EVERYTHING shits on that movie. Shane Black must be at the brink of an overdose to think that kind of shit is good. Magic autism the next stage of evolution - what the living fuck.

A little late to respond to this and not trying to pick a scab but it's been clearly established that the Predator was outsmarted and/or the human won because of dumb luck.
Arnie setup a trap, it saw through it, he lucks out and it's right under a massive log.
In Predator 2, Glover wears it down, had the added benefit of knowing where it was and it was unable to use it's cloak against him plus he uses it's weapons against it. Ultimately it came down to him tricking it that he's been defeated. "That's right asshole! SHIT HAPPENS!"
In Predators, Brody frees another Predator and the OG Predator fights the Berserker, it loses but wears it down and gives Brody the opportunity to setup his plan and blend into the environment with fires.
The 2018 one was just a bunch of garbage.
I think how the chick beats it in this film is in line with the rest. But I will agree it's stupid how it dies.

Movie was pretty meh and the predator dies at the end because he's an idiot that doesn't know how his own equipment works. I liked the part where he punched the bear though.

There's nuggets of cool things in Prey and I appreciated a couple of things. I'm always a fan of stories that have aliens versus a more primitive period culture. The girl wasn't as overpowered as I expected, but the axe on a rope thing and just how teeny tiny she was bugged the Hell outta me. It was probably the one time I really disagreed with RLM so hard. "It doesn't matter that she's 100 pounds, it's just a mooooovie." So what. Even Brody got shredded for Predators. What's her excuse? If the physicality of the lead instantly kills any suspension of disbelief, it's really hard to get into the flick. Especially when it's going for a realistic setting and time period.

I just wanna refer back to that: Brody got fuckin ripped, holy shit. He is the last man you'd expect to see all muscle action hero like, I mean this mother fucker was known for The Pianist. Talk about a transformation.

The Predators in AvP are crushed by the Xenos while they are unarmed essentially but one makes it out and kills a Queen while he has been impregnated by a facehugger. The Predator in the first movie dispatches nearly two straight CIA/Delta Force teams on his own. The Predators in Predators take on a squad of the world's deadliest killers on a planet where River Ghosts and other monsters are lurking and are even hunting other Predator species. The Predator in AvP:R takes on a host of Xenos and a Predalien by himself.
Predators are tough as hell.
This Predator in Prey is beaten by a 100lbs weakling girl who nearly died to a bear earlier in the film. And was only saved because the Predator happened to be EXACTLY there and also spared her life. She figures out the Predator's weaponry in a way that Delta Force commandos could not. She uses magic herbs to lower her body temperature to the point where alien technology from a species that has FTL travel cannot even detect her. This Predator in Prey can lift a full sized 1000lbs brown bear with one hand but cannot dispatch a 100lbs starving and exhausted female.
RLM are just fags for stuff like Star Trek and C level horror movies or whatever. I doubt that they even paid attention to Prey or half of the other modern movies that they review simply because fans expect them to watch popular stuff. You can tell when they like a franchise and do not based on their enthusiasm for the review.

Yeah, I rewatched all the Predator flicks. I forgot how fucking jacked he got for that movie. I remember being like "Lol, the dopey dude from Pianist? Yeah, whatever". But he went all in on it.

So why the fuck would a Predator come to the Americas to find the ultimate prey in the 18th century? I can buy one going to a big city, or going into a brutal conflict zone because you'll find badass fuckers there. Not the middle of nowhere.
Also I don't get what's up with the actress, the poster makes her look like a nigger, her profile says she is a native american and her image makes be as much as exotic as Elizabeth Warren.

Naru was doing ninja backflips off of trees she'd put spikes on, causing the Yautja to crash into them chasing after her, and then she chopped its arm off, all while understanding enough about its technology to set a suicide trap for it, and just happened to calculate exactly where to place the helmet so it'd work.
Never mind Predator 2's 7 years from now apocalyptic timeline, Prey had a young Indian woman figure out how to trick the Yautja's helmet with berries and then use it against the Yautja to kill it in the span of several hours.
She's a genius!!!1!
I disagree but maybe I missed something, which part of her victory was dumb luck exactly?
Hell, even the way Dutch discovers how to hide from the thermal vision was luck. He crawled through mud.
Naru on the other hand witnessed the French trapper go unnoticed after she gave him those berries, and deduced that the berries hide you from the big monster's magical helmet lmfao, and incorporated them into her plan to beat it.
Those are skills of observation that almost rival the Yautja's, who somehow can't see steel traps because "muh thermal" but can see cold-blooded animals.
Such a stupid fucking movie, at every level.

I'm guessing the writers didn't want a Predator in Europe during this time period (too many white people). If that was the case, they could have done 18th Century China or Japan.

The fact that the darts homed in on the laser even when fired in the complete opposite direction while the Predator just stood there waiting. It would have made more sense had it used the Disc from Predator 2 or those shurikans it used against the trappers. You know, something that was established has homing abilities.

No Naru witnessed them miss (based on where the lasers are pointing at) earlier in the film, and deduced that's how they function. You're saying you thought it was luck that the helmet was placed where it was, with its lasers pointing at the mud pit trap?
The entire theme of Prey is that she's underestimated by everybody. She's clever. Not lucky.

It's ironic that female Predators have yet to be featured on film since comics have depicted them as larger than the males.

Big Mama =/= all female Yautja
In all the comics I've read, female Yautja are usually much more slender and around the same height as the males.

I hope we get like a junior kids version of Predator next. That way we can do one for Alien too. And it will culminate in the crossover of Child Alien VS Child Predator.
