This worked out perfect for me, my father has 4k TV and Blu-Ray player so he kept the box as 4k disc, while my sister has 1080 TV and regular DVD player so they were able to take that disc, and it came with digital code, which I was able to use in my Google Play Movies account. The movie was better than 2nd, but can anything really compare to the original, when everything we saw was new and exciting, now we kinda know about Predators, so they did good job of keeping movie interesting, while still making it so if you didn't see the first two you weren't lost.

I’ve been waiting for a new Predator movie, and this one doesn’t disappoint. But as much as I love the Predator, it’s the characters that make the movie. It’s off beat and funny but still a good Predator movie.

Funny full of action and crazy humor with a bunch of crazy people

Really cool a taste of the old with the new with a twist

This Movie is Awesome I’m in 4K HDR with Dolby Atmos and the Steelbook looks Amazing love the Design

Possible spoilers. I’m not sure we needed yet another “Predator” movie but as long as they continue to sell tickets, they’ll keep making them. This edition ignores the other sequels for the most part…certainly the cross-over movies involving the battles against the “Aliens.” The first “Predator” movie – the one with Arnold – is certainly the best. One of the things it had going for it was the absence of a visual creature until well into the movie. It’s just the opposite here. The film opens with some kind of dogfight in space between Predator creatures. One of the Predator’s is shot down and crashes on, where else, Earth. Just as a military unit is about to rescue a couple of people from some bad guys. Nothing is really clear here about what’s going on. The leader of the Army unit is a sniper named Quinn McKenna (Boyd Holbrook). He escapes the crash and the Predator but loses his team as well as the people he was trying to rescue. When Quinn returns home to his headquarters, his explanation is questioned but we know from the get go that his primary adversary, Traeger (a menacing Sterling K. Brown), knows he’s telling the truth. But we can’t be spreading the truth about an interstellar killing machine that hunts humans (and other species) for sport. So Quinn is being shipped off on a bus to a mental facility along with some other military types who are a bit psychologically challenged. They include Nebraska (Trevante Rhodes), Coyle (Keegan-Michael Key), Baxley (Thomas Jane), Lynch (Alfie Allen) and Nettles (Augusto Aguilera). The film was directed and co-written by Shane Black who played one of the hapless soldiers in the original ’87 film. It would appear he wanted to inject some humor into this version and he succeeds, almost to a fault. Some of the early scenes are laugh out loud funny, especially those involving Coyle and Baxley. In the more dramatic action sequences in the final act, the humor had been over-cooked. Joining this motley crew is a biologist/geneticist named Casey Bracket (Olivia Munn) who proves she can fight and crack wise with the best of them. In the background is Quinn’s ex-wife, Emily (Yvonne Strahovski) and his young son Rory (Jacob Tremblay). Rory is borderline autistic, the kind that is picked on at school. A character we see often in movies and TV. But he’s also a wiz with electronics. Before dear old dad left the jungle and Predator, he managed to grab some Predator weapons and had them shipped back to his old house. Of course Rory opens the package and thinks it is some kind of video game. When he starts to play around with it, he sends a signal to the Predator about his location. Quinn, realizing his son is in jeopardy, escapes with his new friends from the bus. So now, the Predator, Traeger and Quinn and company make a bee-line for small town America. Another Predator also shows up and he’s bigger, stronger and meaner than the regulation Predator. It turns out that this bigger badder Pred has been playing around with alien species DNA, including human, to make it smarter and more adaptable. The smaller Predator evidently has sent something to the human population that will save them from his larger brothers. As convoluted as this all sounds, in the world of science fiction it somehow made sense to me. The screenplay has some big faults and there is no logic for much of the movie but it could have been a lot worse. As it is Black has a good sense for action (“Iron Man 3”). Unfortunately it starts and stops, sometimes to put another gag in. At the same time I was entertained. One thing remains constant in all of the Predator films. These alien creatures and near perfect killing machines and the “R” rating ensure plenty of splayed body parts.

I felt Predator was a very entertaining blockbuster film. This film has a more humorous bent than the previous one. I really did like Predators, but I prefer the tone of this film. It matches more of the over-the-top feel of the original and 2. They do add a few more jokes than those two, and a little too many of them have a frat bro/trying-to-be alpha dog mentality that can be a little exhausting. Still overall, it's pretty funny. There are some really impressive and violent fights. Current film technology is utilized to have the Predators do things they couldn't in previous films. The cast is all-around likable. Heck, I think this is the first time I found Olivia Munn fully utilized in a film. Admittedly, the pacing can be a little uneven at moments. There are points where the back-and-forth between characters could've been shorter and the scenes are rushed, including a death of a main character that's hit-and-miss. Also, the final scene setting up the sequel feels tacked-on and inorganic. Listen, if you're not interested in a humorous Predator film than this won't be for you. Personally, I went to be mindlessly entertained, and I was.

