Entertaining, but not as good as it could have been.

Rating: 6/10 (16 January 2006)

In AVP, a group of scientists headed up by Charles Bishop Weyland, who's descendant would go on to create the Bishop android from Aliens and Alien 3. They go to explore it and accidentally discover two warring alien species.
This movie is an all around good time, very entertaining, because if you're a fan of the Alien and the Predator, you see your favourite characters in action, however, this movie doesn't really have the feel of the other six movies it's based off of. The first mistake was taking two successful R-Rated franchises and combining them into a PG-13 movie. All of the intense action, gore, violence, and horror from the other movies are gone.
Another problem I have is that they totally ignored the plots from the other movies. The Predator, who normally gets a thrill out of hunting humans, is totally changed in this. He forms a friendship with the lead girl and she helps him dispatch the Aliens.
So, while this film is fun to watch, it is nothing like the Alien and Predator movies, and it's just not the same experience.
6/10
