Predator Killer of Killers: A Thrilling Ride
The film's unique blend of stunning animation, gory action, and historical accuracy makes it a must-watch for fans of the franchise, and its success paves the way for future animated projects in the Predator universe.
The animated anthology "Predator: Killer of Killers" expands the Predator universe with stunning Arcane-inspired animation and gory action, featuring three stories set in different eras, from 841 AD to 1941, with a focus on the characters' honor and heart.
The anthology, directed by Dan Trachtenberg and co-directed by Josh Wassung, follows the Yautja, the alien predators, as they hunt and kill humans throughout history. Each story features breathtaking animated action sequences, with a focus on the characters' ambition and reverence for the Predator world. The film's animation is praised for its colorful and painterly style, although some critics find it lacking in terms of sharpness and coherence.
The film's success is seen as a sign that the franchise is in good hands with Trachtenberg, who has proven himself to be a talented and passionate creator. The film's release on Hulu is also seen as a welcome surprise, and its ability to generate excitement for the upcoming live-action film "Predator: Badlands" is noted. The Third Floor, a previs/postvis studio, has expanded into animation with its first animated film, "Predator: Killer of Killers," set to debut on Hulu on June 6.
Overall, "Predator: Killer of Killers" is a worthwhile addition to the Yautja canon, raising new questions and elevating the franchise in exciting ways. With its thrilling ride and solid story, the film is sure to resonate with audiences and leave them eager for more.
