Predator Badlands was highly entertaining. Atmos was active the whole time, mainly ambience. The story is mostly what you'd expect from a predator movie. As an action film, it totally works. The characters are fun and there's one big easter egg that it tells you fairly early. Big and loud, worth it to watch in the theater. Solid popcorn flick.
**Edit - Based on the box office of this one, for sure there will be another. Highest rated and highest opening box office so far.
Screen X was pretty cool. The sides are a different, gray cloth, so the color doesn't match and they're dimmer. Some scenes you can see are just stretched, others expand out nicely. The effect can be an little distracting during big action scenes, but mostly works and definitely adds to the experience. I'll give it another try sometime. We sat in the upper area, which oddly, not everyone did. It wrapped to just about where we were. Worth experiencing at least once.
**edit - you can see at the top of the side walls, the two extra cameras. Something else I didn't mention, the side cameras have a slight delay at times, so they are using some algorithm to do the expansion. They have a visible, half second delay when the scene changes. That is very noticeable when the scene switches to a different view; like if someone is speaking and then it switches to show the other character, you can see a slight lag with the side images catching up.
