And now I have officially seen Alien Versus Predator.

I'm disappointed. Very little suspense, wooden acting (blessedly those folk were the first to go to the great pyramid in the sky), and plot holes you could build shopping malls in.

Maybe I was expecting too much. Having read several of the discarded scripts, and actually -liking- two of them, it was a natural assumption that the one that was chosen would be visual dynamite.

No such luck. *shrug* Ah well.

I should've warned you about AvP. It's only good for laughing at.

I guess my problem is that I expected something on par with at /least/ Alien: Resurrection or Alien³... hopefully better. The scripts that were rejected were infinitely superior, and avoided the messiness of trying to make it fit into known history. I will admit that I was cheering for old man Weyland when he whipped out inhaler and flare. Inevitably useless bravado, but it was nice to see the old boy go out with a bang.

And I STILL don't like the hybrid-to-host concept of the xenomorph's evolution.

Hybrid-to-host?

Oh, and I thought it /was/ on a par with Alien: Resurrection. I didn't think much of that film.
