Quality Cheese August 1, 2008 This is probably my favorite, over-the-top, action movie. It has likable characters, memorably cheesy quotes (i.e., "I ain't got time to bleed"), and a high body count. This movie is alot of fun. As one reviewer described it: "superior mindless trash."
Good Transfer to DVD (Widescreen Collector's Edition (2 discs)) July 29, 2008 The opinions presented in the various reviews regarding the quality of the transfer of this (1987) film to DVD span the full range from horrible to excellent. My comments are based on the 2-disc "Widescreen Collector's Edition" of "Predator". The format of this edition is anamorphic widescreen which was also enhanced for 16 x 9 aspect ratio screens since the picture fills the entire TV screen.
For the most part, the transfer of sound and picture is excellent. The only problem is that the video transfer is not consistently excellent. Most of the scences look crystal sharp with great color on my large-screen, high-definition LCD TV (played on a Toshiba 1080p HD DVD player--the "upconversion" helps)--but then there are short segments (a few seconds here and there) where the image becomes suddenly quite grainy--but, since most of these grainy segments are night scences, the problem is not too obvious. Most of the night scenes, however, are crystal clear and sharp with fantastic contrast. Luckily, the grainy segments are very brief in duration and do not really detract from the overall entertainment value of the movie.
Nonetheless, this exciting, suspenseful, classic Arnold film deserves a high-definition remastering.
decent July 16, 2008 video was great. audio wasnt. i would recommend looking for a different copy
Don't waste your money on the Blu-Ray version July 14, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have both the SD and Blu-Ray version and can tell no difference. This is the second FOX transfer I've bought and will buy no more till they clean up their discs. These appear to be nothing more than the SD version pasted on a Blu-Ray disc.
Great movie/Bad blu-ray July 12, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Predator is a classic movie,one of my all-time favorites.This is not a review of the movie,but a review of the blu-ray version of the movie.
This is a bad blu-ray transfer.It looks worse to me than the regular dvd version.(And I don't even know how that's possible).I guess it has to do with how the original source material was filmed and/or the quality of the process used to convert the movie to blu-ray.I know it's an older movie but that's no excuse.Halloween came out in what...1978 or 1979,and that blu-ray transfer looks fantastic.
Anyway,if you have the regular dvd version of this movie,don't bother with the blu-ray.You will be sorry that you wasted the money.It has a large amount of grain in the film and does not look like a high definition movie should look.
