Good Sci-Fi fun, though not to be taken too seriously

Rather than write a long boring review, I'll keep this short and to the point. First of all, if you're a fan of the Alien and Predator franchises, this movie may, or may not please you depending on what you expect to get out of it. It's best not to think of AVP as an extension of the Alien and Predator movies because in reality, it's in a whole 'nother genre. The classic Alien and Predator movies were pure, unadulterated horror, and action. AVP is a comic book-like, stylized, fun sci-fi flick with aliens and predators in it. It's a saturday morning cartoon made live-action for grownups, and I don't mean that in a bad way. The first time I saw it, I hated it. Second time, I thoroughly felt entertained for an hour and a half because I knew not to read too much into what I was seeing and just took everything at face value. So in short, it's a fun sci-fi flick to watch, so long as you don't take it too seriously or expect it to have the same impact of the classic Alien and Predator films. Is it worth watching? Of course! Just don't bother with the theatrical version and only watch the unrated extended cut, which is luckily included in the Blu-ray disc.
