I Quite like it as an action movie, but it should have been more than this.

Rating: 6/10 (13 February 2006)

As a straight forward action flick, AVP has a place in the market; but here are two of the finest aliens to previously grace our screens, and frankly they deserved more.
The Aliens, probably the finest monsters in film history, have always been the ultimate prey for a race of Predators, for centuries man has worshipped these beasts, and every one hundred years we have laid sacrifice to the Predators by offering ourselves as hosts to the Aliens, in order for them to partake in the ultimate hunt.
In Antarctica, 2000 Metres beneath the ice; a ancient pyramid is found by Weyland Industries. Charles Bishop Weyland assembles a team to venture into the find, only for them to become very welcome additions in the battle of the species.
The problem is the sheer enormity of the movie, battle between two movie giants such as these should have never been attempted; this concept is never going be truly embraced by fans of either movie franchise and in particular fans of the Alien movies.
As i said this isn't all bad, but it does fail to capture the imagination and terror of the Alien movies, and the action of the original Predator film.
If you have to watch it, then watch it; but don't expect more than an action flick. 6/10
