Alien vs. Predator

First of all, Arsenal. We won, our goal keeper made an outstanding save and a great pass (which came to nothing) but did make a mistake. Havertz played really well, but was lucky not to get into more trouble than he did for an incident where he ended up being ‘accidentally’ strangled.

We have tried to keep our son distracted as he is getting nervous about his results later this week. We finished watching My Lady Jane. It will be interesting to see if there is a second series.  Our daughter appears to be enjoying France and has sent us some photos about what she has been up to.

The next bit is the film.  I watched it as there is a new Alien film coming out soon. I have decided to watch them in chronological order, as I am hoping it makes more sense to do so. I had watched it in the cinema in 2004 and felt it was a bad film then. I think that it is still one now.  However, I think that I like it a bit more than before. I rate this two out of five, the first part of the film is rushed. The aliens mature much too fast, one moment being a chest-burster, and within a few minutes it is a fully grown adult. In addition to this, the time the face-hugger is on much and off the host much faster than the original two films.  In addition, there is little effort to get to know most of the characters. In the first two films, you have time to learn bits about those who are to die, in this one, there is little effort to humanise both. The ending is wanting as well, in that we have to assume that the Alien going down to the bottom of the sea will not be able to survive the ordeal. Last of all, the main character finishes the film in a thin top, not really suitable for Antarctica.

In addition to this, there is also the issue of the pyramids.  The film states that pyramids across the globe were constructed to worship the Predators and also for breeding Aliens to hunt.  If that is the case, why the differences in the pyramid interiors across the globe to the one found in Antarctica?

I am disappointed that I decided to watch this again.
