What Did You Expect Would Happen?
27 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
If the Aliens ever got loose on Earth, I fully expect them to create the exact kind of havoc and destruction that they perform here, and some of it is gruesome indeed(the hospital for instance...) so since many fans wanted to see the Aliens on Earth, filmmakers granted them their wish, and what did they get back...lots of hate! I may be one of the few that liked this second(possibly last?!) AVP film, which picks up right where the previous film ended, with the Alien infested Predator ship crashing to Earth, unleashing Alien hordes on an unsuspecting and secluded Colorado town. A veteran Predator is then dispatched to Earth to clean up the mess, and cover up their involvement.

I admit that the cast of unknowns may not grab you, but they are still reasonably interesting, and come off realistically, with elements that parallel earlier films in the series. Lots of good action, and plenty of scares, though I admit it is(literally) too dark at times, but then it is set at night in the rain! Much better than believed, and an ending that gives a nice bit of continuity for the fans...
