Well one review on IMDB does describe it as "total fantasy"...

course it is Stephen, the Americans won the war, when the hell did that ever happen, in real life?

The American Civil War. I'm pretty sure they won that one...

Better in the cinema. The SFX work more impressively on a big screen.

Otherwise, Hollywood hokum and eye-candy. Brain into neutral and gawp with the proles.

Quite enjoyed it, to be honest. In a "so what" kind of way.

Thumbs in neutral, to match my brain. Didn't resent the couple of hours I spent watching it, but didn't feel I would have missed out if I'd never seen it.

The rest of the evening went downhill when my car radiator sprang a leak and left me stranded in the depths of Wiltshire. Don't ask.

It wa the most fun I'd ever had in the cinema, taking the wee wee out of a film.

Has anyone seen Alien vs Predator? Another example of conveyor belt moviemaking. But at least it has Gigers designs going for it. And the facehuggers (shudder). :urff:
