Not too bad...

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2006)

Yes, it could have been so much better, but it really is not too bad. Both the Predators and the Aliens are in character. What I find so distressing is the number of unfair reviews from other IMDb users.
One reviewer said: "Yet, like many, I can't help but be stumped by the sudden and surprising complete personality change in Lance Hendrickson's character, Weyland. For the entire series he has been an obsessed megalomaniac with only one goal, capture Aliens to bring to earth for "The Company" bioweapon devision. He has gladly sacrificed entire ships of people to get what he wanted....and yet now he's somehow on some quest to save his soul and to make the "great discovery"? It's a complete personality flop for the character, and I must say that his character being portrayed as having no clue about the Aliens whatsoever, makes absolutely no sense at all."
Alien took place far in the future. The company, Weyland-YUTANI, wasn't even named until Aliens, and THAT was 57 years after the events of Alien, which was set far in our future! Are we to believe that the Weyland in AvP is from the future..?
Another reviewer said:
"2-plot:how many flaws u can see in this movie?a lot. 1st there is only one queen....what in the hell is she doing here?how she could go to LV-426 after being on the deep frozen ice of Antarctica?the predators went back there and brought her to LV-426?!in one word....STUPID!"
From Alien 3, we are led to believe there can be more than one Queen, as Ripley herself has been implanted with one.
In the end, if you are a fan of the creatures, then you may find yourself enjoying AvP. Yes, it IS more like "Humans running around scared...and a little bit of actual AvP", but it is entertaining, none the less.
