BIGGEST 4K UPGRADE EVER?!? | PREDATOR 4K ULTRAHD BLU-RAY REVIEW

[@bschnauf6287]

Bought the 4K when it came out. Predator is my go to movie to just sit back and watch when going to bed. I watch it basically twice a week! Lol Most watched movie for me.

[@adriel88_]

B SCHNAUF hey wyd bro lol same here Predator and Predator 2 also love keyes how they try to capture Kevin Peter hall lol so epic gonna watch it again lol

[@adriel88_]

B SCHNAUF guess where I have it ? On my iphone xr lol but I bought it standard instead of HD so I wont waste all my GB fast what do you think ? SD is not that bad

[@adissabovic]

Did that with Alien for some 20 years. Now only once a week [sigh]... :)

[@LiuMav]

Me too

[@eaglerabbit8922]

It's one of the greatest action movies of all time!

[@teemusalonen7419]

One of my favorite 4k releases! During the final fight scene when predator takes his helmet off and you see the creatures face in glorious 4k with all the details and texture is absolutely mind blowing! Audio was very good too, no complains here... Great review!

[@DannyGPro]

I cannot say it enough how more great these reviews have been since you’ve added these screenshots. Kudos to you for that.

[@mariecordio1798]

I appreciate the picture comparison inserts. Wow, yes big difference 👏

[@adriel88_]

Marie Cordio hey are you a girl ? 😮😮 wow 😳 do women really like Predator omg 😱

[@mariecordio1798]

@@adriel88_ yes, I'm a female... I haven't seen it, or at least that I can remember. I like horror, but not all horror.

[@baseball8569]

Love your passion for movies! another great vid. love how you get straight to the point, not 5 minutes of worthless intro like other youtube channels. And I'm happy you added shot-by-shot comparisons. Great work all around!

[@keithm4953]

Great review, this was actually the first 4K I watched! That 2010 Blu - gawd everything looked like waxy plastic. In this, everything is detailed and lifelike - you really feel you are in that jungle, being hunted. Surprised to see critics here - I think this release shows what the new format is capable of.

[@Theomite]

It's worth mentioning that in 1985, Kodak changed the formula of their T-grain structure and as a result, most of the films shot on Kodak for the period of 1985-1987 were pretty grainy, especially in low-light. You'll really notice this on PREDATOR and ALIENS among others of the period. James Cameron mentioned this in his ALIENS commentary, so the grain on PREDATOR is a sign of the times.

[@slinkytrips]

The issue with the previous release was it was primarily remastered for the 3D release. In order to do the manual conversion for 3D they had to remove the noise in order to seperate the elements. You can also see this to a lesser degree in the latest T2 release that also recieved a 3D conversion. Unfortunately current noise reduction techniques result in smoother almost waxy looking faces.

[@saint6563]

Thanks as always for the review; the screen captures take it next level!

[@Funem]

I got this in the UK in a box set with Predator 2 and Predators. It had all movies on 4k with the Blu-rays and digital copies. Predator in this 4k transfer is a great transfer.

[@johnwilliamson2207]

I picked up the new 4K four film collection and of course the first one I popped in was the original and I was over the moon about what I saw! That excessive DNR was now gone! To have this film in such clarity, accuracy and without that DNR is a dream, I doubt it'll ever look better than it does here. Great review man, mimics my thoughts exactly.

[@tedkotas1912]

Is the 4k collection worth getting more than this stand alone film? Or are there extra features missing? Need a fans opinion.

[@marksmovieroom]

Oh man, the noise reduction really was awful in the last release. I'm going to pick this up if I see a used copy at my buy and sell store.

[@haitolawrence5986]

I've got the 3-D BRD version...pretty solid use of dimension honestly.

[@drunkenmolesterpaul3569]

Heath Lawrence yes it is. I was surprised at how good the 3D worked

[@colinbooth531]

Predator in 3D and 4k both awesome. Hell, in 144p on a Nokia 3310 it's still awesome!

[@georgevillalvazo9154]

I just saw this DVD of predator in 4K on my Sony 83 inch OLED big screen! I own the Panasonic UB 9000 4K THX Blu-ray player with the HDR optimizer on and it was totally awesome!👍

[@jhernandez626]

I agree with the man how can you not like grain smh 🤦🏻‍♂️🥴

[@tracebearly]

I was SO PLEASED with the 4K of this, and happy I'd picked it up! Such a classic action film from "my" era, lol. And with John McTiernan directing, what's not to love?!

[@Seshen77]

Just came across your channel few days ago. Love it! Very informative and love how you drill down into your reviews. Subscribed on the first video. Ha. Maybe you have already but would love to see you do a review on The Fifth Element 4K. Great job and great content!

[@MuscleAL]

This upgrade is a MUST! Too bad the included Blu-ray is still the old Ultimate Hunter Edition!

[@ForEternia]

Thanks that answers my question in regards of the original 2k bluray. You think FOX was too cheap to port the new master for 2k?

