Reaction: The numbers for this film are down across the board from Fede Alvarez's previous entry, Alien: Isolation. There are a lot of potential reasons for this: lack of star power, lack of connectivity between the studio Alien films, sour taste remaining from previous Aliens vs. Predator films, etc.
"If you've seen all the Alien and Predator films, there won't be much new here that you haven't already seen, with the film playing very much like a greatest hits compilation of the two franchises. Newcomers may find it interesting, but most will probably find it redundant." - Jeremy Raren, RottenTomatoes.com
"The characters are all pretty boiler plate here, all lacking clear personality traits - human or otherwise. Despite the talent in the cast, the actors were unable to make any of their characters stand out in any way." - Albert Perry, Orange County Register
"This film isn't the most original out there, but it does feature plenty of exciting sci-fi action. Despite its shortcomings, I can safely say I was never bored during Aliens vs. Predator: The First Hunt." - Roger Taggart, Chicago Tribune

Rated R for intense sci-fi action violence, gore, frightening images and language.
