Directed by: Paul W.S. Anderson

An expedition of archaeologists on Earth discover an Aztec temple hidden under the Antarctic circle, housing a host of Alien creatures. A group of coming-of-age Predators have also come to the temple, as it has long been a training ground for their race. From there on, it's Aliens vs. Predators, with the humans caught in the middle.

In delivering PG-13-rated excitement, Alien vs. Predator is an acceptably average science-fiction action thriller with some noteworthy highlights, even if it squanders its opportunity to intelligently combine two popular and R-rated franchises. Rabid fans can justifiably ask "Is that all there is?" after a decade of development hell and eager anticipation, but we're compensated by reasonably logical connections to the Alien legacy and the still-kicking Predator franchise (which hinted at AVP rivalry at the end of Predator 2); some cleverly claustrophobic sets, tense atmosphere and impressive digital effects; and a climactic AVP smackdown that's not half bad. This disposable junk should've been better, but nobody who's seen Mortal Kombat or Resident Evil should be surprised by writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson's lack of imagination. As a brisk, 90-minute exercise in generic thrills, however, Anderson's work is occasionally impressive... right up to his shameless opening for yet another sequel.

I really thought that the movie was gonna be awesome. That is until i saw it... Some questions for the audience:
1) do you really think that the ending of a movie should be a promise of a sequel? Shouldn't films be more independent from one another and make you just stand and think "wow, great movie, i wonder if there's gonna be a sequel" or "what a piece of crap, i am definately not going to see the sequel"
2) one of the final scenes(after they killed the queen) that featured the woman and the predator. The question is: "don't you think that after all that bullcrap we had to witness some hours before it they should kiss?" well i think they should, the atmosphere was just perfect.
3) how about throwing aliens through walls? In all the movies before they weren't super-aliens, but aliens. The idea that one alien killed a heavily armoured predator disgusts me.
4) who is so stupid not to bring wristblades and spears out of acid-resistant metal to fight a creature that has acid for blood? Predators are ailens too, just more advanced... Shouldn't they think of it?

i cant begin to say how awfuly directed this film was... hardly any alien vs predator action... the alins were designed awfuly, i mean thy facehugged humans... so thy shud stand upright? but no he makes them small, smaller heads, n dog like movement. the predators werent done justice and were made to look to big. The film was shit, it didnt feel like a war betweeen the 2 races, felt like predators were 2 much in control. Wasnt enjoyable to wath at all =/.

this movie was so bad i lost all hope of alien vs predator movies but when is saw the traier for the new one i hope that this is better than the first one cuz i cant take another bad movie or im goin to go crazy!
