Filmtracks: Predator (Alan Silvestri) Predator: (Alan Silvestri) When considering the early projects of Arnold Schwarzenegger, many fans have argued successfully that Predator presents the actor-turned-politician in his most varied and human light. The propulsion behind his Predator score caused the music, like the film, to be adopted as a cult classic, with bootlegged versions of the music appearing everywhere in the decades following the film's release. He would go on to score Predator 2, which was larger in a symphonic sense (and made for a more impressive title theme in the opinion of some), but lacked the purely primordial edge of the original. www.filmtracks.com /titles/predator.html   (1188 words)

Predator (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Predator is a science fiction movie directed by John McTiernan and released on June 12, 1987. Surmising that the Predator won't kill a victim unless they are armed, Dutch kicks a gun out of the woman's hands and tells her to get to the evac helicopter. Additionally, the Predator itself lends to this theme due to its ability to attack, kill, and escape nearly undetected, often with the skulls and spinal columns of its victims to be kept as trophies. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Predator_(movie)   (2827 words)

Predator (1987) It just is. The muscle men, so often the scapegoat of bad films, manage to make something of the situation and you can actually believe that they are a crack team (with the exception of the nerdy Hawkins, who seems completely out of place). The actual predator alien is a weird but original creation, which is instantly recognisable and has gone down as one of the classic film monsters. The predator's menace is also enhanced with the brilliant "thermal imaging" point of view shots we are treated to throughout the film. www.popcornpictures.co.uk /pfilms/predator.shtml   (543 words)

Digital Monkey Box Reviews: Predator 2 The success of the first Predator film guaranteed a sequel, so Predator 2 was born. The drawback to this method is that it makes the film so different from the first Predator film that it is kind of a let down to fans of the first film. Predator 2 is that it is placed in the “future." This isn’t a problem normally, but the “future” is only 7 years from the 1990 release of the film. www.digitalmonkeybox.com /predator_2.htm   (1253 words)

Alien vs. Predator (2004) - Ninth Symphony Films Review Point blank: the predators in this film (there are several) do something that is so completely at odds with their nature that several scenes elicit laughter from the audience rather than awe or excitement. Although the second "Predator" film was not as ingenious as the first, even that poorly regarded sequel followed the "rules" of the game and showcased a predator that was true to its nature. The only place in which this film excels is in its alien and predator effects (just look at the photograph at the top of this review for the crew's beautiful creations). regencylady.tripod.com /site/filmreviews/alienvspredator.html   (1202 words)

indiayogi.com - Movie Mythology - Predator, Mythology At Movies, Hollywood Movies, The Movie, Myth, India, Indian, ... Predator is one of the best action films ever made. In Jungian terms the film is about how man has to confront and transcend (not conquer) his Shadow side if he ever hopes to become an integrated person. The exposition or darkness stage of the film is when the team of commandos lead by major Dutch Schultz prepare to rescue a bunch of hostages in a tropical rain forest somewhere in South America. www.indiayogi.com /content/mythology/f_predator.asp   (1584 words)

GamingWorld X - Alien Vs. Predator: Extinction Preview Close to three years ago, amidst rumors of an Alien vs. Predator film (rumors that, sadly, have not since then amounted to much more), PC gamers got to enjoy one of the best franchise-based video games of quite some time. Predators will have all of their classic hand-to-hand and long-range weaponry, different species of Xenomorphs will make their appearances, and the Marines take control of all the classics such as Smart Guns and Pulse Rifles. Starcraft developers Blizzard haven’t officially acknowledged the Aliens and Predator films as inspiration for the game’s races, but off the books, several on the staff have cited their love of these particular SF creations. www.gamingworldx.com /xbox/AlienVs.PredatorExtinction.shtml   (967 words)

moviefans.de !!! Predator... Archiv... Now he has decided to use a bunch of ALIEN eggs to make a hostile 'Hunt' attractive environment for the Predators to come back and hunt in, while he and his team set to study their technology and so he can get more of whatever is prolonging his life. From what I've been told, the Predator in this film is the son of the Predator from the first movie and has come to Earth following his "right of passage" to get revenge on Dutch. The last 1/3 of the film takes place on the Predator's homeworld where The Rock is made aware of the Predator's intentions and why he's being hunted and released into the wild in very unfamiliar territiory. www.moviefans.de /predator/archiv.html   (2558 words)

