There are a few things that I believe the people who made this move have not done: 1. Watch any of the other “Alien” or “Predator” films (including the first “AVP” film) 2. Find out the meaning of the word ‘quality’ 3. Not realize that this is a big movie that’ll have a wider release than just the SYFY channel. I think they have not done these things and somehow this sequel is even worse than the first one.

“AVPR” takes place right after the first movie as the Predalien makes the Predators’ ship crash-land near a small, American town. A vengeful Predator goes in search of the Aliens but doesn’t prove any help to the innocent people of the town that are trying to survive the onslaught of monsters.

The people in this are so poor. Most of them are just a bunch of annoying teenagers, which makes it feel more like a slasher flick instead of a sci-fi/action film, which it should be. Many of these teens are brutally murdered by both the Aliens and the lone Predator, making it another reason why it feels like more slasher and less sci-fi/action. The Aliens look better than they did in the last film. The Predator looks a little rubbish though. The Predalien is a waste of space the amounts to virtually nothing.

This film features a lot of action and a lot of gore (two things that the first one didn’t have at all) but sadly although they’re two ingredients that I feel are essential to a crossover between the “Alien” and “Predator” franchises, the film has so many issues that it’s even worse than the original. Bad acting, a bad script, bad characters, average action scenes and no scares makes this a tedious film to watch and it feels like it was more intended for television than a theatrical release. The ending even implies a third outing. Let’s hope nobody has the ‘bright idea’ to make that picture.
