Two, the title Alien vs Predator. Not Alien vs Predator vs Humans. Anyone who expected to connect to the characters is sorely missing the point of the movie. It was never going to be about the humans, it was about two monsters from classic films going up against each other. There is not going to be characterisation, the point of it is to see the Aliens and Predators kicking ass. Who cares about the humans in it, they are there to give it some semblance of a plot to wrap around the main focus - Aliens, Predators, Blood, Guts, Gore and Horror. |
Wow, Thanks for impling i'm simple
I don't give sh*t what grade of movie it is, as I said, i'm not expecting Oscar material.
The reason ANY story works, but it is essential in horror movies, is that the viewer/reader relates in some way to the characters otherwise what is the point. They care what happens to them.
Simply put
without character you have no
story,
without story there’s no
character.
Nobody cares whether Aliens can beat up Predators or vice versa there is no emotional attachment to either one. They care that the humans caught in the middle survive or they would if they were not cardboard cutouts.
