Movie reviews - Alien vs. Predator
<Back

Overall Rating: 8.8 out of 10

Wow. This was a very enjoyable film. Even though it got a PG-13 rating, (which was quite shocking, especially to the fans since the other Alien and Predator movies have always been rated R) it was still a cool film. I mean the action violence was still quite heavy, they didn't hold back in that at all. There was slime, like it is said in the rating (which I found rather amusing), and there was just some foul language. It was nothing compared to "Aliens" though.

I was impressed with the action violence, it was so darn cool. The fight scenes were awesome and there was a lot of it in the last half of the film. I personally really got into it all, it was exciting! The scenes were not that graphic, there were some things that were implied which makes sense then since it was rated PG-13, but whatever. Some of the fight scenes were very very fast, it was almost hard to keep up with what was happening, but sometimes I like that 'cause the feeling of it makes it so tense. It makes you want to pay attention. The last battle between the Predator and the Queen Alien was so friggin cool. Oh actually Lex was involved with that too, so..err right. The Queen Alien was radical man, like totally psycho.

The story was just ok to me. The flashback, I thought was really cheasy, except for the part where all the Aliens are racing up the pyramid to fight the Predators, that was sick. So yeah storywise, it was just ok. However, the whole pyramid idea was neat, and original.

Many have said the acting wasn't really all that great. Well, I honestly don't know what I think. I guess it wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either. I really have no comment on this part, nor the characters. However, I thought that blond chick was rad, and I wish she didn't die so soon. She really could've kicked some butt. Lex kind of got on my nerves after a while, just something about her I guess. She was too much of a 'Boss' to me. I didn't like her attitude.

Over all, rad film. I enjoyed it a whole lot, and that's why I gave it such a high rating. I'm interested in seeing if they'll do a Sequel. *Hint: Pay attention to the last scene of the film*
