Predator: Badlands (2025)


Predator goes full sci-fi, in a page ripped right out of Star Wars. In a complete departure from the rest of the franchise, it now has us rooting for the Yautja, who is on a mission to capture his latest trophy in the distant future. Despite not having any legs, Elle Fanning does a lot of the heavy lifting as half of a synthetic android who becomes an unlikely ally. Since there are no humans in this movie, the violence is minimal and has been downgraded to a PG-13 rating. It's a sci-fi adventure with very little horror elements, but somehow it works.
