In delivering PG-13-rated excitement, Alien vs. Predator is an acceptably average science-fiction action thriller with some noteworthy highlights, even if it squanders its opportunity to intelligently combine two popular and R-rated franchises. Rabid fans can justifiably ask "Is that all there is?" after a decade of development hell and eager anticipation, but we're compensated by reasonably logical connections to the Alien legacy and the still-kicking Predator franchise (which hinted at AVP rivalry at the end of Predator 2); some cleverly claustrophobic sets, tense atmosphere and impressive digital effects; and a climactic AVP smackdown that's not half bad. This disposable junk should've been better, but nobody who's seen Mortal Kombat or Resident Evil should be surprised by writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson's lack of imagination. As a brisk, 90-minute exercise in generic thrills, however, Anderson's work is occasionally impressive... right up to his shameless opening for yet another sequel. --Jeff Shannon

AVP dvd.......2007-09-14
I picked this up for my friend who just HAS TO HAVE this movie. Came very fast, like 3-4 days . Sealed , perfect. good price. Thanks
Just to let you know.......2007-09-09
I just wanted to share this with customers. If you buy a copy of AvP with the Predator on the left side then it contains the Director's Cut and the PG-13 version. If you buy the copy with the Alien on the left, it is the PG-13 version only. I hope this helps some users.
Looked great on my Samsung BD-P1000!.......2007-07-16
I played this on a Samsung BD-P1000 and the picture quality was great! The sound was also very clear. It's a fun movie and I really enjoyed the experience.
I had to upgrade my firmware before playing it, so make sure you do that if you have any problems watching it.
A great crossover between the alien and predator franchise (ks) .......2007-07-14
The movie is about a discovery of an ancient pyramid that is buried beneath the ice of Antarctica sends a team of scientists to the continent. When they get there they find the alien and predator at war, with the people in their battle. This film has a great storyline that is very interesting to follow with. The aliens and predators look and move like they were real. AVP also has a lot of action that is sure to please anyone who likes action movies or just like the alien or predator movies. This 2 disc unrated has a lot of special features and extra scenes and also comes with a alien vs predator comic book. There is a suprise ending that there is going to be another movie. This is an excellent movie to add to your dvd collection as with any predator or alien movies.
Whoever Wins, We Lose..........2007-06-18
Finally, after 14 years of anticipation, the ultimate monster slugfest arrived for moviegoers to witness the epic battle that is "AVP: Alien Vs Predator". Fans of the two franchises thought that this movie would have arrived to theaters much sooner than it actually did, since at the end of "Predator 2", audiences got a glimpse of an alien skull in the predator's trophy case, hinting that the two races had already met in combat. For some reason 20th Century Fox had trouble getting the movie off the ground, more than likely the scripts for the film were never good enough to do any kind of justice to either of the two franchises, so the execs at Fox decided to put the film on the backburner until a proper story could be crafted that would please fans of the series'. Eventually Fox found the right man to bring the two monsters together on screen, a director that has had plenty of experience with the science-fiction genre, none other than Paul Anderson (director of "Resident Evil" and "Soldier"). With the cast assembled, a talented sci-fi director behind the camera, and a story that would hopefully do justice to these two hugely popular franchises, it was time for the battle to begin.
"AVP: Alien Vs Predator" begins when a team of archaeologists are brought together by Charles Weyland (Lance Henriksen), the co-founder of the very corporation that Sigourney Weaver's character Ripley worked for in the `Alien' series, to explore an ancient temple hidden under the Antarctic. When the team arrives they discover that this is no ordinary temple, it is actually a proving grounds for young predators to hunt the most dangerous prey alive, the xenomorphs (aliens). Now, the archaeologists are in for the fight of their lives as they are stuck in the middle of a war that no matter who wins, we lose.
Director Paul Anderson has skillfully crafted an exciting monster smackdown that lives up to the quality of both character's respective franchises. It was interesting to see how this movie set into motion events that take place in the `Alien' franchise (which occurs many years after this movie), by setting up Charles Weyland's interest in the aliens. The movie also takes time to explore the rituals that the predators must go through to become the ultimate hunters, by showing how they achieve their vast array of weaponry and skills. There are other aspects of the story that links into each franchises established storylines, but I don't want to ruin everything for those that may have not seen this movie or any of the other films from the two franchises either.
The movie featured a solid cast of character actors led by veteran actor Lance Henriksen in the role of Charles Bishop Weyland, a nod to his character Bishop from James Cameron's impressive film "Aliens". Along with the talented cast, the film also boasted impressive visual effects and costumes that brought the aliens and predators to life, and made their brutal fight scenes incredibly entertaining to watch. Even though it took 14 years for this film to finally be made, the wait was definitely worth it, plus, any sooner may have been too soon, because the technology of the film industry was finally advanced enough to bring this epic war to life in a realistic fashion that will make the creators of the series' proud and entertain fans worldwide.
