Didn't hate it, but thought the humor and cuteness detracted from it. The ending made me roll my eyes.

Felt the same about Predator: Badlands. I wanted a hardcore survival/revenge flick and it started out like that, but then you've got an android constantly cracking jokes and a cute little plush toy creature being cute all over the place and it kind of killed it for me. It's not just a Predator movie, it's the first one where the Predator is the main character. There shouldn't be cute and funny.

Same with a space survival movie with the extinction of multiple species on the line. I'm cool with a little humor cuz people do that to break tension, but it was pretty consistent throughout the entire movie.

    I had pretty similar complaints. I went in completely blind expecting a sort of hard sci-fi realistic film or just more serious I guess. It didn't really feel serious or realistic at all and It felt like a lot of the movie was just trying to make the character cute like you mentioned. And like you say, it tried to be funny and it wasnt at all imo
