Movie Reviews of Predator [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Disappointing Blu-ray quality
Summary: 2 Stars
I have always loved this movie and looked forward to seeing in Blu-ray quality. Both my husband and I were bummed. Some scenes were somewhat clear but the overall results were not worth paying for a so-called Blu-ray quality.Movie Review: PURE EXCREMENT. FOX DOES IT AGAIN.
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not under any circumstances purchase this blu-ray DVD. Decorum prevents me from using certain unsavory verbage to accurately describe this item but I will try all the same. Let me put it this way: If you accidentally dropped this DVD on your lawn, flowers would grow there because this DVD is crap.
Let's just put aside the fact that Fox opted not to include any of the extras from the regular DVD release from a few years ago. Knowing this going in, I bought it anyway thinking that the superior video and audio quality alone would justify the purchase. Nope. The picture is appalingly bad. Fox didn't even bother to clean the print up for the transfer, so all the dust particles and artifacts from the print can now be seen in High Def. Bravo, Fox.
What's more, Fox is commanding top dollar for this P.O.S. Suggested retail price is $29.95, a price range reserved for the higher end blu-ray DVD's with superior quality and gobs of extras. It's barely worth $9.99 and that's being generous.
Avoid this one like the plague. If someone gives you this DVD, use it as a coaster because it isn't good for much else. Maybe target practice. Don't buy COMMANDO either, that one sucks too.
If Fox messes up FIGHT CLUB this badly, I will be royally pissed. Right now I'm just annoyed. You are on probabtion, Fox. Get on the ball or get out of the game.
Movie Review: Fox blows it on Blu-Ray again
Summary: 1 Stars
My 1-star review is not for the movie, Predator, which I love. I bought it twice on DVD: the first single-disc release with no extras, and then the excellent 2-disc special edition. I am not going to be buying on Blu-Ray, however, until the chowder-heads over at Fox start including all of the ALREADY PRODUCED extras on their Blu-Ray discs. Case in point: Predator.
Predator on Blu-Ray features a higher definition transfer (though on a single layer disc), but carries over none of the special features from the 2-disc DVD. How hard would this have been? Make it a dual layer Blu-Ray, and just throw them all on there in standard definition. That would have guaranteed and instant buy for me. But this habit of dumping the film bare-bones onto Blu-Ray is reminiscent of the early days of DVD, and I thought we were past that. Other studios are doing a fine job of including all the special features, so why is Fox being dumb? And why are they slapping a $40 MSRP on a bare-bones release?
You would have had me with a good release, Fox. I would gladly plonk down the cash for a true upgrade from my DVD version. But you blew it, and you're not getting my money.
Movie Review: Ratings should be for the Blu-Ray-HORRIBLE Transfer
Summary: 1 Stars
There is NO WAY, that this film gets a cumulative 4/5. The ratings have been pulled over from the SD. Amazon, please consider adding a separate database field for PQ and AQ for the hi-def products.
This movie itself for me is a 5. I love it! The transfer- a nightmare. Tons of noise, color flutuation and light changes/artifacting. The picture is soft, too.
Fox/MGM were just (10/2008) given some of the worst ratings, for their Blu-Ray releases and I understand why. I am a huge fan of this franchise, and was incredibly excited to see this in hi-def. If 0 stars was an option, I'd give it a 0. This Blu-Ray transfer is among some of the worst that I have seen.
For the premium price paid for Blu-Ray I expect a pristine picture and sound. Fox/MGM I hope you're listening. This truly is shameful!
I am thoroughly disappointed and all of the future MGM/Fox titles will be considered "rentals" until I see an review.
Movie Review: Stick with The Special Edition DVD
Summary: 1 Stars
The Whole HD-DVD. VS Blue Ray HD Format War was so unnecessary for the Consumer
The Fact is There was No Winner
Each one of us were "Screwed" in different ways
between the Over-the top pricing on the 1st Run of BR & HD Discs
The Hardware ect.
This BR was Proof at the time The Studio didn't Care about Quality (Both Predator and The Terminator on BR 'Could easily Destroy The HD Format 'Cause they don't Show off How Stunning The HD Format Can be)
Avoid this BR you could put it side bye side with the Out of Print Laserdisc and u might not be sure which is which!
To add Insult to injury the BR is Naked Not one worthy Extra
Just hold on to the Second Print Special Edition on DVD
poor excuse for a Hi-Def Transfer
20th Century Fox should re-call all these BR and Replace them with HQ BR Transfers
I wouldn't take it if it was Given away for free
