CAN YOU ROOT FOR A PREDATOR ?

Predator: Badlands (2025)

The absence of danger undermines the otherwise solid world-building and strong action. I wanted this film to succeed, but what we get instead is a watered-down story that never finds its footing. Dek evolves emotionally, but he never faces a genuine challenge that tests his strength or resolve. Rooting for a Predator can work if the film gives us a truly menacing antagonist, but here, that never happens.

Pluribus Review - Ep 3

This episode is slower paced than the first 2, but it asks some interesting questions. It continues the mystery and adds to the weirdness of the situation, but takes an introspective journey into both Carol’s and the Joined’s state of mind and keeps things fresh and gripping. And it’s safe to say that the last scene of this episode is both funny and eerily scary. But hey, that’s Vince Gilligan for you.
