This isn’t such a big deal when it comes to the CGI trimmings on the Predator himself if an invisibility effect doesn’t look completely realistic, that’s fine, because, well - it’s not supposed to.

The issue here is the limited VFX budget, which is a problem for a movie packed with nonstop confrontations between flesh-and-blood actors and CGI adversaries. The weaknesses in "Prey" aren’t the fault of the filmmakers - or of Midthunder, who gives her all to both the physical and emotional aspects of her performance. Director Trachtenberg does especially well in creating images that juxtapose the Comanche way of life with the Predator’s futuristic gadgetry, finding moments of beauty in spurts of glowing green blood and laser sights focused on foreheads coated with war paint. "If it bleeds, we can kill it," Taabe growls at one point, as badass an action-movie tagline as there’s ever been. "Prey" is positively propulsive in its second half, when the Predator, played by 6’9" former basketball player Dane DiLiegro, finally shows itself and the spine-ripping, ax-throwing action really kicks into gear.

That’s typical of "Prey" as a whole: The film is well thought out in every aspect, from its depiction of Comanche culture, medicine and language - the film is largely in English with some Comanche sprinkled in, but a full Comanche dub will be available on Hulu - to the staging of its fight scenes, which are just shaky enough to hide the rough edges while still allowing the viewer to follow what’s happening. But while the character dynamics in the story - the stubborn younger sister, the doubting older brother - are nothing new, they’re nevertheless effective, both as a standalone story and as part of the broader "Predator" mythology.
Naru’s story is a classic underdog narrative. But for the most part, "Prey" is an elemental David and Goliath story, one that pits bows and arrows against high-tech weaponry and human ingenuity against alien arrogance.

An appearance from some hostile French trappers helps fill out the story to feature-length, as does a patch of quicksand and a field full of skinned buffalo.

What follows is an R-rated version of a YA survival novel (think Gary Paulson’s "Hatchet"), combined with a sci-fi action narrative built around a series of chase scenes. He dismisses her warning, but his indifference only hardens Naru’s determination, and she sneaks out that night to go capture the creature herself.
