Review:
It's a little ironic that the first AvP felt like a hybrid of an Alien and a Predator movie and AvP:R features a hybrid Alien/Predator but feels like a generic alien (lowercase "a") invasion movie. I didn't hate everything about AvP, but it did have little flairs of what I liked about the Alien series and the Predator series. AvP:R stars the titular beasts of both series, but at no point did I ever catch a glimpse of what I liked about either series. Everything was very cliche and predictable, I couldn't possibly care about the characters any less, and any flying vehicle or vessel or any kind looks absolutely terrible. I wasn't ever bored, but the plot just doesn't make sense and I was more than ready for it to be over at all times. I did like some of the gorier shots and the knock-off some people I didn't expect them to, but none of it would entice me enough to watch it again. The Alien and Predator series both act like these movies don't exist and it wouldn't be a bad decision if you did too.
