Aliens fighting predators while watching out for falling prices sounds pretty intense.

oh man, falling prices. I wish I was you

this sounds literally like Predator, except for the space stuff

fantastic movie

12/20/2007 1:00:10 PM

thats why it would be good

12/20/2007 1:34:24 PM

this is just too appropriate

12/20/2007 4:28:27 PM

^ haha, can't stop laughing

12/20/2007 6:17:04 PM

the trailer is dope as fuck.

when everything goes quiet except for "Silent Night" but there's still all kinds of carnage going on,
ooooooo

12/20/2007 8:52:47 PM

that is so awesome

12/20/2007 9:33:29 PM

saw it tonight.

terrible.
save your money.
kill the directors.

12/25/2007 8:33:52 PM

Haha, I was all psyched to see it today, looked at a couple reviews, saw that it was barely 90 minutes, decided to save my money.

12/25/2007 9:32:14 PM

12/26/2007 12:07:10 AM

just saw this.

First: WAAAAY better than the first one. The R rating is very obvious and helps a lot.

DOUBLE CHECK

Also there is a really hot girl and a nice view of her ass.

I enjoyed it. There were a lot of "oh shit" and "freaking awesome" moments.

12/26/2007 12:08:55 AM

spoiler question...

I watched this tonight, can anyone tell me the reference made at the very end of the movie

12/26/2007 12:54:52 AM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weyland-Yutani

there you go.

12/26/2007 12:44:16 PM

So the verdict is nay? How disappointing.

12/26/2007 5:54:37 PM

we saw it. we were entertained. but nothing amazing. don't do a $texas evening show.

Someone bump this when it gets to the dollar fifty theater

12/26/2007 9:51:20 PM

***SPOILER WARNING***

It wasn't very good. Their plot seemed to lose much coherence by about midway through. Not a lot of alien versus predator action. Humans had to use a thermonuclear warhead just to stop the alien infestation.

The plot reeks of bullshit.

12/27/2007 12:51:32 AM

You people are morons. There isnt supposed to be any plot during the movie. Its just an all out fight with the aliens, the one predator, and humans caught in the middle, trying to survive. The plot doesnt kick in until the very last scene.

They're setting this franchise up for a pretty lenghty story. Its clear that most of you dont know a goddamn thing about the Alien and AvP universe. Its like watching X-men without ever having heard of what a comic book is

12/27/2007 1:00:44 AM

the move is terribad. They filmed every scene close up and every fight scene gave me a headache.

I shouldn't have to read comic books and wiki the "avp universe" to find apperciation in that movie.

12/27/2007 1:11:44 AM

Did the predator really have to suck so bad though? He didn't even fucking kill the predalien!

12/27/2007 1:18:54 AM

Why do aliens get underestimated and predators overestimated so much?

Aliens are revered as the ultimate prey for predators, because they're badass creatures. the average alien can beat the average predator one on one. Which is why the predator's rite of passage is to kill an Alien (see the first movie...the predators got their asses kicked because they were essentially teenagers)

The predator in this one was a badass. He was fuckin up normal aliens left and right.
The predalien was a hell of a lot stronger (aliens take on characteristics of their hosts) and the predator was missing a lot of his gear by that point. The fact that he took him out along with him was still kind of impressive

[Edited on December 27, 2007 at 1:26 AM. Reason : ]

12/27/2007 1:26:25 AM

It was decently impressive. I think why the reason predators are expected to win is because of their technology, however the aliens get a few bullet holes in them and they stop coming after you.

12/27/2007 1:47:07 AM

my only issue with the first movie was its location.

setting it in some underground mayan ruins / Legend of the Hidden Temple bullshit ruined it right off the bat.

Put the shit in a real location and I would have been happy with it.

This one should be pretty cool, although it's still probably going to suck. From the few AvP books i read back in the day, the whole Hunt was a group thing, with small packs of predators going after hordes of aliens on worlds they had intentionally infested and let the aliens breed on for a while.

EXACTLY.

Granted, the first Alien movie still had a decent plot.

Quote :

Are you kidding? I'm pretty sure that lone predator took out 30 aliens on his own. I'm also pretty sure he killed the predalien in a hand-to-hand (claw?) fight.

I didn't pay to get a plot. If I wanted that, I'd rent Serenity. I paid my money to see a Predator rip an Alien's tongue-thingy out. Also the scene with the pregnant chick.

