Különös építményre bukkannak az Antarktisz jege alatt. A milliárdos gyáros, Charles Bishop Weyland vezetésével tudósokból és szakértőkből álló csapat indul a jégréteg alatt rejtőző ősi piramis felderítésére. Az izgalmasnak tűnő kaland azonban borzalmas versenyfutássá alakul, amikor kiderül, hogy a piramis két földönkívüli faj összecsapásának évezredes színtere. A Ragadozók bizarr beavatási ceremóniájában az Alien-ivadékok a zsákmány, míg az emberek az Alienek kifejlődéséhez szükséges elemózsia szerepét töltik be. A fajok háborújában így az ember csak vesztes lehet. (Mozi+)

Meglepően jól forgatott film, szép trükkökkel, dinamikus vágással és lendületes akcióval. Csak a Ragadozó vs. Halál első csatája volt áttekinthetetlen, de mégis tinédzseres elragadtatást váltott ki belőlem. Ami azonban a filmet átlagos szintre húzza le, az a HIHETETLENÜL idióta forgatókönyv. Hogy Paul W.S. Anderson csak lop, nem is lenne annyira nagy baj, de hogy a lopottakat következetlen ragasztóval ragasztja össze, hát az nem semmi. Egy jobb forgatókönyvvel és hosszabb játékidővel ez nagyszerű szórakozás lehetett volna. Ui. Engem egy kicsit zavart az idegen faj általános "megalázása". Én személy szerint jobban tisztelem őket, mint a nehézkes Ragadozókat.

To embrace Anderson's latest film is, figuratively speaking, not to put your hand in the popcorn, but to go straight into it with your whole body. Even then, AvP is hard to accept. That said, technically there is not much to complain about, the effects are fine, the animatronic models of the aliens are really good, and the film has a brisk pace. But a rather fundamental problem is the absence of two important ingredients in a movie, there’s hardly any atmosphere and suspense. And the script? Everything follows tried and tested templates, without any surprises, and a plot that is transparent and predictable. Anderson's basic idea of the story makes sense, but it's rather dumbed down. Besides, what must McTiernan have thought when he saw that his formerly uncompromising hunter had become a damsel in distress? Please don't do that. The 2 stars are too much, taking into account the fact that I don't like crossovers, and their cold financial cynicism. Now I'm just waiting for someone to come up with a Red Riding Hood vs. Batman movie. That would be awesome!

Ugly and uglier, as one of my friends aptly proclaimed. And in the midst of the ugly, a group of more or less handsome humanoids are desperately trying to survive... Paul W. S. Anderson filmed a very grateful theme, but instead of an atmospheric mix of claustrophobic tension and dynamic action, as offered by the computer game of the same name, an initially thrilling, then extraordinarily predictable murder story with an emancipated heroine and a ridiculous story emerged from it all. Unfortunately, the heroine isn’t anywhere near as good as Ripley, and her survival journey is full of pretty nice action sequences, but she lacks suspense and the ability to grab the viewer’s attention. It’s too bad, because the introduction to the film is quite promising, but then, unfortunately, the tension disappears in the regiments of quite-visible monsters. Anderson just shot a B-movie with average A-movie effects. A pleasantly-killed hour and a half, but the film’s credit does not increase in any way with the ugly (Predators) and the uglier (Aliens), quite the opposite. AvP is just a parasite... 50%

For a horror movie it lacks even the slightest hint of atmosphere and, for an adaptation of an action game (or a comic book), it’s lacks action. Perhaps only the makeup deserves praise. A boring and uninteresting B-movie that you can see hundreds of on the shelves of video rental stores. Anderson was able to dishonor two legends in one film, so hopefully some skillful predator will find him and exact personal satisfaction for defamation.

Alien is downgraded to a drooling game of hopscotch, leaving the remnants of its sophistication in the original tetralogy – and for that alone, Paul W.S. Anderson has failed me again this time. While it's more boredom than a major annoyance that the unappealing main characters have to spend time acquainting themselves with the chilling environment and themselves. But when the alien newborn hatches a few minutes after meeting the facehugger, the queen agilely scampers around, and the predator senselessly respects the insignificant human, I wearily bury my head in my hands and give up. Shameful.

From a screenwriting perspective, it's practically about nothing, but once the film transitions into the second half, it is worth watching. The action scenes are brilliant, and the sparse use of digital shots is definitely a good thing.

The 1970s and 1980s saw two famous monsters – the Alien and the Predator – and it was only a matter of time before they would meet together on the big screen. Alien and Aliens and the first Predator are classics of their genre, but the same cannot be said for their first crossover. While Alien vs. Predator offers superior visual effects (considering the time it was made), it falls noticeably short on the story level and in building the oppressive atmosphere that was so impressive in the first two Alien installments in particular. It terms of screenwriting, this is a weaker film, which is why it prefers to rely on action scenes and the presence of scares, which it mostly succeeds in doing. Personally, I didn't mind the fact that the Aliens were portrayed as the villains, because while they are no worse than the Predators, they are still more sneaky, and therefore more suited to that position. If you turn off your brain for an hour and a half, Alien vs. Predator isn't all that bad a movie. P.S. A small ("insignificant") plus for the open ending!

Oww. Utter idiocy and Anderson's unintentional handbook for "How to not make a great movie, or any movie at all". Anderson takes two of the MOST BRUTAL sci-fi creatures and throws them into a PG-13, places the story on the ground, which matters not one bit because the whole thing takes place in the parrot-eyed bowels of some kind of pyramid, and throws in a hodgepodge of characters so stupid and unsympathetic as fodder that you struggle to identify with at least a nearby piece of ice. To find so much as a relationship with even one of them is a task for the greatest masters of empathy, because when they're not commenting on what we're seeing, they're analyzing facts at the level of elementary school children (first grade). The relationship between them is always implied with one shot of about a second and that's the end of it. Another certainly calculated move was to pick from these maximally murderable characters the absolute most nerve-crawling and make her the protagonist and the predator her pet. Then we can indulge ourselves solely on the action, and there are two action scenes... one of them an absolute mockery of the aliens as creatures and isn't worth much, and the other one with the mother of the aliens is actually pretty good (that's probably the one star). All in all, AVP is a terrible B-movie, unlike the decent second installment, but it makes itself out to be a big-budget film and I won't forgive it for that. Dreck shit crap evil. PS: The film contains an incredibly funny scene where a pyramid hologram appears in front of everyone in the briefing room and Weyland says: "Our leading experts have learned that it's shaped like a pyramid." Why didn't any 14-year-old boy get a job on the script…

Paul W. S. Anderson made another one of his classics, which doesn't fundamentally deviate from his abilities. It's such a shame that the story is incredibly banal because otherwise, it’s too long. It needed more thought, then one wouldn't just appreciate the great masks. This film just shows that in the new millennium, Aliens and Predators don’t have much of a place.
