Whoever watches…They lose…

Sometimes in a person’s life, you make the wrong choices, like whether you’ll withdraw it or not; use protection or not; or watch Stepford Wives or a movie that in the first place you knew will be nothing but a quintessence of a nothing out of the ordinary sci-fi suspense movie. I made the wrong choice and I’m MAD enough to admit it (Grrrrrr!!!!).
The extraterrestrial from the 80’s and 90’s who went after a fast RYDER shoplifter is back (WY NOt NAme her?), and wait, we didn’t brought them back, well, at least intentionally, technically we did. And he’s having a face-off with the invisible enemy of a California governor (was it him or Rocky?). And the battleground, it’s our planet, and who’s in the middle of the WAR? The letter A--- and us to my surprise.
The battle goes on and as it went on, history will be unfolded and the writer takes support into the theory that the aliens thought the ancient Egyptians how to build a pyramid. Which I honestly think is the single smart idea that came out of this movie. The battle went one and a team died and someone ends up victorious (believe me you don’t need to mull on this one), and for me, well, for the first time since the last time, I’m a loser. (Why did they dub it as Alien vs. Predator if the Predator is also an alien? Shouldn’t it be Alien vs. Alien? Maybe Bald vs. Dreadlocks? Or Acid Alien vs. Invisible Alien)
I barely know the actors in this movie, and I don’t think there’s really that much to ponder with when it comes to acting since a sci-fi movie don’t really give you that much of a chance to excel. However, in comparison with other sci-fi suspense movies, it was quite better when it comes to acting.
When it comes to the story, that’s when the inevitable infuriation befall. The overused comedic fiasco will irritate you. Then comes the affected drama that’ll simply get on your nerves. And most of all the spoiled derivative situations from every successful sci-fi suspense movie. The jumping-off-from-a-bridge-and-almost-fall but-was-able-to-hold-onto-something or someone was quick enough to get a hold of them scene is just of the scenes you won’t believe moviemakers even spend the time to shoot this one, or even consider it.
Simply nothing will excite you from watching this movie. It was slow, it was boring, it was predictable and it gets worse as it goes along. Plus, an overly exaggerated ending didn't do any good.
I’m advising you right now to stay away from this movie. A movie like this can make you think that you can be a fortuneteller afterwards. It is nothing but an obvious attempt by the movie outfit to generate profit in the easiest way possible. Make a somewhat sci-fi sequel and let anonymous actors to be in it. Maybe if this was shown a decade ago you would really appreciate it, but today, I don’t think you’ll go as far as even liking it. I’m telling yah, whoever watches… they lose….., so don’t be a loser.
