- Lincoln and Blake Frank16. Mai 2026Just watched and wow… 10/10. The atmosphere, the alien world, that blue creature, the tension — honestly one of the coolest Predator experiences in years. It finally feels like the franchise evolved instead of repeating itself. Huge sci-fi frontier vibes and visually stunning from start to finish.
- 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.

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.
