In delivering PG-13-rated excitement, Alien vs. Predator is an acceptably average science-fiction action thriller with some noteworthy highlights, even if it squanders its opportunity to intelligently combine two popular and R-rated franchises. Rabid fans can justifiably ask "Is that all there is?" after a decade of development hell and eager anticipation, but we're compensated by reasonably logical connections to the Alien legacy and the still-kicking Predator franchise (which hinted at AVP rivalry at the end of Predator 2); some cleverly claustrophobic sets, tense atmosphere and impressive digital effects; and a climactic AVP smackdown that's not half bad. This disposable junk should've been better, but nobody who's seen Mortal Kombat or Resident Evil should be surprised by writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson's lack of imagination. As a brisk, 90-minute exercise in generic thrills, however, Anderson's work is occasionally impressive... right up to his shameless opening for yet another sequel. --Jeff Shannon
Description
"It may be our planet, but it?s their war!" The deadliest creatures from the scariest sci-fi movies ever made face off for the first time on film. The incredible adventure begins when the discovery of an ancient pyramid buried in Antarctica sends a team of scientists and adventurers to the frozen continent. There, they make an even more terrifying discovery: two alien races engaged in the ultimate battle. Whoever wins...we lose.

Better than most say!!!.......2007-06-19
Like many, I am a fan of both the "Predator" films & the "Alien" films, with the exception of "Reserection" which of course played like a slasher movie, this one brought back the suspense element so missing in that one, why so many trash it, I don't understand, yes, maybe it should have been longer, but it delivered the goods nonetheless, It definately can be considered a sequel to the "Predator" films & prequel to the "Alien" films, I think I have figured out why so many dislike it, my take from reading many reviews here, are the fact that many see continuity issues as their reasons for disliking it, there are maybe one or two, that I noticed, but that is it, most recent complaints are below that can be clarified such as>>>
Lance Henrickson playing Charles Weyland, Bishop's creator, this makes sense, seeing that this is the company Ripley from "Alien" worked for, & that Weyland Industries Inc. terraformed the planet Lv426 in "Aliens", & that Bishop is an android of Weyland, as for Henrickson's human appearance in "Alien 3" this could very well have been Weyland's great grandson, it is never said that Weyland didn't have offspring prior to his demise.
Many have complained that the Predators only come every 100 years, so therefore it contradicts the "Predator" films, not so, if you pay attention, the Predators come every 100 years for a rite of passage, this however doesn't mean they don't come to hunt for sport as seen in the other films, nowhere are we told the Predators are picky about their hunting climate, the Predators are hunters plain & simple, no matter what climate, hunting the aliens is a rite of passage, hunting humans for sport, there is a difference you know.
As for the aliens on earth, well Antarctica is a believable scenario, not exactly a booming town with people you know, & it sort of sets up the "Alien" films, especially when you consider the "Company's obsession with capturing a specimen even at the expense of their own employees, how did they know what it was the Nostronmo crew had, this film helps explain that a bit better, remember Ash in "Alien" was an android created by Weyland's company who protected it.
Many have complained about the inpregnation time period being short, if you remember in "Alien" Kane's inpregnation period happened awful fast too, time is never clarified in that one or this one.
Many complain about the surviving Predator teaming up with the lone human survivor as being contradictory, not so, if you remember, the Predators at the end of "Predator 2" show a mutual respect for Danny Glover's character as a show of sportsmanship for defeating one of their own, why wouldn't they here for defeating an alien?.
Many say a Pyramid in ancient times could not exist in Antacrtica because it froze before humans, how do we know? we can't, & do we really know what lays beneath Antarctica, I think not.
& the reason the aliens never make it to society on earth is simply because the Predator nukes them all, & the survivor (Sanaa Lathan) could have easily told Weyland Inc. about her experiences & they would likely keep it quiet, but yet they knew in "Alien" what the Nostronmo crew had, that is why Ash protected it even though it was killing the crew.
As for the Queen surviving in the Pyramid, remember, she was frozen, as for there being more aliens than hosts, how do we know many of them were not frozen with her 100 years ago, we don't, there is nothing to suggest otherwise.
The only place I see inconsistency that no one seems to notice is the Predator's inpregnation, the Queen throws her tail into him, this does contradict "Alien 3" when an alien refuses to kill Ripley because of her inpregnation, the Queen would not have done this, & like one reviewer noted, the arriving Predators would have inspected their fallen one before allowing it into their ship, this is the only flaw aside from the Predators being so easily defeated by the aliens, other than this, this one stays overall consistent, I just requires you to think a bit.
