Brilliant!

With some luck, lots (And lots) of things will actually die this time.
As it should be.

OFY! That first 5min. was better than the first AVP movie!

Awesome... but only one Predator?!

I'm fairly sure it was a female.


And we all know how badass Female thems are (I cannot, for the life of me, remember the name of their species)

A female Predator? I don't think so.

No, the predator isn't female.

However, the Predalien is a queen. She doesn't lay eggs, though. Like a face-hugger, she forces alien embryos right into the mouths of the captured hosts.

Yeah and that sceen in the Hospital was f'ckd up. A pretty good popcorn flick, they went beyond what I was expecting.

BTW for all of you who have seen the movie now...Who was that lady at the end?

Also, since Bill Paxton was both in Predator 2 and Aliens does that mean that his protrayal in Aliens was his distant offspring from Predator 2? Probably more of "just a kawinkidink" than anythink.

Ok guys, I'm going to give my $.02 here and say that I thought this movie was absolutely mediocre at best. No plot, no great characterization, the special effects weren't as good as the other Alien movies and it was just BLAH. Only go and see this movie if you like lots of gore. (And I don't mean Al)

I am still surprised it is only one predator though. Seems there were more on the previews.

This movie succeeds at pretty much everything the first one failed at, of course anyone expected anything more than a B-movie will be disappointed. Really with the AVP franchise they just need to do a complete reboot and actually follow the setup of the comics and games that its loosely based on and set it in space during the Colonial Marine era.

yyyyyyyyyyyYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And all of the naysayers can lick my acid-filled chode!!!

My brother and I were laughing pretty good when that chick took the predator blade. Just loved the touch of blonde white girl running and screaming .

just seen the movie.. DN CAN YOU PLEASE POST UR OLD AVATARS HERE TY

after watching the movie all i could think of was... i need to have his old avatar on my phone so i can msg people with it lol.

This is a nod to the Aliens fans who keep up with some of the Alien Universe back story. That woman at the end was Ms. Yutani. The actual name of "The Company" that was in the Alien films is Weyland-Yutani. In Alien vs Predator, Charles Biship Weyland owns the Weyland Corporation. It has been stated that Yutani is the name of a Japanese woman who merged her company with the Weyland Corporation to create the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. There are little nods to the Japanese portion of Weyland-Yutani in Alien 3 by having some of the language that is on various things inside the prison be written in Japanese. Having her at the end of the film kind of completes the circle if you will to Weyland-Yutani's knowledge of the Alien's existence prior to the events in the movie Alien.

I thought this movie was very enjoyable. I kept saying "F*ck yeah!" and "He's a bad ass!" to myself several times during the film in reference to the Predator. If you are an Aliens and Predator fan definitely go see this movie. It has some seriously cool fights in it. One thing to keep in mind though, is that this film did not have a large budget. Colin Strause, one of the directors, told us that it was less than $40 million. The budget for the first AvP film was $60 million and the budget for Alien: Resurrection was $70 million. In my opinion this film is better than both of those. But like Cabal said, they need to commit more money and time into producing an Aliens vs Predator movie in space with the Colonial Marines in it as well.

Like I said, I enjoyed this movie and I am sure I will go see it again. On another note, there are a couple of things in this movie that really disturbed me. I can't recall being disturbed like this since I saw the scene in the original Alien.

Thanks for that info as for being disturbing...My brothers wife is pregnant with their first child and my wife is pregnant with our second. Yeah, we talked about that after the movie

For the movie being as "low budget" as it was, I really didn't see anything cheap or wrong with any of the effects. Sure, the movie isn't perfect by any means, but it most definitely kicks all sorts of AVP ass. And I loved the fact that NO ONE was safe in this film!!!

Yeah, the Predator was one bad mofo.

Off-topic, but Diesel, I love your avatar and sig!

Thanks. I got it from Horhey over at avpgalaxy.com. He has tons of .gif's.

I enjoyed the movie, for what it was. The first movie was pretty lame, and this one was considerably better. I still couldn't help but feel like it was slow throughout about, 2/3s of the entire thing, though. It was nice the predator was kicking a lot of ass, and nice that Alien and human parts were flying around quite frequently. But again, the movie features 1-dimensional human characters. I think there were just far too many people, and almost all of them were there to raise the body count, since almost none of them had anything that even resembled development. Though like other people were saying, it was nice that "nobody" was safe.

It's just that (particularly in movies like Alien, Aliens, and Predator) we're given a group of people who actually have some development. Even characters that die early, or don't really do much of anything in those movies were still pretty cool and memorable. I don't even remeber the names of anyone from either AvP movie.

What Diesel said. And another easter egg was hidden in the Preditor's trophy room. In it, there was a human skull, an alien skull, and alien queen skull, and a skull belonging to the same species as the other alien that was piloting the ship the original alien egg was found in during the first movie.

I think this movie did a fantastic job of making both the alien and the preditor scary monsters again.

I have to say, I liked this one.


I really did, even with the hilariously one dimensional characters (the jocks being the Prime example, and yes the token black guy got bumped off first )

The Cleaner Predator, was a serious badass. Kinda like he was their version of 'The Wolf' from Pulp Fiction.

the black guy did not die first.

First was a Predator, then Dad, then son, then...ect...

whoops, I ment to specify that th eblack guy in the jock group died first, in school's pool building.

I read enough reviews to avoid it until it's shown on FX Network so that I can crank up the brightness and contrast on my TV enough to actually see what's happening.

This movie likes like a bigger turd than the first AvP flick. If they had just followed some of the original comic book stories they would fare much better.

I think the more insulting thing about these movies is that they actually try to make you like the characters in such a half-assed way, knowing full well when you go into the movie that it's going to be a formulaic monster-fodder movie with maybe one human survivor.

The fact that they cast predominantly unknowns just makes it more 2 dimensional. For movies like these it's almost better to have at least somewhat familiar faces simply so you don't have to spend time trying to get to know the actors. If they throw in familiar faces you are already comfortable with that person from seeing them in other movies so you can just enjoy the movie itself without being overly critical of the actors.

My POV anyway.

Regardless... no Alien movie will ever top Aliens or Alien. They should just stop trying.

I disagree. That's a defeatist attitude, and as such has no place anywhere, anytime. Besides, no one thought Cameron was going to be able to pull off the kind of sequel to "Alien" that he did. And then there was the whole "how is he ever going to top 'Terminator'" spiel when T2 was about to come out. You never know how things are going to come out, or how well-received they are going to be.

I also think it's been stated, with the "Yutani" reference at the end of AVP:R, that the next installment in the series is going to be in the Colonial Marine era.

If you see it on TV, you won't see it. 90% of the movie is deserving of the R rating.


You're basing that on the trailer? It's much better.


Except Alien 3 and resurrection. I think the big reason people feel like you do is because they don't get that Alien 3 and Resurrection are not the same type of movie that I and II were. 3 is a sci fi movie, 4 is sci-fi crossed with action, and AvP is just action. AVPR is a monster flick that actually makes them scary again.

*Turns on destruction loving thickie part of brain*
Goooooooooooood.
