Terrible, just TERRIBLE!

Rating: Null/10 (22 August 2004)

Spoiler warning Ugh. This movie was sooo bad, I don't know where to begin.
The initial idea was great - we have been anticipating this movie since we saw the first poster over a year ago - bring back these to Sci-Fi Heavyweights for an all-out battle. Sounds good to me having grown up watching both of these movies, but the whole movie just fell short.
In order to have made this movie really good they should have just offed all the humans in the first 20 minutes and just let the Aliens and Predators have it out the rest of the time. That being said, it was completely silly that the last remaining Predator and the human chick 'teamed up' to fight side-by-side. The whole audience was laughing at the cheesy scenes of the two of them running together as a team. He makes her a shield and spear? Give me a friggin' break! "Sorry about killing all your colleagues and stringing up their dead bodies up on the surface - but I REALLY AM a nice guy so here's a spear and shield made from an Alien head......" I was actually waiting for them to hold hands as they narrowly escaped the explosion by sliding back up the 2,000 foot ice hole!
Then the Predator gives her 'props' by burning her pretty little warrior chick face? Ugh.
Remember the original Alien movie? When Kane gets the first ever Alien attached to his face it takes HOURS if not DAYS for that Alien to lay the egg in his throat and then fall off and die. They even try to perform surgery and thus find out about the acid blood. Then, once it fall off, again HOURS PASS before that sucker gestates and jumps out of his chest. In this movie apparently we don't have time for that so all is forgotten (who cares about continuity?) and it takes less than 5 minutes from face-attachment to chest expulsion.
The fight scenes were lacking, the plot was silly, the acting was terrible and the one-liners were just sad. If you want a good, PATHETIC laugh - then go see this movie. Otherwise, save your money and go rent the original Alien and Predator movies at Blockbuster.