This movie is just different than the other entries in the Predator franchise. Let’s revisit quickly the ones before. Original Predator with Arnie is legendary, created one of the most awesome creatures on screen, could be considered as one of the best action films of all time, and has approx. a million quotable lines. Predator 2 is pretty good too although not up to the caliber of the first. Predators was a decent sequel, not as good as either of the first two, but not as bad as many would speculate. There were also two movies shared with aliens (AVP). Those were obviously spinoffs with the first not being too bad with an interesting story, but neither being too great at the same time. Now this new movie seems to have taken a comical tone. It is very obviously trying to be funny at nealry every turn. I think Shane Black knew he couldn’t do better than the original film so he went for something different and I’ll give him credit for that. Is it a great movie, no but it’s fine and enjoyable if you have an open mind. Just don’t expect too much and definitely don’t compare to the original film.

Watching this in theaters, I was WAY into the first half or so of the film. Once it hit that third act - the one famously reshot and re-edited and hounded on by studio execs - I started to lose interest and then the "superhero" tacked on, please make a sequel ending really left a sour taste in my mouth. As a huge fan of the franchise, and a mega fan of most of Shane Black's work, I gave it another go at home, and I'm glad I did. It's not the best Predator film you'll ever see, and I still hate that last scene, but the film is a real grower. It's not PC and doesn't pull any punches, there's a lot of old school 80's R-rated action, tropes and dialogue in here. I also appreciate the gang of guys and letting their characters develop some. Problematic but enjoyable once I let me initial reaction die down. Anyhow, the home video release, bat your personal opinion, looks fantastic in 4K HDR and the Dolby Atmos sound mix (which I also heard in my Dolby Cinema theatrical screening) COOKS, should give your system a nice workout. There's deleted scenes, and while there's nothing revealing about the original third act scenes, there are a couple scenes that bridge together some story elements better.

This was probably the most disappointing movie of 2018 for me. As a massive fan of the Predator franchise, this movie was a fairly colossal disappointment. With a very weak and broken story and a lackluster cast, The Predator really falls flat. If you’re a student of film, I would recommend looking into the plethora of production problems surrounding this movie to learn more about why this movie fell so flat. As a Home video release, I can’t really complain. The cover is cool and the special features are pretty decent. They unfortunately don’t go into any detail of the problems surrounding the production or how many times they had to keep re-writing the ending. I would say that if you’re a Predator fan and NEED to complete your collection (like I do), I would say it’s woeth adding to your movie shelf, but would say you can probably save yourself a few dollars and buy the regular blu ray since the 4K disc is just an upscale of the 1080p. But the improved sound quality is quite nice and this does go well with the 4K release of the original trilogy which came out in late 2018.

Being old enough to have watched the original movies from the beginning I can tell you that these aren't at all the same movies. It's not a reboot but they seem to be building on an idea introduced in the movie Predators and expanding on it. The ending leads you to think they are going to have more about this story arch. I was interested enough in the idea that I would like to see at least another movie exploring this. So go into it expecting a new style but unlike reboots it doesn't toss away everything established over the last two decades.

All righty, where to begin? First, I'm an Alien & Predator "super-geek" with the basement in my home devoted to both franchises. I hold Alien 3 responsible for, despite being an attempt at continuing the franchise, personally responsible for the downfall of the Alien series. How is this connected? It's at this point, this turning point in FOXs two tentpole sci-fi/monster series that the towel was thrown in and it became acceptable to simply turning out pulp films where having these creatures simply appear was good enough. And that's where films like Alien: Resurrection, the AVP films, Predators and The Predator have been comfortable remaining since. While the first two films in both the Alien & Predator franchises were executed with both entertainment and a semblance of continuity respectful of increasing canon, subsequent films need to be viewed with a mindset of simple pleasures and action. The Predator manages to deliver on these two subjects, giving us plenty of action to drool over and thankfully, some fun characters, as well. UNfortunately, the duo of Shane Black & Fred Dekker, much like Ridley Scott's return to the Alien franchise, simply don't deliver on the hype. Their return doesn't mark a return to greatness, it's just familiarity somehow diluted by being away from "their" franchises for so long. They lost something along the way and they didn't find it upon their return. So, bad news aside, is The Predator worth it? As long as you go in just wanting action with an old friend in the Predator itself, sure! There's fun action, some funny comedy, and a great cast. Don't let the reviews blasting the inclusion of the young son ward you off. He's wonderful and necessary to this story. What you SHOULD worry about is the tired trope of "make the big bad bigger and badder" (much like Predators- so unnecessary and lazy writing,) as well as the last 5 minutes. You've probably read (and seen the photos,) of the now infamous "crossover" surprise ending that would have seen either Ripley or Newt arrive from the Aliens universe (and many a fans' personal universes where Alien 3 is written off for how hackneyed they were handled,) and maybe even thought- "wow, that's awful". Scary to believe the ending we DID get appears to be some War Machine (from Avengers) crossover that's equally as bad. The Predator, IS however, a fun movie to toss in when you want some explosions, humor, escapist fun, or even background entertainment as you get work done. The 4K looks great in this film, with lots of use of light, dark, and contrast, and for those with a steelbook collection, it may have my outright favorite art to display.

