PREDATOR: BADLANDS (2025) — Official Trailer | Starring: Amber Midthunder • Elle Fanning
“The desert doesn’t hide you—it sharpens you.”

️ Synopsis: After a wildfire sweeps the Southwest, a Comanche search‑and‑rescue tracker (Midthunder) escorts a storm scientist (Fanning) to find a missing fire crew in wind‑carved hoodoos and fossil beds.

They instead uncover flayed drones, hoof‑prints that start on bare rock, and a hum in the heat. Trailer hits: a dust storm turning cloak shimmer into ghost ripples; UV paint marking an invisible shape in a slot canyon; thermal‑drone POV as something colder than shadow crosses the frame; a derelict radio array baited with bones; a wind‑turbine trap exploding into shrapnel; wristblades sparking off shale while a plasma bolt melts glassy sand.

She cools her heat signature with mud and brine, flips the terrain, and drags the hunt uphill—where the ground remembers every predator. Final stinger: three red dots creep across obsidian—her mirror. A click. Cut to black.

Review: Flint‑hard survival and desert‑noir dread—tactile traps, clean geography, and Midthunder’s feral focus paired with Fanning’s bright grit. If this cut holds, expect a nerve‑saw hunt that breathes sand and silence.
