I rewatched avp last night, its a summer blockbuster, its got some wooden acting an hammy dialogue in places but does have a solid cast and effects, if anything the film could of benefitted from an addition 20 minutes to flesh out the characters, would've been more idyllic to have a future setting like the avp dark horse series but not terrible for what we got, the bulky predator designs I was never a fan of and Paul W.S Anderson obsession with using computer maps to transmission scenes was clearly a hangover from his first resident evil film, as well as Colin Salmon getting cubed, its not the worst but could've and should've been so much more, to think this won out over the alluded Scott and Cameron collaboration screams studio penny pinchers to me.
