If you love violent, animated action, Predator: Killer of Killers will almost certainly be one of your favorite movies of 2025. The animated film, set in the Predator universe, is certainly a triumph for a very specific kind of world-building and feels a bit like this franchise’s answer to something like Star Wars: Visions. That said, the meta question of Predator: Killer of Killers is somewhat harder to answer at this point. And that question is simple: Does the Predator franchise need nitty-gritty installments like this? Is it, like Alien, capacious and compelling enough to tell different kinds of stories?
With Killer of Killers, the answer is mostly yes. But it’s not really until the fourth and final piece of the movie that its power is truly felt.
