Alien vs. Predator (DVD, 2005, Widescreen)

This One Surprised Me.... I actually liked it!

Most of the Aliens & Predator movies are basically the same plot line... but this meeting of the two races in Antartica really was different!

Recommended viewing for those that have any interest in the two movie franchises!

Action Packed! This Movie keeps you in suspense the whole time! I'd watch it again.For people who love the Predator or the Alien.

I AM A "ALIENS" AND "PREDATOR" FANATIC; WHAT BETTER COMBINATION THAN TO SEE THESE 2 GOINGAT EACH OTHER ! ! !!!!!!

Two legendary characters come together in the ultimate showdown of alien species. Fans of the either series should not be disappointed. The effects have never been this good. The cast & acting is solid. There are many twists and turns that will keep you watching and surprised. Good enough for a purchase but also just a fun film to watch. Check it out!!! 4.5/5

Its a fun sci-fi movie. I wouldnt say scary but a good action movie. Instead of being set in the future its set in present day like most predator movies.

"Alien Vs Predator", "Freddy Vs Jason"...both films feature two historic icons of cinema finally being able to clash in what fanboys have salivated over for seemingly more than a decade. A decade's worth of hype will only do a film harm and set the bar so high it will never be able to please, so I attempted to rewatch "AVP" 5 years after it's birth in cinemas to give it a second chance. My initial reaction was a sourpuss, I wasn't impressed. Not angry or displeased by the film, looking back I can say I was disappointed because I expected something different. What did I, anyone, expect? I can't tell ya, but it wasn't what I got. However, after tonight's viewing I can truthfully say I did enjoy it much more than at 17.

As I do recall the consensus for "AVP" at it's release was high and low disappointment. On a technical level this film is top of the line. Paul WS Anderson always had made films visually and technically top notch with impressive sets and CGI abound, but I've always felt his style of film is like a lollipop that is sweet, and takes 90 minutes to finish but the minute you are done no satisfaction whatsoever was obtained. And sadly that sense of hollowness can still be found, and while he has matured greatly as a filmmaker, if he wishes to make more than disposable eye candy he'll have to progress even further. While the cast is relative of unknowns, that shouldn't be complained on because what purpose is wasted talent when 95% of them will have no more than a few lines of dialogue before the slaughter begins? It was nice having a continuity through Lance Henrickson, and he even nods back to his "Bishop" role in a "blink or miss it" scene of him doing his hand and knife trick on his desk. Lance always stands out in any film he graces himself in and it is a pleasure to have him here.

Those in the Alien and Predator mythos might find a lot of implausibilities in the respective arcs of their stories, strengths, and weaknesses. Anyone whose seen the Predator and Alien franchises, I think, will agree that if a xenomorph were to combat a "Predator" the battle would be pretty one sided in that the "Predator" would slaughter that frail, spineless ballet monster in short time. So when you see a xenomorph hold his own and even devour a "Predator", it can quickly turns fans off. But, then we wouldn't have a suspenseful story if it were so one sided, right?

"AVP" doesn't give much to the existing franchise, and thankfully it doesn't really conflict with anything established, so it is able to operate with it's own artistic freedom. And for that it does well. It's face paced. Certainly entertains. And there is a lot of action and that won't disappoint. It doesn't fit the Alien or Predator franchises too well, it doesn't feel like it belongs, but in the world it plays it does it's job fine and I think people can appreciate it more now than back then when the cinematic crust was still cooling and expectations reached the moon.

If you haven't seen it before, I can recomend it. If you've seen it sometime back and were disappointed, perhaps another viewing is in store and I did, you might find your tune changed a bit. It's eye candy in the first degree, and as always, there is nothing wrong with that. Be sure to check out the far superior sequel.

A really well-done sequel to two great movies. That doesn't happen often! It's one you'll watch again and again.

This movie took 2 of my favorite screenplays and combined them with excellent special effects, great story line and edge of your seat performance. and don't miss the sequel. five stars plus some...

Packaged very well, easy to communicate. Great ebayer, description was correct and will be a return shopper. Thanks for the dvd, runs great,Hope to buy from ya again soon.

I liked to see what the movie was about. To also see how the movie has stayed with the original movie theme. Many people were killed, from the beginning to the end, so it was interesting to try to figure out who would survive it all the way to the ending. HL

quick service and excellent product.....................................................................................................................................................

I bought this because it was as cheap as renting it and i get to keep it. I wanted to see this dvd. There is nothing i dislike about this item. This is where i will buy my DVD's instead of renting them

great movie 4 horror buffs and i like aliens and predators it has a lot of action in movie and overall it was good

i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie this is my 2nd copy since my son traded off the first one. This a AWSOME movie.

This is a great movie in the Alien and Predator tradition. I decided to buy it for the price offered.

I bought this movie for my grandfather. I just find out that he has 5 tumors (one in his liver, 3 on one lung, and 1 on his colon) that are all cancerous. They are to big to try to remove, so he will be going through Kemo to try to shrink them, so they can try to remove them. He told me that this was a movie that he would like to see, so my first thought to try to find it, just like everything else I buy, was ebay. And of course it was here. New and Used. I bought the used version, and it was in excellent shape. He told me that he watched the movie and it played perfect. Ebay has never let me down and I am so addicted. I love this place! Thanks for making it a great experience!

AWESOME PRICE FOR A DVD AND THE MOVIE IS SIMPLY AWESOME THE PREDATOR IS THE BEST. THE DVD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

Scientists detect strange activity in the South Pole. Hey wait, how did somebody build a pyramid down there? Our heroes get there and.....Oops, it's a trap. Humans are only there for something for the aliens to eat or maim or grow new babies in. The question is, which aliens do you root for, the Hunters or the hunted. You decide. One Crusty lady decides to side with the hunters and makes a new friend. Mostly taken from the long running comic book series from Dark Horse Comics, Alien vs Predator is action packed adventure. Probably a bit too extreme for the kids.

I loved the earlier movies for both and wanted to see this one desperately. I like Sanaa Lahan and Lance Hendricksen.

Very good Special Effects and left you on "the edge of the seat". All Alien and Predator fans will enjoy this movie again and again.

Overall I liked the movie!
A and P fans should enjoy!
I gave only good rating because I do think it had a few flaws in the story but the SFX helped out!Whalers camp lost and forgotten long time ago but no Ebay scavengers to sell the antiques!Oh well it was good for me though!

Good movie, have all the ones before it. I'm building up my DVD library, as I already have a huge VHS one. Price was good.

I bought this item as a Christmas present for my boyfriend. I have also purchased all of the other titles in this series on eBay and from other sources. I haven't watched it but I am sure he will love the collection. I loved buying it because it was cheap and easy to get!
