Excellent film - Paul Anderson knows what he is doing....

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2005)

Paul Anderson's RE and AVP have a few things in common: 1) Pyramids - RE: It was an inverted pyramid, known as the Hive underneath Racoon city.
AVP: It is a pyramid underneath Antartica.
2) The Queen Bee: RE: Red Queen is the computer system behind the Hive.
AVP: The Queen Alien, is at the centre of the Pyramid.
The action sequences are the same - just one contains undead flesh-eating zombies, cougars, and Lickers, while the other contains Aliens and Preditors.
I do not think that you could have got a better director to put an Alien vs. Predator's movie together. When I saw AVP, I was thinking that this looks very similar to RE with a few character/story-line variables.
