This movie is not as bad as everyone claims, but at the same time it's not as good as it could have been. From what I can tell, the Predators hold true to canon for the most part, but some of the things about the Aliens change a little, like the gestation period after a Facehugger attacks. Instead of several hours or a day for the baby alien to gestate inside it's host, it takes about 30 minutes to an hour for the alien to bust through the host's chest. Lance Henriksen stars in it as Mr. Weyland, apparently the founder of The company; Weyland-Yutami. It is surreal to see the aliens and the predators together though. If I were you I'd watch it, it can't hurt and you may even like it.

hmm they ruined the predator story though by the battle taking place under the ice, while a predator always hunt in an extreme hot area.

They use infared for thier vision so it would make sence they also hunt in the cold. Also, remember that when they built that prymid Antarctica was a much warner climate according to the flashback scenes.

You should watch this movie. Its not that bad but the action makes it worth it. I also have a question about this movie. If the predators have self-distruct device wouldn't they find at least some evidence of an explosion on the pyramid under the ice? And how did a cavern "form" around the pyramid?

Good questions. Perhaps the blast that took out the alien army thousands of years ago was not the same type of blast used today. Maybe the ancient blast only effected living things (would say organic material, but we do not know that the xenomorphs are organic). As for the caven, lol, I have no idea. Maybe we need to get a geologist here.

It is obvious that Alien versus Predator did not do well in the box office otherwise there would have been a sequel - beter yet a TV series.

There is a sequel and it will be released at the end of the year. Although the original wasn't as good as it should have been, the sequel is something to look forward too.

I liked AVP. It was FAR FAR better than the last alien movie. they milked that one way too much. Ripley should have been abandoned. They should do some more movies. But please. Leave Weaver out of them. Alien, predator or AVP. I'll like them all.

Leave Weaver out of them. Alien, predator or AVP. I'll like them all. I agree about the last Alien movie; Alien Resurrection. Terrible. It was an okay stand alone movie, but a terrible sequel. I have this on DVD, it's pretty good and worth watching. I don't know why people said it was bad =( Much like Alien Resurrection above, AVP is an okay stand alone movie, but is no where near as good as the first Alien few alien movies, and in some cases completely ignores the canon from the Alien side of things. It also helped kill any chance left of resurrecting the Alien franchise with new quality movies. The same could be said for the Predator franchise. I still haven't seen it! Part of me dreads seeing it too, I only just saw Jason X the other night. Possibly the worse Jason movie out there, although it did have some cool scenes like the hologram of Camp Crystal Lake.

I can't believe that they're coming out with another one .. and Christmas, at that. I wonder how ticket sales will go .. do people even go out of their homes on Christmas? Or maybe it's 'cause my family is old-fashioned ..

In the last Alien movie the space ship is crash and Ripley asks the android - 'now what' or something like that and the android says 'I don't know' - is the world populated by Terminators who have defeated the humans? Or the world is at war and and one country needs a secret weapon, namely Ripley to defeat the enemy. Who knows. it is up to the imagination of Alien fans.
