Predator: Badlands's reviews
Media reviews
Empire
"A geeky commingling of lurid sci-fi, comedy and rowdy action".
Slashfilm
"By far the funniest, most heartfelt, and boldest "Predator" movie of them all, "Badlands" etches its place in franchise history — right alongside the classic that started it all and the three worthy follow-ups that Trachtenberg has delivered so far. Let's hope there are many more to come".
Screen Daily
"But Trachtenberg and Schuster-Koloamatangi have crafted a legitimately heroic and nuanced extra-terrestrial who rises to the occasion, not just to save the day but also to grow as an alien. Nearly 40 years after his first big-screen appearance, the Predator may finally be coming into his own".
Variety
"Dan Trachtenberg finds fresh excitement in the popular (if often-disappointing) ’80s franchise, pairing Elle Fanning's 'Alien'-style synth with a runt Predator with everything to prove".
