Thank you, Jimbo. I had no intention of seeing this movie. These plot holes you pointed out have reinforced that decision. If I want to see some Giger aliens, I'm sticking to Scott and Cameron.


Alien versus Predator is a moving briming with good ideas and bad excecution. Spoilers ahead. For example showing the beginning of the Weyland corperation. It missed a huge opertunity it had to explain why Wayland is so obsesed with finding the creature in the Alien Quadrilogy. I would have loved if it had done a momment like in the first Terminator finding the chip in the lab. Also the Predator without his mask didn't look right. In the Predator movies the predators mandibles appear like part of the jaw until the predator makes noise. Hear the mandibles still out of its face to a very unatural level. A minor complaint but considering how all the other creature effects in the movie were excellent its a shame. As all reviews pointed out the characters are flat. Not one has a single momment I would consider memerable. These people mostly excist as fodder for the Aliens and Predators to kill. I might be able to forgive all these flaws if it gave some nice gore. The PG-13 rating hurts this movie bad. Classic scenes like the chestbursting, Predator ripping out the skulls and skinning them, Aliens thruster there penis like tounges into peoples heads, all are absent in Alien versus Predator. If an R rated cut in givin for the DVD I might considering buying it for the fun of seeing these creatures fight.
