through her own skills in the end - she won bc the predator apparently forgot how is own gear worked.
@@thahoule7924 maybe try watching the movie with your eyes open next time?
A Predator, a species FAR more advanced than humans, travels the stars to earth and wipes out an entire modern day elite special forces unit, but a 90 pound sTrOnG wOmAn from the 1800s with sticks and stones can handle one no problem because "they don't think she can"
Fucking CRINGE
Just to let you know Addie when the end credits are showing along with the Native American paintings. It shows the predator spaceship coming back to reward Navi for beating the Predator.
Her name is Naru
Love this movie! Its soo good and love how the actors and I think many in the Crew behind the scenes were actually native american!
Really a lot of love for detail went into this movie!
Predator 2 is a must.
“Should have listened to my story.” -Taabe
SO GLAD you reacted to this!
I loved this movie, it was interesting to see what technology and weapons the Predator would use in this time because everytime a Predator falls/dies they upgrade their tech and weapons. Plus that pistol is a nod to Predator 2
The reason this Predator has done so well compared to all the other sequels, was it's simplicity. A predator comes to Earth and is on the hunt. It's prey must survive and if they want to live, eventually become predators themselves. They don't try to throw all this other convoluted BS, like making the predators genetically enhanced, or giving humans access to some super predator tech. Just let the damn predator do what it does best. Be a lethal horrifying hunter.
And this has probably already been answered, but the reason the French hunters killed all the buffalo was for the pelts/skins only. The native Americans would be disgusted by this because they would leave so much to go to waste. And the native Americans never killed so many where the overall population would suffer or be hugely effected in a negative way. Where as the white hunters would kill so many that it seriously effected its population going in to the future.
Nice reaction Addie, and I enjoyed your look of smug satisfaction right there at the end!
2:37 If it wags, it lives. 😂
19:00 The American Buffalo nearly went extinct, because hunters back then (the 1800s) would kill them for their fur and tongue. The population went from around 30 million in 1800 to about 1000 in 1894, when it became illegal to hunt them.
You really need to check your facts on this. Fur trappers didn't kill buffalo because there was no money in it. Fur traders didn't even except buffalo hide. It was only the Indians that traded buffalo skins and meat. Beaver, rabbit, deer, racoon, muskrat and even squirrel pelts paid more and were easier to clean and transport. Ulysses S. Grant Authorized the killing of as many buffalo possible, he saw the destruction of buffalo as solution to the country’s “Indian Problem.”
The buffalo were hunted and decimated for their fur and as trophies but mainly to precipitate the genocide of the Native Americans. The "famous" Buffalo Bill took a large part of this massacre.
This animal was sacred for them and on which their survival largely depended.
@@supafly7145 Exactly what I said. The only ones that killed the buffalo for fur and meat were the Native Americans and they did not decimate herds. There simply was almost no trade done in buffalo hide. They were huge and heavy and had to be tanned and toted and were not worth the effort. There were not enough trophy hunters to make a dent in the American bison herds. It was simply government taking action against the Indians.
"Kill every buffalo you can. Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone." - Colonel Richard Dodge
The pyramid stacks of buffalo skulls they left behind are almost unfathomable to conceive today.
Predator 2 was the first time we saw the hunter’s projectile and solid weapons, more used than the Plasma Caster in the original. That’s why it was worth seeing it first. The novelty of _Prey_ is seeing the “other” guided weapons of the hunter, similar to the shoulder cannon but not an energy blaster.
25:10 Her brother is yelling "NOT FAIR!!" when the Predator goes invisible again during their fight
Great reaction. So glad you liked it.
I loved her victory cry at the end!
Addie's first reaction to the Net Ball was great!!!
This is a really good addition to the Predator world.
When Naru ended up in the mud and in a tangle of tree roots, it was just like how Arnold ended up in the original. I was waiting for the Predator to show up and not see her, and then it didn't happen. I was waiting for it and was happy it didn't.
Also, Addie didn't notice Predator ships returning in the end credit scene...
The net that was used by the trappers to try and catch him,goes back the first movie,how they tried to use a net to capture him.
I share the same sentiment in regards to this film and the first one as well Addie.
all any movie ever needs is a dog....that survives...and all the girls will like it just for that fact :>
That's a generalization. Some girls like cats more.
As a side note - this movie actually ties in with the ending of Predator 2 in an Easter Egg sort of way in the same way that Predator 2 set the ground work for the Alien vs. Predator movies.
I love this Movie!!
