Advantages: A nice box, a good game Disadvantages: The film and most of the special features
I had not seen Predator for about 18 years, despite already having it in my DVD collection however I decided that with my HMV vouchers I’d splash out and buy the “Definitive Edition”. The case is rather cleverly done, in the shading etc. The case is one of the ever increasing steelbook editions, basically a tin box. The definitive edition release like to use the tin’s natural colourings as well as painting over the top in places. The Predator release ... ...head on, you see the predator image, which is half predator, and half you. Maybe it was this very reason that I lost clarity and purchased this edition of the DVD.
Definitive edition release try to get the best quality print possible of a movie and its special features on DVD form, for those I assume too tight-fisted to go out and by a Blue –Ray or High Definition DVD player. The sound quality is greatly improved also, seemingly going beyond the ...

An all time classic. Probabley not the best film to watch if you are not an Arnie fan, but I have to say....it is fantastic. Must have seen it a dozen times and is certainly a film that made Arnie. Plenty of action and despite the obvious plot, holds some surprises. It is cheesey but this has to be in the top ten of action films. No hold bar thrills!!!

Advantages: Riveting Disadvantages: Not for the faint of heart
I have always loved this film from the moment I saw it in the cinema twenty years ago. The monster is grotesque yet somehow close enough to the human form to be worryingly familiar. Schwarzenegger is at his best as a very human hero desperately trying to get out of an impossible situation in the middle of a ever dangerous jungle. The special effects, especially as regards the monster itself, are great. He/it is so ugly! If you are looking for a logical, ...

Advantages: Classic sci fi movie, Arnie! Stands test of time Disadvantages: Arnie! Average music, a little slow at times.
...classic sci-fi films alien and predator come to mind. Here is the original predator movie for you to see how such a huge franchise started.
Firstly I realise arnie isnt everyones cupof tea. I wouldnt worry about that in this movie as he gives a decent performance and is backed by some better actors who help bring everything together. This movie is original and stil brilliant. Even though the effects may be dated it still can deliver to the audiance. ... ...it on DVd then this is for you. If you want to be a fan the same appies. Before you watch any sequal in a ny from you need to see this first. The music is good but not very memorable. It does set tense moments well however and you will be on the edge of your seat at times. The movie isnt a simple monster movie. It is much more intelligant than that and also offers more than your run of the mill serial killer movie. ...

DVD Description
In the remote jungle of a Central American country, an elite group of commandos led by Major Dutch Schaeffer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), 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. 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.
