Prey is a prequel to the original Predator film and set during the 1700's where a Comanche tribe is hunted by the original Predator. Starring a no name cast the film manages to make you care about the lead character and her battle to prove her worth. The cinematography is fantastic, this film really looks good and the CGI is not too intrusive. Where the film falls down for me is that it provides nothing really new aside from the setting. At least Predator 2 had the guts to send Danny Glover on board the alien ship at the end. Also, aside from the main character and her brother the other characters were not fully developed enough. The original Predator for example had a team full of differing characters all who made an impact and are memorable. In summary Prey is a worthy addition to the Predator franchise but other films in the series are better than this. Prey is a solid rather than spectacular film.
