Critics Consensus

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

Jessica Winter Time Out The title alone betrays an entire Hollywood mindset of rehash, reheat, recombine. Re-please. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Empire Magazine Sadly devoid of any real thrills. Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Unsurprisingly mediocre. Rated: C May 3, 2005 Full Review Alan French 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 Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Casey Chong 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. Rated: 2/5 Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review This movie isn’t scary or particularly thrilling. Rated: 0.5/4 Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Professional D It is scary but I like this film . Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Whippet C 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Haj U 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review CDM W Excellent world building, fun for the whole family. I watch this movie every time I have a birthday. I love predators. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Paola E una historia simplemente inceible pero un poco predesible Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
