AvP Your Thoughts

I did not like the way it ignored the previous Alien films.

Somehow it now only takes minutes for an Alien to develop and burst out rather than a couple of days.

I cannot see scientists knowing that there is an Alien queen in the Artic ocean and just leaving it there. So the creature discovered in Alien would be known to human kind.

As a piece of throw away entertainment, its ok.
 
Complete crap, had it been based on the original dark horse graphic novel, which was set in the future, and not completely ignored aliens/predator continuity it mighta been good...Bleh!
 
Must agree with the majority , I like both the original Alien and Predators movies a great deal . I even enjoyed the PC game , but AvP the film ...a waste .. special effects ..ok ...storyline ... if there was one I missed it... acting mediocre . imo
 
No. This film is not the prequel to the first alien film.
For a start, we see the Alien being born in the first Alien film.

The ending was left open in order to make a sequel. However, Paul Anderson has a habit of completely destroying movies, and he did it again with this turkey.
 
i think you will find you can take it both ways! depending if there will be another AvP!!! or it can just be contiued with alien as the cast did find an alien ship with eggs all over it. and predator 1 and two after all its mentioned that they have been coming here for centeries.
who knows for sure but thats what makes thes films great.
 
That crashed ship at the start of Alien wasnt the Predator ship from AVP. So AVP isnt a direct prequel. Plus the Alien that burst out of the Predator would have to have been a queen to lay the eggs and if I remember correctly, it wasnt.

AVP paid the the basic principles of the 2 film creatures very little respect. There were Chestburters that were born 10 mins after the Face Hugger let go and the Predator was killing people who werent armed. Something they wouldnt do in the other films, no sport.
 
duncans is spot on. The ship they found on the planet surface wasn't the Predator ship from AVP.

The film as he also says, removed all kinRAB of key components of the film that made the characters who they are in modern movie mythology.
And the Matrix Move Facehugger... blergh.

Paul WS Anderson is an abysmal film maker. He really is.
 
Not a good film at all. :(

Especially when you learn that the film-makers complained about studio interference and that the version shown was not what the director wanted.

Doesn't anyone remember the stink the director and producer made over this?
