I saw Alien vs. Predator today. I will be honest. It was a cool action flick. Some nice alien on predator action (hmm sounds gross…) anyways the story lacks a little bit. Basically this movie is all about the action. There is no real “movie stars” in this film except for maybe the Predators or the Aliens which most of us have seen before. There wasn’t a whole lot of techno-widgetry like I would like, just raw action. The ending was supposed to “tie together” the Alien and Predator films, yet it’s pretty freaking far fetched. I mean, common! How is the one freaking baby alien supposed to kill off a whole humongous ship of Predators in order for it to crash and way later in the future for Sigourney Weaver and friends to find them? It was just too far fetched for me. Other than a few plot and story issues (which there is really nothing to talk about) the movie had good special effects and just the sheer coolness of the Predator. (I’ve always like the Predator over Aliens) So with that, check it out in the theatre if you would like to see it on the big screen and hear all the good audio effects. If not, wait to rent.
My Rating: 7 of 10 (Would have been 6 except I liked the action)
