ThisAn Alien and Predator face-off movie sounded interesting and could have been an enjoyable action movie. The first Alien Vs Predator was alright and watchable but it definitely was a step down from the other Alien and Predator movies. This movie, however, is just average and dull. The human characters are boring and I didn't care on what they had to say. I mean come on, no one from the previous film returned! There's even a romance story in this silly plot and just seems out of place in an Alien/Predator movie. I would have also preferred the film to be set in space or the jungle which seem to be a natural setting for an Alien or Predator film instead of mostly being set in an urban city; yes I know that Predator 2 was set in an urban city. The Aliens and the Predator once again look grotesque and scary. Thank god the filmmakers kept their original design. The Pred/Alien (the Predator and Alien Hybrid) looks freaky but sadly, we not treated to many scenes with him in it. The Predator is the lone hunter and the Aliens are the horror freaks. The Alien, Predalien and Predator confrontations and the fights that they have do liven up what is a pretty dull movie. Oh when I say dull, I say this in terms of lighting. The battle scenes between the Predator, the Humans and the Aliens are shot in near complete darkness and it's very hard to see what's going on; very briefly, you'll get a glimpse of the action through the eyes of the Predator's thermal vision which helps distinguish what's going on. It really spoils what could have been a fun action flick. It may suit the tone it's trying to set: a horrifying atmosphere for Humans and its therefore good for the aliens to pick them off one by one without drawing attention. I know there's a brightness button on my TV but even with the brightness turned up, I still couldn't see very clearly in those dark scenes. The movie's plot incorporates the terrifying Alien breeding process, we Alien fans should know: Facehuggers attack humans and impregnate them with an Alien embryo, the Alien bursts out of the hosts chest and Alien terrorises civilisation by poking victims with its lethal little mouth. It's not scary because I've seen the process about 5 times but there's one scene in the movie which is disgusting and vile but I'd say it's one of the highlight of this movie and nearly as memorable as the chestbuster from the first Alien movie. Just like any other Alien/Predator movie, this movie is quite violent with human and Alien blood splattering all over the place and other violent behavior. The ending was stupid and the final battle wasn't as epic as I would have expected. The first Alien Vs Predator movie felt like a step down from the other Alien/Predator film but it has a slightly better story and was set in a more suitable setting for the Alien and Predator confrontations. This movie is nearly unwatchable thanks to its dull and dark battle scenes and I'd say it earns the title of the worst Alien/Predator movie I have seen.… Expand

The plot is boring, if there is any to start with. It was just a gruesome action movie with battles, and not even good battles.

This is worth a rent if you and some friends want to get drunk, but I would only recommend that you buy it if it's in a box set. First time I saw this, I loved it, but it gets worse with each watch. AVP3 should only be made if Predators turns out good, and if they make an Alien 5 that is just as good as the first few films.… Expand

My biggest complaint with this movie is that the first half of the movie doesn't focus on the conflict of Aliens vs Predator, but rather it spends almost an hour giving us the backstory of the human characters and only gives us the occasional glimpse of an Alien or Predator. It's disappointing and boring because these characters are just stereotypes that have been done before in tons of other movies. But when the Aliens and Predator are finally set free on a rampage the movie gets enjoyable, but by that point half of the movie has rolled by so you only get about 45 minutes of the awesome fights. Part of the reason that is so upsetting to me is because I wanted the whole movie to focus on the fight between the two species, with some dumb humans getting caught in the middle to be little more than a tasty snack. But alas we get to focus on the humans this time, which is truly sad. Another issue I have with this film is that it seems some things that were put into this movie, like watching a child chest burst open or pregnant women in labor getting killed and having their unborn infants getting destroyed, seem to be put into this movie to shock or offend, but instead just come across as extremely bad taste. The writers should truly be ashamed. So enjoyed the second half of the movie (that's when the fight begins!) but hated the first half, and because of this the movie gets a half score.… Expand

Los personajes son aburridos, olvidables y algunos mal actuados. Ejemplo: en una parte un Alien mata a una persona en frente de otra persona y en ves de sentir miedo parece que esta mirando a la cámara, y cuando le preguntan que paso parece que en ves de miedo tiene frío. A mi me gusto un poco AVP1 por que al menos las escenas de acción eran buenas y algunos personajes memorables, me acuerdo de la protagonista, me acuerdo de el fundador de la corporación, me acuerdo de el arqueólogo (aun que no sus nombres, creo que ni los dicen xD) pero al final me pareció decente, sin embargo, esta película es lo contrario. En las escenas de acción la cámara se mueve mucho aparte de que esta muy oscuro y lloviendo a la vez. Los únicos personajes que me importaron eran el policía y el Predator, el resto me daba igual, hubiera preferido que el poli, Dalas y el predator hubieran escapado en ves de la niñita inútil, su madre aburrida, y el hermano de Dalas con Dalas. En la anterior habían unos cuantos errores que pensé que se solucionarían aquí como: que los Alien tardan de 1 a media hora en salir del cuerpo en ves de 2/5 horas como se ve en las películas de Alien. Aquí lo empeoraron, según parece el PredAlien puede poner huevos dentro de sus victimas y reproducir los Xenomorphos sin necesidad de una reina Alien. Le doy un 04/10 es dolorosamente mediocre, menos mal que hoy en día AVP1 y AVP2 ya no son canon en las franquicias Alien y Predator. Aunque seria genial que fueran del mismo universo y espero que en el futuro hagan un AVP canon como debería ser.… Expand

