Ball busting Vietnam allegory McTiernan style delivers wholesale. I will start this by giving my ratings, yes plural because to me as a sci-fi/action film fan the film has few peers, it is 100% pure suspense testo explosive fun that along side John McTiernan's other action template Die Hard, stands the test of time to the point that it will be thrilling viewers long after we have left this earth. So with that I give …

It takes it's time to get going, this film - but once it does, it's amongst the best cat and mouse action adventures I've ever seen. Carl Weathers "Dillon" convinces his former commando mate "Dutch" (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to join him on a perilous rescue mission deep in the jungle. Once there they find themselves the prey of someone, something, that has ninja skills to die for - and, well, they do! Slowly and …

Overall : Predator’s mastery of suspense and action cements it as one of the most iconic alien thrillers of all time. Predator takes typical 80s action and mixes in Jaws-style horror to create one of the greatest creature features ever made. Arnold Schwarzenegger matches wits with the ultimate alien hunter along with his team of highly trained but in-over-their-heads mercenaries. As the body count rises, so does the …

From about 1996 to about 2009 (roughly ages 4 til 17 for those playing at home), this was my all-time favourite movie. It was the first non-pirated VHS I ever owned, and it probably informed more of my youth than I'm comfortable with admitting. Predator is the sort of movie that somehow both encapsulates and transcends the 1980s, I implore anybody who unlucky enough to never have seen Predator to watch it, just to …

Schwarzenegger vs. "the demon who makes trophies of man" in the Latin American jungles An elite squad of commandos is enlisted for a mission to the jungles of Central America to rescue some VIPs after their helicopter is downed. They soon discover that they are hunted by some kind of predator… not of this world. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers star. “Predator” (1987) mixes jungle action with otherworldly …
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 215 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post).

Critics, per Wikipedia
Released on June 12, 1987, Predator was No. 1 at the US box office in its opening weekend with a gross of $12 million. The film ranked 12th place in the domestic market for the calendar year 1987. The film grossed $98,267,558, of which $59,735,548 was from the US & Canadian box office. $38,532,010 was made in other countries. From contemporary reviews, Janet Maslin of The New York Times described the film as "grisly and dull, with few surprises". Dean Lamanna wrote in Cinefantastique that "the militarized monster movie tires under its own derivative weight". Michael Wilmington of the Los Angeles Times proclaimed it "arguably one of the emptiest, feeblest, most derivative scripts ever made…

neutral · AI labelView post →predator is a better movie if you think of the actual Predator as being the yautja equivalent of an Orange County dentist on safari
positive · AI labelView post →Predator Badlands understands that the secret to a good Predator movie is 70 minutes of toxic masculinity and 30 minutes of "toxic masculinity has failed, time to build elaborate booby traps."
positive · AI labelView post →When I go to the movies, I get a child ticket because it's slightly cheaper and theater employees aren't paid enough to give a shit. So two weeks ago I went to see Predator: Badlands... um...
neutral · AI labelView post →There’s an argument to be made that Predator Badlands is the most progressive scifi movie in recent years. Heavy themes of Anti-corporation, found family, pro environment, critique of toxic masculinity, direct-action and it’s bilingual

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Predator: Badlands last night, and I was pleasantly surprised because it felt like a Riddick movie as opposed to a Predator movie, kinda like how in the 3rd Riddick he spends a lot of time vibing out the hostile landscape and work with it, if you follow? Great vibe for this movie to have.
positive · AI labelView post →PJ Fleck is our most “thinks Predator is a motivational film” coach
neutral · AI labelView post →Predator Badlands is a little like if a Predator movie was also The Dark Crystal, which is to say it could hardly be more targeted to our household if it tried.
positive · AI labelView post →You know the Predator movie would have been a lot shorter if Schaeffer had simply shot the Predator when it first showed up.

positive · AI labelView post →Literally, yes. The whole reason Predator works is that it takes a team of crack badass commandos from an 80s action movie, has them act out an 80s action movie for the 30 minutes, and then the Predator shows up and all of a sudden it's a slasher movie, but the commandos DON'T KNOW THAT.
positive · AI labelView post →I’ve seen PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS (June 6, Hulu) & it is ridiculously good. Animated action filmmaking on a level that we rarely see. A triptych of stories featuring the most badass people imaginable going up against one of the greatest villains in cinema history. A blast from start to finish.
