Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
cochrandarin I'm still scratching my head as to why folks didn't like this movie. It's got a great story, good cast, top-notch special effects and the action and fight scenes between the two infamous creatures is thrilling. It's definitely one you want to sit down with your kids and a pizza and enjoy it for what it is...a great sci-fi action flick, that will not make your top 5 of favorites of all time, but is definitely worth an evening in front of the tube. There are some unrealistic scenes, but we're talking about a movie where humans are unwittingly trapped between two alien species battling in a gillion year old pyramid under the Artic Ice Caps....were you expecting Lord of the Rings or Schindler's List? Anyway, this is one of the best examples of why you should ignore the whiners that thought this movie strayed too far off the original story of the aliens, or the critics that panned it for, well, whatever the so-called expert critics panned it for. The story does nothing to change the whole story of either species in the previous movies and is actually quite original. Sanaa Latham does good in the pragmatic and brave 'Ripley role' this time. Lance is great as a sick billionaire that can't wait to get down there and discover something that will change the history of humanity before he dies with cancer and Italian star Raoul Bova is great as another scientist that the team is glad that they brought along for the adventure. Watch the Director's Cut as it shows some more stuff that explains things a little better, about what happened to the first unfortunate souls that got caught in the crossfire of the two species.
alexpop This is not a Shakespearian tragedy, so don't expect emphasis on dialogue. But as a action sci-fi movie goes it excels in regards to fight scenes with Aliens and Predators. I have watched this repeatedly since viewing it in the cinema 2004. Great popcorn flick, a worthy entry into the Predator Alien universe.
view_and_review Alien versus Predator, what's not to like? Let's make it happen: Ali v. Frasier, Tyson v. Holyfield. All we need is a serviceable premise to pit these two against each other and we're talking about cinematic gold! Well, therein lied the problem. The story around having these two iconic creatures fight was awful. An underground pyramid has been accidentally discovered and a wealthy businessman wants to be the first to discover it. He hastily assembles a team of explorers, scientists and the oh-so necessary terrain expert, Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan). Of course instead of getting to brag about his landmark find, he finds he and his team are nothing more than canon fodder for the extra-terrestrials.Between the acting and the lazily developed story I was ready to scream. For thousands of years these inter-planetary predators would every so often visit Earth to harvest aliens in order to hunt them. What!? And as a parting gift to the humans that worshipped them they taught them how to build. Really!?Look, the only decent and watchable thing about this movie was the Predators and Aliens going at it like cats and dogs. After that there was nothing to pay attention to and nothing to hold my interest.
tiloubrunet I must admit that i used to like this movie (like, a lot). At the time i first watched it i was young and didn't watch Alien or Predator, so i had no comparison point. Almost 11 years after, rewatching it and it doesn't feel the same, i get easily frustrated at the shots where it's almost pitch dark in a situation where nothing special is happening. AVP Requiem have the same kind of shady lightning and it's even worst in this one than the original. The actors are OK at best and the story is lazy. It looks, smells and feels like a generic scenario for a sci-fi movie who needs to fits two franchises together. Both series are good because of their ambiance ( the deep space in Alien and the tropical jungle kind of survivor feeling of Predator). AVP, in contrast, is in a pyramid they found in Antartica.... Neither Aliens or Predators ever are on Earth, it's Sci-fi, not a new episode of Ancient Aliens.So yeah, watch it for the kickass battle scenes between predators and aliens ( even if there is few and you mostly see nothing thanks to the great lightning, good job guys). Don't expect to see a masterpiece here, it's more for the fans of Ridley Scott who wants to see something unique, but for most of people this movie will probably not remembered.