And the nice ass. Can't forget that sweet ass-shot.

12/27/2007 2:55:33 AM

thought it was a weak fucking movie. plot was terrible and the writing was even worse.

12/27/2007 5:32:50 AM

Technically, the only reason movie 2 happened was because the writers wanted the predator spacecraft to crash on Earth and not the Moon. I mean it could have landed anywhere in the time it took for the chestburster to gestate. I would have rather seen a little more alien versus predator and a lot less human versus alien action. Since everybody dies in the end, does it really matter that there was all this ass-kicking in the first place? I guess Weyland-Yutani was the only benefactor to the script. Although I don't remember humans carrying plasma casters anyhow.

12/27/2007 8:09:40 AM

movie fucking sucked. A lot of the action scenes happen in dark places and you can't see shit. Plot is chock-full of high school teenage drama shit. Only one predator. I had high hopes after seeing the trailer but it's like seeing a 2-dollar bill in a pile of dog shit... it ain't worth it.

12/27/2007 10:30:57 AM

^my thoughts exactly.

12/27/2007 10:46:26 AM

I feel bad that I wasted $$$ on this movie.

12/30/2007 2:21:11 AM

I feel bad I wasted my time on this movie although I saw it fo free.

Worst movie i've seen all year

but seriously, if I saw it last year, it would be slightly above that shitty marriage training movie with robin williams.


^^^seriously the trailer kicked ass. The ratio of how much the trailer kicked ass to how little the movie did is mind boggling.

It's really interesting that the trailer did rock, even the red band trailer rocked, however, I think every damn trailer was a teaser to make the movie look better. There seemed to be no continuity that appeared in the movie, and I was almost right when I said the red band trailer included all the action in the movie, it was about that.

1/2/2008 10:10:20 AM

i really enjoyed watching aliens and predators kill things so i walked away from the theater feeling satisfied

i'll never watch this movie again though

1/2/2008 10:18:32 AM

I always think "how could this concept possibly be bad?"

Then I remember the Matrix trilogy and episodes 1 - 3.

1/2/2008 11:44:00 AM

much, much, much better than the first one, but overall not great, i still enjoyed it. had a few great lines/moments. no "you are one ugly mother fucker" which surprised me, especially since they seemed determined to recreate every other memorable past scene from the alien/predator franchise

1/8/2008 3:39:48 AM

eh i think i liked the first one wayyyy more.

although i don't remember it all that much.

1/8/2008 3:42:19 AM

so if aliens supposedly take on characteristics of their hosts, what human traits do they possess? i mean the pedalien has the dreads and the mouth

1/8/2008 5:02:05 PM

^ i think only the queens do that. i.e. the one in Ripley in Alien 3/Resurrection

1/8/2008 5:04:46 PM

They're bipedal and have a body that is similar to humans in form - contrast it with the dog alien in Alien 3. The basic canon is that the Alien is such a great life form because by taking on the characteristics of the host they are prepared for whatever environment the host inhabited.

Alien 3 featured a queen chest burster, but they've never really made it clear if that's the only way that one is created. In theory an Alien drone could turn into one like a queen ant or bee.

1/8/2008 5:14:01 PM

The movie was pretty much what I expected

gooey aliens ---> wet t-shirt contest ---> gooey aliens

repeat for 1.5 hours. Although I like that there's at least one movie that doesn't use shitty looking CGI for everything.

1/8/2008 5:22:16 PM

when that chick got stuck to the wall in the hospital, fucking classic.

Also, I eat babies.

1/9/2008 6:31:18 PM

^yah, that was one of the best parts, one of my other favorite parts, and i'm paraphrasing because i dont remember exacly what he said, but: "shut the fuck up, we need guns if we're gonna get out of here, you are too fucking stupid to speak," it was something along those lines, made me laugh out loud

1/9/2008 8:40:20 PM

i felt like i should have enjoyed her being stuck to the wall, but i didn't at all. i usually love shit like this.

and yeah, the "you're too stupid to speak" line was pretty good.

1/9/2008 8:44:23 PM

The circumstances that made her stuck to the wall just ruined it for me. There was no criminal intent.

1/11/2008 7:02:58 PM

haha

1/11/2008 7:04:07 PM

Watching Aliens on Showtime right now.

It always amazes me how awesome this movie is. James Cameron was a genius for following what was essentially a haunted house movie with a war film.
