Alien vs Predator review

Opening the same weekend as last year's Freddy vs Jason. AVP re-used the simple formula of combining two movie franchises to generate box office $$$. The plotline to interwine the two is quite far-fetched, but we are talking sci-fi here, actually b-movie sci-fi, so maybe I'm just giving it a hardtime. I liked how they explained the Predator mythology a bit more tho. Can't really complain any more cause I bought the Predator DVD which included a free admission to AVP, so it worked out to only $24 for both.

With decent action scenes, not enough use of the Predator infrared vision, and stereotypical paper-thin human characters, I could only recommend this to Alien or Predator fanboys.