12-Inch Stealth Scar Predator | Cool Stuff | SCI FI Weekly Last year I reviewed a 12-inch pair of figures based on the Alien vs. Predator film, an Alien and a Predator, and the detail was excellent in both figures. McFarlane has produced several fine figures from these films, and this one is most interesting not because of the detail McFarlane is famous for producing, but because it has all of the hallmarks of a McFarlane figure—molded completely in clear plastic. For example, the Scar Predator has shoulder-blade joints, joints that mimic the action of the collarbones, angling the actual shoulder joints forward and backward by quite a bit, which allows for some nice dramatic poses. www.scifi.com /sfw/cool/sfw13091.html   (752 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Predator 2 (Sen) (REGION 1) (NTSC): DVD: Kevin Peter Hall,Danny Glover,Gary Busey,Rubén Blades,Maria ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) If you are a fan of the Predator films or film music in general, buy it (especially at such a good price!) you won't be disappointed. The story has dated a little now because so many films have done the same kind of thing since so if you're not a hardcore fan this is going to be wasted on you (pretty much Like Aliens 2 which is also a classic). It's certainly undeniable that the Predator is the real star here, and rather than simply re-hashing the original story we do learn a little more about the creature, which is always good. www.amazon.co.uk /Predator-REGION-Kevin-Peter-Hall/dp/B00007AJG4   (1270 words)

Last check: 2007-11-05) It was very evident throughout the film that they were actors and not real people in the context of the film. Alien Vs. Predator is a sequel to the first two Predator movies, and a prequel to the Alien series. While the original two Alien films and the first Predator film were more cerebral, I believe Alien Vs. Predator to be better than the later films of those franchises. www.amazon.ca /Alien-Predator-Paul-W-S-Anderson/dp/B0006FO5G4   (1877 words)

"Alien vs. Predator" / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies Aliens, the second film in the franchise, was incredibly well-received, and definitely a fan-favorite, as well as made a ton of cash and cemented James Cameron as an extraordinary filmmaker. Being a big aliens and predator fan I was worried they would taint their coolness with some cheezie lines or bad acting, however it was quite the opposite. The basis of the film isn’t bad, since the connection was already made in Predator 2. www.christiananswers.net /spotlight/movies/2004/alienvspredator.html   (2550 words)

Predator 3 Problem 2: Predator 2 was boring re-hash of the first film in a different setting. Maybe in Predator 3 they have enslaved a human and brought him back to their planet. The most enjoyable part of Alien Vs. Predator, was the 5 minutes of the film where the beasts actually fought. www.brianchernicky.com /predator3.html   (512 words)

Alien vs. Predator When audiences caught a glimpse of an alien skull mounted in the trophy cabinet of a Predator in the 1990 film PREDATOR 2, it seemed a franchise was about to be born. Anderson’s encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Alien and Predator was critical in his efforts to avoid contradicting elements of previous Alien and Predator films. In another nod to the first two “Alien’ films and to “Predator,” Anderson decided not to reveal the creatures and the battles early in the story. www.rottentomatoes.com /m/alien_vs_predator/about.php   (3405 words)

AVP: Alien Vs Predator : film review Bremner finds some Predator weapons in a sarcophagus, with the immortal line "this is like finding Moses' DVD collection!" - an indication of the humour that lies ahead. The Predators, surely the godfathers of progressive rock, fight the Aliens, and in a memorable and farcical Matrix tribute one of the face grabbing Aliens is paused in mid-air. Of course not all the humans are unharmed, but it would spoil the fun to tell you who, and there is plenty of Alien acid, Predator slime and human blood to keep the gore count up. www.musicomh.com /films2/alien-vs-predator.htm   (573 words)

Rothman didn’t elaborate on when we might see a "Predator 3" and whether or not there’s any truth to the talk that Sylvester Stallone might be being coaxed into doing battle with that ‘one ugly’ um, Predator. Most recently, Sam Park was said to have handed in his crack at a "Predator 3" - which is rumoured to again fix on Schwarzenegger's character, Dutch, and be a two-parter that would carry on over to a "Predator 4". www.moviefans.de /predator   (1430 words)

Filmtracks: Alien vs. Predator (Harald Kloser) As hard as it is to fathom, the predators are as close to being the good-guys as any party can get, and the musical approach taken for the film by composer Harald Kloser follows the history of the predators' music on the big screen far more than the aliens' music. His theme for the film carries over the anthemic qualities from The Day After Tomorrow --after all, this is serious material for comic book collectors!-- and performs it in a similarly slow style with emboldened brass and an enhanced choral presence. Kloser does make an interesting distinction between the predators and aliens in his sound effects: the predator makes a metallic slashing sound for the wrist-worn blades it uses in battle and the alien produces a more extended, swishing and scraping sound that imitates its distinctive cry and whipping tail. www.filmtracks.com /titles/alien_predator.html   (750 words)