[@jhernandez626]

I never watch any of the Blu-ray copies that are included anyway

[@ricsip]

Yeah, the whole 10min review forgot to add that 1 really important detail, that if you dont own a 4k player yet, and can only watch the 2k disc for the moment, well that bundled 2k disc is the same good old Ultimate Hunter edition, that the 70% of this review is constantly bashing.

[@RedZerom]

does this version comes with the 4k Blu Ray 1-4 Predator Saga?

[@mwrightinsurance]

Thank you for answering my question. I have the old two disc DVD edition and was going to ask you to do a comparison to that. I’ve never had any complaints

[@Paul-vs9ho]

The Predator 3 movie collection in 4k has been on sale as low as $25. It's well worth the price if you can find it that low.

[@tylongkicks8821]

I hate part 4

[@Paul-vs9ho]

@@tylongkicks8821 oops I didn't mean to say 4 film collection. Haha. I corrected it.

[@Blake_Mills]

Just posted the same thing. I should have read the comments. It is a great deal and all turned out great imo. Great upgrades. Walmart seems to have it here all the time.

[@9ALiTY]

Just care about 1&2

[@jhernandez626]

Anything after the first one I don’t even bother

[@operamatthew]

DNR really did looks the actors were caked in makeup. so awesome to hear they fixed it.

[@danielgarcia4083]

Massive upgrade. Imagine if Terminator 2 had gotten a treatment this nice. Hot take: Predator 2 is just as good as the first

[@9ALiTY]

I AGREE!

[@9ALiTY]

@Litshttam yes I honestly like it as much as 1

[@colinbooth531]

No no no no no. Predator 2 is a decent sequel but Predator is the best action film of the 80's (Screen Junkies)

[@danielgarcia4083]

@@colinbooth531 predator 2 smartly knew it couldn't capture the same lightning McTiernan did years before, and like Cameron's Aliens, it swerves so effortlessly into new territory that, at least for me, the end result is a product so imaginative in tone, visuals, and action that it absolutely deserves to stand alongside the original. The opening gang shootouts, the subway chase sequence, king Willy's death, the alien ship,"want some candy?"... muah *chef's kiss*

[@sonnyfausel4386]

If you hated predator 2, watch the predator and then go back to part 2.

[@tedkotas1912]

Is the 4k 4 disc collection worth getting more than this?

[@saint6563]

OST was Dolby Pro Logic at best. Possibly Dolby Stereo in '87. Pro Logic was only 4 channels [L-C-R & Surround/hence the out of phase surround speakers of the day to spread out the single rear channel information]. Lots of future 5.1 mixes were based off of Pro Logic soundtracks; separating rear channel info & summing all low frequencies to the .1. Great reviews; thank you!

[@URBONED]

I picked up the pack that (thankfully) only had the first 3 films, even though I already owned them all on DVD but knew I had to upgrade. Predator is, in my opinion, the best action film ever made. I put the 4k disc in when I got it, just to see how nice it looked and ended up watching the whole film because I simply couldn't turn it off. It looks incredible, and so does Predator 2 and Predators.

[@robetclo2516]

The movie was released in Dolby Stereo in theater then, in VSH ans Laserdisc. The movie however had a 70 mm print edition wich used a 6 channels magnetic audio mix and it is most likely that this is that mix that we can enjoy now in Digital 5.1 either Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD Master Audio. I got this information on IMDB on the technical specs of the movie.

[@christophercampbell5982]

Yo I like your videos a lot more when you put comparison pictures up. Thanks for doing that much appreciated

Saw you have reviews on the Star Wars OT 4K blu-rays... hoping for the prequels to be reviewed!

Jeff I think your spot on. Just finished watching this "old classic" Blew me away the upgrade. So happy I bought it. Love you channel.

This movie was gorgeous. Thanks for the input

[@tbizzle00]

My favorite movie, so happy to hear that this is a new transfer that's true to the source! When I upgrade to 4k soon, gonna be the first film I get and replace my old 2008 blu! :)

[@colinbooth531]

Well worth it, sir.

[@mantisrider]

just got this as my first 4k movie and it was incredible. it took me back to when i saw it in the theater back in the day. great movie! now I gotta GET TO THE CHOPPERRRR!

[@mistergav]

Is this the same version that came with the triple pack 4K release with Predator 2 and Predators?

[@kthx1138]

Predator was also shot in 1.85:1, which uses top and bottom crop-matting to achieve its widescreen, which unfortunately does not use the full image area of 35mm film and magnifies the grain. Haters--learn to love the grain!

[@davidnorth-martino]

Thanks for the review. I couldn't get it on Amazon, but ran down to my local Walmart and grabbed one. They had four left. Watched it when I got home. Beautiful transfer!

[@djbutt88]

Thanks for your videos. I have been making additions to my collection based on your recommendations and WOW 🤩 they have been amazing!

[@hi-fihaven2257]

Hey Jeff! I really enjoy my 4k copy of Predator. I also thought they did a good job on the image. The HDR really helped the dark scenes. Preadator 2 4K is the one that amazed me though. The 4k version looks better than it did on the big screen when I saw it on it's original release. Predator is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies.

[@maximwinner5326]

Hi Jeff. How's the1080 blu ray version of this release? Is it as good as 4K? Thanks.

