Critic Reviews

  • Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

    To ingest Alien vs. Predator on its own slimy, divertingly synthetic terms, it helps to forget everything previously known -- and loved -- about the franchise monster aliens who get star billing.

  • Cliff Doerksen, Chicago Reader

    Expensive claptrap.

  • Ed Halter, Village Voice

    Perfunctory battle sequences, cardboard characters, and uncreative scare 'ems.

  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star

    The film equivalent of a deep-fried Mars bar: an interesting combination that results in a gloppy mess.

  • Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

    Take a wretched premise. Imagine the worst picture that could be made from it. Then imagine something even worse.

    A research team investigating an ancient pyramid discovered beneath the Antarctic are caught in the middle of a battle between two hostile alien races. Paul W. S. Anderson is a damn hack, which makes it deeply annoying that I actually quite enjoyed this film. The action sequences are… More

    This is an example of a franchise clash film that makes a negative out of two positives. Alien provides absolute horror and memorable characters in its films and Predator provides the thrills and more than necessary action sequences in its films. When the two meet what you get is… More

    Its an entertaining enough sequel, however im now starting to get that feeling that if you've seen the previous one it will be pretty much the same. The fight scenes between the two different species are much more explosive and entertainging than compared to the first one which… More

    Was this a incredible movie? No. Was it a good movie? Yes. While it may not appeal to those looking for a movie as violent as the original Predator movies, or as scary as the alien movies, i'll admit to liking it. The action is obviously the centerpiece of the movie. The… More
