Utter Disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2004)

When I saw the trailer for AVP, I was expecting a great movie. Action, adventure, obscure and made-up religious references, and suspense. I found myself shot down for all but the religion. I have never seen a more predictable movie. Even technical discrepancies in the movie were predictable. Every single time a character couldn't see the enemy, it was above them. You could even figure out the order in which the scientists would die. Most of the time, it was nearly too dark to see anything at all. The ending was possibly the most contrived you could expect. I was enjoying it despite the poor script until I saw the end, and all respect I had for the script writer left the building. However, I will say that it was well cast, and had superior effects and good scenery. Now add a decent script and you'd have a good movie.