Whoever Wins, We Lose..........2007-06-18
Finally, after 14 years of anticipation, the ultimate monster slugfest arrived for moviegoers to witness the epic battle that is "AVP: Alien Vs Predator". Fans of the two franchises thought that this movie would have arrived to theaters much sooner than it actually did, since at the end of "Predator 2", audiences got a glimpse of an alien skull in the predator's trophy case, hinting that the two races had already met in combat. For some reason 20th Century Fox had trouble getting the movie off the ground, more than likely the scripts for the film were never good enough to do any kind of justice to either of the two franchises, so the execs at Fox decided to put the film on the backburner until a proper story could be crafted that would please fans of the series'. Eventually Fox found the right man to bring the two monsters together on screen, a director that has had plenty of experience with the science-fiction genre, none other than Paul Anderson (director of "Resident Evil" and "Soldier"). With the cast assembled, a talented sci-fi director behind the camera, and a story that would hopefully do justice to these two hugely popular franchises, it was time for the battle to begin.
"AVP: Alien Vs Predator" begins when a team of archaeologists are brought together by Charles Weyland (Lance Henriksen), the co-founder of the very corporation that Sigourney Weaver's character Ripley worked for in the `Alien' series, to explore an ancient temple hidden under the Antarctic. When the team arrives they discover that this is no ordinary temple, it is actually a proving grounds for young predators to hunt the most dangerous prey alive, the xenomorphs (aliens). Now, the archaeologists are in for the fight of their lives as they are stuck in the middle of a war that no matter who wins, we lose.
Director Paul Anderson has skillfully crafted an exciting monster smackdown that lives up to the quality of both character's respective franchises. It was interesting to see how this movie set into motion events that take place in the `Alien' franchise (which occurs many years after this movie), by setting up Charles Weyland's interest in the aliens. The movie also takes time to explore the rituals that the predators must go through to become the ultimate hunters, by showing how they achieve their vast array of weaponry and skills. There are other aspects of the story that links into each franchises established storylines, but I don't want to ruin everything for those that may have not seen this movie or any of the other films from the two franchises either.
The movie featured a solid cast of character actors led by veteran actor Lance Henriksen in the role of Charles Bishop Weyland, a nod to his character Bishop from James Cameron's impressive film "Aliens". Along with the talented cast, the film also boasted impressive visual effects and costumes that brought the aliens and predators to life, and made their brutal fight scenes incredibly entertaining to watch. Even though it took 14 years for this film to finally be made, the wait was definitely worth it, plus, any sooner may have been too soon, because the technology of the film industry was finally advanced enough to bring this epic war to life in a realistic fashion that will make the creators of the series' proud and entertain fans worldwide.
"AVP: Alien Vs Predator" is available in both PG-13 and unrated editions, both contain violence and language.
Impressive production design ruined by lousy writing.......2007-06-07
I went in with low expectations for AvP, and incredibly, the film STILL disappointed me. Anderson stages some decent action sequences and has a sharp eye for cinematography, but his writing is dreadful. AvP is fun, but as an extention of the Alien and Predator mythos, it's a colossal dissappointment, and my 3-star rating is VERY generous.
By now we all know that the editing is choppy, the Alien life cycle is FUBAR, the acting is second-rate, the dialogue is laughable, and the final half hour is almost unwatchable in its badness, so I won't even go into those.
One thing that many fans fail to mention, however, is how AvP tries to connect itself with the Alien universe. Instead of taking the smart route and establishing AvP as a separate "just-for-fun" franchise, Anderson desparately adds in references to past Alien films to connect his films with those of Scott, Cameron, Fincher, and Jeanuet. Anderson fails miserably, and forever destroys the continuity with Charles Bishop and the earthbound setting. AvP negates Ripley's ultimate goal in the Alien series: to prevent the Aliens from reaching now. With AvP, we learn that Aliens have been on Earth for centuries!
I guess that's why I don't consider AvP to be canon.
The portrayal of the creatures is disappointing as well. The Aliens still move like raptors (like in AR), and the Predators hulk around like drunken quarterbacks. The one exception is the Grid Alien, which is in my opinion, the best character of the film. Grid takes out two Predators (a nice big smack in the face to all the deluded Predator fanboys who were gloating about how one Predator could take out multiple Aliens) and even devises a plan to free the Queen.