Hi Addie!😊 This director does intend to take the Predator franchise in a different direction. Whether that is The Predator in different periods of time, we do not know. The hunters are French Fur Traders. That is why they skinned the buffalo. There is a tie in between this film and "Predator 2" (1990) starring Danny Glover of "Lethal Weapon" fame. You might like that one, Addie. You do get to learn more about the Predator in a different setting. Great reactions to this very well-made prequel that has fans excited, Addie!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
They French were called fur trappers for a reason. Traps don't destroy the hide like bullets, arrows, spears or knives. Fur traders (the ones who bought and sold pelts) did not deal with buffalo hide. Buffalo hide is too thick, heavy and difficult to tan and transport and simply not worth the effort. No point in pretending that a fantasy film is historically accurate.
Oh great can't wait for more shoehorned strong woman bullshit 🙄
This is the first time that I have seen the English version of this movie. I have previously only watched the Commanche language version.
Addie, I concur. 😅
Legit reaction
Love this movie, best follow-up to original Predator.
At least as good as the original Predator. Which one you like best, I think, comes down to which genre you prefer before it goes full-frontal sci-fi horror. Predator was an action movie, Prey was a coming-of-age period drama.
Personally, I think both are equally good.
I love how you mentioned Naru growing and learning from her mistakes as the film goes on, but she mirrors the Predator in that respect. The Predator, despite getting injuries in pretty much every fight he's in, gets more and more overconfident and cocky, learning that there's nothing on this planet that can really challenge him, which makes him totally unprepared for Naru to do exactly that. Naru learns exactly how outmatched she is, and learns how to narrow that gap. It's genius, and rather beautiful.
We all loved this movie. Great reaction as well
They are fur traders. They killed all the Buffalo for their fur skins to trade. -OG
I was literally thinking about this movie this morning.
it was so sad when she loses her brother… I think of my little sister
They really did a strong woman right. I would not fuck with her. Geez. Such a badass
@Addie Great reaction. I’m N8v American and the best part of the movie is the Sister Brother relationship. It reminds me of my Grandkids. That is exactly their relationship.
I found myself thinking that the brother didn't have to die. It would have been nice to see them both defeat the predator together. :)
Great movie ! 😂🇺🇸🇮🇹🇲🇽
More of a prequel to predator 2 There's direct links to that movie ...The predator species themselves can live thousands of years This particular predator is learning its hunting skills ,When they rack up more kills they'll upgrade their weaponry to , if they survive ...Yeah I prefer this movie over any of the other predator movies.. And I grew up with the original ... Yeah you should watch the end credits it's moving paintings there's a twist at the end
This was the “brother’s” first acting gig, and he nailed it.
Yeah, gotta say I'm actually really looking forward to him doing more work. Honestly...the female lead has the weakest acting of all, but it's still plenty competent. It's her first starring role, though, so I'm betting it was just an issue of pressure and not really knowing what to do with the spotlight. I don't hold it against her, and it didn't really impact the movie negatively, in my opinion.
But really, everyone did a pretty impressive job, for being really a big pack of nobodies. I really want more of all of them in other movies. Breath of fresh air, really. Even the dog who was just a shelter rescue. That dog acted the fuck out of its part.
Great reaction Addie, there is a call back/ forward to Predator 2 in this movie. I hoped you would have watched that one before this one. I love all your reactions tho!! 🙂❤
AMN, sHOULDA WATCHED PREDATOR 2 FIRST. this one bears all other predator movies
Honestly your missing out by not checking Predator 2, such an underrated instalment and has a connection to this film.
Fuck. The dog was the MVP. Weil. Girl boss was the MVP.
Great movie and reaction! I Luv this movie!❤ Amber Midthunder nails the role of monster hunter. Great start to October! Im glad you enjoyed this not to scary not to gory Predator movie! I feel its better than the previous sequels in this franchise! JMO. Luv ya Addie ❤💛
Addie would be more scared if the movie was about a snake hunting people, lol
Addie: "I think I might like this one more than the first Predator".....
Seventeen Year Old Me: "Yeah, whatever......."
Fifty-Three Year Old Me: "Yup."
Addie do you take movie suggestions ? If so I have one Bridge to Terabithia.
The buffalo hunters would only take the hide and tongue and leave the meat behind. Such a disgraceful waste of an animal
Hi Addie...I recommend "Predator 2" ...it's connected and I think you gonna like it
Definitely watch Predator 2 and Predators (2010)
a fun fact, the composer, Sarah Schachner, did the music for 3 assassin's creed games
Great movie. The only Predator film I had seen before this was the 2010 film, PREDATORS.
