RE: AVP: The Greatest Battle Of All Time
Tell me about it. WTF is wrong with that film?
2 short AvP fights and the plot has more holes than a block of swiss cheese.
A few of my favourites being *spoilers* : Why is a whaling station inland? How didnt the team see a huge flash of light as the `lazer beam` drilled a hole a few miles in front of them? In the antartic the weather sometimes dips below -100. Why didnt token black girl die when running around in a vest? Or the rest of the team die when running round in just a fleece and a smile? And WTF has the metric system got to do with telling the time? Its divided in to units of 60, ffs........
And my favourite being, in a film entitled `Aliens Vs Predator` why are there only 3 predators, 2 of which get offed after being onscreen for 5 minutes (45 mins into the film!) and there are actually only 2 actual fights. One of which was a remake of The Rock v HHH at last years survivor series.....
Actually no, my favourite is, why did Anderson choose to go against established Aliens canon and have the alien queen kill the pred, who is carrying an Alien. By stabbing him through the chest, no less, which surely should have killed the embryo?
Got this film sucks ass.........

RE: AVP: The Greatest Battle Of All Time
Well firstly the reason that there are only 3 Yaut`Ja is becuase it is the right of passage also known as the"Kiande Amedha Chiva" (or hard meat trial) and it is basically the way for a pred to become accepted as a man and warrior and the reason 2 get killed very early is because the whole thing was set off balence by the humans entering and setting off the trap releasing the face huggers. Everyone says that aliens have the intellegence of dogs which is untrue seeing as they free the queen by making the acidic blood melt through the chains whic is incredibly smart plus there are more flaws in this than meets the eye but you need to know the background of the Yaut`Ja and Xenomorphs
P.S. The reason the chestburster is not destroyed is due to the fact he is stabbed in the stomach not chest and it is a CHESTburster not stmochburster

1) The fact that there is only 3 "Yaut`Ja" may be part of the plot, but it makes for a sucky film.
2) The "Yaut`Ja" get killed early on, in less than spectacular fashion, not because the humans have started things off early, but because they wanted to squeeze a strange "Predator Boyfriend" plot with token black girl.
3) I do know a fair bit of backstory about the "Xenomorphs", but i dont think the film requires you to know any of the backfluff in order to get into the film. Its pretty one dimensional.
4) It looked like a pretty severe cavity trauma to me. The queen musta been a pretty good shot (Aliens not attacking carriers canon, notwithstanding)

"Yaut`Ja", "Kiande Amedha Chiva" - he`s not a nerd, he`s just making it up to see who bites. No one could be that nerdy. Knowing Predator language would have to go up to 11 on the nerd scale (speaking Klingon only scores a 9).
RE: AVP: The Greatest Battle Of All Time
What a load of claptrap. Nerds indeed.

Trips to the video store for a quiet night in can be fun. But remember;
* Pick something everyone will like.
* Don`t be afraid to ask for assistance
* DO NOT peer through Mr T`s WINDOW on the WAY home, and LAUGH at him watching BRING IT ON alone with his trousers UNDONE!

The movie was a complete crapfest and no amount of silly jargon that sounds like it was stolen from a Star Trek convention will improve it. The chess match was better. :p
