Nach ersten Screenings auf der ComicCon in San Diego sind die Meinungen zum Film sehr positiv. Zwar soll Prey erst in der zweiten Hälfte anfangen so richtig Gas zu geben, dann aber auch ordentlich. Gelobt wurden auch Hauptdarstellerin (Amber Midthunder (The Marksman - Der Scharfschütze), die Regie von Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane) sowie der Härtegrad. Wir haben euch die entsprechenden Tweets unten eingefügt, verweisen auf den Start des Films bei Disney+ am 5. August und beenden diese News mit der offiziellen Synopsis:
Prey is as worthy & badass a Predator movie as we've seen since the original. Beautifully shot, tightly written, excellent characters, and some of the grossest, most wildly entertaining sci-fi action in the franchise. It's exciting, fun, powerful, & I can't wait to watch it again pic.twitter.com/bpXx7zDhUj

#Prey is the best #Predator movie yet. @AmberMidthunder is an absolute scene-stealing star, and @DannyTRS delivers a visceral, edge of your seat beast of a movie that also serves as a fascinating glimpse into the Comanche Nation. The Predator action rules! pic.twitter.com/abcEb5766r

#Prey takes forever to get going, but damn, the second half is a complete blast! #AmberMidthunder is awesome as Naru, she has such an amazing arc, and the #Predator is a fucking beast. Violent as hell and bloody brutal.
I really really enjoyed this one. @DannyTRS delivered! pic.twitter.com/sXmZTlfemQ

Hey, so #PREY is fucking *fantastic.* Amber Midthunder is incredible, and no prior PREDATOR fandom is necessary to enjoy — the joy here is watching very clever opponents face off against each other, and it's incredibly thrilling stuff. @DannyTRS knows what he's about. pic.twitter.com/6q5qribx2q

#PREY is, indeed, the best Predator entry since PREDATOR. All praise to Amber Midthunder who owns the screen against her alien foe. It’s back to the bloody basics of a thrilling hunt that delivers everything I want from a Predator flick in its brutally primal glory. pic.twitter.com/2QWpwOgwGI

#Preymovie absolutely slays. By setting it 300 years ago and stripping away the alien hunter’s high tech hunting gadgetry, we get a primal David vs Goliath story. Amber Midthunder is fierce, and Datoka Beavers rocks in his debut! It’s just an awesome gritty B-movie pic.twitter.com/ZaNsIXYSDc

I honestly think #Prey might be the best Predator movie. Not since the first movie, just best, period. It's got all the tense action, but it adds compelling characters, Amber Midthunder as Naru is a revelation, It's Predator broken down to its core elements and rebuilt better. pic.twitter.com/Hml1dhPuQl

#Prey slays. (Is this a thing?) @DannyTRS has crafted a whip-smart reinvention of the franchise and a moving, elegantly photographed coming-of-age tale (@AmberMidthunder is so great), with buckets of blood and super fun monster mayhem. Expected to enjoy it but wound up loving it. pic.twitter.com/WYRkzHD5qD
