We Need AVP3 More Than Another Alien Sequel – And I Can Prove It

For many fans, Alien vs. Predator is a dark chapter in both franchises’ illustrious history. Pre-2004, the prospect of seeing two of sci-fi’s greatest movie monsters going toe-to-toe was a dream come true for all but the most crotchety traditionalists. Getting turned away from a decrepit British theater as an 11-year-old remains one of my most disappointing cinematic experiences to this day. Sadly, this excitement only made the movie’s underwhelming critical performance and pariah status more dispiriting. And yet, for all the flaws of the film and its sequel, Alien Vs. Predator

remains a potential treasure trove for future stories.
