AVP: Alien vs. Predator (4/10)

Rating: 4/10 (6 August 2016)

Although it is nice to see the two most ruthless alien species on film going at it, there lies the first issue of the film. Both film franchises chronological timelines are now ruined with the xenomorphs being exposed in the Predators timeline (modern day). It's clear to see the Paul W.S. Anderson and the writers did have somewhat of an interest in maintaining some faith to the original alien franchise by casting Lance Henriksen as Sir Weyland, since the robot Bishop is supposedly made to look like his maker. Aside from that aspect, the storyline is completely silly with the only entertaining facet that the Predators and Aliens are facing off for the first time. Action sequences are prevalent and done rather well but there are no characters of redeeming value and the ending was a big miss. SPOILER: The notion that our main character was able to survive by "picking sides" was very, very stupid. A 4/10 rating is being pretty considerate but there is a part of myself, remembering back as a young viewer at the time AVP was in theatres, that I did enjoy seeing both alien species being on the big screen together.
