 Watching it today after it's been sometime I find myself seeing all the silly stuff from the early 2000's and some gleaming special effects issues.

In your opinion has AVP aged very well?

No.

It wasn't really of a high enough quality to begin with in order to age well.

I actually really disliked the film initially. I've somewhat warmed to it over time though. Its got some nice visuals and its a kinda fun adventure film/creature feature.

AvPR is the only film in the franchise that i think is straight up terrible. Maybe The Predator too

I enjoyed the movie more as a kid than now.

I liked it in theaters, didn't like it on home release, but honestly it's grown on me like a mould.

Good point!

You know how the resident evil movies suck and differ so much from the games?

That's how it is with avp. I wonder why that is?  ;D

:D Paul W.S. Anderson.

For me it aged well, I liked it from 2004 though.

P-Rock

Still a pretty enjoyable movie. I don't understand the Anderson hate.

At the time we thought we might get something more akin to Event Horizon as far as style, horror and some good actors. So deflated with what we ended up with.

Some of the cinematography is still top class, though.

To me age hasn't helped it. But to be completely fair, I didn't like it back in 2004 either.

It's a real shame we didn't get something more like Event Horizon. It really is. That Anderson looked like the man for the job.

I've softened to AvP a lot over the years too. It's not a bad movie, it's just okay.
