The choice to largely remove English dialogue was a stroke of genius in addition to the general "show, don't tell" approach the editor takes with Prey. There is a lot of dialogue in the original that feels tacky and tends to overexplain when the actor's physical performances are telling the audience all they need to know. Another choice I have to commend is not showing Predator on screen until a bit into the movie - it reminded me a lot of how the shark was teased in Jaws.
The audio and video quality is top notch as always. I think this cut is considerably better than the original.
