The post Badlands’ Review Scores Compare To Every ‘Predator’ Movie appeared com. Predator: Badlands Predator: Badlands Predator: Badlands is out this weekend, the latest outing in the storied Predator series. It’s a sci-fi genre classic, but as it turns out, the new films are scoring higher than the old ones, and that’s due to one man specifically, Dan Trachtenberg. Trachtenberg first landed on the map in 2016 when he directed 10 Cloverfield Lane, and 11 years later, here he is with Predator: Badlands. Not only Predator: Badlands, as it’s his second Predator movie this year. The other is the animated Predator: Killer of Killers. Back in 2022, he also directed the Native American Predator film Prey. These are now the top three scored Predator movies of the entire franchise. Here’s the list below: Predator: Killer of Killers 97% Prey 94% Predator: Badlands 89% Predator 80% Predators 65% The Predator 34% Predator 2 29% Alien Vs. Predator 21% Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem 12% Predator: Badlands Predator: Badlands You may think the original especially deserves to be higher, but here we are. I think if you’ve seen Killer of Killers and Prey, you’ll agree how good they are. And Badlands appears 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 (Schuster-Koloamatangi), outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Fanning) 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.
