The production design of AvP was always impressive. I still think the story as ended up on screen was flawed from inception. As much as I credit Anderson with making the most of the Earth-bound setting (Antarctica was a great way to take it an isolated setting) it still didn't suit AvP.
No kidding! Although there is no affirmative information on whether Ripley's contact with the alien was the first between humanity and the xenomorphs it was (personally) assumed as the first. And another thing was that the predator only appears in hot climates. In AvP these were ignored or omitted for the setting.
I honestly enjoyed AvP, and it might be frowned upon but it was the film that solidified my fanaticism with the Alien and Predator franchises.
The one thing that upset me however was the origin stories. Hence why I firmly believe that before we see another AvP movie let's wait for the standalone titles to provide us more substance for the monsters through origins and characterizations before they enter a crossover so that they can come in established and without the need to be explained in the crossover film.
