A Blunted Point?

Rating: 4/10 (26 December 2005)

The English Oxford Dictionary states that "The Point" is "The most significant or relevant factor or element".
I agree, for Alien Vs. Predator seems to be lacking any relevant factors or elements that are remotely connected to the original Alien and Predator.
This bombardment of butchery can produce such a negative awareness, that the participating viewer would be in complete ignorance of the fact that the original Alien and Predator franchises should only be judge in their own unique right. Here we have a horror movie amalgamation of what would seem to be a poor creation of a Frankenstein's Monster.
We have no kind of narrative to relay any past information to the viewer; all we are given is a poor description of two fighting Cultures who both have the necessity for using the human race for reproducing the Alien life force. Then when these newly born creatures are born, by growing inside the willing victim, ripping open the stomachs, to fight against their archenemy, the Predator.
This concept here exploits past creations of others hard work, trying its best to make something of itself by pretending to be something it certainly is not. Both the Alien and Predator creatures here are neither terrifying nor are they believably realistic. As this movie is being sold on the pretence of the Battle of the Giant's, then it has missed all significant and relevant points of reason. This reason being if you are going to amalgamate two-horror franchises, then you had best make them what their reputation's represents, such as suspense, originality, a good story and a better script.
The only redeeming quality that Alien Vs. Predator has is its artwork, having an original cinema quad poster framed and hanging in my home, this is a shame that the actual movie can't live up to its imagery.
Is it any wonder that Alien Vs. Predator was nominated for the 2005 Razzie Award for Worst Remake and Squeal?
Point taken?
