DVD Description
Includes the action films PREDATOR and CHAIN REACTION. In PREDATOR, a group of commandos are recruited by the CIA to rescue hostages held by guerrilla fighters in a Central American country. They encounter an enemy more deadly than any on earth - because the Predator is not of this earth. In CHAIN REACTION, a student machinist, Eddie, gets involved in a maze of government cover-ups, espionage and murder. Eddie and Lily, another member of his team, realise that their only hope lies with a powerful bureaucrat.
Advantages: Good selection of films Disadvantages: if you dont like one of the films, you wont want this
...A must for Keanu Reeves fans, three exellent films. gf loved point break as has 2 of her fave actors in it! chainreaction and johnny mnemonic are also good in her eyes and exellent in mine. just sit back and enjoy the cinematic greatness. not many extras on the disks tho, but you want films, not documentries about them!

Advantages: Theme music, and excellent casting Disadvantages: Too many characters died too soon
...Deep in the Jungle, where no one hears your screams. Guerrilla rebels are blamed for the disappearance of US political delegates.
The Chopper missing for days no one knows if they are dead or alive. Who do you call - Arnie.
Arnie and his gang or hard nut trained marines, each with adept skill vital to the team. They arrive to a thumbing theme tune at a US outpost.
Upon receiving orders, they get dropped in to the depths of the rain forest. Only to find a massacre and brutal disfigurement of other US soldiers with an indication of attack from all directions. Billy the tracker and far the toughest in the film, leads the team on to the guerrilla HQ, where "old painless" (a massive chain gun lets rip) and a flourish of explosions and death to follow - great.
Mean while upon this devastation, there's someone/something watching...

Advantages: Good Action Film Disadvantages: Different League to Aliens or Predator
...to the surface.
The humans traverse the ice tube and head towards the pyramid, as they enter their movements set off a chainreaction to revive the aliens within. This is also picked up by the Predators who quicken their pace to reach…what has now become the hunt.
All hell breaks loose as Predator takes on Human, Human takes on Alien, and Alien takes on Predator.
“Which ever side wins, we lose”
My Opinion
I am a huge fan of both the Alien trilogy (ignore the 4th one) and the Predator series. So first of all I was looking forward to this movie being released. After reading many articles on the film, and watching various film critics, I became more and more ominous about seeing this title. Every review and film critic had ripped this film to pieces saying how bad everything was. Well all I can say is don’t believe everything you read or hear...
