Dan Trachtenberg’s Predator: Badlands is a Predator movie like no other, and not just because it broke box-office records for the franchise: This time, a Predator (or Yautja, as they call themselves) is the protagonist. Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), described as the “runt” of his Yautja clan, has to prove himself to his fearsome father (Reuben De Jong) in order to claim his name and his place on his homeworld, Yautja Prime. That quest involves a journey to a different planet, a battle against a fearsome monster, and an alliance with a synthetic human, Thia (Elle Fanning). It also involves facing off against his father in the film’s finale.
