To the executives who handed the Predator franchise to director Dan Trachtenberg: good job. This follow-up to his brilliant Native American warrior versus space hunter prequel is an animated anthology that tells four tales. The first three are self-contained historical dramas that drop various intergalactic stalkers right into the middle of things. The last is a wild ride with a killer kicker.
Killer of Killers begins with bloodthirsty Vikings, then warring brothers in medieval Japan. My favorite is an epic dogfight between WWII Spitfires and a Yautja spacecraft (for the uninitiated: that's the name of the Predator species). The animation puts the word 'gore' in gorgeous. The title characters, invisible until they reveal themselves, are armed with weapons designed to turn humans into hot salsa.
The voice work and dialogue are above average for a straight-to-streaming cartoon. This movie is all bones and blood while successfully expanding the Predator universe.
(Dan, not David. David Trachtenberg used to be in the DoD.)