The design of the film is very good. The shapeshifting pyramid is an interesting setting and is well-shot by Anderson, and the Predator ship looks incredible, much better than the silly B-movie look of the ship in Predator 2, which was filled with fog machines.
The 2-disc edition has added CGI blood, some of which looks very fake, and also adds some minor but occassionally intriguing scenes which helps the movie flow much better than the theatrical version. If for whatever reason you want this film, buy this version.
One last saving grace: AvP 2, due for release this Christmas, sounds so unbelievably bad that maybe this film will emerge as a fan favorite. "Well, AvP sucked...but it didn't suck as much as AvP 2."
Well, That was a complete waste of time........2007-06-03
I will keep it short as I see there is already another 750 folk commenting on how bad this film ended up and the sad thing is this could have really been a great film but a poor story line made sure that never happened and having Predators that now seem to go out of their way to save the life of just one female from Aliens was just never going to work and at the end of the film where they almost holding hands I am sure if the film would have continued on for another half an hour we would of soon seen the girl and the predator getting married overall this is possible the worst film I have ever seen.
AVP-Alien Vs. Predator (Blu-ray).......2007-05-24
Why on earth bother bringing this title out on Blu-ray when it is still the original "PG13" watered down cut to the bone wishy washy version when the original directors cut unrated version is available in normal format?

In delivering PG-13-rated excitement, Alien vs. Predator is an acceptably average science-fiction action thriller with some noteworthy highlights, even if it squanders its opportunity to intelligently combine two popular and R-rated franchises. Rabid fans can justifiably ask "Is that all there is?" after a decade of development hell and eager anticipation, but we're compensated by reasonably logical connections to the Alien legacy and the still-kicking Predator franchise (which hinted at AVP rivalry at the end of Predator 2); some cleverly claustrophobic sets, tense atmosphere and impressive digital effects; and a climactic AVP smackdown that's not half bad. This disposable junk should've been better, but nobody who's seen Mortal Kombat or Resident Evil should be surprised by writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson's lack of imagination. As a brisk, 90-minute exercise in generic thrills, however, Anderson's work is occasionally impressive... right up to his shameless opening for yet another sequel. --Jeff Shannon
Description
"It may be our planet, but it's their war!" The deadliest creatures from the scariest sci-fi movies ever made face off for the first time on film. The incredible adventure begins when the discovery of an ancient pyramid buried in Antarctica sends a team of scientists and adventurers to the frozen continent. There, they make an even more terrifying discovery: two alien races engaged in the ultimate battle. Whoever wins...we lose.

Better than most say!!!.......2007-06-19
Like many, I am a fan of both the "Predator" films & the "Alien" films, with the exception of "Reserection" which of course played like a slasher movie, this one brought back the suspense element so missing in that one, why so many trash it, I don't understand, yes, maybe it should have been longer, but it delivered the goods nonetheless, It definately can be considered a sequel to the "Predator" films & prequel to the "Alien" films, I think I have figured out why so many dislike it, my take from reading many reviews here, are the fact that many see continuity issues as their reasons for disliking it, there are maybe one or two, that I noticed, but that is it, most recent complaints are below that can be clarified such as>>>
Lance Henrickson playing Charles Weyland, Bishop's creator, this makes sense, seeing that this is the company Ripley from "Alien" worked for, & that Weyland Industries Inc. terraformed the planet Lv426 in "Aliens", & that Bishop is an android of Weyland, as for Henrickson's human appearance in "Alien 3" this could very well have been Weyland's great grandson, it is never said that Weyland didn't have offspring prior to his demise.
Many have complained that the Predators only come every 100 years, so therefore it contradicts the "Predator" films, not so, if you pay attention, the Predators come every 100 years for a rite of passage, this however doesn't mean they don't come to hunt for sport as seen in the other films, nowhere are we told the Predators are picky about their hunting climate, the Predators are hunters plain & simple, no matter what climate, hunting the aliens is a rite of passage, hunting humans for sport, there is a difference you know.
As for the aliens on earth, well Antarctica is a believable scenario, not exactly a booming town with people you know, & it sort of sets up the "Alien" films, especially when you consider the "Company's obsession with capturing a specimen even at the expense of their own employees, how did they know what it was the Nostronmo crew had, this film helps explain that a bit better, remember Ash in "Alien" was an android created by Weyland's company who protected it.
