 Not good enough December 23, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Having seen older films than predator recieve far better Blu Ray transfers than this I can not recommend this if you already have the 2 disc dvd special edition. I am getting slightly fed up of people saying things like "it's not the transfer its the original film at fault". This is complete nonsense. The recent james bond blu ray release of Dr No has a special feature showing how they cleaned up the original film print. This feature shows how you can take a well worn out and grubby film print and clean it up. Dr No is a fantastic blu ray and the film is more than 20 years older than the predator and really puts the predator to shame.br /br /It's obvious that this film will be released again in the future with a better transfer and special features to part the cash from our wallets again.
 Can someone answer me this? December 20, 2008
does this blu ray edition comes with portuguese subtitles?? br /br /IMPORTANT NOTE : PORTUGUESE FROM PORTUGAL NOT PORTUGUESE BRASILIANbr /br /thanks to anyone who can help me
BD Review December 1, 2008

I'm not going to review the plot or acting as I'm sure that if you haven't seen this movie before then there are plenty of places to read how good it is. As a movie I give it 5*, one of my favourites. br /br /As a blu ray disc I'm giving it 4*. Many parts such as the scenes when they first land in the jungle look amazing! The light coming through the tree's really sets the whole thing off and it looks like a film that was made yesterday. The camo paint, weapons et all on the characters look great throughout as well. Night time scenes, while not excellent are still very good. My only criticism (and why it doesn't get 5*) is that when there are both light and dark on the screen at once, the dark does seem a bit grainy (not my TV, its ok with everything else. I did check!). Other than that it looks amazing, even if you already own this on DVD I would recommend getting it on blu ray for the full predator experience.
predator October 21, 2008
Dutch(Arnold Schwarzenegger) is recruited by the CIA to rescue hostages held by guerrilla fighters in a Central American country. But Dutch and his team soon become the hunted and a deadly cat and mouse game begins. Can Dutch get his team of men out before they all die. The predator is on safari so let the hunt begin. Good film but i was a bit disapointed by the blu-ray disk. Not as clear as i thought it was going to be. If you want some good blu-ray film get 300, casino royal, the day after tomorrow or 30 days of night. Jean claude van damme was originally the predator until kevin peter hall took over.
Classic 80's action August 12, 2008

Predator. Where it all started for one of the best movie aliens of all time.br /br /I love this film it must be said. This is classic 80's action with a whole group of cliched beefcakes and cheesy dialogue thrown into the mix.br /br /If you're not familiar with the story here's the rundown: An elite rescue team of soldiers are sent into the South American jungle to release some government officials in guerrilla hands. As the team close in on their objective they realise that something is stalking them and picking them off one at a time for sport. This enemy is unseen as it wears a cloaking device and attacks with relentless ferocity and efficiency and also has a penchant for skinning its victims! That's it! It's a simple plot but it's just a great excuse for lots of guns and great action!br /br /Arnie is the leader of the group but is ably supported by Jess Ventura and his "mini" gun, Bill Duke and Sonny Landham who is the native American soldier skilled in tracking and pathfinding and a few others.br /br /The predator is kept hidden for some time but the tension in the film is gradually notched up through the trick of letting us see through the predator's eyes and hear it's weird vocalisations. I have to admit I remember first seeing this film as a kid and was utterly disappointed the very first time the predator was shown on screen - the special effects seen in that first snatched glimpse are shockingly bad and I was mortified. However, I needn't have worried as the later sequences with the cloaked predator are good - pretty amazing for the day and they hold up ok today too.br /br /There are some classic lines in this film such as when Arnie shouts "get to da choppa" and when Jesse Venturer's characters remarks upon being told he's bleeding "I ain't got time to bleed". Ultra macho and cheesier than an unwashed sports sock but great fun. The film progresses towards an almost inevitable conclusion where Arnie has to face off with the predator one on one and make use of whatever is to hand to aid him.br /br /Apparently Jean Claude Van-Damme was the predator originally because the film makers wanted an agile and lithe killer but he was thrown off the project for (allegedly) intentionally hurting a stunt man. Kevin Peter Hall was brought in and a new direction for the Predator was undertaken - one of a 7 foot tall brute!br /br /This is one of the best sci-fi action films of the 80's with arguably the best action film start in Arnie directed by John McTiernan, arguably one of the best action directors at the time (his follow up film was Die-Hard).br /br /But why only 4 stars? Well I guess because the film transfer definitely does not reach the quality levels of other titles on Bluray. I know the film is 21 years old now but the picture quality is not the best. You can tell it's hi-def but it's not high quality hi-def. Still better than DVD and the lossless soundtrack is great but maybe with a bit more care it could have been tidied up a touch more.br /br /But still, if you're a fan the decision is easy: buy this bluray!br /
