My wife is out of town this week so I've haven't been doing too much in the evenings. Last night I planned to go cycling again but it was rainy so I decided to stay in. I did watch Aliens Vs Predator 2. I got it from Netflix and I knew the wife would have no interest so I watched it while working out the last 2 days. WOW was that a stinker. It was like a sci-fi original movie with a bigger budget. They pretty much threw out everything from the other movies and made some kind of "slasher movie with aliens."
The basic plot Predator ship carrying Aliens crashes in small town Colorado. Aliens escape, Predator hunts them down, mayhem ensues.
Some Highlights:
Scenes stolen completely from Aliens. (They used the music as well.)
Plot threads that go nowhere.
The aliens can now be implanted, gestated, and fully grown in a manner of minutes.
The Acid-blood is used/ignored depending on how much gore they want in that scene.
The predator, for no reason whatsoever, removes his his shoulder mounted lasers, and converts them into a pistol.
Bad political posturing ("The Government wouldn't lie to us!")
Whew, even if you liked AVP 1 I'd skip this one.
Thank god somebody agrees with me. I actually turned it off. The only cool thing in the whole movie was the predator in the sewer setting up the trap. Other than that AVP 1 was so much better.
I would have turned it off but I was working out so I just finished watching it. It didn't get any better.
