Decent movie, but only a fan can truly enjoy it!

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2005)

For a complete experience I would recommend finishing the AvP game. All of my friends warned me this is a terrible movie and I've rented the DVD expecting the worst. Well, it was a pleasant surprise. I am a BIG Alien and Predator fan and what really put this movie alongside its more illustrious predecessors it's the fact that it stayed within the Predator universe. I mean the hunters have a code of honor (if you've played the game you'll understand better) and they stick to it. The movie, in my opinion, simply is a fresh point of view on the Alien/Predator filmography. The film have a few drawbacks, though. First of all it's too short for the amount of action involved, the incubation of the drones seems to be done on time-warp, the symbols on the walls are instantly read by the expert and so on. But... you have only an hour and a half for a lot of action so here is little room for witty screenplay.
