Predator: Badlands

This is director Dan Trachtenberg’s third Predator-related film after Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers. Predator: Badlands deserves its theatrical release, especially in IMAX, where viewers can appreciate the special effects team’s impressive work and intricate fight choreography. The planet is rich with color and texture, deceptively inviting with glass that glistens like ice and slices like razors, vines with teeth and minds of their own, and maimed creatures that somehow regenerate.
