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!

1/5

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.

Seriously, it's 2018 and you still need to rely on misogyny, making fun of disabilities and making racist jokes to make a movie funny? Waste of time and money.

Every macho cliche known to man is used. But what is unforgivable is the 'glamourising' of Autism. Unbelievable.

Absolute garbage. What a disgrace.

Utter disappointment, not what I expected from a predator movie, and I am a long time fan of the predator franchise ever since the first one. The movie must have been written and directed by amateurs. Really hope the next one can revive the series. This movie is so bad for a predator movie it's not even worth a rating. If I could give it an even worse or negative rating, that would be close enough to describe or express my disappointment.
