disapointment all round really - i knew the plot for years and it was good it was just done in a way that made me mad.. cant give away to much so i will just moan some more
when they meet the predators they dont say cor blimey what the dickens was that - infact they dont say anything for ages - and when their buddies are screaming cos they are being done in by aliens they dont think ohh better go look...also the predators them selves are meant to be young and in training to be a proper predator yet they kinda look slow and overweight and not at all like the ninjas of the first 2 films, yeah they are young but they have had 100 years to prepare for rite of passage and they turn up looking like a couple of fat bums who cant be arsed
the plot is explained in a quick 30 second sfx show - and the ending was well pretty cool
it went from aliens to jurasic park but they left it open in 2 parts at the end one with the water - one on the space ship, and for those thinking heh hows that happen, well cast ur mind back to alien 3 ...it happens.
the actors are unknown so its fine if they all die and no one asks questions - should have had arnie again then it would of rocked a v p v arnie
whats right with it? well from the start the director is clever and puts so many images of them into your mind - for example at the start u see something spinning in space and u think ohh queen alien cool - but its a trick as its something else
also u see a lot of alien spine/tails and they are just common items pretty cunning -
it is a good plot and the sfx were niffty but it wasnt that good it could of been so much better i can only assume its all gonna happen in a sequal maybe then someone will let me know whats going on with wayland as he is the dude that played bishop and his creator in aliens/alien3
overall? 5/10 must try harder and not leave it open for such predictable endings -
also im sure these aliens turned into huge stonking alines way earlier than the other films
*edit*
on another moan it was to short! its avp for christs sake i wanted 2 hours of non stop blood acid guts swearing and the occasional sweaty woman!
