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

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.

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 ... Read More

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!!!!

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 ... Read More
