As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement about the new Predator: Badlands film! The director has given us a tantalizing hint that this time around, the crossover with the Alien franchise is going to be incredibly genuine – something we haven’t seen before. It’s like they’re taking our favorite sci-fi worlds and blending them together in a way that feels true to both the Predator and Alien universes! I can hardly wait!
In the 2000s, two movies were made that combined elements from two popular science fiction TV series. However, these productions did not receive much acclaim, with many fans expressing dissatisfaction. There have also been numerous comic books and video games that feature crossovers of these same sci-fi shows.
In the trailer for “Badlands”, it’s revealed that the universes are merging once more. The protagonist played by Elle Fanning, it turns out, is artificially created, engineered by the powerful corporation Weyland-Yutani, notorious for its attempts to capture and misuse dangerous biological weapons.

In the most recent edition of SFX magazine, director Dan Trachtenberg revealed that he included a synthesizer in the movie not just as an homage, but for its thematic significance.
He stated, “What my recent statements imply is that there are no human characters in the film.

In simpler terms, an earlier version of sci-fi stories often depicted colonizing distant locations by sending human settlers with synthetic beings, a concept similar to the synthetics seen in past Alien installments.
It seems more realistic, with a blend of fact and fiction, to imagine that they might dispatch robots or synthetic beings initially to check the conditions are safe for humans, prior to sending any human explorers.
Indeed, there seems to be a substantial force of synthetic beings stationed on that planet, attempting to decipher the mysteries that lie there. However, their goals appear to clash with those of the entity known as Dek, who is also present on the same planet.

As a gaming enthusiast, I found myself revisiting the ‘Alien’ series, eager to delve into how fellow fans have deciphered those intriguing synthetics.
As a passionate gamer, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I caught a glimpse of the synth in the initial sneak peek! It was like stumbling upon rare treasures strewn across our game set – props and eye-catching items that truly embody gaming iconography.
In the trailer, they revealed the iconic Super Power Loader, a fact that left me feeling quite thrilled, thinking, “Wow, that’s definitely memorable!
Predator: Badlands is released in cinemas on 7 November.
