Don't bother seeing this movie...

Rating: 1/10 (15 August 2004)

If you've seen the originals (Aliens and Predator), then by comparison this is pure unadulterated crap. By paying to see this movie, you encourage Hollywood to keep churning out watered down, second rate, crap. No Aliens vs. Predators movie should have a rating less than R, nor should it be as undeveloped as this one. Like so many movies today, Aliens vs. Predators is just going through the motions, without adding anything note worthy or remarkable to the industry. I understand Samuel Taylor Cooleridge's willing suspension of disbelief, but this movie is just unbelievable. One line in the movie says, "ah, it's starting to make sense..." but I assure you, the movie never develops linearly enough for the situation to make sense to any of the characters. The movie is just over 1 and a half hours--no time for proper development, unless the script is air tight (this one is assuredly not). Perhaps I am being overly negative, and dismissing an important demographic audience...if you are 13 years of age, or younger (or have a 13 year old mentality), by all means see this film. At least I saw it for free...still I feel like the experience cost me something.
