Product Information

this release provides a glut of enjoyable activity, including clear engagement of the Atmos channels beginning with the calamitous (if brief) spaceship played for some heartstring tugging moments, it's some of the vets who actually end up creating the most potent emotional tether with the Predator 2doesn't suffer the same severe DNR issues that destroyed the Ultimate Hunter release of the first film. It has a nice grain structure and there is some good detail clarity, but some shots look overly soft and the overall appearance looks like a dated mater from the DVD era.

especially overwhelmed with the look of the 1080p Blu-ray, thinking it was too filtered looking (ironically, Marty got to review the "non-DNR'd"saturation of these primaries is really remarkable throughout the presentation, easily topping the 1080p version. Even in some of the most heavily Arnie plays Dutch, leader of a Special Forces team, duped into a rescue mission, only to find themselves facing off against an alien predator who wants nothing but their skulls. Such a simple premise brought to life by director John McTiernan who cast his film with huge muscle bound ‘actors’ all of whom wanting to take their size to the next level, which brought about a rivalry and intense competition on set that gives a fervour to the on screen personas. The chemistry between the actors is intense and this coupled with a non-stop action script and an alien design that created an icon (thanks to a hasty character design by effects maestro Stan Winston) the effect is an action film that all want to live up to. It is pure in its unashamed identity and wears its credentials on its sleeve.

But you won’t need to do that because this monitor is fantastic right out of the box. By default, it’s set to produce DCI-P3 color, but if you want sRGB for SDR content, just turn on “SDR Colors sRGB.”.It is like seeing the film for the very first time; indeed it is probably better than its theatrical release thanks to the WCG and HDR which breathe new life and depth into every frame. Barring the occasional softness that creeps in, a product of the source and has always been there, the detail on show is terrific. Skin texture, clothing weaves, weapons, ammo casings, jungle leaves, mud, water; everything has a decent edge and is crisp. Thirty-five years and five sequels and spin-offs later, and finally we have a clever, original, and truly worthy Predator follow-up. On a mission in a Central American jungle, a team of commandos find themselves hunted by something not of this world.
