Doubtless "AvP" stands for "all very predictable"

Rating: 1/10 (29 September 2007)

"Alien vs Predator" begins with a contrived plot with one purpose: to bring humans, aliens and predators so that inevitable conflict may ensue. The filmmakers must have thought that the synergy of having aliens and predators in one tremendous battle would be overwhelmingly entertaining. However, "Alien vs Predator" is an exercise in mediocrity and worse than "Alien" (1979) and "Predator" (1987).
This film's main weakness is its story, or more appropriately lack thereof. Most of the story is limited to the confines of repetitive action sequences. There are some marginal story developments that occur beyond this, but they failed evoke my interest.
Add to this formula clichÃ© characters and performances and dialogue that is easily forgettable and it becomes clear why "Alien vs Predator" drags throughout its duration. Even the film's final conflict and the subsequent story development are flat. If you have not already seen "Alien vs Predator", avoid it in earnest.
