5. Alien vs. Predator
Some people might be mad that I placed Alien vs. Predator so high on the list, but I have to admit it: itâs a guilty pleasure of mine! The first installment of the Alien/Predator crossover series, the movie was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and came out in 2004. Though Alien vs. Predator received negative reviews from critics, I watched it as a kid and thereâs so much nostalgia for me there.
The plot follows a group of experts consisting of scientists, archaeologists, and mercenaries, who are recruited to investigate an ancient pyramid buried under ice in Antarctica. But what they find down in the pyramid is something they wouldâve never imagined in their wildest dreams â Xenomorphs battling Predators. As usual with this franchise, Alien vs. Predator leaves the humans fighting for their lives, this time while also trying to uncover the pyramidâs secrets.
Featured in the cast of Alien vs. Predator are Sanaa Lathan, Lance Henriksen, Raoul Bova, Colin Salmon, Ewen Bremner, and Tommy Flanagan. None of the performances are necessarily standouts, but theyâre not bad either. With a movie like this, youâre really just in it for the action over anything else.
Thereâs not necessarily much new in Alien vs. Predator, and it certainly doesnât have as much depth as some of the earlier Alien movies. That said, I really do think itâs entertaining and the action sequences are pretty cool, even if thereâs an overuse of CGI. Weâve pretty much made it to âso bad itâs goodâ territory with this entry in the franchise, and though it might not be intentionally funny, itâs a fun ride nevertheless.
