I'm such a good christian i'm going to see AVP-R tonight in a few minutes...anyone else either planning on it or has already seen it?
K, saw it. No where near as scary/spooky as the original Alien, but few can top that, aside from the occasional "jumping out of wall/behind corner" gig. It was basically just a lot of real fast aliens vs. predator vs. alien/predator hybrid mix. I liked it though, much more of an action movie. If you kinda liked the first one you'd probably like this one. The plot was decent, nothing too complicated and predictable. Oh yeah, they'll kill off anyone.
Spoiler/Long Summary:
The alien ship leaving at the end of the first AVP is seen, with predators loading up the face-suckers. The one inside the dead predator comes out and grows up, becoming the alien/predator hybrid that kills everyone on the ship. Ship turns around and crashes back into Earth, landing on Colorado. Father/son see ship crash, investigate, end up with the face-suckers on them and thus dead. All the main characters are introduced around this time, the highschooler and his girly, his ex-con brother, the sheriff, army mom and family, etc etc.
Anyway then the predator planet is shown and one of them leaves to go kill the aliens/hybrid on Earth. A man hunt starts for the father/son who are hunting/dead, where one of the cops dies. Theres a few scenes where the aliens are seen in the sewers attacking homeless people, and then all the fun starts. Basically a bunch of conflicts between all 3 of the creatures and humans for the next 40 minutes. Lots of people die, and the hybrid lays a bunch of eggs in pregnant women which hatch and make more aliens.
Theres one of those hard decision moments where the main group of people are trying to decide whether to go to the "air-lift" site or to the hospital to get a helicopter because the army-mom knows about the military. They split up and the mom and crew head to the hospital, where theres a bunch of aliens and theres some fights, etc. Few people die, yeah. Ends in a big fight between the predator and the hybrid, but the people all make it out in a helicopter. The sheriff and everyone who went to the "air-lift" get nuked. Those in the helicopter crash in the woods but are found the the military, where they take one of predator's guns that one guy had taken. It ends with a bunch of generals and this scientist bringing the gun to some lady who says its not meant for earth.
Thats about it, I liked it.
