The DVD I rented had both the theatrical and extended edition releases. I'm basing this review off the extended edition.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie. I mean, it's a sci-fi monster movie. Predator was a decent movie (but the sequel wasn't). The Alien films were all ok. But I've been disappointed in monster movies that looked promising before.
Can I just say that I about bust a gut while watching this movie? I'm pretty sure the filmmakers didn't intend for this movie to be funny, but I was laughing hysterically throughout this film. From the dialogue (which was supposed to be serious but came off as very drama-queen like) to the dramatic scenes (the "hair flip" of the Predators; nothing like seeing space dreadlocks whipping around in slow motion) to the special effects (a Predator grabbing an Alien by the tail and slinging it around), this movie just made me laugh.
Overall, I'd say it's worth a rental on a rainy day.
