Trivia:
Paul W.S. Anderson stepped down from directing Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) (although he did stay on as producer) and directing Mortal Kombat (2010) to write and direct this film. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: During the space-shot of the predator ship shooting a beam to "drill" a hole to the pyramid, we see a beautiful shot of the Earth from space. However, we can clearly see both the day-lit side and the night-side. In reality, if we were looking at the Earth from space, we would only see the lit side while the night side would be completely dark (for example, look at any picture of the Earth as seen from the moon). more

Some cool scenes but mostly a disappointment, 12 March 2005
4/10
Author: christian123

Alien Vs. Predator has some cool scenes and some other entertaining moments but mostly the film is a disappointment. The fast-breeding creatures from the Aliens films take on the headhunting space colonizers from Predator in a battle for the earth, leaving a poor team of Antarctic archaeologist's and the rest of us lowly humans trapped in the middle. The plot does sound like it has potential and if it was rated R it could have been a lot better. The execution wasn't very good though since its just not very exciting. The death scenes are lame as you can't even see what's going on. Most of the action scenes are boring and that's a problem since that's one of the main reasons why a person may watch this film. The acting is terrible but its normal for this type of film. The most notable person in this film you might recognize is Sanaa Lathan but she of course doesn't add much to the film. The rest of the actors are of course bad and you have a better chance of laughing then being scared. The film is predictable because you know where its going and who's going to survive. The dialog is bad and funny but in a bad way, which is always a bad thing. Yet even with all this negativity I didn't completely hate it. Some of the action scenes were cool and its a pretty movie to look at, especially the creature special effects. Paul Anderson shouldn't be blamed as Fox wanted to edit the movie and make it earn more money. The films running time of 102 minutes feels a lot longer though. Rating 5/10 I had some fun watching this but this film is for hardcore fans only and even they will probably hate it.
