Default Skybuck's Review of AvP 2 the Movie based on a Crappy Cam ;) and future story for film or game.

Hello,

Ok, I just saw the movie at a resolution of 358x151 which is very crappy but
ok.

The sound was hearable but not too good either.

The movie is very dark.

The movie is very zoomed in. Which kinda irritated me and kinda sucked, I
want to see more environment like in Predator 1 nice shots from jungle or
so.

I do miss a little bit the music of predator 1, I wish I could download it's
soundtrack or so I think I once did though, can't remember but I can't
find it anymore on the web.

The AvP2 music is missing some of the sounds of predator, but there are also
some in there.

Now for the movie itself.

The best part of the movie was the hot blond girl in her bathing suit !

That was one hot scene and I hope and wish her a very successfull hollywood
carrier... at least from the cam she looks like a very hot hot hot hot hot
blond woman.

Maybe she should get her own movie about jealous boyfriends and fights and
such. I enjoyed those parts of the movie best.

Rest of the movie was kinda crap. It was hard to follow what was going on.

Some shots was were nice though, for example when the nigga stuck his head
out of the tank. He looks around and then you see the Alien's face in full
close up... and the nigga is like o ****

I do like the sounds in the movie.

My favorite parts are the scenes where you can look through the predator
vision. I like that a lot. It's also in the first person perspective which I
always enjoy a lot.

However the green vision is kinda weird... that's normally only for spotting
other predators which are cloacked... not for spotting aliens... the blue is
for spotting aliens. So that's kinda weird... The red shot was kinda weird
as well.

Or maybe I am just confused...

I did play the game not so long ago.

I tell you the game is 1000x better than the movie. Damn awesome game, not
so good movie. However I think they did their best to make something out of
it. They just don't have the talent which James Cameron has who was a camera
man himself and knows how to shoot some great pictures and scenes.

Still this movie probably second best or so.

There are some other nice things in... Like the dude which finds the skin in
the swewer/water. Kinda creapy and funny.

However who is dumb enough to go into the swewer just to find a bunch of
crappy keys ? Dont you have any backups ?

Throwing somebodies keys into the swewer a bit mean... Can't believe anybody
would do that for real but ok

People died a bit too easy in this movie... No real fighting going on... or
escaping or whatever... no race of survival... just boom and your dead...
bit cheesy.

There was maybe like only one interesting part where the cop runs away after
he finds the predator with his pants down

Also I like the scene where the lover of the girl that just got killed goes
balistic on the predator runs to predator and shoots everything he gots at
the predator. That was LOL.

Maybe a higher resolution movie would be more enjoyable to watch.

There were moment I thought about just turning it off because it was
unwatchable... but then I sat through those parts which quickly passed on...

The colonel is kinda lame to bomb the **** out the town... Instead of
putting up a fight or something or trying out harder...

That's a bit lame... Don't like that but ok.

I have seen some reviews of other people. They complain about the gore and
the babies and the pregnant woman and such ?

Why are they complaining about that ? I did not find it disturbing at all...
actually I found that scene quite exciting the predalien looking at the
helpless little babies... I was like YEAH !!! KILLL THOSE SCREAMING BABIES
!!!

But no... absolutely nothing happened.

Somehow I have the feeling that certain parts where cut out of the movie ?!

If so than that sucks !

There was only a little bit of gore in this movie ?!

Where is all the aggression ?

Where is all the slaughter ?

Where is all the screaming ?

Where is all the suffering ?

Where is all the crazyness ?

Where are all the people going beserk/crazy from terror and fear ?

Where are all the people running and screaming in fear fleeing for their
lives ?

Dripping blood and **** ?

This movie lacks in that department... there was some but definetly not
enough or it was cut out.

To bad really.

Where are all the people that rather commit suicide instead of buying
butcher and slauther alive ?

I do not feel statisfied about this movie because of these reasons, I shall
repeat them one more time in short:

1. To much zoom-in.

2. To much darkness, hard to tell what's going in (common complaint about
this movie)

3. To little screaming and such, to little gore and blood, too little
aggresion, too little sadistic stuff, etc.

4. To short combat/fight/freight scenes and sequences. Must be longer, more
hunt and prey, more destroy, more counter attack, more battle, then more
fleeing, more, more and more.