Many have complained about the inpregnation time period being short, if you remember in "Alien" Kane's inpregnation period happened awful fast too, time is never clarified in that one or this one.
Many complain about the surviving Predator teaming up with the lone human survivor as being contradictory, not so, if you remember, the Predators at the end of "Predator 2" show a mutual respect for Danny Glover's character as a show of sportsmanship for defeating one of their own, why wouldn't they here for defeating an alien?.
Many say a Pyramid in ancient times could not exist in Antacrtica because it froze before humans, how do we know? we can't, & do we really know what lays beneath Antarctica, I think not.
& the reason the aliens never make it to society on earth is simply because the Predator nukes them all, & the survivor (Sanaa Lathan) could have easily told Weyland Inc. about her experiences & they would likely keep it quiet, but yet they knew in "Alien" what the Nostronmo crew had, that is why Ash protected it even though it was killing the crew.
As for the Queen surviving in the Pyramid, remember, she was frozen, as for there being more aliens than hosts, how do we know many of them were not frozen with her 100 years ago, we don't, there is nothing to suggest otherwise.
The only place I see inconsistency that no one seems to notice is the Predator's inpregnation, the Queen throws her tail into him, this does contradict "Alien 3" when an alien refuses to kill Ripley because of her inpregnation, the Queen would not have done this, & like one reviewer noted, the arriving Predators would have inspected their fallen one before allowing it into their ship, this is the only flaw aside from the Predators being so easily defeated by the aliens, other than this, this one stays overall consistent, I just requires you to think a bit.
Whoever Wins, We Lose..........2007-06-18
Finally, after 14 years of anticipation, the ultimate monster slugfest arrived for moviegoers to witness the epic battle that is "AVP: Alien Vs Predator". Fans of the two franchises thought that this movie would have arrived to theaters much sooner than it actually did, since at the end of "Predator 2", audiences got a glimpse of an alien skull in the predator's trophy case, hinting that the two races had already met in combat. For some reason 20th Century Fox had trouble getting the movie off the ground, more than likely the scripts for the film were never good enough to do any kind of justice to either of the two franchises, so the execs at Fox decided to put the film on the backburner until a proper story could be crafted that would please fans of the series'. Eventually Fox found the right man to bring the two monsters together on screen, a director that has had plenty of experience with the science-fiction genre, none other than Paul Anderson (director of "Resident Evil" and "Soldier"). With the cast assembled, a talented sci-fi director behind the camera, and a story that would hopefully do justice to these two hugely popular franchises, it was time for the battle to begin.
"AVP: Alien Vs Predator" begins when a team of archaeologists are brought together by Charles Weyland (Lance Henriksen), the co-founder of the very corporation that Sigourney Weaver's character Ripley worked for in the `Alien' series, to explore an ancient temple hidden under the Antarctic. When the team arrives they discover that this is no ordinary temple, it is actually a proving grounds for young predators to hunt the most dangerous prey alive, the xenomorphs (aliens). Now, the archaeologists are in for the fight of their lives as they are stuck in the middle of a war that no matter who wins, we lose.
Director Paul Anderson has skillfully crafted an exciting monster smackdown that lives up to the quality of both character's respective franchises. It was interesting to see how this movie set into motion events that take place in the `Alien' franchise (which occurs many years after this movie), by setting up Charles Weyland's interest in the aliens. The movie also takes time to explore the rituals that the predators must go through to become the ultimate hunters, by showing how they achieve their vast array of weaponry and skills. There are other aspects of the story that links into each franchises established storylines, but I don't want to ruin everything for those that may have not seen this movie or any of the other films from the two franchises either.
The movie featured a solid cast of character actors led by veteran actor Lance Henriksen in the role of Charles Bishop Weyland, a nod to his character Bishop from James Cameron's impressive film "Aliens". Along with the talented cast, the film also boasted impressive visual effects and costumes that brought the aliens and predators to life, and made their brutal fight scenes incredibly entertaining to watch. Even though it took 14 years for this film to finally be made, the wait was definitely worth it, plus, any sooner may have been too soon, because the technology of the film industry was finally advanced enough to bring this epic war to life in a realistic fashion that will make the creators of the series' proud and entertain fans worldwide.
