Alien versus Predator (AVP) is a BFZ (big fat zero) plot movie. The whole movie can be dissected in a couple of sentences. Predator hunts rapidly reproducing aliens and where he does that? On earth, where else? Poor humans caught in the crossfight and had to sacrifice a townful worth of innocent people. Human retaliate by using some powerful town-wiping arsenal. Story ends.
As it is, it is extremely difficult to distinguish which is which in darkness because both the aliens and the predator are black! To add on to the difficulty, half the movie is in darkness and the other half filled with irritating background sound. Conveniently, they fought each other at a power station and blacked out the town. Conveniently, it was sundown when the predator decided to hunt for the aliens. More conveniently, it had to rain just to make things a little messier.
Visually challenged audiences like myself had to squint to differentiate them. They should have put colored armbands on each of the species, and preferably luminous ones!
Extremely lousy movie with a lot of senseless burgeoning! Take away the huge spending on the actors and effects, the movie is nothing but just a predator with lots of 'ctrl c', 'ctrl v' aliens. Haiz...what rubbish...