Despite what the critics say, the latest Predator movie is really fun to watch, especially on a lazy weekend afternoon. The Predator does not have the suspense of the original and that's why I gave it 4 stars. Yes, it's tough to come close to the original. Even so it is s a nice tribute to the original. Shane Black's effort to flesh out the characters of the rag tag team of ex-soldiers and a scientist who must stop the latest Predator threat really makes the film stand out. The Predator is fun escapist entertainment. Enjoy the fun ride.

As a fan of the Predator movie series, I will say that this was good but nothing beats the original, it’s just tough for producers to continually out do themselves. With that being said, I like how they interacted and blended current events into the script, kinda real time events as to what’s happening, where we are heading and what the outcome is going to be if we don’t straighten up and fly right soon? View it with realistic expectations, keeping in mind what installment your watching.

Movie was great, and had a lot of little call backs to the original movie. I liked the theme of the new Predator. The whole movie was good, until the final credit scene. I hated that. It just made the entire plot of the movie seem too cheesy. That and along with the fact that you are supposed to believe that a child learned how to read the predator language in a matter of a few days, is just ridiculous. Other than that, the movie was funny, the characters were great, and the new Predator was awesome.

So I’m definitely not a fan of Predator movies in general but this one I loved!! I don’t really buy dvds anymore because everything is digital these days but this one I had to have. The typical action, gore and guts that you’d see in a Predator movie with a lot of humor thrown in. The “loonies” are the best part about this movie in my opinion. If you liked what Ryan Reynolds did for Blade 3 then you’ll definitely enjoy this one.

predator movies are my favorite movies ,so when the new movie was coming out I was excited to see it and I was not disappointed like most people who saw this movie I really liked this movie alot but grant you that the last movie predators from 2010 was way better but still I like the idea of a rouge predator begin hunted by a bigger predator and the rouge predator spoliler alert was here to give us a predator killer suit so this movie is alot better then what people say about it, so I don't know if they will continue from this predator movie so do something different again it dose not matter I will watch what other comes after it because I love the predator movies

My ten year old son and I went to see this and we HAD A BLAST ! This film has a more humorous bent than the previous one. I really did like Predators, but I prefer the tone of this film. It matches more of the over-the-top tone of the original and 2. They do add a few more jokes than those two, and a little too many of them have a frat bro/trying-to-be alpha dog mentality that can be a little exhausting. Still, overall, it's pretty funny. There are some really impressive and violent fights. Current film technology is utilized to have the Predators do things they couldn't in previous films. The cast is all-around likable. Heck, I think this is the first time I found Olivia Munn fully utilized in a film outside of just eye candy.

Gotta say I loved this. Definitely no Predator. Not as cool as Predators. Not as Bill Paxtony as Predator 2. The Predator is the funniest of the bunch. Felt like a Terminator sequel but much better. Plot is complete nonsense, but it does not matter since it is pure fun. Might see this movie in the dictionary under popcorn. Fred Dekker, we miss you. Shane Black, you will always have a seat at the table. Loved this cast. Feel like I need to go back and watch Olivia Munn’s entire catalog. The only person that didn’t work for me was the protagonist. Not that he was bad, just didn’t stand out. I have a feeling that this movie will pick up recognition in a few years. Until that time I am sure it will be treated poorly.

I was hesitant in buying this movie because of the poor reviews. However, I'm glad I did. While there were some very unbelievable events in the movie and some of the CGI was a little iffy on my UHD TV, the movie was exciting and fun. The storyline was cool and a nice departure from the same old, hunt them, kill them kinda movie. For a Predator fan, I'd recommend the movie. For a person who has very little experience with the movie series, I'd say stay away. It was entertaining!
