| The Hunt is On!! |
You know, the 80's according to me is the best era for movies in the Action Genre. Although stars such as Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal and Mel Gibson contributed their share to the world of "Bam Bam & Kaboom", no one did it better than the "Austrian Oak" - Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It was the same time when Arnold went from "Conan - The Barbarian" to the real bad ass "The Terminator" Arnie was becoming hot property!
And the same goes for Predator.
An Elite team of Special Ops. A dark and intense jungle in Central America. Arnold and ofcourse, the merciless and fear inducing Extraterrestrial - the Predator.
For a movie that released over 25 years ago, the effect is unreal! Funny part is, i saw the movie on a very tiny screen, tinier than you would imagine! On my iTouch!! 320*240. That is all i get! Although the movie has a very thin plot, every single character that has been portrayed in the movie is today, a cult legend and the movie, a classic!
The movie follows a team of Elite commandos led by Major Dutch Schaeffer (Arnold) on a mission to rescue guerrilla hostages in a Central American jungle. As the movie progresses, the team soon realize that they are being hunted by an advanced biological life-form/warrior that is not of this world.
The PREDATOR...
Armed to the teeth with hi-tech weaponry and a brilliant camouflaging armor and with the skill of the deadliest hunters, it plays with Dutch's team. It taunts and toys with them. As one reaches half way through the film, one realises this -
IT kills for the sheer pleasure of killing.
IT hunts for the sheer thrill and sport.
and IT is out to kill every single man ever crossing its Cross-Hair.
Each time, the camera shifted to an uneasy point of view of the Predator watching and observing Dutch's team, with its Super Advanced Thermal Vision, one can't help accept the fact how eerie and creepy the mood transforms into..
As the Predator weaves an elaborate and deceptive trap to kill each man of Dutch's team, Arnold is left struggling to accept the fact that there is someone out there. More awesome and more powerful than anyone he has ever encountered before.
As the team seeks explanations to the mysterious and gruesome killings, they come face to face with the Predator as it reveals itself (partially) to the adrenaline pumped group of soldiers. Fear. Panic. Chaos.
The Hunters become the Hunted, its a clash of the smartest foxes (um. warriors) in town! M-16s firing, Mini guns blazing, blood oozing and most of all, Arnie with his mono syllabic dialogues, the tension ramps up every second!!
Down to the last man, Dutch (Arnie) makes a last stand to show who the real Terminator of Earth is! What can be more exciting than that!! Muscles rippling, pecs heaving, Arnie throws his weight around literally and finally comes nose to nose with the Predator without its headgear
As Dutch said it, "You are One UGLY M****R F*****R"
A gruesome face, claws snapping and blood curling war cry is enough to make you run back to your mommy!
So how does Dutch defeat this outworldly beast?? How does the Ultimate Soldier defeat the Ultimate Enemy??
Go watch the movie!! and you shall be enlightened!
So folks, i gota go, COS...
