AVP (Alien V Predator) is it a good film?

Rating: 7/10 (4 November 2012)

AVP (Alien V Predator) has some brilliant monster design, great use of CGI and models which are all put to good use. AVP isn't that scary compared to the original films. It might scare a nine or ten year old but it does have a 12 rating. It does show all the monsters key traits, such as the Aliens ability to climb along walls and the Predators unique hunting weaponry. Whenever an Alien appears and something bad is about to happen the shot cuts away, this is frustrating. There is a lack of gore but loads of alien goo. The characters in this film aren't all that interesting, there are only 3 that really stand out. I found some of the characters annoying and the rest were just there to die. The story is good, set in 2004 on Earth a satellite passing over Antartica discovers heat signatures resembling a pyramid. Wayland Yutani, owner of the satellite, sets up a team to investigate. They soon find themselves locked in a battle against the Alien and Predator. I recommend this film, if you are interested in the franchise buy it, if you just want a good action I suggest you rent it.
