Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
You would think that a crossover between the "Alien" and "Predator" franchises would be interesting, right? Well, no. It failed."Alien vs. Predator (AVP)" wasn't terrible like "Alien 3" or "Alien Resurrection", but it really was not good. The only redeeming aspects of it were the action was solid, and the special effects were well done. Other than that, the chatacters are not really worth caring about, the movie was slow paced, and the Alien and Predator barely fight each other. In fact, there were clones of the Alien and the Predator. To me, there should of just been one of each and they could've made a story about the two creatures battling each other from start to finish.Not very good, but check it out if you want.
If you're going to watch this film you cant walk in expecting a serious film. Well maybe serious is the wrong word, but you have to be in on the joke and open minded.The sole purpose of this film is to watch the alien and the predator just go at it. If you are expecting that, you won't be disappointed. While the lack of gore does take away from some of the scenes it's all in all a fun flick. Especially if you're an alien and/or predator fan.
I absolutely loved every second of AVP. Actors performances were excellent. Costumes and graphics were on point. There were no boring parts of the film. It was constantly building to the amazing climaxed ending. It is a highly underrated production and I highly recommend this film to anyone who loves sci-fi.
Alien versus Predator, what's not to like? Let's make it happen: Ali v. Frasier, Tyson v. Holyfield. All we need is a serviceable premise to pit these two against each other and we're talking about cinematic gold! Well, therein lied the problem. The story around having these two iconic creatures fight was awful. An underground pyramid has been accidentally discovered and a wealthy businessman wants to be the first to discover it. He hastily assembles a team of explorers, scientists and the oh-so necessary terrain expert, Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan). Of course instead of getting to brag about his landmark find, he finds he and his team are nothing more than canon fodder for the extra-terrestrials.Between the acting and the lazily developed story I was ready to scream. For thousands of years these inter-planetary predators would every so often visit Earth to harvest aliens in order to hunt them. What!? And as a parting gift to the humans that worshipped them they taught them how to build. Really!?Look, the only decent and watchable thing about this movie was the Predators and Aliens going at it like cats and dogs. After that there was nothing to pay attention to and nothing to hold my interest.
