Looking at the trailer of this movie, I was struck to see that the movie is a prequel. This is interesting I want to see this. It lived close to my expectations.

A single Predator is released to the Great Plains of America in 1719. A Comanche girl named Naru (Midthunder) wants to hunt with the men of the tribe, but they will not let her. Naru sees a red streak in the sky and wants to investigate. She doesn't know that she will come face to face with the Predator.

The director, Dan Trachtenberg, I have known for years. I listened to his video podcast, The Totally Rad Show. I enjoyed it. He also did an awesome Portal short movie a decade ago. I am impressed at this movie with the cinematography, the action, and how badass Naru was at the end of the movie.

Knowing the Predator lore, you have some instances of why would the Predator do these. Why did it look different? People say that it was a feral Predator. Okay. There was major problem with the CGI. Especially with the CG animals in the movie were rough.

The movie is enjoyable that makes up for the subpar, dumpfire sequels that came out the last decade.

Rating: 7/10
