Never heard of this movie until this moment.

I don’t like to yuck others' yums but I’ll be your huckleberry.

Fuck this movie. It looks like the kind of trash that Marvel fans would gobble up.

me!

I was skeptical about it but I saw it anyways. I was wrong, It was really good, I enjoyed it.

I've always been a fan of the Alien vs Predator Darkhorse Comics and videogames from the 90s. I loved the world building, how it all took place in the Alien future timeline, the lore was great. The human interactions with the Predators was awesome. Badlands reminded me of that and god damn do they kinda set it up for another swing at Alien vs Predator that would be set in a similar timeline to the old comics and games.

That's what this movie, for me at least, was. It felt like a love letter to the very small fanbase of Predator fans from the 90s. The Badlands story has been told before on the pages of Darkhorse comics so for me it made complete sense. And it utilized a very important aspect from the Alien franchise without incorporating Xenomorphs. But man does it set up the potential for another AvP that DOESN'T have to take place on Earth and DOESN'T have to involve humans which I really hope they do.

I don't know how exactly pg-13 works but i can say there were no humans harmed during this movie at all, and a lot of carnage otherwise.
