The best Predator yet. It empathizes with the Predator and offers an action-packed ride with gorgeous visuals. Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi and Elle Fanning are the perfect buddy duo.

Love how it expands Predator lore while also just being a badass monster brawl for two hours. Elle Fanning rocks in dual roles, but the creatures steal the show.

Even better than Prey. Total blast!! "Tenderness is the new punk" as Predator movie yet balanced with totally badass sci-fi action — not easy to pull off. Danny T is killin' it oh man.

After endless sequels and remakes that do little to expand a franchise or try to blind us into thinking its something new with grand sets, BADLANDS shakes things up and pushes things in new directions while kicking ass — Steve Kopian (@unseenfilms) November 4, 2025 Predator: Badlands is helmed by returning director Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, 10 Cloverfield Lane) and marks the franchise’s highly anticipated return to the big screen with a story that expands and redefines the Predator Universe. Set in the future on a deadly remote planet, Badlands follows a young Predator outcast (played by newcomer Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) who finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Elle Fanning) as he embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary. Produced by John Davis, Dan Trachtenberg, Marc Toberoff, Ben Rosenblatt and Brent O’Connor, Predator: Badlands opens exclusively in movie theaters on November 7 in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, RealD (3D), Cinemark XD, 4DX, ScreenX and premium screens everywhere.
