English Say "action movie" in front of me and I'll probably say Predator. From start to finish, this thing goes at a hell of a pace and doesn't let up for even a second. The direction, the realistic action, Silvestri's elaborate music and the jungle setting make you feel that something is lurking behind every other liana. Even though I know Predator by heart, I always enjoy watching it again. ()

English I watched Predator again after about ten years. I can state without exaggeration that this film is more perfect than I thought. Even after all these years, a group of tough mercenaries hunted by an alien skull hunter captivates with a perfect atmosphere that benefits especially from the creeping voyeurism of the camera and Silvestri's unnerving music. Keeping a firm hand on all this is director McTiernan, who was one of the absolute best in the action genre in the 1980s... and went crazy in the 1990s. ()

English A significantly overrated film that capitalizes on nostalgia and the age of reviewers. It does not come close to the genre's peak by any means. It is literally an embodiment of genre clichés and besides the action, it offers only the exoticism of the Central American jungle. A simple story, characters that don't need to act due to script requirements as long as they look fierce and shoot wildly around them. Lots of stupidity - one of the mercenaries is holding a machine gun in his hand that is mounted on the undercarriage of planes and weighs so much that if I had to drag it through the extreme conditions of the jungle with 100% humidity, I wouldn't wait for a predator and it would end right there for me (probably after five minutes). The film does not have particularly innovative direction, but John McTiernan maintains a certain level - within the genre, there are undoubtedly incomparably worse films. I would give it three stars, even though I'm not a fan of the genre, but the political backstory, when the American commando fights against evil guerrillas, was simply disgusting. The political reality of Central America in the 80s was exactly the opposite - the American government supported any dictatorial scum... Overall impression: 45%. ()

English One of the movies I grew up on. A captivating atmosphere augmented by Silvestri’s music, an invisible, mysterious and cunning enemy and a team of soldiers led by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who in 1987 was enjoying his best years (and me too, in fact ;). A classic. I still have a VHS cassette with German dubbing and a simultaneous Czech translation. ()

English The 1980s belonged, among others, to an action muscleman born in Austria, none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger, who starred in many successful sci-fi films of the aforementioned decade. Predator is a brisk, bloody and thrilling trip into the jungle where something else, better said alien, lurks among the trees alongside the soldiers. Jesse Ventura and Arnie had some great lines and the composition of the action scenes was well done, so when you add in a pretty well done Predator, you end up with an above average sci-fi classic that, while not perfect, is definitely worth a watch.