For example the predator movie had long action sequences those were nice...
Like Arnold fleeing for his live... and arnold battling it out, or counter
attacking etc.

I didn't care so much about the filling of the characters, I didn't give a
**** about that. It ****ing bored me to death. Only thing was interesting
was the stuff surrounding the blond babe ! =D and maybe a little bit the
hunter, the kind and the police cops figuring out what the hell is going on.

I don't need so much a peak into people's life... Let people just develop
into the story as the action happens. Like you just meet people during the
movie. Anyway nice try.

I don't understand other people's complaints about lack of character
development, **** THAT I SAY ! Boring.

The alien planet scene was kinda interesting.

The end scene was kinda interesting as well.

It makes me wonder how the next movie will go ? If there will ever be a next
movie ?

Maybe a massive invasion of predator ships would be cool.

Predators start slaughtering human beings all over the planet.

Maybe because the human military attacked the predators homeworld somehow...
with maybe a crash spaceship they recovered... and developed their own space
technology or something.

And ofcourse the aliens would escape containment as usual LOL.

The worse thing about this movie was the insanely amount of zoom-in's that
has got to stop ! =D

Well that was about it folks. There ya go.

Oh wait one more thing.

I am definetly a fan of the game. I do like the idea of more of these
movies. Even if they are not exceptional I still kinda enjoyed it...

I did see other movies like Myst and I am Legend, I am not sure which I like
better because I am a fan of AvP.

Myst was awesome. I am Legend was great. But that was partially because of
the better resolution but still those movies were like well done hollywood
movies with a single-shot-theme or something.

The fun thing about AvP is that it's a developing story. In each movie we
learn more about the predators and they aliens were they come from... there
weapons, their spaceships, their features, their characters, personalities
and habits, and ofcourse their technology...

So it's a bit of an ongoing sciencefiction theme combined with a bit of
horror and action.... that's a good thing they got going on and they should
definetly try to expand on that.

Think about more new technologies, more new spaceships, maybe different
kinds of predators, maybe different homeworlds, maybe even a new specifies
out there in space, simply more science fiction, more predator-computerized
stuff, I loved seeing predator-computerized stuff.

I love science fiction.

I enjoyed those parts a lot in this movie, even if it was kinda short and
such, I dont need a lot to get my imagination started though Hints
will do just fine

Anyway some things kinda annoyed me... like to many lines from other movies,
to much homeage to other movies, especially the "hold on" from ripley in the
tank was simply too much. But ok. I guess others could say that as well...
The girl looks to much like Ripley... that kinda sucked. Their is only one
Ripley and we don't need another one One nasty bitch is more than enough
LOL with all respect to Ripley New fresh characters is better

Maybe some new strong hero who knows

Hmm let's see.... I really like the "bathing suit" part of the movie...
maybe a little bit more of that hehe... neh that was just fine. Definetly
another hottie in the next movie LOL. Water scene was kinda cool as well..
Water always cool in movies.

Actually I think the concept of the movie was ok, It's probably the camera
work which was a bit not good enough... Like I already said too much zoom in
and ofcourse next time... much more battle scene's, more predator kungfu and
alien kungfu Then at least the camera man has something to shooot

I wanna see zoom out's as well. I wanna see the predator jumping through the
air... during a combat scene. I wanna see aliens jump through the air... I
wanna see them crawl onto buildings... crawl the sealings up side down...
like in aliens movie... I wanna see them from going onto a wall onto the
ceiling and back to the ground again like in a looping fashion to get close
to someone and ****ing rip it's fricking head off and blood going out of
it... and then the next mother****er gets cut in half but it's razor sharp
long nails... and finally another gets whiped but it's tail and gets badly
hurt as well and beat up... in the face for all I care and in the body as
well being hit to the ground wrestling with the tail...

Then the alien after cutting somebody almost in half... turns around to see
who the ****ing is messing with it's tail and the alien gets ****ing mad
like STAY THE **** OFF MY TAIL like a ****ing cat does... and pulls back
it's tail and maybe then thinks to HIMSELF ?! YOU WANT MY TAIL ?! YOU GONNA
GET IT NOW !

