I went into Predator Badlands with cautious optimism after Prey and the animated movie that preceded it. The trailer didn't do this movie justics. The story. The visuals. The score. The nods to previous entries. The unexpected comedy. I can't wait to see this movie a second time. I'm also very excited to see the story continue.

What's more impressive is the story which found a way to make this character sympathetic to audiences and keep the story interesting and worthwhile. It's also kind of fun to dream about a potential merger with Alien down the line, with that franchise on a rebound as well.

Do yourself a favor and see this movie ASAP.

Christ. The way some of you behave on here makes me wish the internet would go away. Remember the good times when everyone didn't have a voice? The world was better huh?

Before I go any further, let me say this. Electric State is a fun watch. It has a great cast and a unique script. It's simple. Was it meant to be Oppenheimer or some kind of classic? No. So why do you fools review it like it was? People need to learn a few things about how entertainment works. Netflix attaches a few stars to a simple script, gives it a fair budget, and boom they have a 90 minute movie in their IP. With the talent involved, Electric State should stay in their top 10 for a few weeks serving its purpose. Stop pretending to be some pretentious film critic who's reviewing Citizen Kane or something. Electric State is far better than it had any right to be, and the talented cast is worth your time alone.

Some of you will just never get it and because of your ignorance, you'll never enjoy anything. Have fun with that.

When we all could laugh? Have a sense of humor? The Duff reminds me of a simpler time when the keyboard warriors were still being mobilized. Just 10 years later I can tell you with 100% certainty that the movie wouldn't be made today. Not even for a streamer. This is an issue and a huge problem for me. Why wouldn't it be made? Take your pick. "It's too white". Even though this is false and The Duff actually has an extremely diverse cast, it still wouldn't be diverse enough for 2025. Spearing of 2025, the characters are too "heteronormative". Every friend group in entertainment must now be represent every race and sexual preference or else. Last but not least, even though they dumb down the plot with exposition and explain that DUFF doesn't actually mean "ugly fat friend", people need everything spoon fed to them these days and this name would hurt some feelings and we just can't have that.

Whew, with all that negativity gone. Let me tell you, I love this movie. A simple, fun plot. Great performances and chemistry by the two leads (Whitman and Amell) and a fun supporting cast. It bums me out that stuff like that won't be made ever again. I'd also like to point out that it's mind boggling that Mae Whitman wasn't more mainstream. She's beautiful, funny, talented, she has it all. I know she's worked consistently since she was a child, but I think this movie proves she could have lead more projects.

If you've read this far and you still don't know if you should watch the movie, I highly recommend that you do. The chemistry between Whitman and Amell makes me smile every time I watch. Jump in the Time Machine to 2015 when the world wasn't so terrible and just enjoy.
