Description
When audiences caught a glimpse of an alien skull mounted in the trophy cabinet of a Predator in the 1990 film PREDATOR 2, it seemed a franchise was about to be born. Sure enough, comic book artists immediately seized on the possibilities suggested by the brief scene, and a number of skirmishes between the deadly foes were played out on the printed page. Fans have had to endure a lengthy wait for a cinematic match-up, but writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson (EVENT HORIZON) has finally delivered the blood-splattered goods in ALIEN VS. PREDATOR. Set in the near future, a team of archaeologists lead by Charles Wiedland (Lance Henriksen, returning for more ALIEN action after appearances in the second and third films) ventures towards an inexplicable "hot zone" detected in Antarctica. Joined by Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan) and the requisite amount of human fodder for the otherworldly creatures to feast on, Wiedland and his cohorts discover a sizeable underground pyramid. Chaos ensues as they awake the Queen alien from her blissful slumber, causing face-hugging and chest-bursting scenes aplenty. But the ailing crew has a further quandary to grapple with in the shape of some fearsome Predators, who are using the aliens as bait for their offspring to brawl with in an ancient initiation ritual. With the human team trapped in the labyrinth-like pyramid, the battle evolves into a nail-biting three-way tussle between the archaeologists and their extraterrestrial adversaries. Fans of both the ALIEN and PREDATOR movies should find much to satiate their appetites here, and with an ending suggesting further hostilities between the pernicious coupling, this one looks set to run and run.

When I heard about it having the two pair up I thought I wasn't a good pair up it wasn't my first choice, but it turned out to be OK.
Infinitely better than Freddy Vs Jason. This is another case of Could Have, Should Have. If they had had more Predators, less humans dead and more fight scenes this would have been a great film. Combining the two major aliens in films should have been an amazing movie but it never delivered. Storyline was told within about 2 minutes when some translator sums up the whole story in a couple of...
Well, they sure butchered this movie. It should have been so much better. It should have been a lot gorier, and there should have been more ficht scenes with Alien and Predator.
Strengths: N/A
Weakness: N/A
I watched this movie expecting to see some knock down, shoot em up, face hugging, spear thrusting action. The movie had it, but nowhere near long or gory enough. Though they didn't have their cannons, which I admit are a must, how does one alien wack two predators and why did the director let one get taken out with no battle what so ever. Another thing, for all the humans in that movie, you'd...
Good movie, but the end was really weird.
Unlike freddy versus jason, Alien versus predator is way better, i dislike the pg-13 rating. It is like trying to tame the Alien, just like Ripley #8 said in Alien Resurrection. You can't teach them tricks. I am glad that the director had the alien and predator fight for some reason. The sequel Aliens versus predator: Requiem has an r-rating. But i have the "Extreme Unrated 2-disc version" on...
I'd like to see the two as running mates in a Libertarian presidential ticket.
It was a inteligent way of bringing both franchises together, but the execution was a little lacking. Premise was shakey but if you like both franchises you will enjoy the flick.
It shocked me how they could potray the predator as careless. 1st they underestamate the humans abilitys to figure out where there guns are, therefore rushing them into the pyramid with no guns. Then as they attempt to get there guns back, one of them dies while trying to kill a human, and the same alien kills the second predator just cause he didnt know how strong his own weapons would be...
Gore without scares and cardboard cut-out characters make this clash of the monsters a dull sit.

Alien vs. Predator (DVD - 2004)
All the gimmicks from both franchises making it doubly predictable. Leave this crap for the comic books!
