"While far from perfect, or even the best film based on these franchises, the big thing Aliens vs. Predator: The Long War has going for it is a commitment to its premise of pitting the two alien species against one another."  - Glenn Howard, Total Film

"Aliens vs. Predator: The Long War is overly complex and features at least a handful of completely irrelevant characters. Eventually filmmakers should realize that like these stories to be simple and scary. This was neither." - Jeremy Raren, RottenTomatoes.com

"I have mixed feelings on this Aliens/Predator entry. The action with the two different alien species works really well, but I did not care about any of the characters. They weren't likable or all that interesting. These movies work best when we want the characters to succeed, but I found myself rooting for the Predators and Xenomorphs on more than one occasion." - Roger Taggart, Chicago Tribune

Rated R for violence, gore and language
