The trailer looks like they mixed Star Wars and predator together... I will need to check the reviews once they are live.

Not sure I want to bother with this. I'll watch it eventually because it's Predator, but that trailer isn't instilling confidence.

At least Alien Romulus was entertaining and good in my books at leasr

this - I don’t even plan to watch. - enough messing up my childhood legents

From the same team as Prey?  Damn, they seem to have dialled this one in because it looks quite poor from that trailer.  Will watch it and reserve my final judgement though because I love how this franchise COULD be used.

Oh wow, I’m surprised. Fair play.

To be completely fair, in my experience franchise movies that pick up decades after a great original are rarely any good, so I wasn't expecting much from Prey in the first place.  I can't say that it was bad, just that I was.. bored.  It wasn't bad like the Alien franchise has become, or like what Disney did to Star Wars, or what happened to shows like Trek and Dr Who.  I just wish modern movie/TV show makers would make their OWN franchises instead of forcing their ideas on existing ones and invariably ruining them.

So from my perspective - it brought more to the backstory of the Predator.  It was a far cry of the schlocky AvP series.  There are plenty of new franchises, but I’m happy to revisit those if they add something. I mean, there’s a new He-Man movie coming out - and from what I hear it adds nothing and moreover repeats the problems of the 80s one - set on Earth! Why?????

I liked prey, probably wouldn't watch it again but it was an enjoyable romp

Proud moron here. 

I'm happy for anything related to Alien or Predator.  Except Alien 3.

I remember enjoying it, but it was not memorable at all. If someone asked me details…I’d just have a blank stare.
