I know that people here are expecting Alien Vs Predator to be awful
but I'm still hopeful that it will be ok. Especially after seeing
these clips.

My friend works at Fox and got an advance screening, he was very
disappointed as were a lot of other people he works with.

Did he tell you how they handled the human deaths? (visually) or was it just
some dodgy cop out (i.e no one actually got killed)

as a rather sad Sci Fi lover I find that trailer (from the main web site)
really rather cool. Should test out the HC setup quite nicely. The trick
is to take your brain out for 1.5 hours :-)

PG-13 rating in the states (prob 12A here). Not looking good.

You'd think they'd know better than to hire Anderson to direct, if
they don't want to be disappointed. It's as though they prefer to hire
a cheap director who they know will make a movie that sucks but may
get its money back, rather than take a risk hiring a first-timer who
might make a good movie but might, in the worst case, make another
'Thunderbirds'.

Arrrgh, I hate that so much. Alien and Predator are both meant to be
nothing less than 18. It's not supposed to be for kids, FFS! Sad to see
an amazing opportunity squandered just for the sake of getting schoolkids
bums on seats. :o(

It should be an 18!

If only for the fact of seeing either a alien burst out of someone's chest
or the image of the alien alone.

What happened to good old violent 18 films? at least they usually have more
realism to them.

Can't stand the 12A rating.

Yeah he said for the most part whenever humans are being killed the scenes
are in darkness with flashes of the Predators and close of of someone
screaming but no actual violence on screen, just use of imagination. He did
say that as a Predator fan just seeing them again and hear the famous
Predator cackle was cool, plus some Predator takes on a few hundred Aliens,
which he also said was quite impressive.

Its as if there is a curse on the Alien and Predator film lines.
I so want this to be good, but Anderson! I still have not forgiven him
for "Event Horizon."
The same thing happened with the classic universal horror films.
Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein and the Wolfman all
Classics. The rest, Frankenstein meets the wolfman, Ghost of
Frankenstein etc.- dumb and clunking b movies made without whit, - Paul

Soldier and Resident Evil must have been like salt in the wound then ;-)
