Predator: Badlands Review
Dan Trachtenberg proves the Yautja is in great hands via Predator: Badlands, the best crossover movie in ages thanks to Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi vibing.
There are many reasons to look back on Alien: Covenant as a disappointment, including the abandonment of the Space Jockey mystery and the callous disregard of Noomi Rapace’s Elizabeth Shaw.
A smaller flaw of Alien: Covenant is that it did nothing with the concept of the severed but-still-chatty head of a Weyland-Yutani synthetic, which was introduced in Prometheus.
After Prometheus ended on the amusing sight of our hero teaming up with the severed but-still-chatty head of a Weyland-Yutani synthetic, the sequel did nothing with that anime-ready contrast.
Predator: Badlands takes this concept and runs with it, 13 years later.
Author's summary: Predator: Badlands is a great crossover movie.
