Director Dan Trachtenberg takes his third crack at Yautja lore with Predator: Badlands, and this time the protagonist is the galaxy’s most notorious trophy hunter himself. It’s a pretty wild shift in perspective for the franchise, but one that Trachtenberg pulls off.

The Wrap

"Predator: Badlands" rewrites the rules of the #Predator franchise with exhilarating, futuristic action and, more importantly, depth and character to spare.

Like John McTiernan's 1987 "Predator," #PredatorBadlands challenges regressive masculine values, TheWrap film critic William Bibbiani says.

Variety

#PredatorBadlands is an "inspired new entry" in the franchise as director Dan Trachtenberg "finds fresh excitement pairing Elle Fanning as an 'Alien'-style synth with a runt Predator with everything to prove."

THR’s review of PREDATOR: BADLANDS:
“While there are dismemberments and other bits of gruesome violence to be found in the film, Badlands is largely aimed at endearing its audience rather than repulsing them”

Discussing Film

PREDATOR: BADLANDS rocks obvi. But on my second watch, the vivid inspirations from George Lucas and video games like Shadow of a Colossus stood out more. A rare case where I think both fans and casual moviegoers will heavily dig this.

The Hashtag Show

Predator: Badlands at points feels almost Amblin-esque with the coming-of-age plot for both Dek and Thia. For the people worrying about blood, gore, action, or anything else that makes a Predator movie, a Predator movie, that's all here.
