Very entertaining, but too short and too many flaws...

Rating: 7/10 (17 August 2004)

AVP seems like a movie that was inspired by the comics and the computer-games by the same name, but whose script was "edited" to fit a more mainstream audience and taking some sidesteps to get around the horrid resurrection.
As a sci-fi action flick, it was very entertaining. As the meeting of two story lines, it is found wanting. And 90 minutes, by today's standards, is a little short for a full-length motion picture, isn't it? Of course, nobody promised epic alien battles, but somehow I expected, well, more...
Read the AvsP comics for the storyline that inspired the movie. I think they are, storywise, better. Play the games to find out about predator-aliens and how they came to be.
