Well......What was this?

Rating: 1/10 (27 February 2006)

Before I start I'm a fan of the alien and Predator movies, even if I was a manic possessive fan who lived and died by the movies, not even I can defend this movie not only is it short (thank God because frankly it offends my dignity giving it 90 minutes of my attention) its also very very poor.
I'll give one nod to Anderson in this movie he went for guys in suits not all that CGI work Hollywood has become accustom to in the last ten years, and thats all he is getting in positive remarks, so let it begin!!!...
One this movie is pointlessly done, the acting is poor that would even spurn on the razzie nominations in the first two minutes of this movie, it is set in Antarctica which makes you wonder whats the point, further more Anderson decides to insult peoples intelligence with spider-webs inside a temple, thats right spider-web inside a temple deep beneath Antarctica so now I'm supposed to believe that spiders can survive in subzero conditions shame the movies plot couldn't.
Another thing is the Predator/Lexi alliance I was waiting for Batman and Robin music when they ran down the corridor, not to mention the "ITS A BOMB" comment yes great writing Anderson wasn't he supposed to be a fan?! To me he looks like a serial killer waiting for his next victim I'm still wondering and waiting for this guy to prove he actually has 'talent' and after this movie I doubt that.
I really don't understand how you can make this a bad movie, I think it was easier to make a good movie than a bad one but Anderson succeeded, how does he still get work? The in and out achievement by Anderson in this movie is to take two highly popular movie franchises throw them into a lackluster storyline topped off with a pinch of second rate actors who belong in street theatre and kill both franchises in a second rate train wreck of a 90 minute movie.
GOOD JOB PAUL W.S. ANDERSON (COUGH) 1 OUT OF 10 - FOX IF YOU MAKE ANOTHER GET A WRITTER WHO HAS TALENT THERE IS A lot OF THEM OUT THERE, ANDERSON HAS NONE!
