From the Disney press release:
A bold new chapter in the legendary Predator franchise arrives January 6 when Predator: Badlands unleashes its pulse-pounding sci-fi action on Digital including Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.

Director Dan Trachtenberg steers the Predator franchise into bold new territory, with audiences enthusiastically embracing his vision.

Blending themes of survival and self-discovery with intense combat, striking visual effects, and moments of humor, the film delivers a high-stakes action adventure on both a visceral and emotional level. Fans can explore the world of Predator even further with exclusive bonus features, including behind-the-scenes featurettes that spotlight the film’s bold production design and visual effects, along with deleted scenes and additional insider content.

For the ultimate collectors within the Predator storyscape, a limited edition 4K SteelBook® dramatically captures the scale and intensity of battle with the Kalisk, while highlighting the unexpected alliance between Dek and Thia.

Looks like a nice package for this movie.  Barry reviewed the theatrical version for us here:  Predator: Badlands A non-spoiler review - Movie reviews - AVS Discussions

I’ve heard good things. Lest hope it lives up

[Paul Heroy]

I don't think I've ever seen a single one of the Predator movies. There are a bunch - are any of them really good, as in more than just mindless violence?

[Barry]

Once again, I posted a review for us that no one remembers!

For what it is it’s a good movie, but the last one, Prey was better.

NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!

The happiest of New Years to you!

Barry, I saw your original review when you posted it and re-read it in Scott's post. Your favorable view is what made me wonder about any of the past movies. Seems like at least a little background would be good to see before this new one.

I also see this was apparently the 2nd Predator movie just from 2025? The Wikipedia page on the franchise lists "Predator: Killer of Killers" in June with Badlands in November. Looks like that was an animated release on Hulu.

Start with the original with Arnold and Carl Weathers. At the time, it was a great film and very original (with actual good effects for the time period as well). Predator 2 was decent (not great) and they went downhill from there IMO. Frankly, I would watch 1 and 2 and then watch "Prey," which may be the best movie of all of them. I'll certainly watch this last entry because I liked Prey so much.

David, in my review of the last one, you asked me for a comparison to Prey. Agreeing with you I wrote:
David,

As always, you bring up a very interesting point.Prey, was a very different movie and perhaps the best of the predator series after the first one.

Prey was a more personal film. It’s beginning, showed us that all species were predators, and it was not evil to hunt for food. Of course, the Predators of this series tend to hunt for sport. And it is interesting that in both this movie and Badlands the hunters are also seeking recognition of their talent.

For this type of movie, I would give Prey a higher rating,due to the performance of Amber Midthunder and the thoughtfulness that went behind the plot. Prey has all that to a minimum and is more of a human interest story for most of it. I would give Prey, for the type of movie it is, a”very good” rating.

Badlands is a movie that is a sci-fi, special effects, action, and adventure movie. Prey draws you in on a much more human level.

Thanks Barry. Well said. I need to rewatch Prey!
