It’s also one of the prettiest looking in the franchise, thanks to Jeff Cutter’s splendid cinematography. See it on the biggest screen possible!”

Entertainment reported Jonathan Sim said, “#PredatorBadlands is absolute PEAK. The best Predator yet. It empathizes with the Predator and offers an action-packed ride with gorgeous visuals. Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi and Elle Fanning are the perfect buddy duo. It builds the world and has so much fun.”

John Rocha gave a detailed review of the movie. It said, “#PredatorBadlands is that rare Fall movie that should’ve been released in the Summer. The action sequences, brutal battles (with plenty of “blood”), the emotional story at the center of it, the humorous and touching banter between Thia and Dee (and others!) and the film’s underlying messages about families and the dangers of authority unchecked is just perfect summer popcorn fare.” Check out the rest below.

Eric Goldman wrote, “Had a blast with #PredatorBadlands, which lets a Predator take center stage in a sci-fi/adventure film that adds a dash of Star Wars to Predator and delivers something really fun and exciting. Elle Fanning is wonderful and the Alien connections are cool without feeling overdone.”
