There are two words/phrases that will help you understand the essence of this film: action-packed and hilarious. What do you get when dozens of people (including infants) are murderously killed by drooling aliens with an undeterminable number of tentacles? AVP2 baby!
If there is a point to this film it is to entice red-blooded males into spending their money at the Dolby surround sound house of fun (AMC, Regal, Cinemark, etc). However, there is one significant catch: Your date will not go with you so start calling the boys or expect to watch Hillary Swank on screen instead. What are you willing to give or do for your significant other just to watch murderous mayhem on the big screen? Feel free to e-mail me the answer at jon@screenspotlight.com, I could use a good laugh!Alien is adorned in body armor and a classical set of jagged, razor sharp teeth. He may wish to have his salivary glands checked at the local ENT doctor’s office. For his part, Alien is a professional breeder and will lovingly murder everyone in sight in order to provide a safer and loving environment for its numerous demon spawn. Predator looks eerily similar to the vampires whose cheeks spread open widely in Blade II, the last decent installment of the series. The entire point of Predator’s existence seems to be the execution of Alien, and perhaps a few hundred innocent victims in case the cameras are rolling.
Overall, expect to be entertained, anticipate many raucous but inexplicable laughs, and try to focus on the bright lights deliberately spliced in by the Strause brothers to ensure you will not fall asleep due to the lack of any compelling character development.