I enjoyed this movie too!
lol, thanks for making me feel really fucking old :D
In an age where prequels, sequels, reboots and spin offs have taken over Hollywood, Prey really does shine and stand out above so many others that really didn't do anything for their respective franchises
Lots of great references to the original predator movie. "If it bleeds we can kill it!"..., Covered in mud resting in tree branches and smoking cigars. Haha 😆❤💛
There are three movies in between and two AvPs that you should also watch and weapons she gets from the hunters are shown a bit briefly in predator 2 which came early and the other movies came on much later (you should see all the movies so 5 more movies)
Great reactions. If you like this you should watch "Alien Vs Predator" with Lance Henriksen ( The Terminator and Bishop from Aliens ).
you really need to watch predator 2 now. hope to c that and hopefully u will like it
It was just a nice looking show without any sense.
u should watch he hole credits painting animation, it teases something
21:10 Yeah, that’s a horrible way to go. I feel sorry for that guy.
Check the Predator 2 (1990), you find some very interesting easter egg in this. ;)
You need to watch Predator 2. Why? Because it links to the story of Prey at the end of Predator 2. You'll appreciate that fact. You'll just have to watch it to see how. -OG
Interesting fact. Sari is not the dogs name it Comanche for dog.
This is my favorite Predator movie and is most re-watchable for me. There are so many great moments and the lead in it is really amazing and believable. So glad you did this one Addie. You are one of my top reactors anyway so this was just icing on the cake.
Theres a lot of little details that can be missed on the first watch
thought was only one who thought was best one
By FAR the best movie in the Predator series. The score, the cinematography, the action sequences, the creativity, and all the call outs to the previous movies were perfect. I also liked that the protagonist of this movie was a girl. The only protagonist in the series showing that the chicks have the brains to fend off a predator. This movie was lights out!
This has a little "Easter egg" in it that directly ties it to Predator 2. It's a decent sequel and it has the great Danny Glover starring in it.
Which is why I believe there will be another Predator sequel to see how they got the gun
@@scottdarden3091 The end credits kind of explain it but not the details of the fight.
@@scottdarden3091the credits explained it. The comic is no longer canon, stfu.
The weapons of this predator were meant to be not as high tech as the 87’ predator does.
So many people say this but I really don’t believe it. I think the technology is just different because this is a different low rank Predator or Yatuja that was sent to earth for the reason of canvassing and studying its wild life. I think low rank predator= low rank weapons. Thinks like the plasma shoulder cannon and the mini-nuke gauntlet are only available to the high-ranking hunters. Or at least that’s my theory.
@@A_Planner_and_a_DreamerPredators also have an honor code, to play fair,match technology as close as it can for their hunt.
Watch the other Predator movies too! And the Alien ones!
You might like (Predators). Also, there is something in (Predator 2)
that relates to (Prey). This reaction.
Thank you Addie for your videos and comments/observations. Your genuine reactions and insights to your wide array of movie genres is always a welcome sight to my TH-cam feed. Thank you for your weekly posting. Very cool pupper.
I did like this movie better than the original. My apologies to Arnold. Amber Midthunder can run circles around Arnie.
Love your reaction
YES!!
I got this on preorder from AMAZON!
It will be Tuesday, along with Stephen King's THE MIST, Talk To Me, and Don't Look Now.
Prey was okay, in my opinion. Obviously, Prey has better graphics than the original Predator but Prey still has a few issues that I have a problem with in order for me to 100% like this movie. The original Predator is still my absolute favorite. -OG
Awesome movie, I highly recommend predators 2010 that one, this one and the original are the highlights of this series
Sunday with Addie. What a great day!
There’s no shame in liking this film more than the original. It is that good.
Yep. If the original never came out, this would be in my top five "alien sci-fi" movies.
Scott, it's a woke, feminist movie. hated it.
@@user-fs5sx2uh2h That's reaching. I guess Alien AND Aliens AND Alien 3 were all feminist movies as well.
Oh, I see the bot user name. Troll harder, China/Russia.
@@crewchief5144 Lol no way
@@user-fs5sx2uh2h Oh no there's a woman in a movie, my fragile self-esteeeeeeeeeem!
The second part would have been important because the pistol that appeared in it plays a role here.
If you had waited for the endcredits, you would have gotten a little insight into what happened next.
You should watch "Predators" 2010 next, its also a good one, its basically a decade or two after the events of the first 2 movies.
I second this. That one is the most "sci-fi" to me in the entire franchise. The title has multiple meanings and the story has a nice, Twilight Zone-y twist. I actually rank it as my second favorite in the series.
I dream this movie is the start of wonderful sequels. Like the comics, Predator thru time hunting in World War 1, American civil war, Vikings and such. If you like this style, beautifully made indie short Predator: Dark Ages involving knights.
