The Final Scene is Worth the Price of Admission

Rating: 5/10 (26 April 2007)

The problem with the Aliens and Predator franchise is that, in my opinion, the first films were so extraordinary and the bar is so high that it's unlikely that any subsequent addition to the series is able to approach them. This film stands up well enough when compared to any other sci-fi or adventure film. It just can't approach the early entries in the Alien or Predator series.
The flaws in this film have been addressed ad nauseum in other user comments. I do have to say that I thought the fight scenes between the predators and the aliens were well worth the price of admission, especially final battle between the alien, the predator and the human. It's okay to skip past all the build up and junk between the fight scenes. You won't miss anything. I recommend this film on the merits of the fight scenes alone. The blend of CGI and live-action are extraordinary.
By the way, Ewen Bremmer is great. He's quite fun in this one.
