It could have been good ...

Rating: 5/10 (18 August 2004)

(CONTAINS SPOILER!!) The story was intriguing but the film was too short and the script was too bad. My friend made the best comment saying that it would have been cooler without the humans. I tend to agree. I think the better film (SPOILER UPCOMING) would have been the film they set up at the end of 'AVP.' An Alien running wild on a Predator vessel. Not sure how the dialogue would work but I am sure grunts and yells would be an improvement over the last script.
It did a good job with the PG-13 rating leaving just the right amount of gore and leaving a lot to the imagination. However, (SPOILER) the film just ran too short. Things happen in quick bunches and then it just ends. However, bump it up to two hours and you will really see the films weakness (bad script).
I feel this could be a franchise where the 2nd film would be much better then the first and, as we all know, Hollywood does not always choose quality when it wants to birth a franchise (mmm. Police Academy).
