Sure his work with James Cameron has always yielded great results, but outside of that collaboration there isn’t much to write home about, even in his early career. There is one that stands out from the crowd, though, tonight’s feature: Predator. A seminal action film that still stands up today, some 30 plus years later, even with its 80’s cheese. Quite possibly Arnie’s finest hour (or 107 minutes!). Surely there can’t be anyone who doesn’t know the film by now? caught my eye.

There are a lot of nice ideas hiding in the murkiness of the screen play, and on the surface the film has everything it needs to succeed in the action genre. But so significant are the changes wrought upon the original cut, that you can tell that there are bits missing, there is so little coherence to the narrative that whilst you don’t get lost, the plot holes just stand out and bring you out of the film. The characters, this time around, are just unlikeable, the dialogue is lamentable and so full of profanity it becomes ridiculous; it is just so hard to get behind the film in any way. At least it does deliver on the action front; it was made and marketed are an R-rated feature and it does deliver on that front, no matter how daft the execution. As a whole, this Predator 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray is a vast improvement over any previous home video release - but it has unfortunate issues that simply can't be fixed, only mitigated. This was always going to be a problematic release but I have to hand it to Fox for doing a decent job. It's not perfect, but fans will be pleased to know it's much better than what's come before.understandably more ragged look to the supposed "television footage" that is regularly employed, but it's the new range of tones and highlights that

From the first Dark Horse comic book mini-series (especially the amazing Batman vs Predator series) to the Kenner action figures, to the direct sequels, I've loved this spine-ripping trophy hunter. Hell, to a degree I even enjoyed the AVP films even though I don't consider them real sequels in any way shape or form. But the love is why I've owned this film on every format to come down the pipeline. VHS, LaserDisc, twice on DVD, twice on Blu-ray - and now 4K.
