AVP: Alien vs. Predator

(Paul W.S. Anderson/2004/USA) 

On the one hand this smacks of a cynical exercise in franchising (hey no shit!) and on the other it could be the perfect mash up of two of the most compelling sci-fi monsters from the 80’s. In reality it’s a bit of both, I parked my eye rolling and enjoyed it for the silliness it is. In fairness Anderson pulls off a decent action flick that doesn’t stray too much into either cheap pay offs or taking itself too seriously. It doesn’t tax the brain too much so I won’t tax yours with any further discussion, it’s a gum chewer.

(2.5/5)