"AVP: Alien Vs Predator" is available in both PG-13 and unrated editions, both contain violence and language.

ALIEN AND PREDATOR THE BEST OF FOES!!!.......2007-09-07
i like alien and i like predator so i didn't know who to go for, but i wanted to the see the battle. the alien franchise is good, and the predator is in my collection as well. alien is a wonderful creature, ready to kill, and in this one it's no different. predator, a great hunter, and a force not to be reckoned with. the greatest out of space rivals ever to grace the screen, came together just right. i thought this movie stood up on it's own. greatly written out, nicely done, and the two main species were absoulutly wonderful. they did what they do best, kill and fight. the way they managed for this story to include both and end up having been enemies for ages, great job. the fighting sequence is great, the actors did their thing. it should have been longer, but with this new one coming out, maybe that'll satisfy my longing for more. thanks a bunch.
Better than most say!!!.......2007-06-19
Like many, I am a fan of both the "Predator" films & the "Alien" films, with the exception of "Reserection" which of course played like a slasher movie, this one brought back the suspense element so missing in that one, why so many trash it, I don't understand, yes, maybe it should have been longer, but it delivered the goods nonetheless, It definately can be considered a sequel to the "Predator" films & prequel to the "Alien" films, I think I have figured out why so many dislike it, my take from reading many reviews here, are the fact that many see continuity issues as their reasons for disliking it, there are maybe one or two, that I noticed, but that is it, most recent complaints are below that can be clarified such as>>>
Lance Henrickson playing Charles Weyland, Bishop's creator, this makes sense, seeing that this is the company Ripley from "Alien" worked for, & that Weyland Industries Inc. terraformed the planet Lv426 in "Aliens", & that Bishop is an android of Weyland, as for Henrickson's human appearance in "Alien 3" this could very well have been Weyland's great grandson, it is never said that Weyland didn't have offspring prior to his demise.
Many have complained that the Predators only come every 100 years, so therefore it contradicts the "Predator" films, not so, if you pay attention, the Predators come every 100 years for a rite of passage, this however doesn't mean they don't come to hunt for sport as seen in the other films, nowhere are we told the Predators are picky about their hunting climate, the Predators are hunters plain & simple, no matter what climate, hunting the aliens is a rite of passage, hunting humans for sport, there is a difference you know.
As for the aliens on earth, well Antarctica is a believable scenario, not exactly a booming town with people you know, & it sort of sets up the "Alien" films, especially when you consider the "Company's obsession with capturing a specimen even at the expense of their own employees, how did they know what it was the Nostronmo crew had, this film helps explain that a bit better, remember Ash in "Alien" was an android created by Weyland's company who protected it.
Many have complained about the inpregnation time period being short, if you remember in "Alien" Kane's inpregnation period happened awful fast too, time is never clarified in that one or this one.
Many complain about the surviving Predator teaming up with the lone human survivor as being contradictory, not so, if you remember, the Predators at the end of "Predator 2" show a mutual respect for Danny Glover's character as a show of sportsmanship for defeating one of their own, why wouldn't they here for defeating an alien?.
Many say a Pyramid in ancient times could not exist in Antacrtica because it froze before humans, how do we know? we can't, & do we really know what lays beneath Antarctica, I think not.
& the reason the aliens never make it to society on earth is simply because the Predator nukes them all, & the survivor (Sanaa Lathan) could have easily told Weyland Inc. about her experiences & they would likely keep it quiet, but yet they knew in "Alien" what the Nostronmo crew had, that is why Ash protected it even though it was killing the crew.
As for the Queen surviving in the Pyramid, remember, she was frozen, as for there being more aliens than hosts, how do we know many of them were not frozen with her 100 years ago, we don't, there is nothing to suggest otherwise.
The only place I see inconsistency that no one seems to notice is the Predator's inpregnation, the Queen throws her tail into him, this does contradict "Alien 3" when an alien refuses to kill Ripley because of her inpregnation, the Queen would not have done this, & like one reviewer noted, the arriving Predators would have inspected their fallen one before allowing it into their ship, this is the only flaw aside from the Predators being so easily defeated by the aliens, other than this, this one stays overall consistent, I just requires you to think a bit.
