All I want for Christmas is...

Predator 3D Blu-ray

"IF IT bleeds, we can kill it," is Arnold Schwarzenegger's sage observation on the titular alien in career highlight, Predator.

Turns old Dutch-boy is right - and that luminous green Predator juice is about to look more vivid than ever before on the forthcoming 3D Blu-ray release of John McTiernan's 1987 creature feature.

An action adventure set in the Central American jungle might not seem like the most obvious candidate for retro-active 3D treatment.

Apparently, foliage is notoriously hard for the computers involved in post-production 3D rendering to deal with.

However, advance word from geeks who saw preview footage of Predator 3D at the San Diego ComiCon has been surprisingly positive.

If the actual release reviews of Predator 3D are as good, it might be enough to convince me to finally make the jump from plain old 2D-based home entertainment.

Fingers crossed that Arnie and co's ill-fated trip into 'tha meat grindah' is about to gain a whole new dimension of fun.
