AvP2 co-director, Colin Strause, posted something interesting on the IMDB Boards a few hours ago. He says they are in editing now and “heavy” visual effects work will begin on the film in January.
“We can’t offically answer questions at this time, but I can say we lucked out on the weather, which is very rare in Vancouver for the time of year that we where there. Everything went very well on the shoot, and we are in the middle of editing right now, with heavy VFX work starting next month.”
He continues “Even when you use in-camera creatures, that doesn’t mean there aren’t other CGI effects like de-cloaking, weapon blades deploying, wire work to be painted out, plasma basts, etc, etc. Also, there will always be a few shots that are impossible to do with in-camera actors, so CGI stunt doubles are needed.”
I think it’s safe to say, the visual effects in AvP2 will surpass the previous film, if nothing else.
i ment '' it hasnt put me off '' sorry people
i should give these guys a chance and see what happens but still its up to fox really on how this movie pans out. AVP has put me off of any of the alien or predator franchise infact im rewatching the alien and predator movies ! 
Ridley Scott had only realeased 1 film, the Dualist before someone at Fox noticed his way and approach with the camera, Even the co-creators of Alien could understand their choice of director, your jumping on the band wagon of people who think that they will flop. Ridley Scott himself did comercials, give the guys a break until YOU actually see any footage, they sure don't deserve all this negativity, boi
