MOVIES : Alien Vs Predator

Oh Yeah!
Like 'Captain Sky...' this film had a superb vision - bringing together two fantastic franchises, linking in to the original films (lots of nice, subtle links they didn't have to put in, but did).
Good mix of suspense and action. All in all a pretty darn good film. I did go in expecting it to be overwrought, but it worked mostly - there was a small question of not 'raising the stakes' but I am fussy :)
Definitely worth a look, if only for how they've justified everything and had some fun too.
Go Girls!!

(I forgot to mention that this film really highlighted one of the reasons I love the Alien films. The Aliens as designed by Giger are, of course, fantastic. The parallels between growing and alien which bursts from your chest and a woman giving birth are obvious - and Giger really pushes these parallels into his creatures - the volvic, spider like creatures that inseminate, the horrific births of this alien thing from your belly. Great stuff.
And this film definitely did not shy away at all :)
