I like this movie because it closes the gap between predator and aliens

Rating: 8/10 (24 May 2005)

In order to truly appreciate this film see Predator I & II, then AVP and go on to the Aliens films. Sounds like a long weekend but this film covers all the hints and mythos created by the Alien films(such as the prior knowledge of the Aliens and Bishops creator/template) and follows the pretext of the Predator films that they had been coming here for years even centuries. Lets get to what I like about this movie, fast paced, good special effects, better than average writing, and Paul Anderson directing,but this film should have been R rated with some better "murder,death,kill footage....yes carnage". The lead actors give credible performances, while the director creates suspense, and cleaver fight sequences that get you into the action...Aliens it's not but good it is.
