Disney will be shitting out all kinds of Alien and Predator movies now that they have the rights, so what's the word on this one? From the same director as Prey, this one already seems like it's in capable hands. Killer of Killers was also decent for an animated film, so this guy clearly has a lot of ideas for Predator content.
Our story begins on the predator home planet, Yautja Prime. Dek is our main predator, and at an average human height, he's considered a runt. His brother Kwei kicks his ass and his father is so embarrassed by him that he wants him dead without giving him a chance to prove himself. Kwei thinks that's a bit harsh, so instead of giving him the mercy killing that dad orders, he kicks him off the planet so he can at least attempt to get his trophy. Dad doesn't like that one bit and kills Kwei, motivating Dek to get his trophy at all costs, then kill his dickhead father being such a massive cunt.
Dek is sent to Genna, also known as the "death planet". Everything is out to get him there. Even the fucking trees want you dead. Plants, animals, you name it. He soon encounters the upbeat Thia, half of a synthetic that's been somewhat crucified, and reluctantly decides to use her as a tool for his under-equipped journey through the badlands as he seeks out the kalisk, a seemingly unkillable creature.
I honestly had no issue with the predator's look. They wanted to differentiate him from your expected predator aesthetic, but you also have to consider that not all predators look the same. And if you think they do, then you're probably racist.
There's also a good reason Elle
I like how they utilize Weyland-Yutani in the movie. They're still obsessing over bio-weapons, and they're finally focused on something other than the xenomorph. There are various synthetics in the movie, most of which are corporate henchmen, and there are also a few other interesting alien species in the film.
Dek learns a bit about humility and teamwork, the adventure is quite entertaining, and it's good enough to finally get Arnold interested in coming back. I'm assuming that will be in animated form as per the extended ending of Killer of Killers, but I'll take it.
As for the PG-13 rating, don't worry. There's plenty of "gore", but apparently, it doesn't count if it's against alien species and robots. Like in Evil Dead 2, the MPAA will let you get away with more blood so long as it's any color other than red.
