Predator: Badlands

Description

Predator: Badlands is the boldest reinvention the franchise has attempted, the first film in the series to place a Predator — a Yautja — at the center of its own story as the hero rather than the hunter of humans. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who revitalized the property with the acclaimed Prey, the film follows Dek, a young outcast Predator banished from his clan who sets out on a dangerous rite-of-passage journey across a hostile alien world. Newcomer Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi plays Dek, performing largely without dialogue and beneath extensive prosthetics.

Elle Fanning co-stars in a dual role as synthetic androids connected to the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, explicitly tying the Predator universe to the world of Alien. Her damaged synth becomes Dek's unlikely companion, and the odd-couple dynamic gives the film an unexpected streak of humor and heart amid its creature-feature spectacle. Set entirely on a remote planet teeming with monstrous predators, the movie plays as a survival adventure and buddy story rather than a straightforward slasher.

Trachtenberg's gamble — building an entire tentpole around a non-human protagonist audiences had only ever known as a villain — paid off with strong reviews and box office, cementing his stewardship of the franchise. Praised for its world-building, its practical creature design, and Fanning's committed performance, Predator: Badlands streams on Hulu and Disney+.

I'll be back, he promised in a 1984 sci-fi action movie The Terminator , and we see how California ex-governor keeps his promise: "The Last Stand" features exactly that kind of Arnold Schwarzenegger as we have remembered since the times of The Terminator and Commando. His character Ray Owens is a sheriff in small peaceful town on the USA-Mexican border, reluctantly involved into the last stand of local policemen against the most wanted drug kingpin who just spectacularly escaped from FBI and now heading to the Mexican border in order to slide abroad as soon as possible speeding above 200 Mph on his Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in a tow. But Ray Owens is not just a sheriff, he is the former FBI anti-drug department officer recently retired after some bungled operation (and, what is more important, he is also ex-Terminator as we know). Of course, he could not stand aside, and this is where bloody massacre begins. We'll see Arnold Schwarzenegger with shotgun blowing out enemies brains; we'll see him with monstrous machine gun doing the same, etc. Furthermore, aside of these "special features" we will se definitely brilliant cast of actors: Rodrigo Santoro, Zach Gilford, Genesis Rodriguez, Forest Whitaker, Jaimie Alexander, Eduardo Noriega, Luis Guzmán, Johnny Knoxville – an exciting list, isn't it? However the most serious thing you need to know that this movie is the first American action film directed by Kim Ji-woon, a talented Korean cinematographer, worldwide known for his masterpieces: "The Good, the Bad, the Weird", "A Bittersweet Life" and "I Saw the Devil."
