Description: The ultimate hunter meets the ultimate adversary... in the ultimate Collector's Edition DVD! Arnold Schwarzenegger wages an all-out war against an unseen enemy, a force more powerful and deadly than any on Earth-because the Predator is not of this Earth. Now, you can explore the depths of the Predator jungle with this all-new 2-disc set packed with over 5 hours of out-of-this-world extras, including an in-depth documentary, director's commentary, never-before-seen bonus footage, revealing featurettes and more!Amazon.com essential video: Rambo meets Alien in this terrific science-fiction thriller from 1987, directed by John McTiernan just a year before Die Hard made him Hollywood's most sought-after director of action-packed blockbusters. Arnold Schwarzenegger leads an elite squad of U.S. Army commandos to a remote region of South American jungle, where they've been assigned to search for South American officials who've been kidnapped by terrorists. Instead they find a bunch of skinned corpses hanging from the trees and realize that they're now facing a mysterious and much deadlier threat. As the squad is picked off one by one, Arnold finds himself pitted against a hideous alien creature that's heavily armed and wearing a spacesuit enabling the creature to render itself invisible. The title says it all in describing the relentless, escalating action that follows, maintained by McTiernan with an abundance of visual flair. The film's special effects are still impressive, and stunning locations in the Mexican jungles create a combined atmosphere of verdant beauty and imminent danger. The plot doesn't hold up to much scrutiny, but the movie's so exciting and tightly paced that its weaknesses seem irrelevant. --Jeff Shannon
Customer Reviews:
- CONTAAAAAAAAAACT!!!: Classic Schwarzenegger ovie, a lot of fun and cool sentences, a must-have for all action movie fans
- predator: well worth the price even though you already have it on dvd, just to see it in blu-ray, which is fantastic!
- Not Worth the Money ...: Just echoing the comments made by several other reviewers, there's absolutely no reason at all to by the Blu-Ray version of Predator. That assesment stands regardless of if you currently own the movie or not.
With virtualy no extra features at all and picture quality that doesn't look one iota better then the standard definition release (clearly the film wasn't remastered), the two disc standard definition version continues to be the edition to buy.
The movie is one of my favorites, but this edition represents a terrible dollar value. - Awful Blu-Ray Release of a Classic Film: Let me start off by saying Predator is one of my all time favorite movies. Like other reviewers, the one star is for the Blu-Ray release, not the movie itself. The standard DVD looks better than this! The picture quality on this Blu-Ray is garbage and there are no extras other than a trailer. Don't waste your money on this!
- Blu-Ray Review: Terrible Blu-Ray picture. Nothing at all Blu-Ray about this and also No Special Features!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a joke and a waste by FOX...................