The Aliens and predator fighting sequences are brilliant. Everything else is...well..........2007-05-01
...crappy. Why did they even bother putting people in this movie? The script is appalling. And the dialogue is cheesy and shockingly boring. What happens to the people (being hunted down one by one by the aliens and predator) is something that we have seen a hundred times before. The lead actress (I'm determined to never learn this no talents name) is a Ripley wanna-be who despite trying to look cocky and in her element is absolutely dreadful and a complete failure.
The one redeeming part of this movie is the alien/predator fighting which, sadly, takes up only about 5 to 10 percent of the movie. Which makes me wish that this movie had taken a chance and made it JUST the aliens versus the predators on an alien planet without any humans or something like that. I wish that Hollywood would take chances rather than dishing out the same story but with different actors. They seem to think that all you have to do is to use the title of some successful franchise to sell your movie but not worry about character, dialogue, credibility, etc, something that the first two alien movies and the first predator movie had.
The Worst Romantic Comedy I Have Ever Seen.......2007-04-29
This movie tries to be loved. Maybe the Alien fans will like it. Or maybe the Predator faithfull will love it. This movie is like a marriage. At first, it looks promising. But then it goes horribly wrong. Here are the basics on this movie gone bad:
PLOT: A bunch of random people go underground for no good reason. Alien and Predator just happen to be there.
CAST: "Look out!", "Watch out!", "Lets go."
"Whats this?......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Those are all the lines in the entire movie.
Setting: Who the hell cares?
Music: Drunk dogs playing insruments.
Overall: Just a total disgrace to the Alien and the Predator names. BOB SAGET!!!!!!!!!
I don't know why everyone thought it was so bad..........2007-04-02
Sure it wasn't the best movie I've ever seen but it was a lot better than the later Alien movies or Predator 2. All in all I thought it was a good scifi movie. I know this is like the only good review on this page so I thought I would let anyone who likes the Predator or Alien series know that you just might enjoy this film.

Whoever Wins, We Lose..........2007-06-18
Finally, after 14 years of anticipation, the ultimate monster slugfest arrived for moviegoers to witness the epic battle that is "AVP: Alien Vs Predator". Fans of the two franchises thought that this movie would have arrived to theaters much sooner than it actually did, since at the end of "Predator 2", audiences got a glimpse of an alien skull in the predator's trophy case, hinting that the two races had already met in combat.

Eventually Fox found the right man to bring the two monsters together on screen, a director that has had plenty of experience with the science-fiction genre, none other than Paul Anderson (director of "Resident Evil" and "Soldier"). With the cast assembled, a talented sci-fi director behind the camera, and a story that would hopefully do justice to these two hugely popular franchises, it was time for the battle to begin.
"AVP: Alien Vs Predator" begins when a team of archaeologists are brought together by Charles Weyland (Lance Henriksen), the co-founder of the very corporation that Sigourney Weaver's character Ripley worked for in the `Alien' series, to explore an ancient temple hidden under the Antarctic.

ALIEN AND PREDATOR THE BEST OF FOES!!!.......2007-09-07
i like alien and i like predator so i didn't know who to go for, but i wanted to the see the battle. the alien franchise is good, and the predator is in my collection as well. alien is a wonderful creature, ready to kill, and in this one it's no different. predator, a great hunter, and a force not to be reckoned with. the greatest out of space rivals ever to grace the screen, came together just right. i thought this movie stood up on it's own. greatly written out, nicely done, and the two main species were absoulutly wonderful. they did what they do best, kill and fight. the way they managed for this story to include both and end up having been enemies for ages, great job. the fighting sequence is great, the actors did their thing. it should have been longer, but with this new one coming out, maybe that'll satisfy my longing for more. thanks a bunch.
Better than most say!!!.......2007-06-19
Like many, I am a fan of both the "Predator" films & the "Alien" films, with the exception of "Reserection" which of course played like a slasher movie, this one brought back the suspense element so missing in that one, why so many trash it, I don't understand, yes, maybe it should have been longer, but it delivered the goods nonetheless, It definately can be considered a sequel to the "Predator" films & prequel to the "Alien" films, I think I have figured out why so many dislike it, my take from reading many reviews here, are the fact that many see continuity issues as their reasons for disliking it, there are maybe one or two, that I noticed, but that is it, most recent complaints are below that can be clarified such as>>>
Lance Henrickson playing Charles Weyland, Bishop's creator, this makes sense, seeing that this is the company Ripley from "Alien" worked for, & that Weyland Industries Inc. terraformed the planet Lv426 in "Aliens", & that Bishop is an android of Weyland, as for Henrickson's human appearance in "Alien 3" this could very well have been Weyland's great grandson, it is never said that Weyland didn't have offspring prior to his demise.
