Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Picture quality is very good, although I’m sure they could have tweaked it to be better, but all in all it’s as good as it will probably ever look.

Predator has had a fairly problematic release on Blu-ray—repeatedly. The first Blu-ray release was plagued by a low bitrate and the even then older MPEG-2 compression codec. A little over two years later the so-called Ultimate Hunter Edition appeared (which my colleague Casey Broadwater covered in his Predator Blu-ray review), which significantly brightened the image as well as more than significantly upped the bitrate, now encoded via AVC, but then pretty much threw it all away by slathering the release with DNR. Though I have no conclusive information (something exacerbated by Fox's perhaps telling tight lipped stance regarding this release), it looks to me that this is simply the Ultimate Hunter Edition, slightly opened up to a 1.78:1 aspect ratio (encoded via AVC for its 2D edition and MVC for its 3D edition). All of the issues mentioned in review are still more than noticeable. The look of the image here is now much more consistent with HD video than film—it's certainly (relatively) bright (more about that below) and colorful, but there's virtually no grain to be seen anywhere in either the 2D or 3D rendering. Even in filtered scenes (like the red hued scene shown in screenshot 7), where one would expect to see lots of grain, there simply isn't any. I refer you to Casey's review linked above for a thorough analysis of the look of the film. In terms of the 3D experience, things are at least relatively better, though perhaps only incrementally. There's still next to no grain to be found, but the dimensionality here is rather striking at times, at least when compared to other recent post-conversion efforts like I, Robot. A lot of the film has not been post-converted at all, however. Simply removing your 3D glasses at various spots throughout the film show that there is no post-conversion whatsoever going on during various swaths of the film, and in fact sequences like the opening spaceship moments and the underlying images behind the credits roll have very little depth (the credits in fact are the most "dimensional" thing about the opening several minutes of the film, clearly standing out in the foreground, while the rest of the action plays out in a largely flat plane in the background).

I previously had the 3D version that had issues but was the best out there. Videowise, this is a great improvement on that edition. Unfortunately the audio is still DTS-MA and not an Atmos or DTS-X upgrade but still manageable. If you're looking to watch the original Predator, this is the way to go.

Saw Predator in the theaters years ago and it is clearer on Blue Ray. Great film, Schwartzenegger at his best. He leads a team to the South American jungle on a rescue mission that becomes a test of survival. Great action, macho action and lots of fun. Not for children due to gore and language.

I remember watching this as a kid, and it still holds up. I didn't own the Bluray copy so I have nothing to compare the 4k to, but man, this thing looks great. The picture looks amazing on my 70 Vizio and the sound makes the walls shake. I just wish the latest movie was half as good as this.

This is by far the best version of this classic movie to date. The picture quality is awesome, and even though I would have preferred if the company had included a Dolby Atmos/DTS-X version of the soundtrack, the sound quality is also quite good. Highly recommended.

I would’ve given this 4K film 5 stars but didn’t cause thought the sound should’ve been better for a 4K! Thought they’d restore to Dolby Atmos, not the usual 5.1! Which I have to say my old Blu-ray sounds better!

if you like Sci I'm pretty sure you seen Predator already now on the glorious 4k looks even better I would recommend anybody a Fan from Predator to watch again , only thing missing is Dolby Atmos

You've probably seen this movie. The 4k is nice upgrade. Its a good movie to add to your collection if you can find it for $10. Nothing really special or unique about this disc.

Easily one of the top 3 movies featuring Arnold. Also the special affects showing cloaking device by the Predator were amazing especially for 80's movie over 30 years old.

Predator has always been a bit disappointing has it has not ben given a true collector's edition with tons of extra features and commentary this fantastically popular film deserves. It had been very confusing to me why there had not been any deluxe and limited edition versions of this incredible classic released after all these years...Well as this movie was never filmed or re-released theatrically in 3D, to see this at Best Buy, I was very surprised and immediately purchased it as I am fan of 3D. I own a Panasonic Plasma 50" Smart Vierra Active 3D Television I purchased from Best Buy about two years ago right when Panasonic announced they would stop producing Plasma sets, much to my disappointment as I feel for a bedroom tv mostly viewed in the dark you still cannot beat Plasma for 3D films...I have not seen enough on my Sony 4K Passive 3D 60" television yet to comment on the difference..Also there is almost none to very little content out that is BOTH 4K and 3D capable yet on disc...This was the first dvd I have watched that as I said was "Doctored" or converted into a 3D version never having been filmed with that intention. With that being said, you obviously lose out on the, (whether you like these or not is also important) 3D Jump out Factor Scenes that are present in the majority of movies released in 3D (Final Destination, Piranha 3DD, etc), yet the film still does a god job of making you forget it is a 3D conversion despite missing these "moments", which I personally look for in a 3D film. The transfer is absolutely crisp for a late 1980's film and the dense jungle layers do "pop" in the three dimensional space as well as the scenes with the thermographic sensor when the Predator is stalking the soldiers from his POV...Overall, a great disc and the price at Best Buy under 20 dollars you can't beat...Pick up a copy is my advice if you have a 3D setup-it make an already great action/Sci-fi movie even better and the extras while not much is new-are more than enough to please the hardcore fan like myself...

One of my all time favorites. I could watch it over and over. Love this movie. One of the best action movies ever. Just an overall great movie. Highly recommend it.

The movie itself is 5 STARS. The video quality is grainy, but this is still the best it's probably ever looked. Also, not including an Atmos track is disappointing.

This is a classic, If you like this movie the 4K version is worth watching again. A little grainy early on, but it improves and looks more realistic than ever before.

One of the best all time sci fi movies ever made that is truly a very underrated movie that doesn't get the love and attention that it so deserves

Old classics like these are great in 4k. The rich colors of the jungle pop. The special effects are not hindered as much. The sound quality is great.

It was a decent movie but wasn't excepting it to be that much humor for a predator movie. Overall it was good especially for the price in 4k.

This movie is an Arnold Classic that needs to be watched. It’s the original of the Predator franchise and just a good 80’s action movie.
