Product Description:
Two lethal creatures, the alien and the predator, use the Earth as a battleground.
Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 2-AUG-2006
Media Type: DVD
Amazon.com:
In delivering PG-13-rated excitement, Alien vs. Predator is an acceptably average science-fiction action thriller with some noteworthy highlights, even if it squanders its opportunity to intelligently combine two popular and R-rated franchises. Rabid fans can justifiably ask "Is that all there is?" after a decade of development hell and eager anticipation, but we're compensated by reasonably logical connections to the Alien legacy and the still-kicking Predator franchise (which hinted at AVP rivalry at the end of Predator 2); some cleverly claustrophobic sets, tense atmosphere and impressive digital effects; and a climactic AVP smackdown that's not half bad. This disposable junk should've been better, but nobody who's seen Mortal Kombat or Resident Evil should be surprised by writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson's lack of imagination. As a brisk, 90-minute exercise in generic thrills, however, Anderson's work is occasionally impressive... right up to his shameless opening for yet another sequel. --Jeff Shannon

My DVD of this film is stated to be 108 minutes in duration. This Blu-ray release is stated to be 101 minutes long.If these are accurate, what a rip-off!

- Friday night entertainment, but not REALLY an Alien movie
Like most people, I always liked the Alien movies. In fact, the original Alien movie is probably the only horror movie that really scared the living day lights out of me! Even when I saw it a second time (with annoying commercial breaks), it still scared me. Later, I learned that the alien monster or "xenomorph" was originally designed by a Swiss surrealist painter with an interest in psychoanalysis, H.R. Giger. Perhaps that's why the monster is so scary. Clearly, Giger and the rest of the production ... Read More
Rating: - Blu-Ray of AVP DOES have the unrated cut.
Blu Ray review:
The Biggest thing about this BD of AVP that is consistently not mentioned is that the BD contains BOTH the PG-13 theatrical cut AND the unrated directors cut of the film. Amazon only lists the disc as the PG-13 version, and even an external BD review site failed to mention the inclusion of the unrated cut. So if you've wanted to get AVP on BD and haven't due to a lack of the unrated cut, fear not, it's on the disc.
Video quality is good. It's not the best picture ... Read More

- Love those Aliens!!!!!!!!!
I was a little leery when this movie came out, but being a great fan of the Alien saga, I knew I had to see it! Good plot, great characters, an ending that was a little predictable yet fun! It isn't gory like the movie they made after this, AVP:Requiem,(a bad, bad, and did I mention,BAD movie!)Cudos to the director and producers of AVP!!!
Rating: - ALIENS HERE & NOW
I HAVE TO ADMIT AFTER WATCHING ALL THE ALIEN MOVIES, I WOULD PUT THIS ALONG SIDE THE OTHER ONES. "ALIEN & ALIENS".IT'S WORTH WATCHING.LOTS OF EXCITMENT.SANAA LATHAN, WAS PRETTY GOOD IN THIS FLICK.ANOTHER FLICK, FOR ANY MOVIE BUFFS COLLECTION
