Predator: Killer of Killers

If Prey's journey into the past ignited your imagination for more Predator encounters across diverse historical landscapes, then brace yourself. Predator: Killer of Killers takes that very fan desire and crafts something truly epic: a breathtakingly animated anthology where individual tales of survival and savagery cleverly weave together into a larger, interconnected narrative.

This isn't just a collection of standalone "what ifs." The film presents a series of visually stunning and distinct animated shorts, each plunging us into a different era to witness new warriors confronting the relentless Yautja. The animation itself is a masterclass - incredibly stylish, dynamic, and unafraid to depict the brutal reality of a Predator hunt. While each segment offers a unique and thrilling glimpse into a specific confrontation across time, they are designed to gradually converge, with threads and characters building towards a more encompassing storyline. This ambitious structure, showcasing varied settings and conflicts while still telling a cohesive, broader story, is where the animated medium truly shines, offering a scope that would be a colossal undertaking in live-action.

Be warned: this is an intense, mature-audience experience that revels in the ferocity of its premise. It's wildly creative, visually spectacular, and a visceral thrill from start to finish. For fans who've longed to see the Predator's lethal prowess tested across history, Predator: Killer of Killers delivers not just isolated skirmishes, but a cleverly constructed saga of interconnected hunts.

Predator: Killer of Killers is a bold and refreshing entry in the Predator franchise, delivered through a stylish animated anthology format. Set across three distinct eras-a Viking battlefield, feudal Japan, and the skies of WWII-the film cleverly blends historical conflict with sci-fi terror. Each story stands strong on its own, with intense action, emotionally driven characters, and visually stunning animation that gives each setting its own identity. The fights aren't just about survival; they're personal, with each protagonist having something to prove or redeem, making their clash with the Yautja feel more meaningful.

What sets this film apart is how it balances spectacle with substance. While the Predator remains a deadly force, the real focus is on the humans and their internal struggles. The film also deserves credit for using native languages and unique visual techniques that elevate the storytelling. Though the final act tries to connect the stories in a big way and stumbles slightly in pacing, it still offers a satisfying payoff. Overall, this is a well-crafted addition to the franchise that doesn't try to copy the past but expands the universe in a creative and engaging way. A solid 7.5/10 from me.

From the animation, cinematography, choreography, score, messaging, and overall themes this movie does it all by sticking to a familiar formula and character tropes in a flawless way that makes for what unironically might be the best predator movie. The pacing is also very good for Its 80 minute run time. The film is so good at conveying what it's trying to be that for a quarter of the runtime there is little to no dialogue and yet you understand everything. Whether you're a fan of the predator franchise, wanting to get into it, or just want to turn on a gory, fun animated flick this film has it all!

I genuinely didn't know what to expect from this, turning a live action property into animation doesn't always work. That being said, this was absolutely amazing. I loved the animation style, the sound design, especially for the predator was excellent, the different settings, the voice acting was on point, the action absolutely top notch, as to be expected. Of course the storylines of the 3 vignettes were a bit lacking, some better than others, but who comes into a predator movie for the riveting story telling? This really was a legitimate predator movie, and did the titilur character justice. Very gory, great pacing, I highly recommend this.

Idk, it's fun to watch but ultimately it makes predators look weak!! Suggests the predators don't know wtf they're doing. It should be RARE for a predator to lose. Same reason John wick 3 bothered me, this super strong character gets kinda beat up then kicks the others ass but let's them live so they can keep fighting only to lose? Predator doesn't respect weakness so they should've ALL lost...

Disappointing, wanted deadliest warrior but with predator just to see who did best against them, but we got some bigger story that was kinda lame.

*takes deep breathe* guess I can fly this spaceship now >:(
