“It may be our planet, but it’s their war!” The deadliest creatures from the scariest sci-fi movies ever made face off for the first time on film. The incredible adventure begins when the discovery of an ancient pyramid buried in Antarctica sends a team of scientists and adventurers to the frozen continent. There, they make an even more terrifying discovery: two alien races engaged in the ultimate battle. Whoever wins…we lose.In delivering PG-13-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 and R-rated 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

AVP (UNRATED DIRECTOR’S CUT) SHOULD READ : AVP (UNRATED we lost sooo much money on this film that we’re re-releasing it with a fancy new box in hopes that some sucker will buy it so we can feed our starving families ’cause we all lost our jobs after making such a crappy film DIRECTOR’S CUT)
I LUV “ALIEN”.. ALL THE WAY BACK FROM WHEN MY DEMENTED FATHER BROUGHT ME TO SEE IT WHEN I WAS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD!! I HATE PREDATOR! ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL! MY HATE FOR PREDATOR DID NOT DETURE ME FROM SEE THIS FILM IN THE THEATER THOUGH, IT WAS ALL ABOUT SEEING PREDATOR GET CREAMED BY THE ALIENS FOR ME! I KNEEEEEW THIS FILM WAS GOING TO BE BAAAAAD! I KNEW IT, BUT STILL WENT & STILL BOUGHT IT JUST THE SAME.. I WOULD HAVE LIKED THIS FILM MORE HAD ALL THE HUMANS BEEN KILLED IN THE FIRST 10 SECONDS OV THE FILM & THE REST OV THE SHOW WAS JUST ALIENS & PREDATORS DUKING IT OUT!! I MEAN, COME ON, THE TITLE IS “ALIEN VS PREDATOR” NOT “ALIEN VS PREDATOR VS A BUNCH OV ANNOYING, NO TALENT HUMANS”
THIS FILM HAS SOOO MANY FLAWS IN IT, I COULD WRITE A NOVEL! BUT I STILL LUVED IT, ON THE HIGH-CHEESE LEVEL.. MOSTLY.. MOSTLY JUST TO SEE A BUNCH OV ALIENS..
I HAVE A COUPLE POINTS TO BRING OUT IN THE OPEN & THEN I’LL SHUT UP..
1. WAS THIS A FAIR FIGHT?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!! STUPID HAIRFARMER PREDATOR HAS TONS OV TECHNICAL DEVICES & ARMOR & WEAPONS! ALIEN HAS NONE! WHAT COWARDS THEY ARE! THEY CAN’T EVEN FIGHT LIKE A MAN! THE WHOLE POINT OV THIS RIDICULOUS FILM WAS THAT PREDATORS ARE DROPPED OFF IN THE PYRAMID TO PROVE THEMSELVES AS WARRIORS AS A RIGHT OV PASSAGE INTO MANHOOD! PREDATOR, YOU ARE A COWARD! PUT DOWN ALL YOUR WEAPONS & DEVICES & STEP BACK IN THE RING, WE’LL SEE JUST HOW LONG YOU LAST! COWARD!
2. UHHHH, JUST HOW MANY HUMANS WENT DOWN THERE?
THERE WERE SOOOOO MANY ALIENS ALL THE SUDDEN AND I’M JUST REALLY CURIOUS WHERE ALL THE HUMAN HOSTS CAME FROM?? ..AND DAMN, JUST HOW FAST DID THESE ALIENS GROW TO FULL FORM! IT WAS LIKE SECONDS!
3. THE TIMELINE EXPLANATIONS
THEY ARE ALL JUST WRONG.. NONE OV THEM MATCH UP WHAT SO EVER.. ESPECIALLY BISHOP, IF HE WAS A “HUMAN” IN THIS TIMELINE, THEN THAT WOULD MAKE HIM QUITE A FEW HUNDRED YEARS OLD WHEN HE APPEARED AS A “HUMAN” AT THE END OV “ALIEN 3″
4. WHO REALLY WON?
ALIEN.. IN MY BOOK THEY WON. THAT RIDICULOUS HYBRID THAT POPS OUT OV THE HAIRFARMER’S CHEST SAYS IT ALL.. I DO PROMISE YOU THAT IF THEY MAKE A SEQUAL WITH A BUNCH OV ALIEN/HAIRFARMER HYBRIDS RUNNING AROUND, I WILL WALK DOWN TO THE STUDIO AND SET FIRE TO IT!
*HIGHLIGHT OV THE MOVIE
“WHALE BONES”
HA-HA-HA-HA! OH MY GOD, THE SCENE WHEN THEY PASS BY A HUGE MASS OV BONES SHAPED LIKE A WHALE AND SHE SAYS “WHALE BONES”…. WELL, YEAH.. NO, I THOUGHT THEY WERE CHICKEN BONES.. OH MAN, WHEN SHE SAID WHALE BONES, ME & THE OTHER 5 PEOPLE THAT MADE IT THROUGH THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OV THE FILM & STAYED, WERE LAUGHING SO HARD THAT WE FILLED THE THEATER WITH URINE!
OK, I’M DONE.. IF YOU DIG THE ALIEN MOVIES, CHECK THIS ONE OUT, BUT HAVE A LOAF OV BREAD BY YOUR SIDE SO YOU CAN MAKE A GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH!

