One of Arnold’s best. Classic action/sci-fi movie. Gives you everything you need from great action to horror elements to dude arms wrestling. What’s not to love

Predator is my all time favorite movie. Remember seeing this in the theaters in the Summer of 1987. Definitely recommend. Especially if you're a Predator fan this Steelbook blu ray is a must.

This is one of those classic 80's films that everyone has seen, talked about and made memes about. Its just everywhere. After not seeing the movie in my 28 yr lifespan I decided to give it a try. I didn't like it. Too much cringe for me, which is weird because I really like those corny 80's movies like that. Maybe if I had watched this as a kid I might feel differently about it. I still feel like everyone should definitely watch it. The steelbook art on this is amazing though, so I'm glad I bought it.

Essentially, this is similar to my Alien review, and will attempt to attach the image of the "collector's art edition" I purchased. This review will show up on the "Ultimate Hunter's Edition" version of Predator on blu ray, because that's truly what this disc is, despite the "art" title. Picked up this art variant for a great price at $7.99, and was pretty excited. I have a collection of Alien/ Aliens and Predator movies and memorabilia, and when I saw both Alien and Predator were given an art variant, I, like the obsessed lemming I am when it comes to these movies, ran off and grabbed them. I understood that beyond the art, especially at the sale pricing, it was simply an art change- I wouldn't be getting anything extra from the discs themselves, and that I was fine with. I was however, expecting a bit more care with the actual art included. The art itself is printed on a thin piece of cardboard, then applied to the front of the regular blu ray with a dab of stickem directly in the center of the case. This stickem, in both cases, was not enough to keep the cardboard attached to the case for either movie. The cardboard itself, while nice stock, is cut in such a way that it can only be applied to the outside of the case- it cannot be inserted into the blu ray, either to replace the wraparound or even lust in front of the disc- so without the stickem holding it in place, you'll need to find another method on your own. In my case, I used a dab of super glue on each corner, which unfortunately, discolors the white parts of the cardboard, even from behind. Now, if you don't own Predator, there's no reason not to grab this if you come across it- if you don't care about the art, you can trash it, frame it, or just hang it on a wall. But, being promoted as an art variant/ collector's version, this is being geared towards the collector like myself who probably already owns the movie, or is going to display it somehow. If this applies to you, make sure you understand that you'll need to put a touch of effort into it if you're going to be displaying it- Fox may have produced some nice art for the movies with these new covers, but they didn't properly adhere them to the cases. It's a shame, because they did do a limited edition art variant of Alien for Comic-Con 2014 that I ordered, and for that, they took the time to actually print the new art onto a new wraparound insert for the blu ray. Overall, the art is nice, the movie is great, it's just difficult to recommend this unless you're a die-hard or don't already own the movie. It truly feels as if Fox had a ton of extra copies of these movies already laying around that they couldn't unload to retailers, to they slapped on these pieces of cardboard with new art, then sold them to retailers under the "Collector's Art Edition" banner. If you do grab it, just be prepared to either use the art elsewhere or find a way to stick it to the case somehow- at the sale price of $7.99 I wasn't overly dissatisfied, but if I had paid more, I may have been a little miffed. Please also be aware that unlike the Alien art variant, Predator does NOT come with a digital HD copy of the movie.

I spent $4 dollars to see Dutch and Dillon greet each other in what most people call the most epic handshake in film history and it was worth every penny. No, the DVD does not come with any fancy frills or extras (aside from an awesome vintage commercial) but what did you expect? You're paying 4 dollars and are already getting a kickass film. Worth the money just to have in your action movie collection.

Predator 4K was released in June of 1987. The 4K video quality was good especially in the light jungle scenes. The audio is nothing to write home about so if you are expecting to give your home theater a work out it’s not going to happen. If you don’t own it I’m Blue-Ray then upgrade to the 4K it’s still worth it.

One of Arnold’s best. Been looking for this for a while and finally found it at BestBuy. Great movie, great price. I think it was $5.99 BlueRay!! Thanks again BestBuy.

Badass movie, one of the best oldies. It came the next day i order it. Good condition and great quality.

What can I say? It’s an 80’s classic!! And the original is by far the best!!!

What an upgrade over the previous Blu-rays! Good commentary too.

