"I thought it was magnificent": The sci-fi streaming film that is part of a well-known saga

One of the most talked-about science fiction films streaming online in recent days is also the cornerstone of a saga spanning more than three decades . This animated production revives one of cinema's most iconic monsters and launches it into unexpected historical settings, with results as bloody as they are visually stunning. Available now on Disney+, this installment expands the science fiction universe with a fresh perspective that is already satisfying both franchise veterans and new viewers.

Those who have followed the character's evolution since his 1987 debut with Arnold Schwarzenegger know that the Predator franchise has gone through its ups and downs. However, its essence has remained the same: a ruthless alien who travels the cosmos in search of the most formidable warriors.

Director Dan Trachtenberg , responsible for the success of Predator: The Prey in 2022, returns to the reins with a vision that abandons live-action and opts for animation to explore new narrative terrain.

This twist not only adds a fresh twist, but also allows for the creation of sequences impossible to film in real life. The film is titled Predator: Killer of Killers and is presented as an animated anthology composed of three stories set in different moments in the past: from the Vikings to feudal Japan, and even the prelude to World War II .

Same threat, different perspectives

Each segment of the anthology explores how different cultures confront the fearsome space hunter , revealing their own strategies, weapons, and codes of honor. This episodic structure enhances the visual component thanks to high-quality animation reminiscent of Arcane or Blue-Eyed Samurai .

In terms of experience, Predator: Killer of Killers stands out for its elaborate staging, marked by the use of choreographed violence and carefully crafted soundtracks. The most powerful sequences dispense with dialogue to focus on the sensorial, creating moments of pure tension . The overall presentation cements Trachtenberg as a key figure in the revitalization of the franchise and offers a new direction to a saga that seemed to have exhausted its resources.
