| Re: Re: AVP: Alien vs. Predator | | Quote: Originally posted by Stinger I saw the movie now, and even though it was a rather crappy picture, I still got to enjoy it quite a lot! Most definitely going to see it on the big screen once it comes in theatres here couple of months from now. | Spoiler! | No, because the little baby Alien that came out of the Predator's chest is not a normal Alien. It's a PredAlien. PredAliens are 10 times more powerful than normal Aliens and are much harder to kill. Makes sense too, as Predators are much stronger and faster and all that good stuff than humans are also.
Just take a look at Alien 3, which features the "dog alien". It was much faster than the Aliens from the first two movies, and had a diferent style of killing as well.
However, when you put things in retrospect, what will happen on that Predator ship is pretty much the same as you saw in Alien 3, only this time with Predators instead of humans. Humans prevailed though, so I will assume the Preds will also.
The point is that not all the Aliens are destroyed, as one survived in the form of a PredAlien. That's incentive for more movies to follow, as I'm sure will happen. These two species are the best killing machines the movie industry ever came up with, aside from the Terminators. There's a lot of potential with these babies, especially the Preds, since next to AVP there have only been two Predator movies made. |
I agree that things were a little predictable, however I can't really speak on that subject, as I'm a fan and thus know everything there's about to know regarding backgrounds of both species and how they intertwine. It doesn't bother me in the least though, I loved it just as much.
Many said that this movie was gonna suck because all crossover movies suck, and they use "Freddy vs Jason" as an example. I think that this movie proved the opposite by far, since there's actually a good storyline which contains actual history between the two species. Well done I do think.
Others said that it was gonna suck cause it was based on a videogame. However, the creatures existed long before the game. *nods* The game just brought the two together. The movie didn't suffer from that either thankfully.  | Spoiler! | The only thing I don't get is that their vision masks have a sort of x-ray feature, that allows them to see right into someone's body so that they can identify the presence of an Alien infant inside. Why did they not see the presence of one inside of T-Pred's body?
Although they weren't wearing helmets there. Would still be a little careless not to check though, heh.
Or did they know there was one, but took it along anyways? You know, the greater the challenge, the more honorable the hunt? Who knows... | | | Spoiler! | But wouldn't all of those predators be able to kill that one baby PredAlien? Eh, either way, i'm definetley looking forward to part 2. Has there been any news on it, at all? It'll probably come out in 10 years or something. As for why they Preds didn't detect the PredAlien inside the Predator, it's a movie, you have to keep the suspense.  |
