The Predator 4-Movie collection brings together all four of the main Predator films on Blu-Ray prior to Dan Trachtenberg’s 2022 prequel, “Prey.” These four films appear in rough chronological order, so they’re a great way to review the franchise prior to watching the prequel. “Predator 2” has a small scene that Trachtenberg directly referenced in his prequel. Finally, all four of the theatrical films in the franchise are 107 minutes long, while the digitally-released “Prey” is 100 minutes.
John McTiernan’s original 1987 “Predator” film based on Jim Thomas and John Thomas’s screenplay focuses on a special operations team traveling to Guatemala to retrieve a lost team. They quickly find out that CIA agent Dillon (Carl Weathers) mislead them, but discover they aren’t only up against guerrillas in the jungle. An unknown force begins targeting the spec ops team, leading Dutch Schaefer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and his team of Mac (Bill Duke), Billy (Sonny Landham), Blain (Jesse Ventura), Poncho (Richard Chaves), and Hawkins (Shane Black), to have to figure out their enemy, a creature that can seemingly become invisible and fires energy weapons. Despite the science fiction elements, the movie is very much the quintessential 1980s action movie from its cast to its music and even director McTiernan, who made “Die Hard” the very next year. Enjoyable as a classic, but made without the intent of a franchise, “Predator” can be watched as a standalone ’80s action B-movie or as the first in a series.
Stephen Hopkins’ 1990 sequel, “Predator 2,” takes place in the then-future of 1997 where gang wars consume Los Angeles. As a team led by Lt. Mike Harrigan of the LAPD (Danny Glover) attempts to prevent further street violence, they discover an unknown person is targeting them all. Joining him are Detective Danny Archuleta (Ruben Blades), Detective Leona Cantrell (María Conchita Alonso), Detective Jerry Lambert (Bill Paxton), and Dr. Irene Edwards (Lilyan Chauvin), the chief medical examiner. The CIA interrupts their work, with Special Agent Peter Keyes (Gary Busey) leading the efforts along with Agent Adam Garber (Adam Baldwin) to capture the Predator based on the prior encounter in 1987. The film is a bombastic 1990s action film, anticipating later 1990s futurist films such as “Terminator 2” (made in 1991, set in 1995), “Demolition Man” (made in 1993, set in 1996 & 2032), and “Escape from L.A.” (made in 1996, set in 2013). “Predator 2” also laid the groundwork for the larger franchise, showing multiple Predators, featuring a cameo of an alien skull, and showing that they previously came to Earth to hunt in the eighteenth century. This is also my favorite film in the franchise.
Nimród Antal’s 2010 film, “The Predators,” was the first in the series after the 2004 and 2007 “Alien vs. Predator” crossover films, though co-writer Robert Rodriguez and Antal sought to distance themselves from “Predator 2” and the crossovers. Antal and Rodriguez invert the formula of the previous films, featuring a group of fighters from diverse backgrounds brought from Earth to a game preserve where the Predators bring animals and humans to hunt for sport. The team is composed of mercenary Royce (Adrien Brody), IDF sniper Isabelle (Alice Braga), doctor Edwin (Topher Grace), death-row inmate Walter Stans (Walton Goggins), Spetsnaz commando Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov), Yakuza enforcer Hanzo (Louis Ozawa Changchien), Sierra Leone RUF officer Mombasa (Mahershala Ali), and Los Zetas enforcer Cuchillo (Danny Trejo). As the humans begin to realize that they’re no longer on Earth and learn that they’re being hunted, they encounter Ronald Noland (Laurence Fishburne), a human who has survived several seasons on the planet, scavenging Predator technology. He teaches them that, in addition to being hunted, they’re in the middle of a conflict between two different groups of Predators. In addition to the group from the earlier films who have a code of honor, a group of Super Predators fight using any means at their disposal, relishing in destruction rather than seeing to prove their honor in combat. Though directed by Antal, Robert Rodriguez co-wrote the story and produced the film, with the final product showing his influence throughout.
