Adrian Martin Film Critic: Adrian Martin Jul 30, 2025 2.5/5

Any aura of artistic quality that may have once surrounded the original films has well and truly vanished; director Paul W. S. Anderson follows the Roger Corman style: keep it fast, dark and full of gratuitous shocks.

While Paul W.S. Anderson arrived with blockbuster experience in his background, Alien vs. Predator quickly felt outside his comfort zone. The resulting flick has moments of joy, but feels like a lesser entry for both franchises.

It was mindless fun watching the two iconic monsters fighting against each other but the problem is, the movie spends considerable time focusing on the human characters.

If, on the other hand, you come looking for two iconic sci-fihorror icons going at it like Godzilla and King Ghidorah at Wrestlemania, then Alien vs Predator is absolutely the movie for you.

Makes a mockery of the intense and ruthless sci-fi creations defined in the previous, highly successful productions.

Alien vs. Predator is one of the select, refreshing few horror films to star a black woman.

Poorly scripted, poorly directed, poorly cut, poorly cast. The key to Alien Vs. Predator - survival of the fittest. ... The only battle to survive here is the one to stay in your seat until the film's end.

Even at its most over-the-top (our heroine's climactic team-up with the Predator), it's still just so deliriously entertaining that it can't be dismissed.

Though surprisingly well-made, AvP takes far too long to arrive at the shlock-filled showdown everyone came to see.

The best-case scenario for this project was that it be spectacularly stupid in a vigorously colorful way.

It's bad. But not merely bad, worse than that, it's disrespectful: to its audience, to its source material, and to the craft of movie making.

Lance Henriksen, Raoul Bouva and Ewen Bremner are tragically underused due to their characters being cliched and forgettable.
