Was watching PREDATOR the other day..

"A pro would have split the moment he heard the action. Whoever did this,waited until the last minute,and took out 4 men armed with machine guns by hand,and then got by us.

Maybe we should give him a job. Put him on the payroll."
 
Lmao

Predators is ok. Fishburne saved it.
"...you talk too loud"

I liked that little survival detail from him there. It was like at that moment I realized goddamn they've practically been screaming at each this whole time, idiots!

War Fishburne.
 
Predators tried to do too much. Tried too hard to be different but in same jungle setting.

basically red's son, foreman, was a complete wash as venom and as a serial killer. I mean, who the fuck thought itd be a good idea to shift the center of the movie around this guy for a minute. I dont know about you, but when I think of 'scaree cereal killurr' I dont think of sitcom actors. not even that dorky kid from the wonder years who people once thought became marilyn manson. not even balki, not even screech, and no ... not even urkel.

<Dylan>


also, why the fuck would they go for that hippy shit angle of having a serial killer there anyways. they wanted to hammer home the point of 'the real predators are humans' when you know, thats NOT. THE FUCKING. POINT OF THE MOVIE AT ALL. well it sorta is, but you dont make it obvious. that ruins most sci fi concepts. you want to tell a story? then its about humans being the prey. thats it.



super bad, futuristic tribal hunters that cant be reasoned with or figured out, are mounting human trophies and yelling in a weird cat language. humans are lost and running around with body parts flying, invisible warriors are hopping around, and exploding laser blasts are shooting out of the jungle. I cant get why everyone has to try and be so smart with their movie scripts and then try to bludgeon you over the head with its a message in an action/horror flick. I dont need blatant life lessons here, mate. besides, the basic theme was already built into the premise, so they didnt need to make us stop and think 'huh, maybe we humans are da problem' while some yutz in a prison outfit is trying to kill people in a life or death situation while him, and everyone else is fighting against a bigger problem.

that happened when danny glover got the honorable 'real negga' award by them for actually winning in the enemys home field, aka his ship. in that last scene in the movie, they showed us their trophies, and that theyre not all bad sports. also

Thats for the lethal weapon movies. Thats all.

did you see the new predator trailer? olivia munn (I still think shes a hot piece of ass. but shes no god damn scientist) is hypothesizing that the predators come onto a planet, and mingle their DNA with other species, in order to become the best super hunters evah


I dont know, that concept is completely stealing from the xenomorphs in ALIEN, and it doesnt benefit the predator's lore at all. why arent they just the galaxy's top team of hunter killers who do crazy shit like run around and conduct universal game hunts? why do they have to take from humans now - I mean, what are they gonna get, finer strains of hair? more bitchy women? hipster tailoring and a sense of millennial fashion?

I hate it. The exact bullshit that is killing alien franchise. And theres a kid in it. Only way to save the movie is if the predator brutally kills munn and the kid in the first 5 mins. In a way that the movie gets an adults only rating because of the brutality. Thats a start.

Then munn will be traumatized from filming that scene and needs me to console her. Ill promise her that i wont watch it but i totally will,while shes in the room.
 
It was released in 1987, so I doubt there was much of a jump in quality from the DVD to BluRay.

Probably won't be able to tell the difference between BluRay and 4K.

It was filmed in 70mm film which is the equivalent of 18,000lines of resolution IIRC. So 4k would be less than 1/4 of the resolution of the original print.

the new movie doesnt look like they know what they want it to be. it looks like invasion of the body snatchers: the new age, or something. scientists everywhere, a lab, some spec op troopers who dont know whats going on. I dont get predator vibes from any of it.


you know, they also brushed off the predator character in the VS movies by treating him as a hero. that weakened him a lot. they made him a fucking savior for the humans all of the time. he doesnt even play into the plot, hes just there sometimes to fucking help.


every one of the VS movies were pretty much a rehesh of the alien flicks but dumbed down and in different settings. then sooner or later a predator shows up to get ho'ed out and eventually makes the great sacrifice, and dies saving a human. SMH

Seriously?

So, in 1986, when it was filmed, they had IMAX squared resolution?

Its basically a bunch of nerds who wrote a script and trying to somehow force it into the predator universe. They are more concerned in doing something different and leaving their mark then doing the franchise justice.

I'm not sure what you mean? They had 70mm format and ASA 100 grain size is smaller than 8microns. What exactly is your point? IMAX has been around longer than 1986.

Depending on how you measure resolution 70mm film should resolve 9,000 line pairs with 10% contrast.
 
Im gonna watch it tonight thanks to this thread. Usually i just have a wank when Dutch beats dillon in the arm wrestle, but tonight im focusing on the story.
