QUARTER FINAL 4 - PREDATOR (1987) vs. THE MATRIX (1999)




PREDATOR (1987)

Defeated ALIENS in Round One. 36 (70.6%) votes to 15 (29.4%) (51 total).

In the battle of the Sci-Fi/Action/Horror hybrid 80's movies, Predator came out on top in Round One.

"Predator" himself was played successfully by Kevin Peter Hall for 99% of the movie. However, the original Predator was none other than Jean Claude Van Damme - however, he walked out on filming after a few days and was replaced.



THE MATRIX (1999)

Won the ROUND 8 ROYAL RUMBLE in Round One. 17 VOTES (27.4%) (62 total).

The Matrix pulled off a minor upset in the first round - knocking out a raft of amazing films - but there's no denying how good this movie is.

It blew people away upon release. The special effects were stunning, but more impressive was the mish-mash of various cinematographic and cultural ideas within the storyline, as Neo goes down a technological rabbit hole like a futuristic Alice entering Wonderland.



So who goes through to the next round - you decide!
 


Difficult one this... I preferred watching The Matrix to be honest but Predator is most deffo the better action film.... if that makes any sense.... Predator gets my vote.
 

The moment when Neo wakes up after taking the pill was a brilliant piece of cinema for me, I knew nothing about the film before watching it and really didn't see it coming. Perhaps I'm making it up, but the 360 slow mo action scene seemed pretty original and ground breaking at the time. Matrix for me, but its a tough tough call. I love predator.
