Entertaining action film.

Rating: 7/10 (15 November 2006)

After hearing lots of negative feedback about 'Alien VS. Predator' I had my expectations pretty low. For my delight I was entertained by this clash of the modern monster titans.
After the uneventful beginning and cardboard characterization, we are taken to Antartctic ocean, in where Wyland, Wyland is played by Lance Henriksen, which is a nice nod towards the Alien series, corporations has located an ancient pyramid, buried deep within ice. The pyramid, of course, contains one deadly alien Queen and, to grant the other beast in the title, the predators are on their holiday hunt trip.
After most humans and predators have been wiped out by the aliens we get to see a pairing of predator and guide Alex (Sanaa Lathan), whom together wipe out the rest of the droolies.
If you can forgive pretty weak basic plot, and I see no reason you couldn't as this is an action film, the action is very entertaining. The aliens kill predators and humans and the predators kill aliens and humans and the humans just mainly die, like the humans they are.
I could write a lengthy article about the inconstancy's in the film. Most of them happen during the monster brawls, and mainly deal with the alien blood and the predator weapons, but I won't.
Paul W. S. Anderson has managed to make pretty decent action film. It isn't, say as good as the first Predator or the first Alien, but it is entertaining.
