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

To ingest Alien vs. Predator on its own slimy, divertingly synthetic terms, it helps to forget everything previously known -- and loved -- about the franchise monster aliens who get star billing.

Expensive claptrap.

Make sense? No, it doesn't. But if you manage to endure the exposition, you'll get what you paid for: popping chests. Invisible stalkers.
Tim Appelo, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
Perfunctory battle sequences, cardboard characters, and uncreative scare 'ems.
