"There's Something Out There Waiting For Us & It Ain't No Man!"

Rating: 7/10 (11 March 2012)

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers and Kevin Peter Hall star in this 1987 sci-fi film. A team of commandos are hunted in the jungle by a mysterious alien lifeform. This begins in space with a spaceship traveling to Earth. We then meet Dutch Schaffer (Schwarzenegger), a special forces Major who gets sent on a rescue mission with his team to the jungle of South America. He works with colleague and friend, Dillon (Weathers) who's now a CIA operative. Dutch and his crew head to the jungle killing the captors of hostages and find a General's team that has been skinned alive. Soon, Dutch's team becomes hunted by a mysterious predator and the remaining members discover it's not an ordinary man, but a creature (Hall) from space. Dutch becomes the only survivor who wages his own battle with the creature before he's killed next. This is a good sci-fi/action flick, Arnold is great as usual, Kevin was creepy as the Predator and Alan Silvestri's score is excellent. I recommend this 80's classic.