"AVP: Alien Vs Predator" is available in both PG-13 and unrated editions, both contain violence and language.
Impressive production design ruined by lousy writing.......2007-06-07
I went in with low expectations for AvP, and incredibly, the film STILL disappointed me. Anderson stages some decent action sequences and has a sharp eye for cinematography, but his writing is dreadful. AvP is fun, but as an extention of the Alien and Predator mythos, it's a colossal dissappointment, and my 3-star rating is VERY generous.
By now we all know that the editing is choppy, the Alien life cycle is FUBAR, the acting is second-rate, the dialogue is laughable, and the final half hour is almost unwatchable in its badness, so I won't even go into those.
One thing that many fans fail to mention, however, is how AvP tries to connect itself with the Alien universe. Instead of taking the smart route and establishing AvP as a separate "just-for-fun" franchise, Anderson desparately adds in references to past Alien films to connect his films with those of Scott, Cameron, Fincher, and Jeanuet. Anderson fails miserably, and forever destroys the continuity with Charles Bishop and the earthbound setting. AvP negates Ripley's ultimate goal in the Alien series: to prevent the Aliens from reaching now. With AvP, we learn that Aliens have been on Earth for centuries!
I guess that's why I don't consider AvP to be canon.
The portrayal of the creatures is disappointing as well. The Aliens still move like raptors (like in AR), and the Predators hulk around like drunken quarterbacks. The one exception is the Grid Alien, which is in my opinion, the best character of the film. Grid takes out two Predators (a nice big smack in the face to all the deluded Predator fanboys who were gloating about how one Predator could take out multiple Aliens) and even devises a plan to free the Queen.
The design of the film is very good. The shapeshifting pyramid is an interesting setting and is well-shot by Anderson, and the Predator ship looks incredible, much better than the silly B-movie look of the ship in Predator 2, which was filled with fog machines.
The 2-disc edition has added CGI blood, some of which looks very fake, and also adds some minor but occassionally intriguing scenes which helps the movie flow much better than the theatrical version. If for whatever reason you want this film, buy this version.
One last saving grace: AvP 2, due for release this Christmas, sounds so unbelievably bad that maybe this film will emerge as a fan favorite. "Well, AvP sucked...but it didn't suck as much as AvP 2."
Well, That was a complete waste of time........2007-06-03
I will keep it short as I see there is already another 750 folk commenting on how bad this film ended up and the sad thing is this could have really been a great film but a poor story line made sure that never happened and having Predators that now seem to go out of their way to save the life of just one female from Aliens was just never going to work and at the end of the film where they almost holding hands I am sure if the film would have continued on for another half an hour we would of soon seen the girl and the predator getting married overall this is possible the worst film I have ever seen.
AVP-Alien Vs. Predator (Blu-ray).......2007-05-24
Why on earth bother bringing this title out on Blu-ray when it is still the original "PG13" watered down cut to the bone wishy washy version when the original directors cut unrated version is available in normal format?

In delivering PG-13-rated excitement, Alien vs. Predator is an acceptably average science-fiction action thriller with some noteworthy highlights, even if it squanders its opportunity to intelligently combine two popular and R-rated franchises. Rabid fans can justifiably ask "Is that all there is?" after a decade of development hell and eager anticipation, but we're compensated by reasonably logical connections to the Alien legacy and the still-kicking Predator franchise (which hinted at AVP rivalry at the end of Predator 2); some cleverly claustrophobic sets, tense atmosphere and impressive digital effects; and a climactic AVP smackdown that's not half bad. This disposable junk should've been better, but nobody who's seen Mortal Kombat or Resident Evil should be surprised by writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson's lack of imagination. As a brisk, 90-minute exercise in generic thrills, however, Anderson's work is occasionally impressive... right up to his shameless opening for yet another sequel. --Jeff Shannon

Better than most say!!!.......2007-06-19
Like many, I am a fan of both the "Predator" films & the "Alien" films, with the exception of "Reserection" which of course played like a slasher movie, this one brought back the suspense element so missing in that one, why so many trash it, I don't understand, yes, maybe it should have been longer, but it delivered the goods nonetheless, It definately can be considered a sequel to the "Predator" films & prequel to the "Alien" films, I think I have figured out why so many dislike it, my take from reading many reviews here, are the fact that many see continuity issues as their reasons for disliking it, there are maybe one or two, that I noticed, but that is it, most recent complaints are below that can be clarified such as>>>
Lance Henrickson playing Charles Weyland, Bishop's creator, this makes sense, seeing that this is the company Ripley from "Alien" worked for, & that Weyland Industries Inc. terraformed the planet Lv426 in "Aliens", & that Bishop is an android of Weyland, as for Henrickson's human appearance in "Alien 3" this could very well have been Weyland's great grandson, it is never said that Weyland didn't have offspring prior to his demise.
