Predator: Badlands is now streaming on Disney+!
Film Synopsis
Set in the future on a deadly remote planet, Predator: Badlands follows Dek, a young Predator outcast from his clan, who finds an unlikely ally in Thia and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.
Predator: Badlands is a stand-alone movie that can be followed and understood even if you haven't seen all of the Predator or Prey films (I personally only have watched the first two films).
Dek, a Predator, and Thia, a synth, go on an adventure seeking the Kalisk. They encounter numerous obstacles and we watch as their relationship evolves, while wondering if Thia's intentions are authentic.
After accomplishing his goal, Dek returns home where he refuses to return to the clan who rejected him, and the film ends in a way that could lead to a possible sequel.
