A good action movie

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2005)

I really liked this movie. I thought the action scenes were excellent, and that the creatures looked amazing. One thing I hate is when filmmakers overdo it with CGI effects, as well as when you can actually tell the CGI effects from the rest of the film, and, in AVP, all the creatures looked very organic. I also loved the references to the original movies.
As for the actors, Sanaa Lathan rocks in every movie she makes, and makes for a terrific action heroine. Ewen Bremner was very good as the chemical engineer, and you really sympathized with the guy. The rest of the actors were not given much to do, but they did well with the screenplay.
Overall, a fun movie. I give it a 7/10.
