Being a 12 year old back in 1987 and loving action movies, then "Predator" was a movie that was hard to miss, especially since Arnold Schwarzenegger was really one of the biggest action hero names back then.
Who isn't familiar with the "Predator" franchise by now? And if you are not familiar with it, seriously? Where have you been since 1987? The whole "Alien" and "Predator" franchise and universe is just great, be it in movie, game, comic book format or any other possible format.
The storyline in the 1987 classic action Sci-Fi is a group of commandos are brought into the Central American jungle in order to find and retrieve the personnel of a downed helicopter. But it is not just the heat and the jungle that is a threat to the commandos; they find themselves being hunted by a deadly extraterrestrial hunter.
The ensemble of actors in the movie was quite good for an action Sci-Fi movie, and people were well-cast. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers really carried the movie quite well. And there was a great line up of support actors as well. And lets not forget the memorable predator itself, portrayed by Kevin Peter Hall.
There is a really good mood to the movie, and you feel like you are right there in the humid, dense jungle with the commandos and having to look over your shoulder all the time because of the predator.
For a late 1980's action Sci-Fi movie, then the entire movie is just crawling with one-liners, and of course the most epic of all being Arnold Schwarzenegger's "get to the chopper".
The effects in "Predator" were quite good and did help the movie along quite nicely. Special effects and creature effects are essential to a movie such as "Predator", and the special effects team really outdid themselves with this movie. I love the design of the predator, it is just a timeless piece of work.
"Predator" is an action Sci-Fi movie that you can watch again and again. And if you haven't seen this entertaining movie already, time to get in gear and get to it.
