For a reel or so, the film brings on regular folks to get caught between the hostile species – Dallas (Steven Pasquale), a young ex-con and incipient hero (named after the Tom Skerritt character in Alien, we assume) who wants to look after his tearaway brother (Johnny Lewis) Kelly (Reiko Aylesworth), an Iraq vet mom trying to reconnect with her Newt-like daughter (Ariel Gade) a struggling Sheriff (John Ortiz) who has a naïve belief that the government aren’t as ruthless as the average predator (their ultimate game-plan owes a lot to the save-the-village-by-destroying-it gambit from Return of the Living Dead) a pretty blonde high school girl (Kristen Hage) who trails a couple of bully characters who need to be told ‘you’re too dumb to speak’ before they get predictably chomped (the most creative aspect of the script is that a few characters who ought to be fireproof get killed – though in the wake of the little kid’s gunshot accident death in Planet Terror these murders have only momentary impact, even when a baby is sucked out of a pregnant woman by an alien). To deal with this crisis, a Predator trouble-shooter (Ian Whyte) heads for Earth, intent on wiping out the aliens and any human witnesses – with a vial of dissolve-anything acid among his kit of alien-fighting weapons. Taking up where the previous episode ended, the film has an Alien-Predator hybrid being (Tom Woodruff) slaughter the crew of a Predator ship and return to Earth with the new-found ability to directly impregnate humans with alien eggs – which it exercises on a father and son bonding on a hunting trip in the vicinity of Gunnison, Colorado. Even as schlock, this is thuddingly ordinary – though it is a marginal improvement on AVP, thanks to a few tiny character licks in Shane Salerno’s by-the-numbers screenplay (this batch may be two-dimensional, but that’s one dimension more than the AVP victims) and one interesting production decision (setting most of the film during a horrendous, Aliens-inspired downpour that makes the alien battles even more difficult to survive).
The saddest thing about it is that Colin and Greg Strause, the whiz-kids who get to direct, are the sort of people who have no ambitions beyond making theatrically-relased fan fiction. Anderson film based on some comic books and video games rather than an actual extension of either the Alien or Predator franchises. The most generous way to look at the clumsily-titled AVPR is as a sequel to a clod-hopping Paul W.S.