BOOOM and whipes the mother****er again with his ****ing tail... yeah... and
then he jumps onto the human being, risking his own alien life... cause the
human might have a knife or shotgun or pistol or something and the alien
gets up close the human being wrestling with the ****ing alien like get the
**** of me !

boom boom boom hitting the alien with his fights and arms... and trying not
to get bit in the face.

And then the aliens does bite him a little bit in face and his face parts
falls off but he still alive... and his arms getting maybe a bit cut off
because the aliens is fighting his arms as well with his razor sharp nails
and such...

The human can't stand the pain anymore... He either dies blooded or maybe he
reaches for a pistol... while the alien tries to block him... but the alien
does not yet understand what a pistol and doesnt know the danger... and
finally the blooded human manages just barely to point the gun at the alien
head or neck or body or something and PULLS THE TRIGGER multiple times...

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM the alien gets penetrated with bullits flying through
it's body armor... and the **** flies out and zzztttt onto the human's
cloths... and the human gets more hurt by it... but the alien is no hurt as
well.. screaming in pain ?! SAHAHAAAAAAAHHHHH.

The alien doesn't know what the ****... and the alien could then decide to
maybe run away to fight another die... or it might finish the human of... or
it might die... because of it... slowly though... and ofcourse it ain't dead
yet... it's just dieing of pain... still dangerous... the human has to
push the hurt alien away... the alien still looks at the huma like what the
**** are you... what the **** you gonna do with me... you wanna call it
quits ? and then the alien tries to hit the human and bit him... but they
both hurt beyond fighting capabilities... they both just suffiring...

Maybe then somebody else could step in and finish em off to help them out of
their misery... maybe the predator, maybe other aliens... maybe human
beings... maybe bad cyborgs from the cooperation who come to collect the
hurt alien to study it and breed it. Finishing of the bloody human so nobody
knows about it except those that need to know.

Alternatively... the human could know try to hide or run away... through
some tunnels... or some cave system.. or for all I care a spaceship or maybe
another planet's mountains etc.

Now the human blooded and all most try to stay away from the cyborgs... but
how is the human going to prevent the tracking of himself ?

He could jump into the water... maybe some kind of river system... to get
rid of his tracks...

The human having escaped the cyborgs successfully now most make it back to
society informing them of the coming danger... and the secret research
that's going on.

Ofcourse the secret research goes bad... and the aliens take over the
research facility.. finally some battle could take place their... deep
inside a mountain so the aliens can't escape easily...

The predator shows up at the research facility as welll, it has come to
collect what belongs to him ! and his race ! The alien predator plasma
cannon technology ?! It must not fall into human hands ?!

The predators are very ****ed off at the humans for stealing their
technology ?!

The predators are hunters and collectors and they don't like it when people
did not battle for their stuff ?!

The predators have come to teach the human beings and their controlled
cyborgs a lesson they will not soon forget ?!

Mess with the predators and they come SLAUGHTER YOU ! =D

However the human beings now know about the predators and they have all
kinds of defensive weapon systems and booby traps in place to try and
capture the predators, kill them or prevent them from whatever it is they
are trying to do which is mainly get inside the alien research facility and
collect the plasma cannon.

Which is ofcours guarded inside a fault.

The predators expect this and are prepared with explosives and melting
stuff. First they maybe try an explosive or maybe melt... when that don't
work the predators must look to each other, a small in-movie joke, they go
like... woeh... well done by those humans... and then the audience laughs...
and the predators don't care about that... they simply switch to something
more powerfull and ****ing blast the ****ing door open or something like
that.

But first the predators must seem to get into the facility... this requires
cunninnness of the predators... they must sneak in, avoid detection, disable
weapon systems... out smart the human and even cyborgs.

There could be a predator versus cyborg battle.

Like predator versus bishop or something like that.

Cyborg loses it and gets cut up into pieces and his white blood splatters
all over.

The predator is like ieuw what's this white kinda stuff... never seen that
before... **** that.

He collects a sample of it for further study when or if he gets back him...
maybe he even analyzes it... and sends a report back him via some dish or so
or whatever. But that probably can't work because he deep inside a mountain
so he gotta store it on his personal computer or data disk or whatever. Or
just his sample.

He likes a throwphy as well.. So he takes the strange synthetic looking
skull of the cyborg... and cleans it and bags it or sticks it on him.

