If you want to call this out for not being a bargain because it's still 50-freaking-dollars for a movie, that's fair!

But I've had it on my shopping list since release and it's the cheapest I've seen it on our side of the world. Also I already bought the steelbook at a ridiculous price because I'm a sucker for a little FOMO, and this is cheap in comparison lol.

You can get a little extra mileage from this deal if you use the buy two save 11% link.

I'd recommend In Bruges, Coraline, or Carrie.

    Ayo no shaming in collecting the stuffs you liked mate. Although sometimes JB does run the 50% Bluray or Buy one get one for free which might be better deals. But I guess if you can't wait, gotta do what you gotta do.

      Oh yeah, JB cleaned me out over Black Friday, no doubt :p unfortunately Disney have the lion’s share of distribution these days, and they’ve severely limited our means of picking these up locally :(

        True. Stocks are quite limited sometimes at local stores. Anw this movie did sort of kickstart the whole Predator franchise (again) after the horrible 2018 "The Predator" so I'd consider this to be somewhat of a memento lol

          Well I'm on 1000/50 and download 100GB games on Steam in 20 mins so it's definitely doable. Movies run for 90 mins so including buffer that's still slower than Steam download.

            @Bigboomboom: same but doesnt mean that you wont have problems …
            i did 5th element 100gb from my server through plex on sony oled… yeah wasnt good depends on whats decoding what..if i run plex through apple tv box to sony tv no problems.

        • Ozzster on 29/11/2023 - 10:53

          Good if it will be 12Gb. Streaming cuts bitrate so bad that the size reduces as much as quality. But anyway, this movie is full of darkness, not a big deal in this case.
          Btw, HDR 4K in original quality available for free download you know where.

        Worse quality than this? Of course. "Sub par"? Not really.

        Disney plus quality is as good as any other streaming service.

        It's just not as good as a 1080p blu-ray, and not even close to 4K blu-ray.

        Especially on a big screen OLED or a projector, and especially with proper home theatre audio (or even just a $200 Yamaha reciever and some old speakers from the 80s, like I'm using right now 😂).

      This is asked every blu ray thread

      Blu Rays have uncompressed audio and video, the size on disc is probably over 60gb, streaming probably 12gb

      For people with high end Oled tvs and surround sound systems the difference is big

      • Mario g on 29/11/2023 - 10:07

    I found this a pretty poor film with little of the horror tension found in the first and second Predator films. I certainly wouldn't want to drop a cool 50 to watch it.

    • dogboy on 29/11/2023 - 10:22
      +14

      Really? I thought this was easily one of the best Predator films to date. Moved away from the horror tension and more into the action and cool characters which was a plus in my books. After the original movie, the franchise just slid further and further downhill culminating in the terrible Alien vs Predator movies. Then they released the awesome Predators movie which was easily the best movie after the original. When Prey came out I was apprehensive but really enjoyed it and have watched it a few times now. Easily the 3rd best film in the franchise imo.

      • eswes on 29/11/2023 - 11:01

        Totally agree with Predators and Prey being at the top! I thought that Predators was the best Predator movie after a string of mediocre (sometimes terrible) ones. Having watched Prey, I now rank it above Predators. The change of setting to 1800s USA and the care taken to establish the core characters and their culture in the first half of the movie was excellent. I thought the ending was a bit of a let-down but a great movie overall. And I thought the soundtrack was good too.

        The idea of the Predator unable to kill a human without his mask pretty much ruins all his superpowers downsizing him to just another human.

    Prices like these will be the Norm for 4K, Jb even excluded NEW titles from their last sale, never seen them do that before.
    Australians are missing out on new titles, Jbhifi's 4K discs inventory is usually about 710 discs, now it's 655.
    Amazon au stock says US or UK, they are not sourced locally.

    Avatar and Avatar the Way of water is no longer on Jb's website.

    Titles like Titanic 4k, The Abyss 4k, Aliens 4K, True lies 4K, Point Break 4K and Conan the Barbarian 4k (1982) are not being released in Australia.
    Sanity has Titanic 4k listed at $97 so I guess that including import costs.

    Disney wants us to use their streaming services and have cut the supply of Disc's to us Aussies.
    For someone who prefers to watch movies on disc, I am going to be paying about $60+ per title in future because I can't buy them locally.
    It means, I'll buy less discs, which means places like JBhifi will say we are buying less disc's therefore we will stop stocking them. It's a viscous cycle.

      I mostly agree with you for sure. I hate the choices being taken away and them blaming consumers for the results.

      In potential good news, I hear Pinnacle may be taking over some distribution, so some films currently under the Disney umbrella could make it to our shores.

      And the only thing I don’t agree with is JB’s policy. They’ve often excluded big new releases from their sales, on films they know will sell big anyway.

    Learnt my lesson buying Blu-rays back in the day….they were awesome quality, then 4K came out and they became redundant, these will be good until another format supersedes it and you realize you have $10,000 of discs you can stream in better 8K super HDR quality for $19.95 a month.

    • Jake T on 29/11/2023 - 13:35
      +2

      You’re quite possibly right. I personally don’t regret any DVD or Bluray purchases I’ve made. And the more streaming takes over the more expensive it’ll become and the more channels there’ll be.

      Quality may one day become superior via stream. But $19.95 won’t get you very far when it happens. And you’ll own nothing you’ve paid for.

    • maverickjohn on 29/11/2023 - 13:43

      I don't think rooms are big enough to accommodate bigger than a 4k tv benefit. If you go 8k the screen size would have to go larger to accommodate.
      I think you can feel safe knowing 4k will do you fine for quite some time

    • Ninternet on 29/11/2023 - 20:13

      Blu-ray isn't redundant. Still better than streaming. Scratch resistant unlike DVD, looks great on modern 4k displays if you have a decent player with a good upscaler. Still 100% viable.