August 2004 | blackfilm.com | reviews | film | alien vs predator Well, after viewing the film, I have to say that the film certainly has its fault, but there's enough of the usually kill and fight sequences that we crave for to make this film worth seeing if you like the genre. Considering both franchises had long been dormant due to its lack of profits over the years and the fact that Sigourney Weaver and Arnold Schwartzeneggar were no longer willing to repeat their performances, it's refreshing to see the species that we were once afraid of come back to fight each other. That someone happens to be the Predators, who, from outer space, have been watching the humans invade their territory. www.blackfilm.com /20040813/reviews/alienvspredator.shtml   (735 words)

predator - film review for zone-sf.com Indeed, the outward bravado of the team members, like the predator's cloaking shield, serves as only temporary protection, as one by one they are hideously dispatched. During the film's early sequences, Dutch is weary of death and destruction. Predator helped anchor Schwarzenegger's reputation as an action hero, but unfortunately the actor slowly abandoned roles such as these and instead attempted to expand his personality on screen, resulting in groaners such as Twins (1989), Kindergarten Cop (1990), and Last Action Hero (1993). www.zone-sf.com /predator.html   (597 words)

ALIEN VS. PREDATOR - Production Notes...CinemaReview.com....Movie Reviews, Movie Contents, Moviegoer Opinions and Much ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Anderson’s new mythology for AVP posits Predators visiting Earth thousands of years ago, when they were worshipped as gods, exerting a strong influence on certain cultures, like the Aztecs and Mayans. Building upon their work in the previous Alien films — and on H.R. Giger’s original Alien design and Stan Winston’s Predator creations — Gillis and Woodruff were careful not to change the look of the Alien and Predator so radically that fans would be upset. The Predator still has the weapons he used in the two earlier movies, including a telescoping spear, which has been streamlined and made more decorative with a ceremonial look. www.cinemareview.com /production.asp?prodid=2627   (2648 words)

Predator Film Review - Time Out Film Big Arnie straps on the fetishistic military hardware for a rumble in the jungle with a merciless, camouflaged alien (Hall). A routine operation to rescue a cabinet minister captured by South American guerrillas turns into a fight to the death when Arnie's crack platoon is picked off one by one by an invisible adversary, which then makes itself visible, removes its protective helmet, and challenges him to a fair (!) fight. With its stilted dialogue and hammy acting, the film has the look of an expensive production but the feel of a B movie, delivering the sort of undemanding monster mayhem Arnie's fans have come to expect. www.timeout.com /film/71360.html   (142 words)

FOREVER HORROR - Alien vs. Predator - Series News As far as the story, we are told that in the past, the Predators used the the Aliens for hunting purposes, as a right of passage for the young Predator to become men (er, for lack of a better term). They showed some storyboards of one Predator defeating an Alien, holding its severed head in victory, as well as some boards where three Predator are overrun by thousands of Aliens, and upon realizing that they have clearly lost the battle, they activate their self-destruct technology. The story revolves around 5 "teenage" Predators who are set to undergo their right of passage with the Aliens at this newly discovered temple, with the humans caught in the middle. www.michalak.org /fh/AVP_News.html   (8162 words)

ALIEN VS. PREDATOR - WIDESCREEN DVD Set in the present, Alien Vs. Predator finds billionaire industrialist Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen) recruiting, Jurassic Park-style, a team of amazingly good-looking eggheads to investigate said frozen artifact. Even the special effects are awful, either computerized to death or shot on a heated Antarctica soundstage where it snows all the time but a person's breath doesn't show. Anderson has bestowed the Predators with the personality of Klingons and has made guns lying in snow give off heat signatures in the Predator's infrared vision; I know you're not looking for Shakespeare here, but you're not even going to get Stephen Hopkins. www.filmfreakcentral.net /dvdreviews/alienvspredator.htm   (726 words)

Aliens Vs Predator film movie trailer review at The Z Review Alien Vs Predator will be released in the UK on R2 DVD on the 14th February 2005. Alien Vs Predator will be released in the US on R1 DVD on the 25th January 2005. Considering the depth that must be drilled to reach the Aliens, the Predator may be a late arrival who uses the humans' own passage to the temple."
