with the release of alien v predator i decide to watch the original predator movie today . i have see predator many many time since i first watch it back in 1989 and i love it each and every time . i think predator 2 have a slight edge over this but predator have a slight edge over alien but i think they be all extremely excellent film . just in case you do not know and it about a big alien whose race live to hunt worthy prey and arnold schwarzenegger team of commando be that such prey . the commando be send into a south american jungle to find some missing airman who be be hold by guerrilla . they do what they get to do which attract the attention of the predator who be hunt in the area . so the predator go and hunt the commando with the aid of his kick as weapon and cloak device . the commando also have a female prisoner . i think the whole sub plot about the so called miss airman isn not too important to the viewer but make it possible for the commando to be there . the entire concept of predator be really clever and it certainly make me sit on the edge of my seat while watch it the first time . it be kind of spooky in a terrifying way a we do not see the predator properly for age but see through his eye which add to the tension . the effect be great and the acting be ok and the story be cool too . i really like the music and especially the spooky twist jungle sound that we hear when we see through the eye of the predator . this be a sci fi action movie that isn not just full of cheap explosion . it really do have great atmosphere . everyone who like sci fi and or or action movie should like this . if you do not then your taste in movie suck . this in my humble opinion be probably the second best sci fi movie of all time . alien v predator have little of what make this so excellent so if you haven not see predator and think avp suck do not think that this will . predator be absolutely fantastic viewing . positive .
