10 Underrated Sci-Fi Sequels (That Deserve Way More Love)

10. The Predator

Like the Terminator franchise, Fox's Predator film series found itself in a constant state of redevelopment as the studio attempted to relaunch it multiple times following Predator 2. And after the two AVP films and an attempted 2010 reboot, we got the heavily-anticipated Shane Black-helmed The Predator in 2018. Unfortunately for it, the film received mixed to negative reviews and, once again, the franchise remains in limbo.

The Predator, however, wasn't all bad. In fact, some of it was actually really interesting, as the war between the original hunters and the new breed of Super Predators delved into the Yautja's origins in a way that previous films had not, allowing audiences to get to know the iconic aliens that little bit better.

On top of that, there were a lot of genuinely great action sequences and, although the final act was highly derivative of the whole first film, it still made for quite the nail-biting watch.

Not the best Predator movie out there, but certainly not the worst either.
