Thumbs up I just saw Alien vs Predator

I liked it. Really reminded me of the game (the 1st FPS).

*SPOILERS!!!!!*
The teaming up was a bit retarded at first.. but after a while it got pretty cool.

The fights between the Predators and Aliens were just amazing... a geek's dream!

Anyway, did you like it?

What do you think of the ending? The Predalien? A sequel is welcome, but this time we need better actors.

I liked it too, thought it was treat unfairly by critics. Though it would have been nice if they had explained the whole sped up gestation period as a result of hormone injection.

You know, IMO there wasn't enough fighting between the Aliens and Predators. I will agree the parts they did battle was awesome, just wasn't enough for me.

I thought it was a decent movie. Not great but not terrible.

Has anyone played the AvP shooter? It was one of the best shooters in my opinion.

If they make a better story (not some nonsense in a maze), get some better actors and have some more alien-predator interaction, you can hook me up for the sequel.

Oh 1 stupid thing about the marines/guns.... why did they have to put those in if they didn't use them??? It would be like talking about the T-Rex in Jurassic Park but not showing him...

Neo what do you mean? The fact that the Aliens grow so fast?

Another mistake is that Predators prefer/need heat. In this movie they all run around in the snow.... of course it's possible that they only prefer heat... but whatever.

Predalien? If you're suggesting a hybrid creature there was no such thing. An Alien larva simply got on board the Predator ship and most likely impregnated one of the Predators as it does to humans. I didn't like how the ending generally favored the Predators. I guess the same could be said for the whole story because if the humans wouldn't have been there, the Predator's would've had their @$$es handed to them on extra-terrestrial plates. Instead the writers decided to give the Predators the upper hand the whole time. Most of the battles that occured without human interference were won by the Aliens though. I'm just glad the ending assures you that a single Alien still lives on...

On a second note, the initial previews for this movie were deceiving because they showed a clip of the scene where the Aliens and Predators from thousands of years ago are battling, and there's just tons of aliens everywhere. But in the movie, that's only just a short flashback. I was disappointed to discover that.

Muwahahaha n00b speaking.

Say hello to the Predalien:



Unfortunately I couldn't find screen caps of the baby Predalien at the end of the movie, but it's him alright. You can notice that it has additional jaws, like the Predator.

OMG, what a n00b! Everyone knows that the aliens real name is xenomorph, you little kid!
