I Watched ‘Predator: Badlands’ Right After ‘Predator’ 1987- WTF Happened To This Franchise?

Predator: Badlands isn’t just a new step for the Predator series; it reflects how much blockbuster movies are changing. I appreciate that director Trachtenberg wasn’t afraid to reimagine a well-known story with a completely different look for modern viewers. I usually prefer the big, space-based Predator movies, but there’s a certain charm to the older films, like the original with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the jungle. While Badlands is a welcome addition and has been well-received, it’s also important to consider what we might have lost along the way.
