The Predator franchise cannot claim likewise. The first film in the Jim and John Thomas-created series – the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring flick – may have wowed audiences with its suspenseful moments, strong and simple characterization, and over-the-top set pieces upon initial release. Multiple sequels, though, have failed to deliver a worthy follow-up to the testosterone-fuelled sci-fi action original, diminishing the Predator movie series in the eyes of many.
Narratively, then, Prey doesn't deviate from the Predator series' tried and tested plot formula – i.e. a Predator arrives on Earth to hunt humans who, though outgunned and initially out-thought, eventually succeed in defeating the Yautja warrior. That's not to say Prey's story is perfect. Viewers hoping for a subversive or wholly original plot may be disappointed that Prey is a retread of what's come before, albeit a story set in a different time period and location. There's even a scene involving different creatures preying on one another – for a film called Prey, one starring a creature called a Predator no less, it's unashamedly but eye-rollingly on the nose.
In fact, the decision to almost exclusively hire Native American and First Nation talent in front of and behind the screen is proof of the filmmakers' desire to faithfully represent Indigenous people and their way of life. From Indigenous actors including Dakota Beavers and Stormee Kipp, to Comanche consultant Juanita Pahdopony and executive producer Jhane Myers, Prey makes every effort to reproduce Comanche society on screen as truthfully as possible.
