What a beautiful movie!

That was an excellent one.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is not a Shakespearian tragedy, so don't expect emphasis on dialogue. But as a action sci-fi movie goes it excels in regards to fight scenes with Aliens and Predators. I have watched this repeatedly since viewing it in the cinema 2004. Great popcorn flick, a worthy entry into the Predator Alien universe.

I really do not have anything else to say about this film aside from the fact that it was just average, but not needed to be made at all. I do think that the soundtrack was pretty decent and there was good action scenes, almost even great. But I didn't care for the characters at all and the effects seemed almost too realistic for their own good. I know that it sounds odd for me to say that, but that was just how I felt about the whole thing. So with a good soundtrack and action, but bad acting and too realistic effects, the film just ends up being totally average.

Alien vs. Predator (2004)At the time of writing this review, Alien vs. Predator was released 13 years ago. I knew of it's existence, and admittedly the title Alien vs. Predator, simply didn't sit well with me. Both Alien (1979) and Predator (1987) are classic films, ultimately I gave into temptation and sat through Alien vs. Predator.Others have covered the story here, so I will pass on repeating it. To be honest the story failed to mean much. Compared to either Alien or Predator, Alien vs. Predator fails to compare, although if you were to compare it to the dire Predators (2010) Alien vs. Predator is a slightly better film.95% of Alien vs. Predator takes place underground, in a pyramid structure, located in Antarctica. If you have ever played an Uncharted game, you might recall the levels that see large stone blocks sliding, highly ornate shapes turning, surfaces covered in hieroglyphics. During Alien vs. Predator much of the time the cast are seen exploring, running, jumping, around the stone structure, and it feels Indian Jones, action adventure, never sci-fi Alien or war-zone Predator. No electronic gadgets to detect Aliens, or opportunities to cover ones self in mud and hide. No moments of suspense. Alien vs. Predator lacks what made Alien and Predator so good.Special FX - Alien vs. Predator contains a mixed bag. Some of the SFX are absolutely stunning, such as the snow covered landscape with buildings breaking up. The Predators looked good, but not as good as the Predator that appears in the original from 1987, which looked alive with it's mask off. When it comes to the Aliens, it's CGI overload. For some reason, the Aliens look slimy? The Alien always had a slimy mouth, but I don't recall the whole thing being covered from head to toe? There's a ton of them, they charge about like reptiles. Predators dispatch Aliens with ease, thus aren't portrayed as absolutely bad- ass indestructible creatures like the Alien from 1979, which is a pity. Surprisingly, there is no gore other than Alien acid or green Predator juice. There is chest burst scene, but the camera pans away, not wanting to show the gory moment. Now that's a missed opportunity!Alien vs. Predator contains a mixed bag of ability when it comes to the actors who got the job. I won't run through all of them. The following list might give you some idea.Lance Henriksen - The best actor in the film. He does a good job. Good choice.Ewen Bremner - I know him from Trainspotting. He is a good actor. When he first appears, with his goofy demeanour, I really wasn't sure, and am still not sure he was a good choice. The fact remains, he was one of the best actors to star in Alien vs. Predator. Raoul Bova - His strong Italian accent is the first thing that hit's the viewer. It sounds exaggerated, and ultimately becomes distracting. His performance, mediocre at best. Sanaa Lathan - Plays the lead female. Her acting skills are along way off those of Sigourney Weaver. Sanaa Lathan along many other cast members, acted in much the same way as many of the actors acted during Predators (2010). By this, I mean none of them were remotely convincing conveying the magnitude of the situation they were in - trapped, surrounded by Predators and Aliens. It's laughable.

Alien versus Predator, what's not to like? Let's make it happen: Ali v. Frasier, Tyson v. Holyfield. All we need is a serviceable premise to pit these two against each other and we're talking about cinematic gold! Well, therein lied the problem. The story around having these two iconic creatures fight was awful. An underground pyramid has been accidentally discovered and a wealthy businessman wants to be the first to discover it. He hastily assembles a team of explorers, scientists and the oh-so necessary terrain expert, Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan). Of course instead of getting to brag about his landmark find, he finds he and his team are nothing more than canon fodder for the extra-terrestrials.Between the acting and the lazily developed story I was ready to scream. For thousands of years these inter-planetary predators would every so often visit Earth to harvest aliens in order to hunt them. What!? And as a parting gift to the humans that worshipped them they taught them how to build. Really!?Look, the only decent and watchable thing about this movie was the Predators and Aliens going at it like cats and dogs. After that there was nothing to pay attention to and nothing to hold my interest.
