Predator (1987)

good movie, lousy transfer

I'm reviewing the blu ray more than the movie; pretty much everyone knows what it's like. But this transfer...oh my god. It has more grain than a wheat field. The picture's fuzzy, and on my 50" tv it barely looked any better than the DVD version of the movie. There's also NO real special features, just a theatrical trailer, so there's really no point in buying the blu ray. Maybe someday they'll clean it up more, but this transfer sucks. January 7, 2009

Predator (Blue-ray).

Oh man, what an American classic. This is my favorite movie of all time !!!

I am so happy they decided to redo this masterpiece. Blue ray makes it even better. Awesome LOVE it !!!!!!. October 28, 2008

Pure entertainment.

This movie is a rare gem in the industry. Arnold Schwarzenegger leads an elite group of U.S. commandos into the deadly jungles of South America to find and rescue a group of government officials who've been kidnapped by terrorists. But soon another enemy comes on sceen, slaying Arnie's men one by one. The detail too on the Predator is outstanding for a movie that is 21 years old with great special effects especially the camoflauge scenes and camera work.

Another great title to add you collection if you enjoy Arnold's movies. If you are looking for a good scare then this is the movie to get. This film is now available on a collector's edition if a wide range of special features including rare deleted scenes, never-before-seen outtakes and 7 beautifully detailed behind-the-scenes featurettes which covers just over 5 hours.

And like most reviewers here, I highly recommend this for it's a rare gem, it's a classic compared to the science fiction/horror flicks around now. Definitely a collector's item and on DVD it's going to be a classic forever. I highly recommend this one. Pure entertainment for everyone. October 25, 2008

smash hit of Predator footage

all together this is a dynamic dvd set {must have} the documentry of how the film was made back in 87 w/ behind the scenes commentary makes it all the more worth wild!!! especially the lay out on the Predator costume as well the interviews w/ john mctiernan are also good in Mexico

just would have been great if a few yrs back when the scond one was done if they had arnold of course back in the Jungle setting!!!! October 11, 2008

Ratings should be for the Blu-Ray-HORRIBLE Transfer

There is NO WAY, that this film gets a cumulative 4/5. The ratings have been pulled over from the SD. Amazon, please consider adding a separate database field for PQ and AQ for the hi-def products.

This movie itself for me is a 5. I love it! The transfer- a nightmare. Tons of noise, color flutuation and light changes/artifacting. The picture is soft, too.

Fox/MGM were just (10/2008) given some of the worst ratings, for their Blu-Ray releases and I understand why. I am a huge fan of this franchise, and was incredibly excited to see this in hi-def. If 0 stars was an option, I'd give it a 0. This Blu-Ray transfer is among some of the worst that I have seen.

For the premium price paid for Blu-Ray I expect a pristine picture and sound. Fox/MGM I hope you're listening. This truly is shameful!

I am thoroughly disappointed and all of the future MGM/Fox titles will be considered "rentals" until I see an review.
