the worst thing is...it's not even THAT bad!

Rating: 2/10 (24 January 2005)

Paul WS Anderson has made some really bad movies. movies so bad that it can easily support a conversation for an hour or so on why they are so terrible. he also made Event Horizon, which was so disturbing that i enjoyed it and again, could talk about it for quite a while.
I have been waiting as long as the next guy for the Alien/Predator slugfest and was just as mortified as the next guy when i found out who would be helming it. and to my shock, this film wasn't nearly as bad as i had figured it would be. unfortunately, that's what makes it even worse. if the film was the worst thing i had ever seen, i'd still remember it. and an Alien/Predator flick should be remembered, either because it sucks or because it kicks ass. well, AVP is bad, really bad...but more than that, forgettable. i couldn't tell you anything from the film because i don't remember most of it...good or bad. and in my book, a movie being remembered for being bad is better than not being remembered at all.
It's a shame that two iconic sci-fi properties will simply be regarded as a fuzzy memory.
