Wissenswertes
In one of the movie's behind-the-scenes featurettes, director of photography Daniel Pearl stated that he wanted to visually differentiate this movie from its predecessor Alien vs. Predator (2004), which he criticized for its use of fixed cameras, wide shots and excessively bright lighting, because in his opinion, this revealed way too much of the creatures. Reasoning that monster horror works better in dark environments with documentary-style photography, Pearl employed hand-held cameras and dimly illuminated sets to get the desired effect. Ironically, the film would later be criticized mostly for its overuse of 'shaky cam' and excessively murky lighting, with people complaining that they couldn't see much of the action.

Patzer
(at around 32 mins) If Wolf's purpose for coming to earth was to "clean" all evidence of the incident why did he skin Ray's body and leave it hanging for anyone to find instead of melting it down with acid like he did with all other bodies?

Zitate
Dallas: All right, listen, whatever happens inside, the only person that can't get hurt is Kelly, all right? We all protect Kelly.
Drew: What is this, the Titanic? Screw the women and children first shit, man.
Dallas: Look, asshole, unless you can fly the helicopter, shut the fuck up.

Crazy Credits
The opening title card features many sound effects from the previous movies, such as motion tracker beeps from Aliens, and the Predator POV humming.

"That's crazy! The government doesn't lie to people!"

Gleefully silly continuation of the events in "Alien vs. Predator" shows what happens as the truly monstrous "PredAlien" (veteran effects expert and creature performer Tom Woodruff Jr.) and numerous other Xenomorphs run amok in a remote Colorado town. While a great many of the local citizens are victimized, a select few come together and struggle to make it to safety. Meanwhile, a solitary Predator (Ian Whyte) comes to town to handle the infestation in its own way.

This movie is basically to its predecessor what "Aliens" was to "Alien", as it concentrates first and foremost on action and pace. Most of the human characters are not worth your time, although it's wonderful to see '24' babe Reiko Aylesworth as an ass kicking Ripley type character, a soldier just returned from Iraq. A fair amount of the dialogue is pretty bad, as well. But there is entertainment value for some viewers, provided that they can just put their brains in neutral. There's tons of violence - granted, there's the expected use of modern digital gore. The most interesting aspect for some in the audience will be the take no prisoners approach utilized by screenwriter Shane Salerno and directors Colin & Greg Strause. They pretty much treat the scenario as open season on many of the characters - including children. This will either delight or disgust viewers. The unqualified highlight - or absolute low point, depending on ones' sensibilities - is the ultra creepy maternity ward sequence.

This viewer's not ashamed to admit that he digs this entry a fair bit, although he can understand why people would be inclined to dislike it. Certainly, the major bone of contention for a lot of people is cinematographer Daniel Pearls' (the original "Texas Chain Saw Massacre") very minimalist lighting.

Six out of 10.
