  "description": "I so very much wanted to love Predator: Badlands , but it ended up being resoundingly mediocre. Picture a Predator movie made by Disney and that's what you have here. There are some Mandalorian vibes with the child Kalisk functioning as Grogu and Thia as his begrudgingly accepted accomplice. Dek is different because he believes everything everu other Yautja believes but is simply too small to be a Yautja. But he's committed to proving everyone wrong and demonstrating his Yautja-ness. Being unique means he kind of develops a conscience and goes home to avenge his brother by killing his dad before the foreshadowing of a sequel featuring his mother. Parents, right? It's quite nice visually and entertaining enough, but it's a Predator movie with all the grit that makes them interesting cleaned up. Next up I imagine we'll get a proper Predator buddy comedy and an Aliens show in the mold of the Dinosaurs sitcom.",
