Overview
- Now playing in theaters, the film reframes the series through Dek, the franchise’s first Predator (Yautja) lead.
- Dan Trachtenberg returns to direct, expanding mythology and visual scope while keeping the story largely standalone.
- Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, Elle Fanning, and Cliff Curtis earn praise for performances that anchor the emotional stakes.
- Critics note a coming-of-age emphasis and accessible tone, with a PG-13 rating and a reported 1 hour 47 minute runtime.
- Creature and environment design draws on the ecology of the planet Genna, with VFX work from Weta FX and ILM and nods to broader Alien/Predator continuity.
