Dreadful

Considering I have enjoyed most of the previous alien and predator films (including the original "Alien" and the first "Alien Vs Predator") I was looking forward to seeing this one. However, I was greatly disappointed.

This film is possibly one the most appalling I have seen in my entire life. It was so predictable that you could foresee the outcome of the movie by the end of the first 10 minutes. There was absolutely no point in the film where I was unsure of what was going to happen next, the suspense was pointless. In fact the film actually had me laughing at points because of the abysmal acting and lack of intelligence that the characters possessed. By far the most awful film out currently and, in my opinion, one of the worst I have ever seen, and I have seen many good and bad films!

I suggest you save your money.
