In 2025, the Predator film series continues with an animated anthology that explores the terrifying encounters between humans and Predators across various historical settings, including Viking times, samurai-era Japan, and WWII-era Florida. Following the positive reception of the 2022 film, Prey, this new installment features distinct narratives within each chapter. Utilizing clever cultural references, like the Viking's name for the Predator as Grendel from Beowulf, and focusing on teamwork in Medieval Japan, the anthology promises engaging yet imperfect animation, with suspicions of AI influence, leading to a climactic finale on the Predators' homeworld.
One of the film's better ideas is the Vikings referring to the Predator as Grendel, a reference to Beowulf, where a humanoid monster hunts the weak.
Medieval Japan follows in The Sword, with some handy lessons about teamwork, before shifting to The Bullet, set in wartime Florida, showcasing better action sequences.
