From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home. The universe's most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and an evolutionary biologist can prevent the end of the human race.

Critics Consensus

The Predator has violence and quips to spare, but its chaotically hollow action adds up to another missed opportunity for a franchise increasingly defined by disappointment.

This film was a mess, and easily the most disappointing film of the whole year.

Black's latest addition to the franchise cashes in on high-octane action scenes, comedy, self-referential moments and pathological mapping that draws you into the Loonies' psychology, questions of ability and the mission at hand.

Yet another reminder that the strange alchemy of the progenitor probably can't be replicated. Hawkins is spinning in his jungle grave.

Were the Predators badass? Yes. Were there tons of cool weapons and action that made you excited to be watching an action movie? Yes! Was it a total blast? Yes!

It’s a deplorable, cringe-worthy geek show made only for the banal fantasies of undemanding nerds, and little boys who can’t get into the cinema due to the 15 certificate.

While it has shortcomings, Shane Black's The Predator is a far better sequel than many give it credit for, and one fans should give another shot.

Great cast, fun dialogue and decent script. In my opinion, second best movie in the franchise after Badlands…they keep getting better like the sister franchise Alien!

Es en definitiva una burla a la saga, a la historia Yautja, a la biología de la ciencia ficción, a los chistes dentro de las peliculas. Carece totalmente de un arco profundo de emociones que te hagan conectar con la historia, solo hace falta un poco de lógica sobre temas como "Evolución distopica" para darse cuenta que es una falacia sin chiste.

Too many bad things: - too many character, many useless; - the perpetual looney smoker with the whitiest teeth ever; - the biologist able to run at the same Speed of the alien and her uncanny trainship as a soldier; - the portrayal of a Tourette Syndrome is an insult; - the trailer scene: escaping at 5mph; - the trained dog, WTF. Bad bad bad

Why is this film so bad? 1. The girl dr casey start running after an alien with a gun after he killed almost all the trained soldiers with the same speed pff come ooon 2. The escape scene in the bus pfff 3. The dogs scene when they let one survive to study it but the same girl is wanted, rhey better let it loose 4. The scene when the black scientist came with the kid to open the spaceship 🤦🏻 first the kid makes the combination perfect at 1st try then the scientist enters with the sunglasses on the ship 🤦🏻 Very bad writing... disappointed
