Too short

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2004)

AVP was a good movie, it brought the camera work of Aliens, the claustrophobic environments of Alien, and dropped them into the Predator universe. With mixed results. It was a good movie, I suppose. It was just very very very short. Perhaps the director's cut will be better. Because, as James Cameron said in the introduction of the Aliens director's cut on the Alien Quadrilogy "The general consensus was to not make a movie too long".
The entire movie was just leading up to the Predator tossing his gauntlet into the egg-room, the most predictable move ever.
The one thing I did like was how they ended up linking it with the Alien movies (not just through the Weyland Corp. or "Bishop") when the Alien popped out of the dead Predator at the end it sets the stage for Alien: Aliens take over the Predator ship, it crashes into LV-426, they have 150 years to breed...etc
However, there were a LOT of plot holes. Do we assume that the Predator won every time except for that last time? Or are there pyramids with cryogenically frozen queens all over the place? Also, there was no "winner" and the humans sure didn't "lose", either. It was kind of a 3-way stalemate.
Long story short: AVP was a good movie for fans of the franchises, just don't make an AVP2. Although, the Alien franchise is infamous for making one too many movies (Alien: Resurrection, ewwww).
