A drive-in sleeper

Rating: 4/10 (15 August 2004)

I've been a fan of both "Alien" and "Predator" films (but not the sequels) and the Dark Horse comics "AVP" series. However, this film fell flat for me. I felt they tried to cram many ideas into the film and did not delve deep enough. I felt rushed. The way the movie filmed, granted it's supposed to be dark underground, it took away from the finer movements that were not clear because of the bad lighting. The fight scenes were to blurred too make them exciting. Also, had you covered my eyes, when the Aliens were screeching, I would have sworn I was hearing the velocoraptors from "Jurassic Park".

Pretty much I had to think the film in my head to "enjoy" it.

Take a lot of coffee if you're going to see this.
