Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn one of the movie's behind-the-scenes featurettes, director of photography Daniel Pearl stated that he wanted to visually differentiate this movie from its predecessor Alien vs. Predator (2004), which he criticized for its use of fixed cameras, wide shots and excessively bright lighting, because in his opinion, this revealed way too much of the creatures. Reasoning that monster horror works better in dark environments with documentary-style photography, Pearl employed hand-held cameras and dimly illuminated sets to get the desired effect. Ironically, the film would later be criticized mostly for its overuse of 'shaky cam' and excessively murky lighting, with people complaining that they couldn't see much of the action.
- GoofsThere is no reason given why the main characters are not able to escape by driving away from the town.
- Crazy creditsThe opening title card features many sound effects from the previous movies, such as motion tracker beeps from Aliens, and the Predator POV humming.
- ConnectionsEdited into Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Featured review
Shame on you Walter Hill !!
I can't blame the Strause Brothers for everything, because first of all it is the guilt of Walter Hill and the other Producers who have decided for this guys. It's unbelievable that all of this current Producers of AVPR also once were involved in the original Alien and Predator Movies!
When i heard that two sfx-artists will direct the second part, it was clear that this is getting even worse than the first AVP. It seems that they learned nothing about the mistakes from the past. There are a few sad examples of earlier special-effects people who also thought they can bring it as a director:
Spawn by Mark Dippé, Starship Troopers 2 by Phil Tippett, The Fly II by Chris Walas and some other more.
Maybe next time, in 5 or 6 years, when it's all water under the bridge, they choose a really talented director, who makes a totally new beginning of it all with a higher budget of 150 million dollars, a fascinating script and some really strong actors.
I want a huge difference between the movies like it was between Batman & Robin and Batman Begins!
