Predator: Badlands is out this weekend and it is yet another stellar series entry from a man who keeps making stellar series entries.
10 Cloverfield LaneYou may think the original especially deserves to be higher, but here we are. I think if you’ve seenappears not to be far behind, and you can watch that this weekend. Here’s the synopsis, which is a lot different than the “Predator stalks people” storyline of almost all the past movies: "Predator: Badlands, which stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, is set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator , outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.
”There’s an Alien connection here with Fanning’s Thia being a Weyland-Yutani synth, and she also plays dual roles as another character in the film. It’s the first movie to have a Predator as the actual protagonist, the unique formatting serving to its benefit. Here’s what some of the reviews are saying:– “The takeaway, I think, is applicable to beings all across the universe: sometimes the things you want most are not worth wanting, and until you figure that out, you’ll never be free.”– “It cleverly pulls at the supposed laws of the series in a way that makes it more interesting without diluting the fearsome nature of the title character. Trachtenberg is making the franchise richer with every installment.”– “Between the wise-cracking sidekick, the adorable non-verbal pet, and the protagonist who undergoes personal growth, Predator: Badlands often resembles the pilot of a vintage Saturday-morning cartoon — but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.”is that it’s the series’ first PG-13 entry. That may seem strange for a franchise about brutal butchery, but it’s not necessarily that it’s been scaled back, it’s mainly due to rules about whether blood in violence scenes is red and Predators…do not bleed red. Neither do synths. It also may mean a higher box office haul than normal.
