Tim is on the sofa when Kelly walks over to him and they talk about Molly. About her feelings and whether it was right of Kelly to go away. Forest Search The scene where everybody is looking for Sam and Buddy has been extended at the beginning.
Diner Scene The scene at the diner is extended slightly at the beginning. Sewer Scene The scene in the sewer is edited differently. After the morgue sequence, the movie cuts to the Predator in the sewer. After he destroys the hive section on the wall, the Unrated version cuts to Ricky and Jesse at the car. Then back to the Predator in the sewer. In the theatrical version, the Predator in the sewer is one long sequence.
Karl, a power plant worker, tries to talk to his colleague on the radio. He then discovers his body and notices the cloaked Predator in the rails. The Predator eye-flashes him and the worker runs off. He is later seen at the cemetery. The water in the pool also changes to a red colour. In the theatrical version, the alien just grabs him and pulled him underwater.
The Sheriff finds out over the radio there was an explosion at the power plant and heads over there. When Darcy enters the kitchen, one of the Chestbursters slips past her while three others have emerged from her stomach. This explains why Darcy was so hysterical later in the movie when she talks to the Sheriff.
Screenwriter Shane Salerno Armageddon seems to be fully aware that we care little or nothing about who these people are or what they want, so he provides each of the main characters with only the most threadbare of back stories and then releases them to fend off their infinitely better-equipped, extraterrestrial adversaries.
There's a guy named Dallas Steven Pasquale who was recently released from prison and who is trying to save his younger brother Ricky Johnny Lewis from a similar fate; a soldier named Kelly Reiko Aylesworth trying to reconnect with her daughter Molly Ariel Gade after returning home from Iraq; and a doofus sheriff named Morales John Ortiz who is trying to manage this catastrophe as it escalates out of his control.
Predictably, most viewers will assign these characters numbers rather than names because it's an easier way to keep track of how many of them get killed and how often. But thankfully, directors Colin and Greg Strause keep the story such as it is moving at a quick enough pace that deficiencies in character development or general logic mostly go unnoticed.
Additionally, they employ a preponderance of practical effects that is, dudes in rubber suits to give the creatures tangible dimensions. The growing use of computer-generated effects to shortcut the filmmaking process has in recent years produced the unfortunate but perhaps expected side effect of decreased believability, but the brothers Strause construct enough realistic situations -- and then populate them with actual monsters -- to make sure that the audience feels and reacts as if they exist.
At the same time, this film shares with its predecessor the problem that neither the aliens nor the predators, but the humans are its focus. Admittedly, Salerno and Co. But the film's unwillingness to simply relegate the humans as collateral damage in this interstellar grudge match shows that somebody somewhere thought at some point we would actually be invested in anything other than the action.
Meanwhile, I'm more interested in precisely why the predator is hunting these creatures. Mind you, I'm not questioning motivation in any serious or critical way, but throughout the movie I was far more curious about the predator's "quest" it isn't coming of age as were the predators in the first film than the efforts of a few puny humans to escape being brained or otherwise dismembered.
That said, such concerns of extremely minor importance, since the ultimate point is to make money and maintain interest in two franchises which -- even separately -- had long since burned out even their most committed fans. In fact, the film's compilation of reference points, visual cues and familiar sound effects resembles something strikingly different than any real or legitimate compendium of science fiction mythology or lore; rather, it seems more like a ransom note cut and pasted from the remnants of other and presumably better texts.
Ultimately, the film is competently executed, occasionally scary and frequently fun to watch, no matter whether you choose to laugh at or with it.
I have no idea what happened. Alien were incredible, 4 was also good. A Vs P was a litle weird and out of theme. I have no idea why the producers would kill such a great story line.