Many have complained that the Predators only come every 100 years, so therefore it contradicts the "Predator" films, not so, if you pay attention, the Predators come every 100 years for a rite of passage, this however doesn't mean they don't come to hunt for sport as seen in the other films, nowhere are we told the Predators are picky about their hunting climate, the Predators are hunters plain & simple, no matter what climate, hunting the aliens is a rite of passage, hunting humans for sport, there is a difference you know.
As for the aliens on earth, well Antarctica is a believable scenario, not exactly a booming town with people you know, & it sort of sets up the "Alien" films, especially when you consider the "Company's obsession with capturing a specimen even at the expense of their own employees, how did they know what it was the Nostronmo crew had, this film helps explain that a bit better, remember Ash in "Alien" was an android created by Weyland's company who protected it.
Many have complained about the inpregnation time period being short, if you remember in "Alien" Kane's inpregnation period happened awful fast too, time is never clarified in that one or this one.
Many complain about the surviving Predator teaming up with the lone human survivor as being contradictory, not so, if you remember, the Predators at the end of "Predator 2" show a mutual respect for Danny Glover's character as a show of sportsmanship for defeating one of their own, why wouldn't they here for defeating an alien?.
Many say a Pyramid in ancient times could not exist in Antacrtica because it froze before humans, how do we know? we can't, & do we really know what lays beneath Antarctica, I think not.
& the reason the aliens never make it to society on earth is simply because the Predator nukes them all, & the survivor (Sanaa Lathan) could have easily told Weyland Inc. about her experiences & they would likely keep it quiet, but yet they knew in "Alien" what the Nostronmo crew had, that is why Ash protected it even though it was killing the crew.
As for the Queen surviving in the Pyramid, remember, she was frozen, as for there being more aliens than hosts, how do we know many of them were not frozen with her 100 years ago, we don't, there is nothing to suggest otherwise.
The only place I see inconsistency that no one seems to notice is the Predator's inpregnation, the Queen throws her tail into him, this does contradict "Alien 3" when an alien refuses to kill Ripley because of her inpregnation, the Queen would not have done this, & like one reviewer noted, the arriving Predators would have inspected their fallen one before allowing it into their ship, this is the only flaw aside from the Predators being so easily defeated by the aliens, other than this, this one stays overall consistent, I just requires you to think a bit.
The Aliens and predator fighting sequences are brilliant. Everything else is...well..........2007-05-01
...crappy. Why did they even bother putting people in this movie? The script is appalling. And the dialogue is cheesy and shockingly boring. What happens to the people (being hunted down one by one by the aliens and predator) is something that we have seen a hundred times before. The lead actress (I'm determined to never learn this no talents name) is a Ripley wanna-be who despite trying to look cocky and in her element is absolutely dreadful and a complete failure.
The one redeeming part of this movie is the alien/predator fighting which, sadly, takes up only about 5 to 10 percent of the movie. Which makes me wish that this movie had taken a chance and made it JUST the aliens versus the predators on an alien planet without any humans or something like that. I wish that Hollywood would take chances rather than dishing out the same story but with different actors. They seem to think that all you have to do is to use the title of some successful franchise to sell your movie but not worry about character, dialogue, credibility, etc, something that the first two alien movies and the first predator movie had.
The Worst Romantic Comedy I Have Ever Seen.......2007-04-29
This movie tries to be loved. Maybe the Alien fans will like it. Or maybe the Predator faithfull will love it. This movie is like a marriage. At first, it looks promising. But then it goes horribly wrong. Here are the basics on this movie gone bad:
PLOT: A bunch of random people go underground for no good reason. Alien and Predator just happen to be there.
CAST: "Look out!", "Watch out!", "Lets go."
"Whats this?......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Those are all the lines in the entire movie.
Setting: Who the hell cares?
Music: Drunk dogs playing insruments.
Overall: Just a total disgrace to the Alien and the Predator names. BOB SAGET!!!!!!!!!
I don't know why everyone thought it was so bad..........2007-04-02
Sure it wasn't the best movie I've ever seen but it was a lot better than the later Alien movies or Predator 2. All in all I thought it was a good scifi movie. I know this is like the only good review on this page so I thought I would let anyone who likes the Predator or Alien series know that you just might enjoy this film.

Great gift set.......2006-04-03
This set comes with a bust of an Alien and a bust of a Predator. Each is a little over three inches tall, including a half-inch base. The version of the movie included is the common widescreen edition, not the unrated version.
In conclusion, it doesn't have the most complete DVD edition, but the inclusion of not one, but two beautifully detailed busts makes it a nice addition to a sci-fi DVD collection.
