Don't Waste Your Time

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2004)

I saw this movie tonight, and it was horrible. The script wasn't quite as bad as Pootie Tang, but it belongs in the same category: Crap! In addition to that, the acting was pathetic. The director even managed to get a bad performance out of Lance Henrikson, who is usually good in his films. The bad thing is, I actually like the director of this film. I enjoyed Resident Evil and Event Horizon. But it makes me wonder how RE2 will turn out with him writing the screenplay. The effects in AVP are alright, but nothing to get worked up about. There are a couple of plot holes and plenty of annoying characters, as with just about every horror film ever made. This one is just so sub-par. Trust me when I tell you that you can make better use of 90 minutes than to see this film. Go rent Alien and Predator at your local video store. Then, after you've watched them, use your imagination to think up a movie where the two legends meet and have a war. I am sure whatever you come up with will be better than the garbage that is wreaking havoc on your local theatre.