It was Ignore the stat skewing votes, this movie is about average. Crippled by the premise of of aliens on earth carried forward from its much worse predecessor by Paul Anderson, this movie at least manages to get the R-rated gore right. It was further acquitted by a surprise ending that one hopes sets the franchise back on the rails. Featuring the Predator as our silent protagonist is both ambitious and flawed. More to be watched than listened, "Wolf" is a ruthless character true to his roots, his methods are interesting to follow and fans are spared the Predator-human buddy movie travesty of AvP1. Humans are relegated to being cliched bystanders, so the largely mediocre dialog and sketchy characterization remains secondary to the action. A small American town is the stage and its hapless inhabitants and protectors are mere statistics in the titular conflict between species, which is the central focus here. Rather than let this be a drawback, the brothers Strause manage to stay true to the limited scope of their creation and keep things simple. The monstrous antagonist brings something new to both worn franchises. With blended shades of the Predators who repeatedly fail to contain it, the Predalien runs rampant through sewers, streets and buildings, sparing neither pregnant women nor babies, while threatening to spawn overwhelming numbers of xenomorphs. AvP:R might appeal to Predator fans more than Alien aficionados. But while this movie provides no more and no less than popcorn entertainment, it still isn't the Requiem Fox should be aiming for.… Expand

Of course, after reading all the critics scores, I went in with pretty low expectations, so me and my buddy were able to enjoy it, although largely laughing at how bad it was in parts. At various points in the film, I could practically see the script writer pulling his inspiration from other (better) films before. i.e. "Hey, I loved that scene from the original Posiden Adventure where two groups meet, both heading in opposite directions, both thinking their's is the one path to salvation. No one will remember that scene, so let's do that here!" It wasn't all bad though. Go in expecting clunky dialogue, bad acting, and all the rest, and you can actually get some enjoyment from watching a predator and aliens go at it. Not that it will ever happen now, but man, I would love to have scene what James Cameron would have done with this. Now that would have been awesome.… Expand

I don't know if anyone else had this problem- but when I saw this movie the picture was incredibly dark. Horribly so. I watched an internet preview and it was sweet, because I could see the action.

I loved the part where the hot teeny bopper gets smoked by the predator disc.… Expand

This is often rated as weakest movie in the Alien and Predator franchise. While it is not total garbage it has some weaknesses. I like the set up, some ideas and the Alien & Predator scenes. On the other hand I don't find the human charactersThis is often rated as weakest movie in the Alien and Predator franchise. While it is not total garbage it has some weaknesses. I like the set up, some ideas and the Alien & Predator scenes. On the other hand I don't find the human characters and their stories that much interesting while not being awful. Also a lot of scenes are too dark to see anything clearly. This weakens the movie a lot as it is hard to figure out what is going on. A complaint by other I do not understand is the lack of ideas statement. It is Aliens vs Predators and not A Shakespearean play and for this we get enough. The story follows the events of the first movie. The Predators are leaving Earth after the rite of passage from the prequel but did not recognize that one of them was implanted with an Alien. This took them of guard and their ship crashes in a rural area in Colorado with a small town. The last dying Predator sends out a distress signal and on another planet a superior ranked Predator notice the and starts a clean up mission. This is the set up. As sidenote: An Alien is always stronger and more durable than the (unwilling) host species was. So an Alien from a Predator is far superior than one from a human. Like I said the Alien and Predator stuff is enjoyable and even the human stories are tolerable. However the later do not wow me. It is a bit more hit than miss for me. The characters aka actors are decent for the genre. Nothing outstanding but also nothing to start a rant. The special and practical effects are fine but take it with a grain of salt as I said a lot of the movie is too dark too see clearly (That is not a joke). Overall I think it is watchable but nothing worth to remember in both regards (Awful and awesome). As it hits a bit more than it misses a 6/10 is a fitting rating. As an afterthought: The blue chemical the Predator use is a far more potent weapon than anything else. A spray gun or injection dart would be devastating.… Expand

A bit of a mess in my honest opinion. Although the "Alien vs Predator" action and fighting would not have been so disappointing... if only the lighting wasn't so appalling! How could they get this so wrong? Characters are forgettable, scriptA bit of a mess in my honest opinion. Although the "Alien vs Predator" action and fighting would not have been so disappointing... if only the lighting wasn't so appalling! How could they get this so wrong? Characters are forgettable, script is bland, plot was puzzling, and filming was just OK. Although I am a HUGE fan of the ferocious "Predalien". If only I could see it most of the film considering it was dark 3/4 of the time. "AVP" I enjoyed quite a bit, and considered it a bit underrated. But, "AVPR" is NOT a worthy sequel to that film. Quite a letdown to both the Alien and Predator fans out there, looking for a great, if not a decent combination of both the franchises. Nonetheless, still worth watching if you are a fan of either franchise. You don't want to miss this one out, even if it is a disappointment in the highest degree.… Expand

Disappointing. I had high hopes, liked the earlier aliens films, and was excited to see the aliens on Earth finally. Nah. It went too slasher horror style, and didn't retain the tough marines against aliens feel of the second movie. Pass.
