Just Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (11 October 2004)

Just so disappointed to have waited so very long only to see the folklore of both Alien and Predator be so thoroughly mis-used. Anderson has only ever given sub-standard formulaic genre films and I didn't have high expectations for this but having seen the film I am disgusted by the basic lack of respect in his treatment of both classic creatures.
The plot holes are enormous. The nature, habits, and philosophy of both creatures are simply wrong (The Preadators are simply big buff human types who don't speak). The fight scenes are poorly edited and we don't even see much of what the title promises. Science-Fiction films usually respect the laws of science, or depart from them for creative purposes. This film simply shows an extremely poor grasp of basic science and has major goofs throughout.
Wait till it is a weekly at the local DVD store.
