A Film like AVP has a lot to live up to... I believe AVP did so. It was meant to be a popcorn movie,If you except this you will enjoy the film and it fulfilled its purpose. True we don't get much character development,and we are plunged into Weyland's Antartic adventure within the first fifteen minutes.The characters when given time,are very good,ala Chuck Weyland,Lex,Sebastian,Miller,and of course Scar the Predator.We care for them.But that is only a select few characters listed above ^^^The plot is okay,An expedition crew,goes to find an Anicent Pyarmid,and gets caught up in the Alien/Predator war.We really only want to see the Predators,and Aliens fight til all hell breaks lose,and we see it.We do get some great battle sequences,and the Predators,and Aliens have never looked finer. We get a decent film,when viewing I didn't care about the PG-13 rating,or the fact Paul WS Anderson was behind the directors chair,I was having a fun time. By no means is AVP the next Alien/Aliens/Predator,but it is a fun film in its own right nonetheless
I give it a 3/4
