Viewing Notes

A sequel to 2004’s Alien vs. Predator, the iconic creatures from two of the scariest film franchises in movie history wage their most brutal battle ever - in our own backyard. When the Pred-Alien causes the ship to crash, the Predators send in a cleaner to wipe up the mess, only the aliens are getting out of control in a small town and the military is looking to clean up before they get out. I like this one better than the first, if only because they fixed a number of continuity issues with the first, but they basically had to pick up where the first left off and try to salvage it with some success. The characters aren’t quite as dumb, but they have their moments. Where the other film kind of took what it wanted, this one pays more direct homages with the music, effects, and even dialogue and situations.  This is both good and bad and ends up with mixed results. The film also feels like it was shot by two different people as they can’t ever get night scenes, or at least action sequences lit quite right so you can actually see what’s going on. And so the AVP series comes to a quick close.