Ok honestly, how many people that have seen any of the “Alien” or “Predator” movies would not be curious to see what would happen if The Alien and Predator met eachother in a face-off? That kind of curiosity is what drove me to watch “Alien vs. Predator.” And now, I’m sorry that it did.
The movie is about a man named Weyland whose satelite finds a temple 2000 feet underground in Antartica. Why he has a satelite over Antartica is a mystery to me. Anyways, he gets a group of archeologists and explorers to go into this mysterious temple that just recently appeared on radar two days ago and, oh yeah, already has a freakin’ tunnel leading to the entrance. The temple is actually the home of the Predators, who created the creature we’ve come to know as “The Alien” so that they could fight them every 100 hundred years thousands of years ago. And guess what? Its a hundred when the explorers go down there. Another interesting point, the information that I just gave was figured out by the explorers who A) Do not know anything about any of the creatures and B) Figured out the background history of the Predators by seeing that the humans of the time worshiped them, from pictures in the temple. Well, the Predators go into the temple and fight the Aliens that are in there and, well, they fight eachother. Thats about it.
First of all, the story is ridiculous. I hated how the humans seemed to know everything about these creatures. The humans found out how to be the Predator’s friend and actually fight along side of them in battles. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” is used throughout the movie. They figure out that the Predator doesn’t want to hurt them, but only take back one of their weapons that one of the humans had in the temple. Oh really? That explains why the Predators slayed all of the humans that were outside of the temple, since they had the weapon and all. Also, the ending is supposed to explain how the Aliens get into space, which is makes no sense at all.
Overall this movie was quite terrible, which is really a big disappointment for two movie fanchises that are as popular as “Alien” and “Predator.” I would definately recommend that you do not see this movie and tell anyone else that you know not to see it and save their money.

I think the reason the majority of the people were upset with this movie was because there was not a white female in the lead. It amazes me how people automatically downgrade a movie because there is a black person in the lead. I have seen a few comments regarding Predator 2 on here which starred a black male in the leading role. I feel if Angelina Jolie or another white female had been cast as the lead actress this movie would have gotten higher ratings. I thought the action scenes were very well put together and I liked the storyline. It didn’t bother me one bit that the story line wasn’t anything like the original Alien movies – in fact I think that’s why out of all of the Alien and Predator movies I liked this one the best. I am not saying the movie was perfect – there were a couple of things that didn’t sit well with me such as the Predator making Sanaa Lathan a shield out of the Aliens head because his acidic blood would have ate through her arm – but it wasn’t enough to make me throw my hands up in disgust and rant and rave about how bad of a movie this was. I feel it was job well done and I would go to see any sequels.
