Our take
Predator: Badlands is a PG-13 sci-fi action film on Disney Plus. Expect heavy creature and android combat, severed limbs, alien blood, and peril throughout. Language is light with about one s-word. No human gore, but violence stays intense for a franchise entry. Best for teens already comfortable with Predator-style action
Uplifting themes
Friendship and empathy slowly reach a lone hunter
Story (may spoil tone)
Cast out from his clan, a young Predator finds an unlikely ally in a damaged android and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.

Talk after watching
- Dek hunts to prove himself. What does real strength look like?
- Thia teaches empathy to a born predator. Can enemies become allies?
