I did. And I liked it. But I have an odd take on it. I'm not a "basement of the science building, wait in line for a week to buy tickets type", but I have read the 4 books and have and have seen all 4 movies and I actually like all of them. I've never even seen the comic books and have only seen a little of the Geiger illustrations. Canon for me is the movies.

Basically it's as slickly done as any of the others. It doesn't have the impact of the first movie (I still remember seeing it when it came out and being scared poopless) but it has big ugly monsters the do mean ugly things. It is consistent with the rest of the series and the cross breeding with Predator. And I like the series, it's one of the few movies where I look forward to other chapters in the story. The beasts represent perfect evil, no negotiation, no quarter.

Pay your money, eat your popcorn and enjoy.

Yup. It wasn't wasted though. The movie was quite enjoyable if somewhat unmemorable. Like most summer fare, you gotta go into 'em expecting that.

Cool visuals, serviceable script, acceptable acting. You might ask for more, but you shouldn't insist.

i'll rent that one when it hits the viddies.

it takes a lot to get me in the theatre. i've even waited on the latest harry potter to hit the stores. i do like rawling writings. she's a funny, snart lady.

Harry Potter? You gotta be kidding! Or you got big cajones.

why? i don't understand either comment. good writing is good writing, hell she's even won a nova award, putting her in the ranks of heilien, clarke, asimov...etc. and the fact that they are aimed at younger readers doesn't mean they can't have universal appeal. the films are very well done. they even had a triumph thunderbird pre unit twin in the first.

?Which movies? IIRC There's two Predator and three Alienz. And now of course I've gotta enter "Alien v Predator" into my onboard database to fuzz things up a bit more. tia,
