Thousands of years ago, huntsmen (the predators) found planet earth. While there, they trained humans to build and were reverenced as Gods. Every century, these "Gods" would go back to Earth, and when they did, they expected a sacrifice. Humans were used as livestock to breed the vital prey (the aliens). The predators would now combat the prey to establish themselves creditable or to "carry the mark" of becoming adults. If the huntsmen (the predators) find themselves losing the battle, they would then self destruct in order to make sure that nothing survives. Billionaire Weyland thinks that he has exposed the remains of an early pyramid temple, that is a cross between the Egyptian and Aztec pyramids. It was hidden under the ice of Bouvetøya Island in the Antarctic Ocean. Now, what industrialist Charles Weyland and his comprised team of engineers and scientists didn't know was that the predators have set a trap for them. They have lured them to this remote location using a heat beam picked up by Weyland's satellite. This was done to make sure that the aliens had hosts to breed in. As the humans battle both predators and aliens, predators and aliens also have a battle of the species which will leave only one race standing. Since the beginning of time, the Predators, the feared, hulking alien game hunters, have come to Earth for one simple reason: to engage in a coming of age ritual. To become "men," the teenage Predators have to hunt down a hive of Alien warriors and successfully defeat them and claim the skull as its trophy. However, during one hunting session, the easily aggravated Aliens fight back, leading to the destruction of the two species and the Aztec people who worshiped the Predators as Gods. Nearly two thousand years later, billionaire industrialist Charles Bishop Weyland rediscovers the pyramid, buried thousands of feet under the ice of Antarctica, with his satellites. Knowing that he has discovered something important, Weyland fixes up a team, led by Lex Woods, and heads down to the Antarctic to find the pyramid. But once they get there, the enslaved Queen Alien awakens from her sleep, which results in the production of new eggs and Facehuggers. And to make matters worse, the new hunting clan of teenage Predators, led by the brash and violent Celtic, have arrived, ready to hunt down both the Aliens and the humans within… AvP is the single worst film I've ever seen. And I've seen the Rugrats Movie. Starts off OK. I forgave the rampant Jurassic Park theft, giggled at Bishop doing the knife trick.<br/><br/>Then they did it. They bullet timed the Face Huggers. All downhill from there.<br/><br/>From the theory of the Pyramid changing configuration every 10 minutes (because some ancient civilisation had a "metric" calendar. Not decimal, like you thought), it works out that a face hugger can implant a chest burster, which can then gestate and burst within 20 minutes. And then grows into a full size dog alien within another 10. Jeez, with a growth rate like that they should have been dying of old age by the end of the movie.<br/><br/>They managed to do the impossible and somehow make the aliens not scary. The puppet queen from Aliens looked more believable than AvP's CGI effort, and the Predators look remarkably like Rastafarian Robocop with the masks on and Doctor Freaking Zoidberg with the masks off.<br/><br/>Then there's the whole bit with Nu-Ripley befriending a Predator (um, no…) and for no adequately explained reason walking around for the rest of the movie with what can only be described as an alien glove puppet on her arm. I almost expected an Eric Morcambe style "What do you think of it so far?" moment.<br/><br/>The only thing that could have redeemed this movie would have been if in the bit where the Predator takes his mask off at the end, the music had swelled and he and Nu-Ripley had fallen into some kind of weird Captain Kirk kiss (I could have sworn that was where they were going with that scene.<br/><br/>Sorry to go on about it, but never has a film made me genuinely angry. There will be no more Alien movies. Even if there are more AvP movies, Avp has made enough money no doubt to keep them as shoddy as this one. Now I understand how people felt about The Phantom Menace.<br/><br/>I think the time has come for Fan Film-makers to hijack the franchise. I have no doubt that that "Batman vs Alien vs Predator" mini movie was single handedly responsible for getting Batman Begins made. Someone needs to show Fox that CGI and MTV camera work do not a good movie make and that the Alien franchise deserves a decent director (and an R rating). Any takers? Alien vs Predator is a film that isn't as bad as many people make it out to be. It isn't a great film by any stretch but bringing the Alien and Predator together on-screen isn't exactly an easy task, especially with 20th Century Fox pulling the strings. Paul W. Anderson seemed to impress them well enough with his concept and this is what Fox whipped up.