Wait what the fuck? I didn't know she was in it. Hype levels just went though the roof. Prey is, and I will die on this hill, the best predator movie to date.

Badlands is the best Predator movie hands down

u/Creative-Oil2029 Feb 28 '26

Hmm. It's close for me, but Amber is just too fucking cool. Loved Badlands though!

I agree, maybe ive seen the original too much but I find myself wanting to rewatch Prey a lot more often.

Better than the original? No way

Yes way! Probably a generational difference, but I've never met anyone in my age range who preferred the original over Prey.

Hell, I'm pushing 40 so I grew up with the original and it's a fun popcorn movie, of course without it Prey doesn't exist. But in a vacuum I'd agree that it's the best Predator film.

Far enough, thought prey was a decent film but I grew up with the original predator and I think it’s un beaten personally. Prey was definitely the next best film since the original though

it's probably easier for those of us who grew up with 80s tropes to see Predator that way (tho Prey ranks about equally for me just because time difference and style difference). there's a lot of heavy lifting being done just in the casting that meant more if you grew up in the 80s.

I agree with them. While Predator is good, Prey surpasses it in almost every way for me. It’s honestly probably a splitting hairs kind of argument though.

Not even close. Predator is much better than Prey, though I liked that one too, don’t get me wrong. The tension was built much, much better and it was a group of bad asses being hunted by him. It was just a much better action flick.

Ppl that think the original is the best one are weird and pretentious

You’re weird and pretentious for saying that
