Better than you would think

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2006)

Aliens Versus Predator is an action movie with the 2 legendary movie monsters; The Aliens and the Predators(Alien from 1979 and Predator from 1985)
The movie is based around Alexa Woods (AKA Lex) who gets hired by Weyland Industries. Anyone who has seen the other Alien movies will be glad to know what Weyland is still played by Lance Henriksen. Lex meets up with the rest of the crew that were just hired and they get their mission. A pyramid has been found underneath Antartica, and they have to get there. So they immediately start an expedition. Lex and the rest of the team drill to the pyramid and get inside. They find a "Sacrificial chamber" and this is where it all starts...
"Well I don't really know anything bout the movie yet ?" Well without ruining it all for you i can say that in the pyramid are things that should stay there. Go figure.
"So whats so great about this movie i reckon?". Well first of all its incredibly entertaining, fast paced and with some reasonable effects. Second of all, the plot is nicely laid out (though with some plot holes) and there's references to both movies scattered all over.
"So why aren't you giving it a 10?" Well because it simply isn't THAT good. Sure its fun. But there just isn't enough of it. They should have made the character introduction much shorter since its one of the longest already (almost 40 minutes, thats almost half the movie)
"Is there more wrong with it?" Yes. It is based on hyper violent movies. That they decided to leave all the gore out of this and make it a PG is beyond me... This also makes the death sequences more boring and idiotic. The acting is generally good, but some of the actors are clearly not top notch.
"Now you said it that way, i don't want to see it after all!" Well tough luck, its a great movie.
Final rating 7/10
Could have been better, but not bad!
