Review of AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004) by Alex R — 19 Mar 2011

AVP-Alien VS Predators is an average action horror flick. The first cross over of two sequels, this is the better film. AVP is an interesting concept, but with minimal satisfaction. Considering that this film combines two creatures of two of the most legendary action Sci Fi horror franchises, you'd expect something phenomenal.

But also in a way, this film is the best that they could do, and it is a film with good results, but it makes you feel that theres something missing to make this the film that Predator and Alien fans want it to be a truly exciting film.

The film does have moments of tense, brutal action. But you feel the limitations of the script. you can tell that the story feel incomplete, at least thats how I felt. The acting is fairly decent for a film of this caliber, just don't expect something truly phenomenal.

Because you won't find it here. For what it's worth, AVP is good entertainment. The film has a lot of unrealized potential, but it manages to be a fun thrill ride. Helmed by Paul W.S Anderson, AVP is pleasant if not perfect action horror film.

Though the film suffers, it still has plenty of impressive things going for it to be a good enough film to watch on a rainy night. However this film doesn't try to do anything truly original or inventive with the concept that we are given in the film.

In fact, a few scenes seemed kind of silly, but I guess it's acceptable for a film like this. A good enough action horror film, but it doesn't do justice to both franchises.
