‘Predator: Killer of Killers’ Review: Gruesome Animated Triptych Travels Through Time With the Ruthless Extra-Terrestrials
‘Prey’ director Dan Trachtenberg travels through history with the ruthless aliens, bringing a stylized aesthetic to the impressive action set-pieces.
If Trachtenberg’s name sounds familiar, that’s likely because he also oversaw the previous live-action installment in the “Predator” universe, the Emmy-winning feature “Prey,” in which a Comanche woman faced off with the intergalactic hunters. The helmer shares directing duties here with Joshua Wassung, both working from a screenplay by Micho Robert Rutare, whose narratives lean into the well-established notion that the Predators, a sadistic alien race, thirst for murdering weaker creatures and recurrently travel to Earth, searching for the best human adversaries to hone their skills. Lastly, Torres (Rick Gonzalez), a young Latino Air Force mechanic during World War II who aspires to become a pilot, gets his chance to fly when a spaceship wipes out a fleet of his airborne comrades.
