Predator (1987), directed by John McTiernan, custom SDR trimpass from the 4k remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including 5.1 remaster, director's commentary, a text-only subtitle commentary track by the screenwriters, Rifftrax riff commentary, Jaboody Dubs riff commentary, We Hate Movies riff commentary, and subtitles in thirty languages. IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093773/ Per-sequence HDR to SDR manually trimmed video from UHD HDR remux and encoded in two-pass 16.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned. Note : I'm trying something new today. We all know the Ultimate Hunter SDR remaster of this film has way too much denoise and kind of sucks, the 4k remaster has been available on Blu-Ray in HDR only, and the 4k SDR streaming version is just a pretty crude conversion of the HDR. So here's my attempt, with a little help from my friends, to provide a definitive SDR version of the 4k remaster with all the good stuff included. See below for technical details. Second only to Aliens, this is the other definitive 80s sci-fi action movie, also involving overconfident soldiers dealing with an alien threat they turn out to be ill-equipped for, but this is a much more macho affair, as it had to be when Arnold Schwarzenegger is our final girl, and the tone is set early on when Jesse Ventura entirely unironically refers to himself as "a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus", and then fittingly goes very extinct. It's a tight, well-structured action movie with essentially no fat to trim, well-sketched characters, great action set pieces, and endlessly quotable one-liners. The excellent, if not exactly Shakespearean cast also includes Carl Weathers, Bill Duke, Sonny Landham, Richard Chaves, Shane Black, R. G. Armstrong, and Elpidia Carrillo. Austrian soldier man "Dutch" (weird, but no one says Americans were good at distinguishing European nationalities) is the leader of an elite paramilitary rescue team slash American melting pot stereotypes showcase, who are called in to an unnamed Central American country by General Phillips to retrieve a local cabinet minister whose helicopter was shot down while straying across the border in the jungle. Dutch's old friend Dillon, who's now a CIA agent, joins the mission. They find the helicopter, and nearby three skinned corpses hanging in a tree. The corpses have dog tags revealing them to be Green Berets, and when the helicopter doesn't seem quite civilian, Dutch becomes suspicious of Dillon and the reasons they were sent in. Nonetheless, when they come across the rebel camp where they think the hostages might be held, they don't hesitate to blow it up with no regard for human life, as all the inhabitants are either brown people or Soviets, with the exception of one woman, who Dutch mercifully only knocks out. It turns out Dillon tricked them, there were no hostages, and he needed to stop some dirty commies from invading, but suddenly, they've got bigger problems, something large, deadly, and near-invisible is hunting them from the treetops. As the team loses members at a rapid and gory pace, Dutch has to change the rules of the game and face the alien in single combat. As mentioned, this is something new, I worked with a friendly anonymous colorist to create a per-sequence trim pass from the HDR UHD master, with some very slight grain management (some of this film is extremely grainy), and then encoded at a high bitrate to preserve as much grain and fine detail as possible. The 4k remaster is honestly very good looking except for the occasional excessive grain, tack-sharp with natural-looking colors and skintones, good contrast (although the night scenes were slightly too dark, so we lifted them a little, though they're still darker than the previous SDR transfer), and we took some extra care with the sequences with fire, explosions, or other color and brightness extremes. I think this is probably one of my absolute best-looking encodes ever. Sound-wise, the 5.1 track sounds very good too, the director's commentary track is interesting, and we've got a whole three different riff commentaries, including RiffTrax (only Mike Nelson, sadly, he's not quite as funny on his own), Jaboody, doing their usual thing, and We Hate Movies, which I was not previously familiar with, but which is also pretty good.