<br/><br/>The basic premise of the film goes against continuity set in the Alien films by placing Aliens on present day Earth. They manage to get away with it however by setting the film in the remote region of Antarctica and keeping the Aliens beneath the surface. The setting is something I found to be fantastic about this film. I enjoyed the Arctic Whaling Station as well as the Pyramid beneath the ice. I wish more time was spent both on the surface and in the Pyramid to build up the atmosphere and tension of the film. The setting of the Pyramid was brilliant but it really wasn't used to it's full potential. Of course the reality of discovering a Pyramid so far beneath the ice is a stretch but we'll ignore that for now. If more time could have been used to create a sense of fear when wandering through the Pyramid, especially once separated from each other, the quality of the film could have been greatly improved. <br/><br/>As for the characters themselves… they were decent. I didn't hate any of them and some attempts at characterization where made but ultimately it feels as if they are rushed and just shoved upon us. I guess the trouble is that none of them are really that interesting and whether they live or die is of little consequence to us. Lance was definitely a welcomed addition to the cast, even if it goes against Alien continuity if you consider Bishop in Alien 3 to be human – this being the popular consensus.<br/><br/>Of course the real reason everyone wanted to see this film is because of the title creatures. While they are portrayed well enough although many issues are to be had with both. The Predators were not the Predators we had become accustomed to in the first two Predator films. They are bulkier and certainly aren't as wise as we have seen in the past. The wrist blades also appear different and perhaps the most notable change is the Thermal Vision. Many people feel the alteration of the Predators vision style severely hurt the quality of the film but it is never something that really bothered me. It was used well and the "Alien" vision mode the Predators had looked great. My only real issues was their wrist blades – I don't really mind the change of look but if your hunting a species with acid for blood shouldn't your primary weapon be more potent against them?<br/><br/>The Aliens, especially the Grid, were portrayed well although in behavior they seemed to shift between clever and mindless beasts throughout the film. The costume designs really aren't the greatest (they are the same suits as A: R with a black coat of paint) and the CGI appeared quite bad in certain parts. The Alien Queen however was fantastic and contributed to many great shots and moments in this film. <br/><br/>The name of this film however is "AVP" and that is one of the big let downs in this movie. There really weren't many scenes of Aliens fighting Predators. There was one major clash but not much beyond that. People who go to see a film titled Alien vs Predator expect to see lots of clashes between the two. The level of gore in this film is another reason it often faces criticism from series fans. I however don't think it is needed for there to be buckets of blood to make a good film. The PG-13 rating takes nothing away from this film what so ever. More Predator and Alien blood would have been welcome of course.<br/><br/>In conclusion this is an adequate film that would be greatly helped if fleshed out by 10-15 minutes of tension building scenes. Some people will argue it needs much more than that but I truly believe a few more quality scenes would help improve this film. The film really does start out with a lot of promise. It really does a fairly nice job of building up excitement yet unfortunately fails to deliver in the second half. More screen time for the title characters and certainly more duels would have made this film stand out a lot more. Once great element of the film is the cinematography as there are many beautiful shots in this film, especially on the Predator ship and within the Pyramid itself. The potential for this was great and the end result is all right but it could have been much more. It’s often hard to figure out who’s winning, much less care about it. One thing is certain: Nobody is going to be demanding a rematch. The Queen's goal in life is simple: lay eggs, gather hosts, make more aliens; not mate, feed, kill, repeat. The reason the Alien in Alien 3 kept killing everyone was that they were all a threat to it. a5c7b9f00b Game Over, Man! full movie in hindi free download hd 1080pBefore You Were Born movie in hindi dubbed downloadBattlefield!!
