Chicago TribuneMichael Wilmington
It's a murky, empty-headed dive into the depths of the Antarctic and the heart of monster movie cliches that leaves you praying for most of the cast to get killed off fast, to put them (and us) out of our misery. Read full review

ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
The film is critic-proof and it will find an audience, but it's hard to imagine even the film's target demographic (teenage boys) being overly enthusiastic about the product. It's disposable entertainment of the worst kind. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerDavid Hiltbrand
Anderson gets style points for the pyramid, though. The building - a combination of Aztec, Egyptian and Cambodian elements loaded with sophisticated gadgetry - totally rocks. Read full review

Film ThreatPete Vonder Haar
It will end up frustrating fans of both movie franchises enough to make them wish someone more competent was in charge. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJack Mathews
The actual fights between the predators and the serpents are too silly to contemplate. Both shiny and metallic, they look like kitchen appliances fighting it out. That's when you can see them. Writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson ("Resident Evil") has created the darkest, if not worst, sci-fi movie since "Battlefield Earth." Read full review

This space invaders stuff is, like, so 1981. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
Take a wretched premise. Imagine the worst picture that could be made from it. Then imagine something even worse. That's Alien vs. Predator. Read full review
