PREY movie review and explanation

A predator's first trip to Earth. As a female, Naru is supposed.

 

Naru also a Skilled warrior And wants to go out hunting with the men of her band when a lion Appears, nor who helps the. Men track and kill the lion, although she's knocked out before she can actually kill it. Nauru continues to see signs Of the predator's. Presence, including its ship within the clouds,Tracks on the ground, And some of the wildlife it skins.

When Nara tries to warn the men of her band. She refers to the Predator as a muppet.A muppet Was a fur covered giant who roamed the earth and used a full grown tree.

Children were told Tales of the Muppets if they misbehaved with parents, scaring them by saying that a muppet would come and eat them if they didn't stop crying or continued to misbehave. It's kind of like the Comanche version of The Boogeyman.

 

The hunters all laugh at Naru. Because they think she's chasing a children's fairy tale. The next.One Day, Naru goes out to track the Predator and comes across.A field of skin buffalo. She then.Stops to pray at.One of the dead buffalo. This is because.Buffalo are seen as very spiritual creatures to the Comanche and symbols Of honor and generosity. Their horns and hides were often used in the creation of religious artifacts. Seeing so many killed and skinned Was a very emotional moment for Naru. After paying her respects and surviving a run in with a predator, Naru Ends up being captured By a group of French men that have a History in the Predator mythos. Naru eventually obtains a very specific pistol that belonged to One Rafael Adelina. If that name sounds familiar, it's because it's From the Predator's.

 A pirate captain searching for lost treasure off the coast of Africa during a mutiny. The crew ran into a predator elder known as Grey.Who essentially helped Adelani by Slaughtering his crew When it came time for Adelani to Fight the Predator as the Last man standing, he was shot in the back by a nearly deceased crewmate. Before Adelina died, he Gave Grey back his personal.

 

Grey back appears and gives the same pistol to Harrigan as a trophy of sorts for his successful kill of the city hunter. While the pistol showing up in prey changes the canon set up in the comics. If there's a sequel to Prey, it can fix things somewhat so that Grey Back is still gifted the pistol so he can give it to my Kerrigan. In 1997.

The Frenchman captured Naru, but also managed to capture her brother.While they're both tied to a dead tree to be used as bait to lureOut the predator. Her brother jokes about Naru choosing the Predator as her kutumela.The Kutumela is brought up multiple times throughout the movie. When Comanche come of age, they take part in the kutumela.Which is a rite of passage.

 

It takes several years to prepare for the kutumela and usually involves their first hunt, killing a buffalo in the case of prey. Nara chooses a lion, but when she fails to kill it, she then chooses the predator. As you might expect, the movie ends.

She came across a quagmire which acts much like quicksand, where she almost drowned. She was able to escape by using her makeshift Katsu game like weapon, which is an axe attached to a rope. Toward the end of the movie, she comes back across this area. While preparing for the final encounter with the Predator.Naru uses what looks like orange hibiscus.

 

Flower petals to lower her body temperature. Since predators hunt with a form of infrared vision. If something looks cold, they assume it's dead. This happens multiple times throughout the movie in the real world. Hibiscus are known.To lower your body temperature, so.This actually checks out. Although when the predator attacked.

A snake Earlier in the film.It doesn't Actually work. Since snakes are cold blooded. But we'll just assume it happened to be warm at the time and let that one slide.Naru does a great deal Of damage To the Predator while, She's somewhat hidden from his view Due to her lowered body temperature. This allows her to grab his headgear, which serves as a targeting system for his dart like projectile attack. This predator.

From the.1700s isn't Quite as high tech as the ones we see in the other movies nearly.300 years Later. Just like Americans move from bows and arrows to semi-automatic.Rifles and other high tech weaponry, the weapons the predators use have also advanced. Over time. Naru arranges a targeting helmet.So that it's pointing toward the quagmire. She then Lures the predator into the quagmire and Baits it into shooting his projectile weapon Without the targeting helmet on the projectiles.

Miss Naru Because remember, her body temperature is still lowered, but no matter where the predator shoots, the projectiles always land wherever the laser sights of the targeting helmet are pointing. Naru noticed this earlier in the movie when the predator's helmet was previously knocked off. With the time Naru had to set the.Trap, the helmet was now Pointing directly at the Predator, allowing Naru to.Kill him with his own weapon.

 When Nari returns to her band with the, Predator's head, she is given The honour of war chief, which was previously given to her brother, who perished at the hands of the Predator.And traditional Comanche bands The war chief was the person who led the war party or hunting party.It was almost always a man, which is why it's so significant.That Naru now holds.This position. She begins.To celebrate as the credits.
