We cannot bash this film enough! Come on everybody, do your part!

Rating: 1/10 (10 August 2014)

Everything that needs to be said has been said by other reviewers, so I'm merely doing my filmotic duty here by helping to shove this turd right down to the bottom of the septic tank. Any rating over 3.0 means we still haven't completed our work, people!
Mistake: they set it on Earth.
Mistake: in the present day.
Mistake: Cube.
Mistake: the aliens are seen as the enemy, even though it's the predators' fault the whole thing... oh, sorry, got actually *involved* for a moment there. Remember the wise words of Bill Hicks. Don't get all baffled. This is just a piece of s***. Nothing more.
What makes me angry is that it could have worked if only somebody with some talent, even the smallest part, had been involved.
Obviously it had to be set some time in the future, and realistically on some godforsaken planet somewhere - Earth would have been too much of a stretch in any case, it would have pushed the stakes up too high and forced everything to have to be 'epic'.
The alien is dumb - remember? It's just an animal, a 'survival life-form', as Ash put it (paraphrasing) in the original, beautifully terrifying film.
The predator may well be psychotic, but it's technological and very cunning.
The humans are whatever the script-writer wants them to be.
So how about thousands of alien drones, so they actually pose a THREAT? Maybe a whole human civilisation got wiped out by an alien infestation and now bazilliods of the scary cockroaches are laying dormant in the rocks? In the meantime some truly bad-ass space-marines are fighting off a predator attack and... oh-oh, guess what gets woken up! There are a thousand ways this could have been played. Almost all of them good. And all of them NOT THE WAY THIS IDIOT PIECE OF GARBAGE WAS PLAYED.
When I was watching it in the theatre (don't ask, just... don't ask), my girlfriend at the time turned to me, and the conversation went like this-
GF: "So, this is Alien..."
Me: "Yup."
GF: "Versus Predator..."
Me: "Yup."
GF: "On *modern* day Earth..."
Me: "Yup."
GF: "In the Cube."
Me: (thinks for moment) "Um, yup. You've got it."
I have only one reason to thank Riddley Scott for the pile of steaming crap that is Prometheus: all the stuff that has been kicked out of canon. Alien III and the other abortions that followed are now gone (there was only one queen, ever, and a human was too small to gestate it). And along with them, the two AvP coldsores are also flushed into the medical waste (ditto the above plus also the aliens didn't exist until well into the future). Sorry doods, anything by the original director wins, end of story.
