CAN DAN TRACHTENBERG GO 3 FOR 3??? Predator: Badlands Movie Review – In this new chapter of the Predator saga, director Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers, 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Boys) flips the script and takes us deep into the hunter’s world - in BEAUTIFUL IMAX!! The film stars Elle Fanning (known for The Great, Maleficent, Super 8) as Thia — a damaged synthetic from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Joining her is Dimitrius Schuster‑Koloamatangi (making his major big-screen debut) as Dek, a young Predator outcast who must prove himself against impossible odds. The story unfolds on a remote alien planet where hunter becomes hunted, alliances form in the wild, and the ultimate apex Predator awaits. With this entry rated PG-13 for “strong sci-fi violence” (a first for the franchise), the stakes are high as the Predator universe continues to expand in new & unexpected ways. Andrew and John break down everything from the action sequences, lore shifts, visual effects, and how this one stacks up vs. previous Predator films. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a newcomer to the hunt, this review dives deep. CAN THEY KEEP UP THE PREDATOR HOT STREAK?!?
