In a Time When Sci-Fi Action is Plagued With Overt Religious Symbolism and Wire-Fu...

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2005)

It's refreshing to see a straight forward science fiction action flick. The Plot: Predators use humans to breed Aliens for a hunting ritual in an ancient pyramid. Simple. The twist: the humans take the Predator's guns, thus leaving them ill equipped to fight the Aliens. And the Aliens are pretty mad about their imprisonment and slaughter and are looking to tip the scales. But why should we care about a couple monsters slugging it out? Because there are still people in the pyramid and if the Predators all fall, then nothing will stop the Aliens from killing them and moving on to the rest of earth.
With the dark and haunting atmosphere, chaotic combat scenes, believable characters, and the realistic special effects; Alien vs. Predator is the perfect movie for a Saturday night or whenever you want a cool action movie with a plot.
