Has Alien vs. Predator (2004) aged all that well?

[PsyKore]

I agree a lot still looks alright. Although, the CGI of the aliens running up to the Queen before they free her looks a bit video-gamey. I also find a lot of stuff tends to look too rubbery, like facehuggers, chestbursters, Predator faces, mainly anything fleshy.

Totally agree and the way the Predators looked was way too fat, bulky and dumb looking. I've never seen such big Predator suits which took away from that cool stealthy look they always have.

Ahhh, as always I have to say it. It's better to have additional armour when dealing with three meters of claws, teeth, sharp tail and corrosive blood. Same with weaponry, you want to have as much distance as possible.

With lower amount of armour Grid would've had a smoking whole in abdomen, after Grid's acid squirt.

Its mainly the armor that causes that issue, when Celtic takes parts of it off, he doesn't look that bad.

There's some shots of Scar where he looks pretty lithe too.

Really Scar? I though his armor looked the bulkiest of them all. And those huge dreads didn't help on his design. The ones in the flashback were fine.

They didn't had much armor covering their thighs though, Anytime and Wolf had more protection on their thighs than the AVP predators. Issue isn't the additional armor but the design, looked generic and kind of fake.

Comics and games showed better examples of how heavily armored predators should look, and they kept their athletic moves on it.









I don't remember about people complaining that those other Predators looked fat or dumb.

I honestly always thought Monolith's Predator appeared dumb af. But worked for the comic-book artstyle.

Without going and grabbing the actual screenshots, I thought he looked fine here:

You mean the heavy predator model? I liked how they tried to make each Predator look distinct from each other, not only in color and armor, but in bone structure and muscle mass as well. Light and Ancient looked quite different I guess but since we had the "standard" predator model too, I didn't mind such additions.

Might be one of his best shots.

They were less bulky on the concept art. The issue probably arrived when ADI made the armor.

[The Old One]

The concept art's fantastic.

I think it looks fine there because of the shoulder pads are hidden in shadow / dreads.










I think the no neck against the American Football shoulder pads combine to make the awful, bulky look.

Indeed.
