Viewing Notes

Kevin drove down to meet me at Village Crossing for what I was hoping would be my dream movie, a movie all Alien and Predator fans have been wanting… for years! Unfortunately this was not the case. In a misguided decision to appeal to the masses, PWSA created a neutered, dumb-downed insult to these two franchises.

As far as AVP goes, well, let’s just say that somewhere in that mess there was a story worth telling. Sadly, it was so poorly executed you end up scratching your head wondering why they bothered at all. I know for a fact that had they turned that plot over to me i would’ve developed a much more compelling and tighter flick. that ain’t bragging b/c i know a few others that could’ve done the same.

So disappointing. Now we may never know what could have been.
