Story 7.1/10

Three storylines merge, highlighting protagonists who’ve proven themselves worthy. Their storylines tie them to heroes of the past who have bested their Predator foes.

The pacing is perfect. Even with the uptempo plot, the writers create deeply flawed and complex characters with painful backstories. 

These characters add a great deal to an exciting and action-packed landscape in the Predator franchise.

Animation 7.5/10

The art style is very unique. Although the creators use 3D animation, they also blend styles. The finished product resembles realistic watercolor paintings. It fits very well with the three storylines in different periods, especially the one featuring Japan.

The art style and animation are a boon to the character design. They also suit the exciting and highly imaginative action sequences.

Final Thoughts

Predator: Killer of Killers is an excellent installment in the Predator franchise. Perfect pacing, superb character development and excellent animation make it a great setup for the upcoming live-action film in November.
