The Predator, another apparently cursed saga that could never be after the fantastic first installment, was not a fight but an attempt to reach that level. Well, Prey, perhaps the resurrection of a stylistic legend. To that end, he opted for a more budget-conscious project this time around, but the work behind it shows unparalleled love and respect for what Predator stands for.
Behind the scenes we have director Dan Trachtenberg, who has done a very effective job on 10 Cloverfield Street and is also responsible for some episodes of the brutal series The Boys. Trachtenberg was able to make the most of the natural setting in which the film takes place and was able to perfectly capture the mystique and mystery of Yautya.
Set 300 years ago on the Comanche Nation, the film is possibly an original prequel of sorts, featuring Naru, a smart young woman who wants to show her people that she can be the hunter and warrior of the majority of her tribe. about a fierce warrior. To do this, she will search for and capture a dangerous creature that has just fallen from the sky. Thus begins a game of cat and mouse and a fight to the death begins between Nara and the Predator.
It is worth mentioning the great presentation and introduction of the characters, the film is dedicated to showing us the customs and Comanche life to empathize with the Naruu. While Yautja's arrival on Earth happens in the first few minutes, another thing I like about him is that he's been hunting the local wildlife, not just humans, from the start. This is an aspect of carnivores that has never been shown before, but I'm glad to see the newbie start hunting other animals in the area. But don't worry, this is part of the Predator series, and after the initial stretch, the conflict between humans and Predators is not only diverse, but also brutal, bloody, violent and heartfelt. It goes a long way in showing mutilations, copious amounts of blood, and all kinds of executions.
The film has a strong sense of adventure mixed with horror and lots of action. All of this comes with a lot of sci-fi content. Granted, we're dealing with a creature we're all already familiar with, but its presence in this film brings the same mystery and mystery as the 1987 original. It's the same predator as always, but with subtle changes that make it more visceral. and mysterious. a primitive creature, since we are talking about its evolution 300 years ago to be considered a predator from 1987, which means that the most primitive aspects and weapons, although clearly recognizable, are considered more basic and basic. It's just as deadly as HDP, but makes the balance between Nara and Predator more balanced.
Amber Midthunder is the actress in charge of giving life to the main character and the truth that surrounds him Comanche Naru. She is a very friendly character. She exudes charm, and if I was told that she is the great-grandmother of the alien Lt. Ripley, she would believe it. Decisive, determined, skillful, warrior. She is perhaps one of the strongest female characters in recent years, like the Furiosa level in Fury Road. Dane DiLiegro is responsible for putting on the Predator suit, and the truth is that a guy of his size and stature deserves respect. In addition to them, we also find secondary characters played by, e.g. Stefany Mathias, Stormee Kipp, Dakota Beavers, Harlan Blayne Kytwayhat and Geronimo Vela, although in reality almost all of them are predator bait, similar to the one played by Naru's brother. There is also a good development. However, everyone did a great job.
Visually, the film is a sight to behold, and the natural setting in which it takes place is perfect for Jeff Carter to present us with exceptional frame-worthy photographs. Meanwhile, the dense forests and giant trees are the perfect place for the Yautja to begin their special kill. It's great to see Yautja move with such agility among the trees and vegetation.
Sarah Schachner's music is very effective and complements all the scenes in the film. In short, a film that will delight survival fans and is automatically the best film since the first part of the Predator saga. They are so similar and yet so different that it may show just how much this beloved and respected legend has to offer.
In short, this is a knight movie that is impressive, thrilling, and exciting from start to finish. For a complete experience and better immersion, I recommend watching it in Comanche with subtitles, although it is also available in Spanish or English. But for me the best is and always will be Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1987
