- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: Not everything about this makes it the absolute best, but in the hands of Dan Trachtenberg, it adds a new perspective on a character to root for, and it’s ultimately a thrilling adventure that shouldn’t have worked, but I had a good time with.
- Jason Flatt @ But Why Tho
- Excerpt: Dan Trachtenberg returns to the Predator series with Predator Badlands, an okay version of a strong concept weighed down by condescending dialogue.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Creatively flips the franchise on its head. It finds new power in the unlikely bond between a young outcast and a broken android, while still delivering the action you crave.
- Kat Hughes @ THN
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: The interstellar hunter becomes prey in this blockbuster.
- [New] | Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Dan Trachtenberg isn’t breathing new life into the Predator franchise. He’s wielding what makes it great to breathe new life into a familiar genre trope.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: Predator: Badlands takes a couple of wild swings regarding the franchise it represents, but also functions as a terrific adventure story that features found families, a test of courage, and other complex social dynamics.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Excerpt: Predator: Badlands is an indispensable part of Yautja lore, offering solid action and providing a fresh, engaging perspective on a nearly 40-year-old franchise.
- Jason Pirodsky @ The Prague Reporter
- Christopher Reed @ Film Festival Today
- Excerpt: Featuring terrific action and great messaging, the movie knows what it wants to do and does it well.
- Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: É o filme que ressuscita a saga.
- Diego Salgado @ Sofilm [Spanish]
- Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- Excerpt: Director Dan Trachtenberg and writer Patrick Aison return to the Predator universe, this time following Dek, a young Yaujta, as he seeks to prove his worth in his tribe by slaying the fearsome Kalisk.
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: The overall balance is positive—just barely—thanks to the film’s good direction, impressive visual effects, a very fun Elle Fanning, and a satisfying expansion of the Yautja lore.
