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

[The Cruentus]

Stacks of movies use ADR and it's not oddly loud or not quite fitting.

Some work better than others, I personally found it was more noticeble in AVP.

That's just bad ADR; good ADR is noticeable.

[The Cruentus]

There is just plenty of scenes where I can tell its ADR, the sound and dialogue just isn't quite right. Maybe its just me.

[SiL]

In AvP, yes.

But you said that it was bad because they used ADR. My point is that it's bad because it's badly done ADR, not just that it simply is ADR.

[The Cruentus]

Oh I meant that the ADR was done bad, sorry I should been bit more clear. You mentioned a lot of sound issues and I said they used ADR because there was too much noise (I think) and it wasn't well done. ADR has to be used in films from time to time, especially when set and background noise is too much.

I think it still holds up. I love the concept, and I like that Weyland was more selfless than I thought he'd be. It isn't high art, but it is a fun movie to watch.

I still find it weird just how many similarities there are between AvP and Prometheus

^This! I've always found the similarities fascinating. I remember writing an article about it at the time.

After a rewatch tonight... it honestly did nothing for me at all. 😅

And I can't believe I'm actually about to say this (I may retract this opinion again after tomorrow's movie night) but I'm actually starting to think I prefer AVP2:R of the two of them. (and I have always ranked that second worst only to 'The Predator') But AvP has changed in my view from "it's ok for what it is" to "yawn". 😅

Welcome to the (literally visually) dark side.

I showed this to the 6 year old lol.  He liked it. I realized that I like it even less. It's okay for a bit, but falls apart so hard. 4/10.

No. Sadly the website isn't around anymore. It would be fun to have another crack at it though.

It was never that good even when I saw it at 10 years old was disapointed, now its worse, no more of the little I felt in some parts young.

Yeah this thing only becomes infinitely more dull with age.
