DVD Description

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

Full Of Air

A Very Goog Movie, My Complain Is That I Do Not Like This Stupid Person "Arnold". I Do not Like Him For Been Stupid With Latin People. Stupid Ardold You Do Not Think Well because You Are Full Of Air On All Your Body. Those Muscle's Are Not Real.


Arnies best

I just saw this on the big screen yesterday and man, they don't make movies like this any more that's for sure. Sure we have realistic fight scenes in Bourne movies, James Bond etc nowadays but I really don't ever intend to be in a position where i am fighting a guy to death so realism like that doesn't appeal to me. Give me over the top 80s action anytime. From start to finish this is just a great movie, with fantasic action, great verbal sparring and one-liners, and terrific direction from one of the greatest action directors, John McTiernan (what a one-two punch - Predator in '87, Die Hard in '88). It's a guy's movie...let's just get that one out of the way. No girl in her right mind is going to sit through this (unless she is sent from heaven!). Total testosterone-fest with enough homo-erotic posturing and cigar-chomping to keep you laughing throughout. That said the suspense element of the movie is never compromised and it's never predictable. It's basically a slasher movie with a sci-fi twist and lots of guns and shooting (lot's of shooting!). It contains probably my favourite action scene in any movie - when they are firing into, and decimating, the woods after the Predator that they cannot see. I remembered it being a long scene, but in the cinema yesterday everybody was in shock with exactly how long it actually was, and there was laughter and cheering throughout. Just a totally crazy scene of Arnie and crew destroying the rain forest and I loved it! They may not have killed the Predator that time but they must have wiped a couple of species from the planet! Alan Silvestri music is excellent throughout and really helps build the atmostphere and tension. It's a lean movie, unlike most of Arnie's movies, and thank god, no cuteness or sensitive side to his character. Forget Terminator 3, they should have got Arnie back to take on Predator again. Hell, even have Arnie vs Predator vs Alien (He beat Superman & Batman in the preliminary round!). I could just imagine Arnie's house at the end of the movie, showing his friends around his trophy room with a Predator and Alien head on the wall. Arnie, you were one of the greatest and I, for one, miss you.


One of the most hair-raising combats against an elusive alien!

Predator has achieved though all these years a cult status, due this intriguing, absorbing, bloody but extremely effective sci fi. To fight against an elusive who invisibly displaces from wrench to wrench and is capable to detect (as the snakes do) the human being through a formidable thermal sensor, will convey the viewer to a very engaging portrait of devastation in the middle of the jungle.

The final confrontation may be regarded as one of the most extraordinary ones in the history of cinema.
