Disapoints...

**There might be minor spoilers**
I am not kind of a guy who easily dislikes a movie.. I mean, I really enjoy watching movies like Independence Day or Armageddon, or Bad Boys 2.. These movies are claimed to be very bad, down the drain, full of s*** but I enjoy them so hell with them. Maybe they are not the greatest movies ever, but they fulfill their duty: they entertain..
But AvP.. On one side, we have the Alien... One of the most legendary sci-fi plus horror plus thriller movies ever, maybe the best.. Followed by good sequels (yes I liked A4 also). On the other corner there is Predator which starred in two not great but still good movies... Also what was nice about these creatures is that they were mysterious.. No one knew a thing about them.. And ending of Predator 2 was a shock when we suddenly saw the changing theme..
AvP has a lot of these two, which destroys the desire to be shocked.. First of all, the whole basis of the movie can be easily scrapped: Predators coming to Earth, making people worship themselves, build special pyramids and every x thousand years come to earth to hunt? That's Ridiculous!
Ah come on Anderson, nowadays all we have is earth earth earth, hero hero hero, kung fu kung fu kung fu, fantasy fantasy fantasy, comic book adaptations, horror movies that use same color for ghosts and creatures and always remake of a Japanese movie.. They might be good or bad, thats not my point.. My point is: Who watched a decent, enjoyable, good space movie in these last 1-2 years? I can't just remember one that pops out in my mind.. Attack of the Clones is good but not that much of space action, Star Trek Nemesis was not as good as expected but because of being a fan, I respect it.. I don't know.. I can't say any..
OK, here is my scenario: You want a close date? Its 2016, and one of the first space marine ships who are roaming the solar system find an unidentified ship, which is first proof of existence of alien life.. They think its deserted or safe, and board it, but the ship is a "a lot more realistic" Predator ship and they also have another kind on board: Aliens..
But what we had was tons of different races of Predators, some fancy but disrespected, stupid aliens, and I couldn't decide should I laugh or cry during last 15 minutes.. I was wondering if those two would share a nice, wet French kiss?
This is one of the few movies I will not defend, it was bad. Maybe the only good thing about the movie was Lance Henriksen but he was not treated well enough.. 3/10
