Classic sci-fi/horror movie and one of the few I've actually enjoyed over and over through the years. Rates right up there in my top-10 creature-features, maybe even a top-5. A very strong story, pretty good acting, OK effects and a decent script. There's probably more big time testosterone on the screen than in any other movie ever made to boot if you're into big-muscle guy action heroes. That being said, the blu-ray sadly did not clean up the many grainy camera shots that were put into the original DVD. The clean shots are superbly transferred and enhanced in blu-ray, but all the extremely grainy ones remain just as annoyingly grainy as ever and severely distract from the movie when viewed on a big screen TV. *sigh* I'll hope it can be fixed some day in a future perfect world... For now, I was hoping for 5-stars, but I have to give this only 3 1/2 because sadly it's truly the poorest production of any blu-ray I've seen...Read full review
Great action movie, lots of testosterone flying around, special effects are quite well done. Laced with cute sayings, like when Dutch pins a guy to a beam with his huge knife he says, "stick around". Most of the other characters got at least one good line too. Interplanetary hunters, who would've thought of that? And the ending is good when the creature starts laughing. There was a scene missing in the blu ray version. It didn't show Dutch (schwareneggar) building the trap that he springs on the creature that ends the fight. Oh well, I just recreated that from memory but for someone who values continuity in a film, it will cause them distress.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers star in this 1987 sci-fi film. A team of commandos are hunted in the jungle by a mysterious alien. I've always liked this film and think it's one of Arnold's best. I still have the collector's edition dvd, but decided to get this on blu-ray. It has good picture with occasional grain and spots in some shots, but it's an improvement from the dvd, sound is great and there's only a trailer. I recommend this great film, but would hold onto the dvd set for the extras.
PREDATOR on(Blu-ray) is AWESOME in itself...Combined with Hi-def, and 52inch plasma,video recliners, and of course kick-butt surround sound it is total entertainment, right at home..and don't forget the popcorn...The big guns,helicopters,jungle scene and muscle men (Arnold,J.Ventura,Apollo, etc.)and predator of course; it really rocks the house...you can see things on (blu-ray) that you've never seen on vhs or dvd...cavities in their teeth, scars, and hair on Arnolds chest, just like in Terminator 2..I highly recomend (blu-ray), it takes you into the movie...It's like you can reach out and touch the actors, and scenery, and just sit in AWE... Oh and (Blu-ray)is not as easy to scratch, they wipe off effortlessly..I purchased this movie here after looking everywhere for it..sometimes i do get lucky...A+Read full review
