Better to have left these creatures in their original films.

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 2018)

This is an insult to the creatures of the first 2 Alien films and the first Predator. Alien Vs. Predator is a gimmick - an all-too-blatant attempt to lure fanboys away from their computer games and into theaters. It's not likely that the movie will be of great interest to anyone else, except perhaps as a curiosity. As an attempt to revive two flagging franchises, the film succeeds in reminding us of how far they have fallen. Sure, the Aliens in Alien Vs. Predator look just like their Aliens counterparts, but gone is the creepy terror they once produced. And, compared to the hunter of Predator, the creatures in this movie turn out to be pushovers. The atmosphere is alright and I guess there is some frill to the proceedings but overall its better to go watch these glorious monsters in their original films.
