I really liked this movie! I finally got a chance to watch Prey on Hulu last night and within twenty minutes realized that this was better than any Predator based movie after the second one. This is about a Comanche girl named Naru that wants to hunt but is being trained to be a healer for her people. Her brother Taabe is the best hunter around and wants her to chill out. One day she and her dog, Sarii, see some lightning in the sky. She lets people know and they kinda ignore her. Her brother brings her along to hunt a lion that attacked someone and the other guys just play along with her. Naru finds a skinned and de-spined snake and sets up a trap for the lion. The lion comes up while in a tree face to face with it they both fall to the ground and she wakes back home. Her brother brought her back and eventually kills the lion.
I know I have not mentioned the Predator much and that is what makes this so good. It has been around. It skinned the snake after watching it attack a mouth. It fights a wolf after it attacked a rabbit. It attacks a bear after it chased Naru down. It was pretty awesome. Naru while out ends up caught in a damn trap and taken by some French trappers. They end up getting slaughtered and she escapes from the Predator a few times because it does not view her as a threat. Like, if you holding a gun or a sharp object its gonna get your ass. I don't wanna spoil much more of this but think you should check this out even if you haven't seen any Predator films. I think you could watch this, then parts one and two and have a pretty solid ass trilogy. Just ignore any other films after part two. Trust me. In movies where a monster does not talk I need to care about the other characters and this did a good job of that.
