Blu-ray DVD Movies Disc - Predator
Product Description
20th Century Fox | 1987 | 107 min | Rated R | Apr 15, 2008
Region free
In the remote jungle of a Central American country, an elite group of commandos
led by Major Dutch Schaeffer, 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.
Presented in 1080p and framed in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio,
Predator hunts for the first time in high definition for the home video
market, and the results are probably about as good as can be expected. Presented
in the antiquated MPEG-2 format, the movie doesn't look very good in comparison
to many (if not most) Blu-ray titles on the market, but I attribute most trouble
spots to the source and not the disc.
Predator has always had a very
grainy, somewhat drab (save for the bright greens of the jungle), "dirty" look
to it, and that look is replicated on this disc, but the high-definition master
does manage to bring out some fine detail not seen in previous VHS, LD, and DVD
versions. For example, much more gruesome detail was to be seen than I have ever
noticed before (and I've seen this film countless times) in the scene showing
the skinned bodies of Harper and his men, not to mention the entrails left
behind from the Predator's first victim. We can also make out more fine detail
on the clothing and weapons, for example, and for the first time I noticed what
look to be some sort of plugs in the barrels of many of the weapons wielded by
the men throughout the movie. Colors appeared a bit more accurate this go-round,
noted especially in the many shades of green of the jungle, but also in the
green Predator blood and the flesh tones of the characters. Many special effects
shots look their age and quality in 1080p, especially those seen in conjunction
with a major explosion during the finale of the film, although the appearance of
the camouflaged Predator still looks good. I wasn't quite as pleased with the
result of this transfer as I was that of
Commando, but I have no
hesitations to say that this is the absolute best
Predator has ever
looked on any home video format.
Faring better than the video quality is the lossless DTS-HD MA 5.1 sound mix. I
was most impressed by this track. It's a loud one, but remains clearly defined
and engaging from start to finish. The excellent score by Alan Silvestri remains
one of my favorites, its militaristic-yet-slightly-sci/fi sound coming through
loud and clear on this disc, fantastic and a joy to listen to as always. Even
"Long Tall Sally" has never sounded this good. Much of the music finds its way
into the rear channels, as do all the sounds of the jungle. "Predator-vision"
has that underwater-ish, tribal beat sound to it, and it is fairly deep and
bass-y with solid lows. Gunfire and explosions, the bread-and-butter of this
soundtrack, sound so real they place you in the middle of the battles. Each
combat scene features excellent directionality, not as forceful and clean as
more modern sound mixes, but certainly as good as can be expected from
Predator. Explosions rattle and rumble the subwoofer, some so
hard-hitting that if it were any more real you'd be knocked on your rear and
have the wind knocked out of you. The waterfall scene sounds fabulous,
completely engrossing (it could only sound more real and threatening if you were
there in the water) a bit muffled perhaps, but deep and loud, the sound beating
the viewer into submission, just one more scene for action fans to salivate over
and keep them smiling. Like
Commando,
Predator simply doesn't
measure up to the latest and greatest soundtracks, but it doesn't have to to be
successful. When you can take a 20 year old film, one that so many people who
are the target Blu-ray audience are familiar with, and make it sound this
awesome, then you've got something good, and
Predator is just that, a
fantastic, loud, exciting listen that easily blows away all previous home video
versions, and probably didn't even sound this terrific in most theaters 20-some
years ago.
