Critics Consensus

Gore without scares and cardboard cut-out characters make this clash of the monsters a dull sit.

The title alone betrays an entire Hollywood mindset of rehash, reheat, recombine. Re-please. Go to Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness May 3, 2005

2.5/5
Any aura of artistic quality that may have once surrounded the original films has well and truly vanished; director Paul W. S. Anderson follows the Roger Corman style: keep it fast, dark and full of gratuitous shocks. Go to Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Aug 16, 2024
3/10
While Paul W.S. Anderson arrived with blockbuster experience in his background, Alien vs. Predator quickly felt outside his comfort zone. The resulting flick has moments of joy, but feels like a lesser entry for both franchises. Go to Full Review Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania Aug 15, 2024
2/5
It was mindless fun watching the two iconic monsters fighting against each other but the problem is, the movie spends considerable time focusing on the human characters. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Anabelle S @RT96877043 Oct 20, 2026 it was good but not a rewatch See more Dylan R @Dylanlovesmovies Sep 27, 2026 The good aspects are you get to see the alien and preadator fight.You get to see the alien queen fight the preadator.I can not believe I almost cried during this. Bad aspects storyline is averge at best and lacks the gore and tone of the other movies in the alien or preadator franchise. Overall this movie is good to watch if you just want to see the alien and preadators fight and do not care about the storyline or if it matches the tone and gore of the rest of the alien or preadator See more Garry A @heavyg Sep 12, 2026 It's only worth watching to see the alien vs predator scenes. Nothing really happens in the first 50 minutes so you can skip that and watch the last 40 minutes. See more Dominic T @Dom2Chilly Sep 10, 2026 9.8/10. Action packed one of my favorite films. The story makes sense and is super fun. Great watch and amazing crossover. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 3, 2026 I have to say, I did enjoy this movie, it was pretty good! See more B P @Bradster69 Sep 1, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Read all reviews
