The newest film in the Predator franchise dropped on Hulu this weekend, and, for the first time, the movie is animated.

The previous movie in the franchise, Prey, also debuted on Hulu and was a huge hit. I have to say, the animation opens this franchise up to even more possibilities and if they continue the quality like this, they will have a ton of success.

This is broken into three different time frames where three different warriors are “recruited.” One was in Viking times, the next was in feudal Japan and then in World War I. These three warriors are taken to face off with the ultimate Predator.

The animation is beautiful and brutal. Just because it is animated, the film does not shy away from decapitating people. There is blood everywhere at times.

The film is fast paced and a lean 90 minutes, making it really easy to watch.
