Predator: Badlands, Dan Trachtenberg

Predator: Badlands (2025), flips the script making the iconic alien hunter the protagonist. The sci-fi spectacle follows DEK (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), as he goes on a dangerous, and ill-prepared mission to prove himself to his clan.

The coming-of-age story adheres to the franchise canon, while presenting a fresh point of view. Director, Dan Trachtenberg hurls bold action sequences that come fast and frequent, but it's DEK's unlikely friendships and self-discovery that put this film in the series' top three.

A Predator flick with heart...who knew?
