[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 1708073, member: 3570"] I give it a 7. I almost had to be dragged to this movie opening night by my friends after the initial reviews came out, but I'm glad I went. Not a great film, but WAAAY better than I thought it would be. Definitely Paul Anderson's best work (not that that's saying much.) I was disappointed that 17 year old Stan Winston Predator make-up absolutely *blew away* the look of the new Predators, but the Aliens more than make up for it. They're absolutely stunning! After seeing the horrible foray into CGI in Alien: Resurrection I assumed we'd see more of the same. But the way the aliens behaved and moved was some of the most thrilling yet. Highlights of the film include: [spoiler]A single alien taking out two of the three Predators right off the bat in a fantastic opening slugfest[/spoiler], [spoiler]Cool new cloaking Predator effects like the blood dripping off the cloaked claws and the Predator who leaps across the hall as a hail of gunfire bounces off his armor and causes his cloak to zap and sparkle[/spoiler], and, without question: [spoiler]the T-Rex sized Queen![/spoiler] She was badass! [spoiler]I can't believe its taken 18 years for anyone to revisit the Alien Queen on screen (the stupid birthing scene in A: Resurrection doesn't count and oh what leaps in CGI technology will accomplish! It was a fanboy's dream to see her charging around with her warriors flanking her feet and then later thrashing the rib cage of the whale and the buildings above.[/spoiler] Negatives include: Poor Predator make-up, strangely bulky Predator armor that made their arms look funny and too short, two distracting bullet-time effects, not enough compelling characters and sufficient scenes to make you care about them before they die. I think they did well for a PG-13 rating, but for those who complain its not like it isn't pretty much a guarantee that the DVD will have an R or unrated edition. I don't know how "good" this movie was, but it was hella "fun" in enough places that I was very well entertained. Looking forward to picking up the DVD. [/QUOTE]
