the review on the main page admit that the movie be horrible but that you should forgive it because it be nicely violent . no you shouldn not . there be spoiler at the end of this review but how i can spoil this rotten movie i have no idea . even if you be a die hard alien or pred fan like i be wait for the dvd . it isn not worth a 3 . 99 rental either but you will be much less inclined to truly hate this film if you pay that than 12 buck or good per person plus concession purchase at a theater . in the theater i watch avpr there be exactly two laugh and both by a girl sit next to me . other than that there be total silence throughout . no ooohs and or that be bad as . and nothing . imagine be a patient on an operating table and just be give the anesthetic . now you know what you will feel like in the theater after the opening scene of avpr . what be the budget on this movie . like war of the world and mi 3 and and other f or x driven movie the director seem far more involved in what the cgi people can come up with than develop character or a plot . spielberg have try and fail at this several time and usually with tom cruise . sure the movie make money but should they . war of the world and minority report have the budget to pay for a decent script and tom cruise et al and and ss himself but be still awful . i be sure avp waste 90 % of their budget on cg and have no choice but to hire any actor that would say yes even though the casting agent would have do good by go to the supermarket and picking actor at random . there be no tension develop in any scene so we be never close to be surprise . who care who get kill . we do not know any of them and we all know what happen when the lil alien make their corporeal exit and we all know the blood be acid . in alien and alien and 3 and resurrection and and even avp the director make use of the fact that the alien can think and can hide and can lay trap . this director decide that the ridley scott and james cameron and and others be idiot for develop character you actually want to see either live or get kill . in this installment you will never care who live or dy and not a kid and a parent and a pregnant woman . the character serve only one purpose in this movie and to die . the opening scene establish the fact that the movie be go to be a predictable joke . the character development scene mix clichés and bad humor and and bad acting and numb the viewer to the point where we really do not care if they get kill so long a they die in never before see way . but they do not . the director try to make something different from those who precede him in the alien franchise but only succeed in discard the good part of the first film and the human protagonist and and steal the rest from other recent sci fi film . there be not one original use of the either the alien or pred character . the pred actually have little trouble kill alien by the dozen even though the last movie lead u to believe that pred revere the alien a such a deadly foe that they use the killing of one a rite of passage . the alienpred be never really develop a a fearsome creature . it ability to inject parasite into a host be rip from several different movie most recently probably be hellboy where samiel dismember tongue inject egg into hellboy or doom where the mutated creature would leave their tongue behind after they spear a victim throat . simply put we aren not give reason to care about anything in this movie . there be violence but it doesn not shock or surprise and be nothing that hasn not be see in any of a hundred slasher flick . the cg be ok and both specie of alien be make to look and move a they have in movie past . but since the character be never develop and the acting be so bad we kind of hope that they all die . the little girl be probably the best actor of the bunch but sadly we aren not make to care whether or not kid and woman and or anyone else live or dy . we just want the movie to end . eventually it do but not before another steal plot line from resident evil 2 have a nuke aim gunnison way to wipe out the infection . and not before yet another stupid scene that be suppose to open the door for further sequel but do it . in a movie fill with bad scene the bad may have be save for last . sorry for the repetition but everything bear repeat represent bad script and no plot and unoriginal action scene and uninspired direction and abysmal acting and decent f or x that be waste because of the many flaw . i do not mind go to an indie film and be disappoint . the actor and director and crew be probably get their career go and work on a shoestring budget . for a movie with this type of budget and hype i feel cheat along with disappointed . this movie be a painfully boring waste of time from the opening scene to close credit . sad to say that a preview of hellboy 2 be the best part of avpr and hb2 do not even look that good .
