Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
In delivering non-18-rated excitement, Alien vs. Predator is an acceptably average science-fiction action thriller with some noteworthy highlights, even if it squanders its opportunity to intelligently combine two popular franchises. Rabid fans can justifiably ask "Is that all there is?" after a decade of development hell and eager anticipation, but we're compensated by reasonably logical connections to the Alien legacy and the still-kicking Predator franchise (which hinted at AVP rivalry at the end of Predator 2); some cleverly claustrophobic sets, tense atmosphere and impressive digital effects; and a climactic AVP smackdown that's not half bad. This disposable junk should've been better, but nobody who's seen Mortal Kombat or Resident Evil should be surprised by writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson's lack of imagination. As a brisk, 90-minute exercise in generic thrills, however, Anderson's work is occasionally impressive... right up to his shameless opening for yet another sequel. --Jeff Shannon

DVD Description
A team of scientists find themselves caught in the middle of a fight to the death between a group of Predators and Aliens - whoever wins, we loose.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing as franchise sequel, great fun as sci-fi actioner, 13 Jul 2006
By Mr. Stephen Kennedy "skenn1701a" (Doha, Qatar) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
If you forget that this is the continuation of two very successful franchises, and consider this as a graphic novel adaptation, then it is actually a bit more successful than people give it credit for.
In tone and spirit, this is much more of a Predator movie than an Alien movie - it is as an Alien movie this most disappoints. However, as Predator movie I would suggest this is better than Predator 2 was.
The plot is set in modern time, when a heat signature revealing a hidden pyramid under the ice is seen by satellite. The owner of the satellite, played by Lance Henrikson, brings together a team of archaeologists, biologists and `security' (the equivalent of Star Trek redshirts I guess) to investigate. What they find is a pyramid used by Predators to hunt the ultimate prey - the Alien.
The rest of the story is just bunkum, and don't think too hard about many of the continuity points because much of it does not quite work, but the action scenes are handled adequately, mostly by pilfering ideas from the previous movies and reproducing them in watered down form for characters we have not yet come to care about. Best original (-ish) idea was that the pyramid reconfigures every 10 minutes once activated, to add spice to the hunt and help split our characters up to be picked off one at a time.
Saana Lathan is no Sigourney Weaver, but a stronger character than one might expect from Paul W. S. Anderson (who also directed Mortal Kombat). Nice to see Colin Salmon, the English actor of several Brosnan era Bond movies, in another role - shame it wasn't in a better movie.
Overall, this is not a disaster as a movie given its rushed production and low bdget - but don't go in with any expectations of anything approaching even the worst of the Alien movies. Think of it as a so-so Predator sequel and you get the idea.
3 ½ stars - I'll opt for 3, because of the corny script at times.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's very good...yet very bad at the same time., 17 Feb 2005
By Dr. Ramani Chelliah (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Alien Vs Predator had so much potential, and could have been one of the greatest films of all time. The terrifying atmosphere of Alien, the fast paced action of Aliens, the sheer gore and violence of Predator, and (what could have been) breathtaking fights between two of the greatest movie monsters ever.

Instead, we get a predictable tale of mediocre acting and effects, strung together by a story very loosely based on AVP: Prey (an AVP comic and novel). Bascially, a hapless group of scientists, drillers and a 'guide' (who, may I point out, was not even needed afterall) travel to a deserted region in Alaska where an underground temple has been discovered. Little do they know, they have set off a chain reaction which will awaken the Xenomorph (or Alien, for the non-fans) terror and bring the Predators to earth for a rite of passage.

From the start, we can tell who will die and who will survive (as other reviewers have stated, the "These are my lovely sons/loving families" line is always the giveaway, while the strong, well-meaning, and all-round annoying lead female who is blatant Ripley-wannabe clearly has a long life ahead of her). Obviously, we would not care that much about the humans anyway, but such cardboard characters and poor acting is just unforgivable.

*Some spoilers*

The Aliens and Preds were done fairly well, though it is easy to see where the CGI kicks in. The fights, however, are a major dissapointment. We don't really see what's going on, and the Preds do some REALLY idiotic things (the 'greatest hunters in the universe' don't seem to be at all capable of hunting their way out of a paper bag). It's hard to root for the heroes of them film when two of them get ripped apart by a LONE alien one after another (remember, I love Aliens, but even I found this a little silly). The main Pred, Scar, is also depicted as quite weak. Unlike the badasses from Pred 1 and 2, this newbie is totally lost without his massive shoulder-gun.

The way some of the characters were immortal also annoyed me a bit. The lead female, Lex, was always just out of reach of all attacks from Alien and Pred alike (even when her comrades where slaughtered from much greater distances), and her attackers always seemed to conveniently stall right before they attack here (leaving themselves wide open to an attack from their rival species). And...I could have sworn Aliens have acidic blood? Well, I guess they just don't bleed when they're attacking a main character. The lead Pred also seemed to have luck on is side: unlike his ill-fated comrades, his weapons and armor are unaffected by the acidic blood of the aliens.

Though most of us were hoping for a 2 hour, R rated, ingeniously written gore-and-fight-fest with likeable characters, the actual film was possibly just about average, and it's various flaws may be overlooked by fans. Most adrenaline junkies and mild-thrill seekers will be entertained too.

3.0 out of 5 stars It does excatly what it says on the box, 24 Jan 2008
By Antonio Moncayo (Zaragoza) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This is a treat for those fans of the alien series , although of inferior quality than the first 2 movies.

A group of scientists is drawn to the Antartic ocean by a powerful signal , what they unveil is a hidden piramid whith some explanations of why the Aliens and Predators ended up in Earth.

Packed with some good action sequences ( albeit not original ) and some semi convincing acting , there are some let downs ; Lance Henriksen ( Bishop in Aliens ) is not at its best and the scene when he uses the inhaler is very poor.

This movie will make you enjoy 2 hours of harmless sci-fi but do not expect anything original or very good.

The extras on the DVD are interesting and add dimension to the story.

3 1/2 stars.
