This is one schlockfest that may be enjoyed more by casual viewers than by hard-core fans, since writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson breaks with the established mythology of both properties whenever he feels like it. Like it matters.
Feels like Indiana Jones but if you removed Indy and you added aliens and predators and you just added characters from aliens into the world of Indiana Jones
The fifth outing for the slime-dripping, shape-changing creatures, the Aliens are looking a little dogged, perhaps ready for the Alien Retirement Home. Meanwhile, the Predator warriors, who never achieved the artistic heights of their counterpart, look better invisible. When visible, they resemble robotic can openers gone berserk.
Anderson gets style points for the pyramid, though. The building - a combination of Aztec, Egyptian and Cambodian elements loaded with sophisticated gadgetry - totally rocks.
The actual fights between the predators and the serpents are too silly to contemplate. Both shiny and metallic, they look like kitchen appliances fighting it out. That's when you can see them. Writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson ("Resident Evil") has created the darkest, if not worst, sci-fi movie since "Battlefield Earth."
6.5/10
You know what, the least i expect from this movie was some actual decent stuff, but i was actually surprised on how much impressive stuff that i found in the film, mostly on the set design and the production design of this film was surprisingly great, they actually put some works to it and some money to it, the special effects were also great, the predators and the aliens were also great, those i was surprisingly impressed, the main story of the film was actually really fun on board, these scientist going to this mysterious pyramid the whole movie, it's a fun story on board it just depends on how they execute it, and i felt like they could execute it way better than this, there is still some fun but sometimes the pacing could go quite slow too that it makes me quite bored, the characters were fine it just what i expected when i saw none of the actors were that famous, literally every single actor in this movie was just a top tier B-movie actor, and their performance could be terrible too at times but i guess their performance mostly was just meh, anyway, overall while i still wouldn't consider Alien Vs. Predator as a good movie, there is surprisingly some good stuff in it, and also surprisingly far from terrible movie as a whole.
