Predator: Badlands (2025)

Times of India

 ‘Predator: Badlands’ takes the ‘Predator’ series in a bold new direction. Instead of sticking to the usual humans-versus-monster story, director Dan Trachtenberg focuses on the Predators themselves, showing their world and culture. The film feels bigger, stranger, and more emotional than previous films. It is still violent and tense, but there’s a surprising heart underneath all the action. The film has a fresh focus, which makes the story unpredictable and exciting. The movie also digs deeper into Predator traditions, showing their rules, rituals, and hierarchy, which makes this more than just another monster film. The film’s effects and set pieces make the planet feel alive and dangerous, adding a real sense of place. Together, these elements make the adventure both thrilling and surprisingly touching.
The story is set on a harsh, distant planet ruled by brutal tribal laws. It follows Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young Predator who has been banished and must prove himself to regain his place in the clan by killing the deadly monster, Kalisk. On his journey, he meets Thia (Elle Fanning), a fractured android, and they form an uneasy partnership. Together, they face dangerous creatures and Kalisk that threaten both their lives. It is a survival story filled with tense moments, dark humour, and an unusual sense of friendship. The bond between Dek and Thia becomes the heart of the film, keeping the audience emotionally invested.
Trachtenberg combines large-scale action sequences with quieter, character-focused moments. The fight sequences are intense and visually striking, but the film also gives space for emotion and reflection, especially through the character of Bud. The pacing slows a little in the middle, but it builds to a gripping finale that balances spectacle with real meaning. This balance of action and emotion gives the film a more epic feel than a standard monster film. The director also uses sound and lighting smartly, making encounters with the creatures suspenseful and unpredictable, so the tension never lets up. Some scenes linger longer than expected, giving the audience time to absorb both the danger and the beauty of the world.
Elle Fanning shines as Thia, bringing warmth and humor to a character that could have felt strange or distant. She gives Thia depth and makes her feel alive, even in the middle of chaotic action. Fanning also takes on the role of Tessa, a loyal and cunning employee of Weyland Yutani, giving the character her own distinct personality separate from her other role. Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi brings emotion and strength to Dek, turning a masked alien into a character you care about. The supporting cast, combined with stunning creature design and visuals, adds to the immersive feel. Even smaller characters leave an impression, showing that every scene matters in this world.
‘Predator: Badlands’ is not just another sequel—it is a reinvention. It respects the series’ legacy while daring to tell a different kind of story. Fans looking for another jungle hunt might be surprised, but the film offers a mix of myth, action, and unexpected emotion that works well. It is a thrilling, emotional ride. With its imaginative and innovative world, strong performances, and surprising heart, it proves that even a decades-old franchise can still evolve and offer something new and exciting.
