Synopsis
In the remote jungle of a Central American country, an elite group of commandos led by Major Dutch Schaeffer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), embarks on a CIA mission to clear out a guerrilla stronghold and rescue the remaining hostages. However, the hunters become the hunted when a highly intelligent, otherwordly being slowly and methodically starts killing off members of Dutch's team. Possessing a chameleonlike camouflaging ability and a deadly alien arsenal, the creature tracks down the soldiers one by one. Director John McTiernan's film is a thrilling high-action flick, filled with great one-liners (courtesy of Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura, and the rest of the cast) and excellent special effects.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, R.G. Armstrong, Shane Black Director: John McTiernan

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant film - not great Blu Ray though, 20 May 2008
By Mrs. H. L. Little - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Ok, first up I love the film. It's one of my all time faves. It travels along nicely with classic "end of chapter" cliffhanger lines such as "If it bleeds we can kill it" and "something's out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man". The action and the pacing of the film are excellent, and despite what the plot is, it's done so well that it's almost believable.
The reason I'm only giving it four stars is because the blu-ray transfer isn't really all that great. It is slightly better than the DVD, but as stated by another reviewer the source material was already a little grainy and the High Def transfer seems only to highlight this further. There are also no extras unlike the DVD, so you really aren't getting value for money. As Blu-Ray's go, it's not one of the better ones, but I love the film so much I can just about forgive it for that.
In short, if you've already got the DVD (probably available for about £3) then you're not likely to feel that you're getting your money's worth here.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not good enough, 23 Dec 2008
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.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Arnold's best performance - superior action movie., 13 May 2008
By P. White (Cambridge, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Predator is a fine story and reasonably well made and filmed. Arnold acts very well in this and far better than some of his colleagues. The alien is beautifully realized and, catchphrase lapses aside ("Knock knock", "Stick around" etc) it's really rather plausible.
The Blu-Ray transfer is, I think, very good. The problem is the source material. The film stock and camera work have added a huge amount of grain and 'noise' into the images. I thought, during the opening scenes, that the transfer was very poor but then other scenes appeared that clearly showed a spot on HD image. For example, in the opening scenes the characters are in a tent. The tent scenes look bad but then the action cuts to a map and the map is perfect. It's the original film at fault and not the transfer folks. Some parts of the jungle scenes look great, the attack on the compound for example, whereas others look sub DVD. I think it was a low budget production working in extreme conditions and the quality of the filming suffered as a result. It IS better than DVD though.
What's not better than DVD is the extras. There are none. There are some trailers but those aren't extras they're studio adverts. My DVD copy has a whole extra disc of documentaries and other stuff so why is the much more expensive Blu-Ray version bereft?
In short, worth buying but not massively better than DVD.