Many have complained that the Predators only come every 100 years, so therefore it contradicts the "Predator" films, not so, if you pay attention, the Predators come every 100 years for a rite of passage, this however doesn't mean they don't come to hunt for sport as seen in the other films, nowhere are we told the Predators are picky about their hunting climate, the Predators are hunters plain & simple, no matter what climate, hunting the aliens is a rite of passage, hunting humans for sport, there is a difference you know.
As for the aliens on earth, well Antarctica is a believable scenario, not exactly a booming town with people you know, & it sort of sets up the "Alien" films, especially when you consider the "Company's obsession with capturing a specimen even at the expense of their own employees, how did they know what it was the Nostronmo crew had, this film helps explain that a bit better, remember Ash in "Alien" was an android created by Weyland's company who protected it.
Many have complained about the inpregnation time period being short, if you remember in "Alien" Kane's inpregnation period happened awful fast too, time is never clarified in that one or this one.
Many complain about the surviving Predator teaming up with the lone human survivor as being contradictory, not so, if you remember, the Predators at the end of "Predator 2" show a mutual respect for Danny Glover's character as a show of sportsmanship for defeating one of their own, why wouldn't they here for defeating an alien?.
Many say a Pyramid in ancient times could not exist in Antacrtica because it froze before humans, how do we know? we can't, & do we really know what lays beneath Antarctica, I think not.
& the reason the aliens never make it to society on earth is simply because the Predator nukes them all, & the survivor (Sanaa Lathan) could have easily told Weyland Inc. about her experiences & they would likely keep it quiet, but yet they knew in "Alien" what the Nostronmo crew had, that is why Ash protected it even though it was killing the crew.
As for the Queen surviving in the Pyramid, remember, she was frozen, as for there being more aliens than hosts, how do we know many of them were not frozen with her 100 years ago, we don't, there is nothing to suggest otherwise.
The only place I see inconsistency that no one seems to notice is the Predator's inpregnation, the Queen throws her tail into him, this does contradict "Alien 3" when an alien refuses to kill Ripley because of her inpregnation, the Queen would not have done this, & like one reviewer noted, the arriving Predators would have inspected their fallen one before allowing it into their ship, this is the only flaw aside from the Predators being so easily defeated by the aliens, other than this, this one stays overall consistent, I just requires you to think a bit.
Whoever Wins, We Lose..........2007-06-18
Finally, after 14 years of anticipation, the ultimate monster slugfest arrived for moviegoers to witness the epic battle that is "AVP: Alien Vs Predator". Fans of the two franchises thought that this movie would have arrived to theaters much sooner than it actually did, since at the end of "Predator 2", audiences got a glimpse of an alien skull in the predator's trophy case, hinting that the two races had already met in combat. For some reason 20th Century Fox had trouble getting the movie off the ground, more than likely the scripts for the film were never good enough to do any kind of justice to either of the two franchises, so the execs at Fox decided to put the film on the backburner until a proper story could be crafted that would please fans of the series'. Eventually Fox found the right man to bring the two monsters together on screen, a director that has had plenty of experience with the science-fiction genre, none other than Paul Anderson (director of "Resident Evil" and "Soldier"). With the cast assembled, a talented sci-fi director behind the camera, and a story that would hopefully do justice to these two hugely popular franchises, it was time for the battle to begin.
"AVP: Alien Vs Predator" begins when a team of archaeologists are brought together by Charles Weyland (Lance Henriksen), the co-founder of the very corporation that Sigourney Weaver's character Ripley worked for in the `Alien' series, to explore an ancient temple hidden under the Antarctic. When the team arrives they discover that this is no ordinary temple, it is actually a proving grounds for young predators to hunt the most dangerous prey alive, the xenomorphs (aliens). Now, the archaeologists are in for the fight of their lives as they are stuck in the middle of a war that no matter who wins, we lose.
