Trivia:
Although the original cut runs 100 minutes, 12 of those minutes are credits. more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When the expedition first reaches the hidden pyramid, one of the characters examines the wall markings after rubbing away the cobwebs from the stone. Are there any spiders that thrive 2000 feet below sea level in Antarctica? Spiders and other arachnids have been known to survive in extremely hostile environments, including at high altitudes, in climates of intense cold and where food supply appears to be scarce. The climate inside the pyramid was warm enough that the humans' breath did not condense. Other survival factors may have been present. Also, the material may have not been spider webs, but strings of dust and particles accumulated over time. more

A guilty pleasure, 26 June 2007
Author: DVD_Connoisseur from England

I know I'm in the minority when I say, "I really enjoyed 'Alien vs. Predator'". While skimpy in plot, Paul Anderson's movie looks every penny of its multi-million budget, there are many nods to the two franchises and the cast look great.

Sanaa Lathan is a beautiful and convincing action heroine and the various action set-pieces are impressive to watch.

The special effects are top notch and both Alien and Predator fans should be happy with the way the characters are portrayed on the screen.

With an impressive soundtrack to boot, this remains a guilty pleasure. Roll on a second "AVP"...
