In this video, I break down why Predator Badlands joins the Avatars as the best unofficial video game movie ever made—a ridiculously rad, wholly immersive, primal sci-fi/fantasy experience that channels the spirit of early AAA gaming. Think Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, Monster Hunter—all filtered through Dan Trachtenberg’s visionary eye. The new Predator movie, Badlands, reinforces the idea that survival isn’t about dominance—it's about adaptation, respect for your environment, and finding strength through unity. Trachtenberg brilliantly weaves together the DNA of both Predator and Alien, contrasting a tribe built on selfish individuals with a community that exists to serve one selfish individual. It’s a sharp interrogation of the series. We explore how Badlands breaks the franchise wide open—challenging tradition, defying the rigidity of outdated leadership, and carving out a future built on compassion, evolution, and identity beyond the tribe. It’s one of the most inspired franchise reinventions in years. Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his Predator Badlands review and explains why Predator Badlands is perfect, why Badlands is the best predator movie, how Predator Badlands reinvents the franchise, how Predator Badlands saves the franchise, and what happens when the director stops making movies like a fan and more like an artist.
