This ranks among my favorite action films

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2004)

Alien Vs. Predator (8/10) stars Sanaa Lathan, Lance Henriksen, and an assortment of others. The film plays out like this: heat is detected in Antartica by a satellite and a team goes to investigate. They uncover a temple that is 2000 miles or feet or whatever beneath the ice. The temple has characteristics of several different cultures including: Egyptians, Aztecs, and Cambodians. I forget the rest. Anywho, the team first encounters a creature we know as Predator. Then, they later run into Alien. Then Alien and Predator meet and all Hell breaks loose.
First of all, the suspense is really thrown at you when the temple begins to shift around. I was like: "OH MY GAWDD!!!! HE'S GONNA GET CRUSHED! HE'S GONNA DIEEE!!" Yes, folks, I'm one of those people. I also liked the historical things featured in this movie. In my World History class at school, we are studying the first civilizations. So far, we've only talked about Egypt, Sumeria, and... you don't care. Then, there's the action. The action is glorious. The fighting is intense.
Then something happens that I don't quite agree with, but it didn't bother me that much. The humans unite with one of the monsters. Judging by the nature of the creatures in their own movies, you can pretty much know which one would side with them.
I liked this movie sooooo much better than Freddy Vs. Jason because it steered away from language, nudity, and cheesy dialogue. (There are some pretty lame lines in this movie, but there's only like... four, whereas, in Freddy Vs. Jason there's about 3924823904 ridiculous lines.)
The only things this movie really has in common with Freddy Vs. Jason is: two infamous horror legends go at it in a battle royale, and the ending. Freddy Vs. Jason 2 is being discussed and I imagine that AVP 2 will be at some time in the next ten years. (If you know how FVJ ends, just replace Freddy and Jason with Alien and Predator and you've got it. Minus the winking of the decapitated head's eye.)
I look forward to the next Versus movie. I wonder what it will be... Robocop Vs. Terminator? Batman Vs. Superman? Pokemon Vs. Digimon? I suppose we'll just have to wait.
