Blu-Ray Review: ‘Predators’ Reboot Plays Better at Home, But Still Disappoints
Submitted by BrianTT on October 28, 2010 - 10:24amCHICAGO – Perhaps it’s because it is so clearly inspired by a retro style of action but Nimrod Antal’s “Predators,” now available on Blu-ray and DVD, plays better at home than it did at the disappointing theatrical screening in the middle of summer 2010. It’s still a bit of a disappointment, but it’s one of those films that’s nowhere near as bad as it could have been and features a few strong set pieces, especially in HD.
