Well either way I sure am not staring at this atrocious film. Or am I? Well, being a fanboy of the original films and seeing the trailer for this flick thinking, "Is this for real? Am I actually seeing an Alien Vs. Predator film that takes it to the streets. The answer is yes. But these would be the streets of the most run down ghetto slum that exists. The film has some decent acting from the cop and the army chick but beside that wow... the younger brother was trying to be a stud but failed miserably. The "hot chick" says about 2 lines that aren't very convincing and trust me... she gets what she deserves. The bully is just a dumb brute. And the older brother, don't get me started on that guy. He was like a fonz-meets Easy Rider type guy and he was just junk. My favorite character would have to be the pizza hut guy who says "screw saving the women and children this isn't titanic" That is absolutely hilarious. The fight scenes are good between the monsters but the build up is way too long. The movie in a nutshell is basically... oh someone dies, lets check it out... oh someone dies, lets check it out. It's monotonous to say the least. During the final chaos scenes in the city the film does get better and some of the scenery is fantastic. Because I am easily amused, I'll give a 6 out of 10. Well, I take that back. That Titanic line was pretty funny. I'll give it a 7 out of 10. But to an average viewer, I suggest putting some thought into your moral standards before seeing this flick. Acting -5/10 Story 4/10 Action 7/10 Titanic Line and Swimming Scene 10/10 Overall 7/10

I absolutely hated the first AVP but when I heard this sequel was going back to basics, focusing on adult horror rather than PG-13 scares (and with no human-friendly Predators in sight),I thought it ought to be better than the first. It is – but only just.

The problem is the script. It's as bland, senseless and unengaging as the previous film's, with the only difference being that the gore ante is upped slightly. Thus this time we see plenty of chest-bursting scenes and blood splashing around. It doesn't make the film any more entertaining, though.

I really don't understand why they bother with the human cast in these films – the characters are inevitably soulless, bland and interchangeable, and if we're supposed to care about whether any of them live or die then it doesn't work. They just distract from the main interest, which is Predator vs Alien action. Unfortunately a pair of siblings named the Brothers Strause are the guys who shot this, and they display little discernible talent. The various action scenes are badly edited and the whole film is about ten times too dark, meaning you can barely make out what's going on.

At various times I recognised sound effects and/or music which are ripped off from both PREDATOR and ALIENS, but the inclusion of these only serves to remind the viewer just how good those original movies were...

Following AVP, the Predator ship is leaving earth. An Alien hybrid erupts from the Predator dead body and the ship crashes into the woods of Gunnison County, Colorado. An emergency signal is sent to the Predator planet and a lone Predator is dispatched. The Aliens escape from the crashed ship and start impregnating the locals. Both the Predator and the locals must battle the rampaging Aliens with the new hybrid leader.

There are some horrific stuff going on in this movie and that's great. A little boy gets it Kane-style. The stuff in the maternity ward is pretty nasty. I'm glad that they stop trying to connect with the original Aliens by including Bishop. However none of the new characters are terribly compelling. Returning military helicopter pilot Kelly O'Brien (Reiko Aylesworth) is probably the only character of note. The teenagers are weak. The sheriff is forgettable. O'Brien and the Predator are the only interesting characters. This does have some solid B-horror action.
