I liked it.. Delivers on the premise

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2008)

I really like this movie. I'm really surprised so many people really didn't like it as I'm a big fan of Alien and Aliens and to a lesser extent the Predator movies.
I think it delivers on the AVP premise. You have some aliens, some predators and some humans and some of them aren't getting to the end in one piece.
What I really like though are the sumptuous visuals. The Predator in the pit standing on the mountain of skulls, the queen being dragged down to the bottom of the ocean, the bullet time face huggers, the alien in the predator net, the alien getting spun by its tail. All very very well done and the mix between cg and puppets is completely seamless.
The DVD commentary track with Woodruff, Gillis etc is also interesting for those interested in movie making and special effects.
