Predator (5/5)
Posted on 22 Feb 2011
This King Kong action film has aged very well. Silvestri’s score is quite memorable and unique. Arnold and Co. have a fair share of cute one-liners, but none of them are obnoxiously cliche or cheese as in the disastrous “The Running Man”. And it is usually a good sign when the lines “I’ll be back” aren’t traversed over for the 80th time. The DVD transfer looks crumby though. I remember being certain that VHS was a perfectly good format, then I saw DVD, now I’m eager to see things in proper high definition. Thankfully I only have a half dozen DVDs to my name. I wonder if the BluRay format–which cost a fortune to develop and market–will have a worthwhile return, we’re all streaming our content online nowadays aren’t we?
Got something to say?
