Absolutely Awful

Rating: 1/10 (16 August 2004)

A complete waste of an hour and a half of your life. DO NOT SEE THIS! You will hate yourself afterwards. The story, dialogue, character development, camera angles, acting... well... basically everything, completely sucked. A disgrace to both franchises. This had archeologists with assault rifles. Predators who can't hunt. Aliens that grow from face hugger embryo, to chest buster to full size monster in 10 minutes. An idiotic attempt at a scene in bullet time. And the best of all, a heroine that runs around killing aliens with a makeshift spear and shield made out of alien body parts. And somehow she never gets burned while she's skewering these things like lamb kabobs and they're flailing about spewing acid everywhere. Apparently if the Colonial Space Marines in Aliens had ditched their weapons and explosives and done the spear and shield thing they would have kicked a lot more ass. People in my theater were actually laughing out loud, rolling their eyes and yelling, "gimme a break", at the screen during most scenes.
Why the producers couldn't have just used the excellent story from the original Dark Horse comic, "Alien vs. Predator", I have no idea. Instead they give us this complete piece of trash, that makes the movie ideas from the "Awesomo 5000" episode of South Park look like screen gems.
