Critics Consensus

Gore without scares and cardboard cut-out characters make this clash of the monsters a dull sit.

Time Out

The title alone betrays an entire Hollywood mindset of rehash, reheat, recombine. Re-please.

Sunshine State Cineplex

While Paul W.S. Anderson arrived with blockbuster experience in his background, Alien vs. Predator quickly felt outside his comfort zone. The resulting flick has moments of joy, but feels like a lesser entry for both franchises.

Rated: 3/10

Casey's Movie Mania

It was mindless fun watching the two iconic monsters fighting against each other but the problem is, the movie spends considerable time focusing on the human characters.

This was a cool movie, seeing two different franchises come together. The fighting between the Aliens and Predators was cool to see. I wish they didn’t focus as much on the humans, because I feel like that took away from actual main characters (the aliens and the predators). Overall a good way to expand both franchises.

The human team up and honour from the predator chieftain is absolutely epic. All who give this bad reviews obviously have no idea what good movies are.

Witching 20 years later, even though a dissapoinent last time, it has aged well, and is better than Alien Romulus, and many so xalled SF horror movies eg Venom 2, 3 etc. Good plot and tense enough. If seen as a graphic novel version of the story, it's good fun with some original ideas.

Fun movie, was not bored at all. Not scary, but I thought it did the xenomorphs and predators justice.
