- Surprisingly free of gore, unlike its predecessors.
- 40TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghA reductive spook show in which a bunch of puny humans get chased around by scary monsters.
- 40VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyThe thing-a-ma-jigs have it out with the whatch-a-ma-call-its -- as several humans scurry and scream between -- in Alien Vs. Predator, the kind of two-for-one dogfight (last repped by "Freddy Vs. Jason") that usually does more to bury a franchise than revive it.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe fifth outing for the slime-dripping, shape-changing creatures, the Aliens are looking a little dogged, perhaps ready for the Alien Retirement Home. Meanwhile, the Predator warriors, who never achieved the artistic heights of their counterpart, look better invisible. When visible, they resemble robotic can openers gone berserk.
- 38Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonChicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIt's a murky, empty-headed dive into the depths of the Antarctic and the heart of monster movie cliches that leaves you praying for most of the cast to get killed off fast, to put them (and us) out of our misery.
- 38ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe film is critic-proof and it will find an audience, but it's hard to imagine even the film's target demographic (teenage boys) being overly enthusiastic about the product. It's disposable entertainment of the worst kind.
- 30Film ThreatFilm ThreatIt will end up frustrating fans of both movie franchises enough to make them wish someone more competent was in charge.
- 30SlateDavid EdelsteinSlateDavid EdelsteinThe first 45 minutes or so is stupefying--flat, disjointed, missing all human connective tissue.
- 25New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickIt’s often hard to figure out who’s winning, much less care about it. One thing is certain: Nobody is going to be demanding a rematch.
