Movie Info

Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, Alien vs. Predator follows billionaire Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen) and his team of drillers, scientists, and archaeologists, to an obscure pyramid site in Antarctica. Among the icy ruins, allegedly, lies the proof of an empire predating humankind. Once there, however, the group finds more than ancient sarcophaguses and hieroglyphics; rather, their discovery consists of dismembered human skeletons and fossilized remains of the alien creatures that

The title alone betrays an entire Hollywood mindset of rehash, reheat, recombine. Re-please.

To ingest Alien vs. Predator on its own slimy, divertingly synthetic terms, it helps to forget everything previously known -- and loved -- about the franchise monster aliens who get star billing.

The film equivalent of a deep-fried Mars bar: an interesting combination that results in a gloppy mess.

AVP will probably satisfy its fans' most basic desires. But, like most sugar rushes, it won't satisfy them for long.

Lance Henriksen, Raoul Bouva and Ewen Bremner are tragically underused due to their characters being cliched and forgettable.

The special effects are great, the battles are big-time, and the dialogue isn't as awful as it sometimes gets in films like this.

In the end, we are left with a dull woman who is surrounded by puppets and voiceless actors covered in prosthetics -- and it's never a good sign when the special effects give more memorable performances than the hero.

Sadly devoid of any real thrills.

If you're looking for the type of R-rated action that flowed freely in every other film in either franchise, you will be sorely disappointed.

The extra few minutes of playing time in the movie do, indeed, improve it marginally, but not to such an extent that I would be willing to change my initial film rating.

Audience Reviews for AVP - Alien Vs. Predator

Both 'Alien' and 'Predator' are classics with suspense and violence. This film doesn't even meet up to their standards. Aside from the most unlikely alliance, there are some good action moments.Featuring predictable scenarios and slightly obvious CGI, it easily loses its supposed realism. If you are a hardcore fan of 'Alien' or 'Predator', its best to give this a miss. If you are new with two of movie's greatest monsters, just stick with the originals.

Paul W.S. Mother Effing Anderson. Sick of the guy. He's the posterboy for rambunctiously stupid Hollywood movies that focus on "cool" action scenes and a completely disregarded plotline. Have you guys seen the Resident Evil movies? ...Freakin horrible. None of them have any merits of anything that is good about filmmaking other then the fact that it made it into theaters. Please Anderson... stop making movies. This is one of the worst movies to come out in this decade. Don't watch this garbage.
