We have been long standing enthusiasts for the science fiction novels of Adam Roberts (and would trust that all right-thinking fans of the genre would share this belief) however we also believe he should be sent to prison for his jokes.

I'd heard a lot of mixed things about Predator: Badlands when it was in cinemas. Enough fanboy butthurt to make me think it was probably worth seeing but also quite a lot of 'meh' from people who really liked Prey, the previous movie in this…

Enough fanboy butthurt to make me think it was probably worth seeing but also quite a lot of 'meh' from people who really liked Prey, the previous movie in this series by the same director, Dan Trachtenberg. There were positive voices but no one loved it like they loved Prey.
