The "Predator" franchise has brought us a number of worthy sci-fi action flicks dating back to 1987, but when "Predator: Badlands" hits the 2025 movie calendar next week, it will be unlike any that came before it, with director Dan Trachtenberg ("Prey," "Predator: Killer of Killers") choosing to focus on the Predator itself. The movie has screened, so what do audiences think of this twist?<br /><br />"Predator: Badlands" stars Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as Dek, a young Predator who has been outcast from his clan. He finds an unlikely ally in Elle Fanning’s Thia, and the two set out on a quest. Eammon Parks Jacobs of Dexerto had a “blast” with the upcoming action movie, which he says has buddy comedy/road trip vibes.