Director Paul Anderson has skillfully crafted an exciting monster smackdown that lives up to the quality of both character's respective franchises. It was interesting to see how this movie set into motion events that take place in the `Alien' franchise (which occurs many years after this movie), by setting up Charles Weyland's interest in the aliens. The movie also takes time to explore the rituals that the predators must go through to become the ultimate hunters, by showing how they achieve their vast array of weaponry and skills. There are other aspects of the story that links into each franchises established storylines, but I don't want to ruin everything for those that may have not seen this movie or any of the other films from the two franchises either.
The movie featured a solid cast of character actors led by veteran actor Lance Henriksen in the role of Charles Bishop Weyland, a nod to his character Bishop from James Cameron's impressive film "Aliens". Along with the talented cast, the film also boasted impressive visual effects and costumes that brought the aliens and predators to life, and made their brutal fight scenes incredibly entertaining to watch. Even though it took 14 years for this film to finally be made, the wait was definitely worth it, plus, any sooner may have been too soon, because the technology of the film industry was finally advanced enough to bring this epic war to life in a realistic fashion that will make the creators of the series' proud and entertain fans worldwide.
"AVP: Alien Vs Predator" is available in both PG-13 and unrated editions, both contain violence and language.
Impressive production design ruined by lousy writing.......2007-06-07
I went in with low expectations for AvP, and incredibly, the film STILL disappointed me. Anderson stages some decent action sequences and has a sharp eye for cinematography, but his writing is dreadful. AvP is fun, but as an extention of the Alien and Predator mythos, it's a colossal dissappointment, and my 3-star rating is VERY generous.
By now we all know that the editing is choppy, the Alien life cycle is FUBAR, the acting is second-rate, the dialogue is laughable, and the final half hour is almost unwatchable in its badness, so I won't even go into those.
One thing that many fans fail to mention, however, is how AvP tries to connect itself with the Alien universe. Instead of taking the smart route and establishing AvP as a separate "just-for-fun" franchise, Anderson desparately adds in references to past Alien films to connect his films with those of Scott, Cameron, Fincher, and Jeanuet. Anderson fails miserably, and forever destroys the continuity with Charles Bishop and the earthbound setting. AvP negates Ripley's ultimate goal in the Alien series: to prevent the Aliens from reaching now. With AvP, we learn that Aliens have been on Earth for centuries!
I guess that's why I don't consider AvP to be canon.
The portrayal of the creatures is disappointing as well. The Aliens still move like raptors (like in AR), and the Predators hulk around like drunken quarterbacks. The one exception is the Grid Alien, which is in my opinion, the best character of the film. Grid takes out two Predators (a nice big smack in the face to all the deluded Predator fanboys who were gloating about how one Predator could take out multiple Aliens) and even devises a plan to free the Queen.
The design of the film is very good. The shapeshifting pyramid is an interesting setting and is well-shot by Anderson, and the Predator ship looks incredible, much better than the silly B-movie look of the ship in Predator 2, which was filled with fog machines.
The 2-disc edition has added CGI blood, some of which looks very fake, and also adds some minor but occassionally intriguing scenes which helps the movie flow much better than the theatrical version. If for whatever reason you want this film, buy this version.
One last saving grace: AvP 2, due for release this Christmas, sounds so unbelievably bad that maybe this film will emerge as a fan favorite. "Well, AvP sucked...but it didn't suck as much as AvP 2."
Well, That was a complete waste of time........2007-06-03
I will keep it short as I see there is already another 750 folk commenting on how bad this film ended up and the sad thing is this could have really been a great film but a poor story line made sure that never happened and having Predators that now seem to go out of their way to save the life of just one female from Aliens was just never going to work and at the end of the film where they almost holding hands I am sure if the film would have continued on for another half an hour we would of soon seen the girl and the predator getting married overall this is possible the worst film I have ever seen.
AVP-Alien Vs. Predator (Blu-ray).......2007-05-24
Why on earth bother bringing this title out on Blu-ray when it is still the original "PG13" watered down cut to the bone wishy washy version when the original directors cut unrated version is available in normal format?

Great gift set.......2006-04-03
This set comes with a bust of an Alien and a bust of a Predator. Each is a little over three inches tall, including a half-inch base. The version of the movie included is the common widescreen edition, not the unrated version.
In conclusion, it doesn't have the most complete DVD edition, but the inclusion of not one, but two beautifully detailed busts makes it a nice addition to a sci-fi DVD collection.
