Director: Dan Trachtenberg. Cast: Amber Midthunder, Dane DiLiegro. 99 min. Action/Fantasy.
- Finally, a Predator movie that, for lack of a better term, makes sense. Written as a prequel to the multitude of useless sequels after the brilliant 1987 original, this movie happens 300 years ago among Native-Americans.
- I say this one makes sense, because both the Native-Americans and the Predator species are considered "warriors", and the young heroine and her tribesmen's fighting skills are tested against the alien, to the point that occasionally you're not sure which side is the prey, and which the predator (hence, the movie's name). Secondly, one of the soldier characters in the original was a Native, and his resolve against the Predator there felt as if ... he'd heard of these stories before.
- The fact that the cast are Native-Americans and speak the actual Comanche language, and the breathtaking cinematography of Canadian panoramas, make this take on the Predator legend even more refreshing. Quite violent, but you shouldn't expect any less from this franchise.