The cyborg was strong though... He squezed the arms of the predators with
his fists... the predator is a bit hurt in his arms... but his armor around
his arms took the most force of the squeeze... and they are damaged, bent,
and broken.

He can no longer use that stuff on his arm. It's kaput... and kaput and
kaput... and he decides to get rid of it... and melts it down.

He'll have to go on... or maybe return to the collective of predators
outside the mountain awaiting the retrieval of the plasma gun.

As some predators return from the battle inside the mountains other
predators go in to proceed where the previous ones failed.

Those that failed made the predators ashamed ?!

And those that failed but fought bravely are killed off... or commit
suicide... or maybe this is to bad of ending for those predators. Maybe they
are allowed to live on. Or maybe they were not so brave... and the other
predators are ****ed of and decide to get rid of the weak ones.

Only the strongest predators survive that way !

It's the way of the predators !

Wwell I could go on and on and on and on and on and on about such story...
but I have other stuff to do and I am not getting payed for this anyway...
lol... and I don't want to write a complete movie script hehehe... you ll
have to think up some stuff yourself LOL otherwise I won't be surprised
enough

I don't wanna know the complete story before hand... noooooooooooooo.

You ll have to finish the story and expand it.

Well enough from me.

I end with the words:

I hope alien vs predator 3 the game and the movie will be made in the
future.

And especially for the game I hope to see better graphics.

I think it will be very difficult to make a game which is better than Alien
vs Predator 2 conceptually... because AvP2 is very very very very very good
game. Even it's graphics are still enjoyable.

However improving it's graphics should be very simple to do...

That is known stuff in the game industry I would almost say.

So start with that... make completely new graphics for the game, new game
engine, possible new network engine... maybe boring some code from the game
as welll... whatever it takes to make it high quality and higher quality
then the existing game.

This might be a good start... but it won't be enough... the game needs
something very special to be successfull with the existing audience...

Just playing the same game in a new jacket is boring. The game must have new
fresh elements to it.

However the game already has so much it will be difficult to pull of it, but
not impossible.

Aliens 4 with the marines... on the spaceship... still has some content that
could survive the game well.

Make it a military shooter... where players can play as the military. The
military has set forth a mission to find, collect or destroy these aliens on
some planet. That's one possibility.

Make it a believable military experience... fighting aliens.

Then later the predators could sneak in.

This could be single player as well as multiplayer...

For example the above story could function as multiplayer scenerio as well.

The players can play as predators trying to retrieve the stolen plasma
cannon from the mountain/research facility.

Other players can try and play the aliens to kill and infect as many players
as possible which turn into aliens as well.

Finally other players can play as marines... trying to keep things tight...
getting rid of the aliens and trying to prevent predators from getting in
and stealing the plasma cannon.

Nice scenerio.

Their should be some vents as well, to air the facility... aliens must be
able to crawl there... maybe even get outside..

Predators could get in via air vents as well..

There should be some forest on the hill as well... so people could even play
outside.

There could be an alien spaceship outside... cloacked... waiting for the
plasma cannon to be returned.

The ship will decloack when players are near it...

Aliens could sneak in and **** up the spaceship from inside... as well as
marines could sneak in... when predators not looking

Or maybe they can cut of predator arms and hands and pretend they are
predators or something. To trigger the de-cloack signal.

Inside the ship should be big enough for some tunnels and such and some
rooms but not to big, not too large... it's just a transport vessle.

Some computers, maybe even some animals and creatures they collected from
other planets, as a nice decoration for the ship. and something fun too look
it and maybe even play with =D

Ofcourse some weapons, armorment etc... some displays etc. And some secret
doors and secret cabinets or so I love secret.

The facility should also have some doors, glass, like doom 3 kind of
faclities... but more in 3D more openess inside the mountain a mix of all
kinds of stuff... research devices, tortute devices for all I care to see
how much the aliens can take.

Breeding places, Sacfricing places, where humans are sacrifcied for study
and breeding.

There should be some dead women lieing around which were impregnanted...
women better for it than man LOL.

But man can work as well. Some blood here and there.. some body parts.

Some clean sections... some battled sections, damaged sections, blooded
sections, explosive sections... exploded sections, bad electricty here and
there. Good stuff.

Well that should be enough for now and at least enough for one good nice
level

Bye,
Skybuck.
