Ein noch junger Predator namens Dek wird von seinem eigenen Clan verstoßen. Die anderen sehen in ihm keinen starken, furchtlosen Krieger heranwachsen. Damit ist er für die Gemeinschaft wertlos, da niemand glaubt, dass Dek eine glorreiche Zukunft bei der Jagd bevorsteht. Fortan muss er also alleine auf einem abgelegenen Planeten klarkommen. Doch dort bleibt er nicht lange alleine. Dek stößt auf Thia mit der er eine unverhoffte Verbündete findet. Von nun an gehen die beiden also gemeinsam auf die Jagd und treffen einen weiteren Weggefährten. Zu dritt müssen sie sich schließlich auch einer scheinbar übermächtigen Bedrohung stellen. Im Laufe ihres gemeinsamen Abenteuers werden sie beste Freunde und lernen, einander auch in ausweglosen Situationen zu vertrauen. Dek wächst dabei als Jäger über sich hinaus und lernt, richtig gut zu jagen.

- rg9400vor 5 TagenPredator Badlands was a huge surprise to me. I liked Dan Trachtenberg's earlier Prey movie, but I was a bit more meh on Predator: Killer of Killers. This movie really goes in a different direction compared to the formula of the franchise. Now look, yes this movie is predictable. At a high level, the plot beats are tropey and cliched. It has a Disney-esque ending. I won't disagree with any of those criticisms. However, this movie works so well in the scene-by-scene moments that I don't really care. I love that this time, we get the perspective of the Yautja, and I like that the character has an actual arc even if it is a bit predictable. The movie has a very large man vs nature component, and the looks and sounds and mechanics of all the alien flora and fauna are truly impressive. Trachtenberg does a great job of having a diverse group of threats (not over relying on a single one like Jurassic Park sometimes does), and he also helps build upon those mechanics later in the movie. They also just look really cool. That's part of the appeal of this movie. It just looks cool. It does have a lot of CGI, but the action choreography, soundtrack, and setting all give it such a slick presentation that it all worked for me. There are some setpieces that felt fresh and innovative beyond just being a bunch of blood and fore. Finally Elle Fanning's dual roles are both fantastic. She's particularly great as Thia, and that character gives the movie a unique buddy dynamic that I was not expecting at all. I would also note that there are a bunch of Alien Easter Eggs throughout the movie, but outside of one glaring one near the end, none of them were even remotely in your face or distracting. Overall, I think Predator Badlands is a surprisingly fun sci-fi action adventure movie that will leave you very entertained.
- Chris C12. November 2025Flipping the script and making the yautja/predator the protagonist works much better than you might expect. There are plenty of fun action scenes and even some genuine humor sprinkled in. I appreciated that only the head of the main character was CGI and practical effects were used for the body and the CGI used in general was very good. But there were just too many "wow, that sure was super convenient" things going on to pull me in quite as much as I hoped. Still, Dan Trachtenberg's first entry "Prey" was superb and this one is good enough that he should keep the keys to the Predator franchise for now.
- Shaydeknight7. Januar 2026I went into Predator: Badlands expecting to hate it, but I had a genuinely good time watching it. This is also the first live-action Predator film that meaningfully explores Predator culture. We see how they live, how they speak, and how they see themselves. I am still conflicted about demystifying the Yautja this much, but I also recognize the necessity. The franchise has already exhausted the "Predator hunts humans, humans learn its tricks and kill it" structure. If Predator movies are going to continue, they have to evolve. Killer of Killers proved we were ready for a shift. Badlands takes a risk and mostly delivers. What surprised me most is how well the Alien and Predator universe overlap works here. Setting the story in the far future was a smart move. It creates enough distance from the classic Predator formula while letting the shared mythology breathe. The Weyland/Yutani presence and the android characters feel adjacent rather than stapled on, and it would not shock me if this film is quietly paving the way for a future crossover that actually understands both franchises instead of smashing action figures together. The universal translator plot device is an obvious cheat, but it is a sensible one. It allows the film to communicate ideas and relationships that would otherwise be impossible without endless subtitles or narrative gymnastics. As a storytelling tool, it works, and it never feels like the film is pretending it is anything other than a convenience. Yes, the movie leans hard into familiar tropes. The power of friendship is there. The feral outsider learning through companionship is there. The fact that they had to choose the "runt" Predator to focus on was to be expected. There is more than a little Predator Rambo Tarzan energy running through the whole thing. None of this is subtle, and none of it is new. But it is executed with enough sincerity and momentum that I did not care. I enjoyed it. I ate it up. What really sells the film is its willingness to let the Predator be something other than a slasher monster. This Predator is still dangerous, still violent, still formidable, but it is also driven, wounded, and striving. That shift will annoy purists who want the creature to remain unknowable and terrifying. I understand that reaction. Mystery is powerful. But stagnation is death, and Badlands refuses to stagnate. OK, it's not a perfect film, and it gets a bit cheesy, sure, but it's earnest where some will want brutality. It is emotional where some will want dread. It's confident in its choices, and it feels like it knows exactly what kind of movie it wants to be. I expected a misfire. What I got was a fun and energetic Predator movie that proves the franchise still has room to grow, provided it's willing to take risks.
- theLillyPad2. Januar 2026This is EXACTLY the sort of movie you envisioned when you heard "Disney Predator Movie". It's vapid, tamed, neutered, watered down, quippy, garbage. Predator has always been about human ingenuity and mankind's ability to overcome the impossible. This movie is about the power of friendship and why hunting is bad. You read that right. One of the main themes of this movie is a condemnation on hunting. In a franchise called "Predator". I could have watched this exact tone of film from pretty much any major bland blockbuster in the past 5 years. Nothing connects it to the unique feel and atmosphere of its namesake other than the title. I mean... it's rated PG13. What more do you need to know?
- remii21. Januar 2026Delivers in all ways possible. It’s dramatic, well paced, inventive and witty. The set pieces are extraordinary, the Shakespearean storyline gives some epic to the backstory. The message tends to overlook some script details at times but overall the franchise is given a new breath. The only downside is the same as the series Alien, Earth : by flipping systematically the core concepts (the predator becoming the prey, what if monsters had feelings or a family...) it drifts so much from the original material that it could be any franchise. Replace it by any other franchise and it would still work. It's actually unsettling and brilliant at the same time : generic and yet exhilerating.
