If this franchise has shown anything, it’s that it can reinvent itself without losing its essence. Instead of going for another reboot or a typical prequel, this time we get a wild, relentless animated anthology that dives straight into the core of Predator: the hunt. Three episodes set in different eras, each with its own style and tone, but all sharing the same brutal, no-holds-barred energy. At times, it brings back the vibe of old-school video store thrillers — violent, tense, and just out to entertain. And in that sense, it delivers. The animation unlocks possibilities that live-action never could, and it’s clear the creators embraced that freedom. There are spectacular sequences, strong creature design, tight action, and visual storytelling that dares to push boundaries. While not all the stories hit the same high notes, the overall package keeps you watching and invested. Dan Trachtenberg, who already impressed with Prey, knows what he’s doing. This might not be as polished, but it carries that same energy and respect for the franchise. The episodic format also gives the human characters more space to breathe — a rarity in Predator stories. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it shakes up the formula with style and confidence. For those who thought the saga was running on fumes, this shows there’s still plenty left in the tank. It’s not perfect, but it’s entertaining, intense, and brings just enough novelty to make you want more.
