Here’s an article I wrote comparing the picture quality between the original Predator Blu-Ray and the upcoming version. 20th Century Fox has given the new release a digital restoration and they weren’t kidding. Predator looks stunning. The grain that plagued previous releases has been removed completely.
Predator: Ultimate Hunter Edition goes on sale June 29th in the US and July 5th in the UK.
Guh, this is like Predator fans bitching about the lack of human character development. Get it right people. If you care more about the humans, you're an OOMAN fan.
Does it throw off the old horror gritty feel? Yes. to some degree, but those of you that want to keep that, practice your free will and not buy it in blue ray?
screw the 8 track. Stick to vinyl. rabble rabble, dismissed.

At least they know what they are talking about...
@Predator Warloard: I'm sorry but you are an idiot. Fox DNR'ed the living crap out of the image and the DNR screwed up because of his shirt. While removing the grain and dirt that plagues the image it mistakingly took his face as part of the red shirt and removed any detail his face had. Don't try to convince anybody that it's because of the tropical heat...

This new version looks better in that it is brighter and virtually no grain, but the DNR seems to have been applied a little bit too much. The characters look almost too smooth and unnatural.
That said I still like this more then the old version.
It looks great, stop crying. Go watch the VHS...it's still there waiting for you.
You guys tell me wich one looks more realistic... Predator should have grain. Not as much as the previous edition, but it shouldn't look so clean as this. Every little detail has been completly removed. Fox screwed us over and I'm afraid to what they might do with 'Aliens'.