Awesome movie and good steelbook, definitely recommend

The quality of 4K films, in comparison to the regular Blu-ray version, often depends upon two things: (1) the quality of the original that they have to work with; and (2) how much effort the people put into the project. Here they must have started with either the original film or a first-generation print of it. Being that the film originated in 1987, these are easier to locate than for older films. The upgrade from regular Blu-ray to 4K is very noticeable in a side-by-side comparison. Viewers will notice the improvements in 4K immediately. You will particularly appreciate the differences in the scenes shot outdoors in well-lit areas versus indoors or darkened jungle scenes. That's because details like seeing leaves on trees in the distance jump out in 4K in bright sunlight while darkened scenes fail to reveal details--it's simply too dark to see much in 4K or any other format. The other complicating factor is that HDR darkens dark colors and brightens light colors which makes darkened scenes darker still--too dark in 4K for some films in my opinion. However here the film looks great throughout and should be a definite addition to your upgrade list, assuming you like the story which I do and many others do. In addition to sharp details, the color saturation is great, contrast is great, and the sound (Dolby DTS-HD digital) all are better than the Blu-ray version. A few scenes might be about the same in 4K as the original but for the vast majority it's a definite improvement. The standard set includes the 4K version, Blu-ray version, free digital download, and a number of extras.

Back in 1987, during Arnold Schwarzenegger's heyday as a movie actor, we find him in this science fiction/horror film, action adventure as the leader of a special ops rescue team in Central America sent to find and save an official held hostage by a guerilla unit in the jungle. What they find is that they are not on the mission they thought they were, and besides that something seems to be hunting them as each member of the Team is being picked off by an unseen predator. As his team is being decimated by this highly intelligent and technologically superior alien being, Dutch (Arnold) finds a way to level the playing field confronting the creature, who is hunting them for sport and now sees Dutch as a worthy opponent, face to face. This film was listed on a number of "Best Movies" lists and spawned a franchise that is still popular today.

One of my favorites now in 3d. I already had this on dvd and vhs. Yeah I said vhs. I must be getting old. I'm kind of an Arnold fan ever since the first terminator movie so naturally I really like this one. Who knew two of the stars would later become governors? 3d effects are a bonus but don't really add a lot to the movie. They are pretty good in some parts though. If you're not a 3d freak you might want to just get the bluray ver to save a few $.

20th Century Fox clearly aims to right past wrongs with this 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release. Avoiding the DNR travesty of past releases, the new scan offers up improved details and a judicious application of HDR10, giving the image an extra layer of pop and punch easily making it the best home video presentation to date - with some baked in issues that simply can't completely be fixed, only mitigated. Unfortunately, the included Blu-ray doesn't benefit from a new image transfer, but it hosts all of the previously available bonus features making it a nice inclusion to the set. This is a solid release and an easy one to call Recommended - especially if you're not a fan of the sequels.

There a few films from the 1980s that have aged gracefully as this one, one cannot ask for more salad, action-packed flag then this. The steel book, all the coloring is someone off putting, is unlike any addition that it’s been at least that’s far, and given the fact that it is apparently a limited addition, it will most certainly appreciate and value on the secondary market. Well apparently all of the special features are poured it over from the previous ultimate hunter edition, is that worthy by giving the low-cost.

Not only is 'PREDATOR' a quintessential action master piece it is a film that takes all the best parts of the era and creates a genre mashup of jingoistic action, horror and sci-fi. Characters that, in any other movie, would be the unstoppable heroes are now prey for the ultimate hunter. Boasts chill inducing pacing, cinematography and film score. This is a must own movie on this 4k blu-ray that delivers 'Predator' in the highest quality the film has ever been presented.

One of my favorite movies the way it's meant to be see. Best home video transfer for predator.heavy of grain and grit(which fits an 80s action film set mainly in the jungle). Sound is good but video outweighs it. Would recommend to any predator fan.

They don't get any better in this genre, and this one looks superb. I am not qualified to judge how this compares with the other editions, as I have not seen them all. But hey, this was a film, shot on real film media, processed in chemistry, printed from negative...people get all bent out of shape about "grain" and how this compares to today's imaging. Get over it. This has never looked or sounded as good as it does now in 4K.

Classic! That is Arnold at his best with great supporting actors. There has been many sequels that are not as good. Story line that can be followed. Plot builds up to an exciting ending. The characters that the actors play, tend to develop in the action packed plot. A must have for any sci-fi fan.