[@TheTyjah]

I have the collectors addition 15 DVD. You suggest staying with that?

[@MrChippiechappie]

Hate grain defeats the object of high definition.

[@Zharak]

Really good review, will get this version and thanks!

Currently debating between the 4 movie 4K UHD disc set vs itunes 4k HDR. They both come with all for movies and both are all 4K. I have a 4K UHD player with my PS5 but I have an apple tv 4k also. Can’t decide 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@johnsullivan1307]

I am pleased you mentioned about predator being dark. I have jaws 4K and it’s so dark it’s practically unwatchable.

How does the 4K version hold up digitally vs the physical copy? What are the differences if bandwidth is not an issue

[@DylanFoster87]

It’s WAAAAAY better than Blu-Ray! Looks beautiful on my tv

[@denisperez3105]

How about the 4k Predator box set. Is it worth upgrading to predator 2 , et al

[@systemmonitor5295]

HELP! I'm trying to find an answer to this but nothing is coming up. Is the standalone Blu Ray which uses this same artwork BETTER than the 2010 Ultimate disc? As in, is it using the same source as the 4K?

[@johnwhite3195]

Is the 4 4k miovie box set all as good?

[@calidan777]

Does anyone know if this is the same version that's in the Predator 4 movie box set on 4K Blu ray

[@HoboTango]

Love the picture comparison, Its the first time I see this in your videos ? If so, keep em coming it really helps deciding.

[@Moviemon89]

What do you think was worse between the two previous blu rays? My money’s always been on the Ultimate DNR Edition. Sure the codec sucks on the 2007 blu, but it still has more grain and detail than the UHE. Great review though, I agree it’s a huge upgrade all around.

[@ReelClassicFilmReviews]

Couldn’t agree more with you on this one. Wish someone would give Termintor 2 the same love. 👍🏻💿💿

[@gixxerfixxer4159]

Didn't they already release T2 on 4K Blu-Ray?

[@kiwi19866]

Is there a 4 K copy of fled the movie worth Stephen Baldwin and Laurence fishburn could you please review that if available Great classic

[@mattl3086]

I had this in the predator trilogy blu ray pack and don't recall it being terrible. But maybe I'd notice more now lol. Grabbed this on the b2g1 deal at Target 2 weeks back (about $11) and stoked to watch it with my dad.

[@TimSalfrank]

Is the blu ray that came with that better then 2010 blu ray and would it be worth an upgrade just for that from blu ray to blu ray?

[@kthx1138]

Darker scenes require high-speed film. High-speed film is grainy. Previous blu-ray heavily DNRed: Yep--you nailed it! Great review, Jeff!

[@steveblixt9437]

At 3:22 I love Jeff's comment about 35mm film grain. I know some people just can't stand DNR and want the original film "quality" to stay.

[@Mechafresh82]

Ordered the 4k from Best Buy for $13.98. I wondered why the Blu ray edition was on sale for $3.99 compared to the 4k release.

[@paulcadman3562]

Great video , your reviews give the studios the push for perfection , this one is on my to get list .

[@Trojan0304]

This is my fav movie. Liked old BR 2008 but on JVC 2000 this 4K HDR gets played once a week . Love the muzzle flashes. Based on your reviews we like the same features, good job

[@Poraqui]

Online I see a blu ray of this movie with the exact same cover. Is it the old blu ray release or a new one based on this 4k release?

[@GrimWillows]

is the included 1080p Bluray the old transfer or a downscale of the new 4k transfer? I'm tending to buy 4k now (which includes standard Bluray) for when the ps5 comes out. disc prices should go down with more 4k players in homes.

[@Gawlakman]

Glad this classic has a 4K transfer done right. Can you review the 4K predator collection box set?

[@tedkotas1912]

I second this

[@hi-fihaven2257]

Hey Jeff! Picked up Bad Boys For Life on 4k disc, and gave it a watch last night. It is an IMAX enhanced disc. I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-LX304 receiver with IMAX enhaced capability. The picture very is sharp, and detailed. Colors pop, HDR is awesome especially in dark scenes. The DTS-X soundtrack rocked my sound system that I just upgraded from 5.1.2 to 7.1.2! Have a great day man!

[@henridrogulski9364]

Does the included (non UHD) Blu Ray make use of the 4K restoration, or is it the same version as the previous Blu Ray?

[@SB0780]

Henri Drogulski the blu ray disc is the old transfer sadly.

[@JeffRauseo]

You should!

[@jonseyjones321]

I have been looking for a reason to upgrade! Bought every new version of the Blu-rays and covers when they come out. I loved the covers and was hoping the 4K would be a good transfer. I currently own the Predator 3 movie collection, which features the 2010 Predator: Hunter Edition. The boxset has the Predator holding a skull with a spinal cord still attached. Love the box art. Hope the 3 movie 4K boxset has some cool art.

Good to see a 4k Fox movie, but the one we NEED is Cameron’s The Abyss! And the director’s cut at that! We still don’t even have a blu ray release, only a DVD version and with a letterbox and non-anamorphic print! So you have to zoom in and make it look even worse! Really hoping for that to get done and properly!
