Classic sci fi/action flick. Just awesome.

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2006)

I've seen too many good action films to make a top ten list, but if I did, I'm sure this would be in there. Predator tells the story of an elite military team that goes into the jungle on a mission from the government, but they end up fighting for their lives against an intelligent alien creature that hunts humans for sport.
The story and concept behind this movie are just awesome. Making a sci fi film into a hardcore action film is the coolest idea there is, which is why I like Aliens so much. There is non stop action in this film, and for action fans, it's a really fun ride. The Predator has to be the coolest otherworldly creature in the history of movies. The technology the Predator uses represents movie magic at it's best and most creative. Another cool part of it is that Arnold is in it. I mean, no matter how many times I watch this film, I'll never get over the fact that this movie is not one you'd expect to see Arnold in.
Listen, the simple fact is if you're an action fan or a sci fi fan, this is definitely the film for you. You will love it. It's just one of those great American classics with great scenes and great quotes that will never go away.
9/10
