An intriguing, intelligent way for Aliens and Predators to battle.

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2005)

I loved AVP!This was one of the most imaginative films in the last decade! I had no idea of how Paul Anderson was going to be able to tie the two species together, but he did a great job! Also the fact that there was no romance/sex scene was a refreshing twist.This film is about a research party lead by Charles Bishop Weiland going to Anarctica to investigate a new heat source 2,000 feet under the ice. This is where the Predators from ancient times kept the Aliens for the ultimate coming of age hunt. Every hundred years the Predators would return and use their human worshipers as sacrifices to begin the hunt, ingenious. The characters were well written, without spending too much time on any one. The sets were stupendous, isolated and haunting. The Predators' weapons were new and improved without being laughable.I've been waiting for this flick for 14 years and was not disappointed. I ran out and bought the DVD as soon as it hit the shelves. Thank you for the comic art on the bonuses. Overall I give this movie a 10 out of 10.
