One of my favorite movies- There's hope for this franchise!

AVP:R This film starts directly after Paul W. S. Anderson's yawner AVP. I have to admit when I first saw AVP I absolutly loved it! But after seeing the rest of the Alien and Predator movie series, the action, horror, and flow of them made me look back and say "I watched that disgraceful movie?" Now that AVP:R is out it easily ties with my other two favorite Alien movies: Alien and Aliens. I only give it 4 out of 5 stars because the characters are pretty two-dimensional. The movie starts with the Pred-alien being born, quickly morphing into full size, and killing two Predators. The Predator ship then crashes on Earth, where facehuggers infect a father and his son, who are on a hunting trip. Soon aliens are born, the Pred-alien starts putting aliens into people, and a predator lands on Earth to "clean up" the mess. People start dying, and the town nearby begins to wonder "what's going on here?" There are some pretty gruesome scenes, and this unrated version is not for the faint of heart. It's good for those of you who thought the first AVP was to much on the lighter side of things. For there first film the brothers Strause did a pretty good job! It's another great way to re-imagine this series( there's no lack of imagination!) Highly recommended for all of you Alien/Predator fans! A-

A definative Breed apart...

As a huge fan of the Alien and Predator franchises I had high expectations for this sequel and was even more impatient for the unrated version. And frankly I was not disappointed in the least, but horrifically thrilled. The hybrid born in the last moments of the first 'vs' film was brought to unbelievable and terrible life, realistic detailing that missed nothing of the greater aspects from both species, including improved intelligence and leadership, and finally an ability to inspire heart stopping terror that combines the utter callousness and disdain for other lifeforms from both alien parent species that have shocked and horrified us in the past. Horros that were only hinted at and skimmed over in "Aliens" were brought to terrible and gut wrenching life in this special effects extravaganza that explored a cross section of humanity normally concidered inviolate, even in horror films: as seen in the the second human victim, at a restaraunt after closing and finally in a idolized ward of the hospital. These scenes alone place this film in a catagory all it's own that I will never forget or ever be able to view without something in my mind and soul shrinking away. I can understand some of the negative reviews given and may even agree, at least surfacely, with the detractors. However, I completely disagree with those who completely dish this film because of these marks of imperfections. Okay, so the lighting could have been brighter in the night scenes, the alien embryos did have an excelerated development compared to most previous incarnations in the Alien quadrilogy, the characters were not shining examples of subtext and complexicity, and perhaps the ending was not a jaw dropping surprise, but... the darkness was reminescent of the original Alien films and managed to convey one of the most diabolical fears of humans exploited by Ridley Scott & James Cameron -the paralizing terror of monsters in the shadows, (personally I had no trouble seeing or following the camera's eyes and the resultant half flashes building up to explosions of terror), we also saw the same excelerated embryonic growth in "Alien vs Predator" and I saw this in both films as a development by the Predators themselves to enjoy the 'hunt' without undue waiting and waisting of time alloted for achieving the highest honor and status of their kind, nor did I expect to see Academy Award winning performances in a high action horror film, although there was nothing wrong with the performances in this movie as the actors indeed conveyed their hopes, embarrassments, fears, and desperation with style and aplomb. As for the ending I found it ingenious to have a tie-in that stretched back to the earlier films, especially "Aliens" itself. So, to sum it up I find this film to be a wonderful example of the things I most want in any action, horror, thriller, or sci-fi creation: superb and extraordinary special effects, a script that pushes the envelope of it's predecessors and will spark hours of my own thoughts and what-ifs, good and believable performances of the cast, and finally- a movie that I have already watched more than once and will enjoy many times to come.