Shane Black’s 2018 film, “The Predator,” returns the franchise setting to Earth. The story begins with a Predator ship crashing on Earth. When U.S. Army Ranger Quinn McKenna (Boyd Holbrook) checks out the crash site and removes alien technology, he runs afoul of a clandestine organization that has him committed. The group, known as the Stargazer Project, captures a Predator and brings it to a lab for study. A scientist, Casey Brackett (Olivia Munn), discovers that the Predators contain some human DNA, tying into the idea from “Predators” that the Predators want to improve themselves to hunt different creatures throughout the universe. Naturally, the Predator escapes custody and so McKenna must team up with a group of soldiers with psychological issues – Nebraska Williams (Trevante Rhodes), Coyle (Keegan-Michael Key), Baxley (Thomas Jane), Lynch (Alfie Allen), and Nettles (Augusto Aguilera) – along with Brackett to hunt for it and another Predator. Along the way, they discover that the first Predator smuggled something to Earth and the second, bigger Predator is pursuing it for the device, which becomes the MacGuffin of the story as the team, government agents, and the bigger Predator all try to figure things out. The film links to prior entries in the franchise through the Stargazer Project, whose head scientist is Sean Keyes (Jake Busey, the real-life son of Gary Busey), the son of Peter Keyes from “Predator 2.” Further, one of the Stargazer Project’s operatives is Cullen Yutani (Françoise Yip), who previously portrayed the character in “Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.” In a further connection to the franchise, Black directed the fourth film and appeared in the first.

Zu den Filmen muss man wohl kaum noch ein Wort verlieren. Vor allem Teil 1 und Teil 2 waren richtungsweisend im Sci-Fi-Actiongenre. Action, Spannung, Tempo und ironischer Humor waren hier genau im richtigen Mischverhältnis. Die Actionikonen Arnold Schwarzenegger und Danny Glover trugen die Filme quasi im Alleingang, auch wenn gerade diese Filme durch sehr gute, prominente Nebendarsteller unterstützt wurden.Reviewed in Germany on January 26, 2019
Auch heute wirken die Filme keineswegs veraltet. Teil 3 fiel etwas aus der Reihe, da dort der Humor zu kurz kam. Dennoch, wirklich schwach, ist auch er nicht.
Der neueste Film gefällt mir hingegen sehr gut. Er erreicht zwar nicht ganz die Klasse von Teil 1 und Teil 2, aber Regisseur Shane Black (der zugleich Darsteller in Teil 1 war) gelingt es, wieder die richtige Mischung aus Humor und Action zu erzeugen. Nur die Story wirkt nicht so konsequent, wie die der ersten beiden Filme.
Negative Kritiken, die über diesen Film ständig verlautet werden, sollte man durch eine eigene Betrachtung des Films prüfen. Als Teil 2 damals erschien, wurde er auch von den Kritikern zerrissen und gilt heute als Kultfilm.
Richtig gut ist auch die Ultra-HD-Umsetzung der Filme geworden.
Wirklich erstaunlich, was selbst aus dem 32-Jahre-alten ersten Teil herauszuholen war. Klar- an heutige Produktionen kommt die Qualität nicht mal im Ansatz heran, aber die Bildschärfe ist beeindruckend. Hintergrundrauschen ist mitunter deutlich erkennbar, aber das war auch schon bei der alten DVD so.
Man kann aber definitiv sagen, dass Predator 1 und 2 noch nie so gut aussahen. Wobei Teil 2 im Vergleich zu Teil 1 kaum noch Rauschen zeigt.
Teil 3 und Teil 4 liefern ebenfalls eine richtig gute Bildqualität ab. Bei Teil 4 gibt es absolut nichts zu meckern: Tolle Farben, sehr guter Kontrast, hohe Schärfe und mitunter ein sehr strahlender HDR-Effekt.
Positiv überrascht hier zudem gerade der 3. Teil aus dem Jahr 2010, der ein exzellentes HDR-Bild mit grandiosem Detailreichtum und Super-Bildschärfe liefert. Der HDR-Effekt bei diesem Film kommt, meiner Wahrnehmung nach, noch deutlicher rüber, als beim neuesten Film, da Teil 3 viele Szenen zeigt, die im Dschungel spielen und hier das HDR sehr gut zur Geltung kommt.
Der Ton ist bei wirklich allen Teilen der Reihe sehr gelungen - besonders im englischen Original. Neben einer atmosphärisch-dichten Surroundkulisse, ist vor allem der Basseinsatz sehr prägnant.
Für Fans ist diese Sammelbox daher absolut empfehlenswert.
