With Prey, Dan Trachtenberg brought a thrillingly lethal edge back to the Predator saga, and he continues sharpening it with Predator: Badlands.
Whereas his prior film was a lean, mean, direct-to-streaming venture set in the past, his follow-up (November 7, in theaters) is an operatic big-screen adventure that leapfrogs into tomorrow and, to a significant extent, flips the script à la Terminator 2 by making its alien bounty hunter a sympathetic protagonist on a multi-pronged quest to prove he’s worthy of joining his clan, to seek revenge against those who’ve wronged him, and—most unexpected of all—to learn that there’s strength in numbers.
