if only i have read the review by alex sander ( sic ) on here rather than look at the rating of over 6 from a select choice of the ignorant view public i would not have see this desecration . alien be a fantastic and dramatic and well make horror or sci fi . predator be a great sci fi or action mess about . i do really have only myself to blame though a i saw alien versus predator . it too have an average grading of over 6 star from the connoisseur of film that frequent this site . stop reading now if you have any fear of this ever so suspense ridden plot be ruin for you . right from the beginning this film be ridiculous . no explanation be offer for the predator ship overrun or not overrun by alien . ok so maybe they be again go to throw alien down to earth to hunt them and something go wrong but how do this result in an alien or predator hybrid and why do the rest of the crew not realise sooner despite their great technology . the start be actually the most coherent and interesting part of the film because we have some idea of who be who or what be what and perhaps why . from then on it get really ridiculous . i always leave my disbelief strictly suspend above the door of the screen before enter and collect it on the way out . i couldn not here . a father and son be hunt in the wood . the damage ship crash land to ( from the view give ) i would calculate at the very least 10 odd mile away through thick woodland . the man and boy track there alone and find the ship and get face hug . even at this point you feel very little for them mainly because the face hugger be almost comical rather than scary in their movement and action and the father seem like such an irresponsible and dumb redneck muppet . an edgy and thriller type scenario be introduce with an ex con return to the town near the crash site to be meet by his somewhat emotionless and dull now cop friend from the bus . when i say introduce i mean a feeble attempt with crap actor and no feeling be play out . a slasher or horror element be then introduce with a sexy girl and the usual supposedly nerdy or somehow undesirable cute guy who get beat up by the over protective and crazy and nasty jock type ( american sportsman not a scottish man ) . oh the cute or not cute boy be the ex con brother by the way . yes theyre clever these director brother whose name i will research in order to avoid any other shite they put out again . then a modern role reversal oh so boring attempt at pc and ripley credential type character introduction come with a female soldier return home to her husband and child . guess what happen next . i would not tell you much more about the actual ( smile sadly to himself about the demise of storytelling in the large majority of recent film ) plot just in case you have get this far and be not the bright star in the alien ridden universe . the predator be stupid for the reason state by the previous poster whose post i read too late . the alien be bore . the predator alien be ridiculous . the action be at time exploitative and gratuitous and disgust nonsense . the hospital scene with the pregnant mother . oh i be shock alright . shock at how low some people will go to get what . a scare . some shock . to titillate the perverse . what . if you really want to shock and titillate and scare people who be not pregnant or expect father or who have no soul why not just have the alien or predator shag the saucy woman and teenage girl rather than kill them . the character have no depth and neither do the plot . it film and pace badly . it act by disinterested people not that i can blame them . it further tarnish two rather interesting and good set of sci fi character . this film be rubbish and if you gain enjoyment from it i really have to worry about you . if you haven not see it then well please make your own decision . p do i even mention the way that train soldier be all kill in about 20 second while amateur civilian survive throughout .
