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.

Brilliant film but patchy conversion to Blu-Ray

A Customer from Bangor, 16th July, 2008

If I were simply rating the film alone here it would easily earn the full 5 stars as it is a real classic. However, I am only rating it with 4 stars because I feel that the conversion to Blu-Ray isn't really good enough to make it any better than the plain old DVD version. Some scenes are really crisp and clear as you'd expect from a HD source but then other scenes are noticeably grainy. It makes for a bumpy watching experience. In summary: A fantastic movie classic with a patchy update to HD quality.

Excellent

One of the best action films ever, Arnie in his prime and lots of bad guys getting killed - what more could you want? Oh yeah... and a nasty alien. Awesome!

Predator - BLU-RAY

Jammyhouse from , 30th September, 2009

This is a great film enhanced by BLU-RAY - the sound is superb as is the vision. It's a film I've seen before and will probably watch again at a future date. A classic film that willl no doubt become an evergreen.

Not great quality

blackaj69 from , 22nd August, 2009

Chances are you have already seen this film. You know it is classic Arnie action and one worth watching. However if you are new to blue ray is it worth watching? To be honest its not that great. The print is grainy at times and the disc has nothing in it worth shouting about. If you already have the film on dvd then stick with it. If you want to give this a try its up to you but i would avoid until they re-release it.

Classic

Pagen from from Salisbury, 31st March, 2009

Ever since we got the PS3 we've been creating a list of must-see favs for the blu-ray experience and this was one of the top of the list! What an absolute classic, it never gets old. Arnie at his best, flexing every muscle in his repatoire and occasionally treating us to some real beautiful, unforgettable, bring a tear to the eye one liners....'Stick arround...'
