This film is a sure fire candidate for 4K ready after Robocop. I would bet a lot of money on it.

Just got this from Foxconnect!
It is a 3D/2D combo Blu-ray plus a DVD. It is a lenticular cover, but its badly done. Very dark...like you screwed up the brightness and contrast on your TV until everything was shrouded in blackness. It is a transform effect: The same artwork from the case is the first image, in the swap image Arnie is covered with the heat vision of the Predator and a scope target overlays the entire thing. I don't know if I got some weird dud that made it so dark or if they just blew it. Hopefully others will comment on how good their cover is. |

thatscifiguy, sorry to hear about the slip cover issue. How do you like the 3D? I hear it's mild but decent.

Late watch tonight.
3D is mild to occasionally medium with a nice roundness most of the time. The quality of the conversion is pretty good, and I noticed no ghosting on my passive set. The jungle setting actually gave many opportunities for nice layering and depth, with branches and vines between the camera and actors working particularly well and providing some of the more distinct 3D elements. It does come and go to some extent, especially at the end when its night and the 3D gets swallowed into the darkness. Nevertheless, IMHO its a good enhancement to the film. I think it really benefited from the fact that action films of the time favored steadycam instead of the shakycam of today, and weren't victims of the epileptic gnat on speed fast twitch editing you often see in modern films. For example, Jumper and Gamer both suffer (among other reasons) from fast editing that makes it hard for the 3D effect to become apparent before you are looking at something new. I place this one's 3D well ahead of Jumper and Gamer, but Jurassic Park is superior. And yes, the DNR is there but I think maybe it helped the 3D in a weird way. Still, at the beginning in particular you get that truly disturbing wax figure dead look to their faces. That becomes less of an issue once they get into the jungle and are covered in sweat, blood and dirt so it is what it is. |

I gotta say after skimming through this that I'm really impressed with the 3d here and think that Fox is finally getting their home conversion act together! I badly want a copy of this (especially considering that I still haven't seem the movie yet *facepalm* ) and I keep drooling over the particle 3d effects in the conversion here! So many flying sparks!!!!!

So by the sound of it, it's a good conversion.
Still keeping my copy of Predator Edition as it is signed by the man himself. ![]() |

The pre order on Amazon does not list a Region. Usually if I blind buy based on this it works on region B.
Does anyone know if this is region locked yet? I am going to assume because of the listing and that the UHE was able to play on region B that this will also. My region A player is PS4 and it won't play 3D....so if anyone can confirm? |

From the video samples at the top of the page, I'm mildly impressed... which is more than I thought I'd ever say for one of these JVC conversions. There are issues and it's fairly flat but the conversion quality is mostly good. If they keep doing this and convert a flick I really like at this quality, I'm in.

I had some small hope for a new transfer but this seems like another pointless release. If they're going to start selling us the same movies again and again (this time in 3D!
