The moive ....
It starts off with a town under siege. The town is Gunnison, a real-life locale situated in the mountains of central Colorado. “It’s small – but not too small,” says Shane Salerno who set the story in Gunnison after searching a U.S. map for a fresh take on the warring creatures. (Vancouver, British Colombia stood in for Gunnison.)
"AVP2" exists in a familiar landscape – a town’s dark sewers, its rain-soaked streets, the concrete jungle of its electrical plant, and a hospital maternity ward – that become battlefields beyond the townspeople’s worst nightmares.
“While writing the "AVP2" script, I was constantly thinking about how regular people respond to the most extreme situations,” Salerno continues. “I looked at things like hurricanes and fires, where ordinary people – firefighters, police officers, teachers – become heroes.”
“We wanted to explore the lengths to which people would go to protect their families,” elaborates Colin Strause. “Who would they fight for… and die for?”
Another element new to the long-running franchise is the Predalien. The Predalien’s film debut in "AVP2", along with its look, had been the subject of much fan speculation, and tight security surrounded the creature’s concept and design. The creature is not really a Predator/Alien hybrid. It is an Alien that incubated inside a Predator, taking on some characteristics of the host body. (It’s about 80 percent Alien, 20 percent Predator.) It has the Alien’s exoskeleton, acid blood, scorpion-like tail and inner tongue/striking mouth. On the Predator side, it has an additional Predator-like mandible, and an Alien-ized version of Predator “dreadlocks.”
More significantly, its Predator DNA has changed the Alien’s method of procreation. Forgoing the creature’s traditional Queen – egg – face-hugger – chest-burster – adult cycle, the Predalien has an even more aggressive and efficient breeding system.
The only thing stopping the onslaught of the Aliens and Predalien is a sole Predator. Unlike the hunter Predators seen in previous films, the "AVP2" version is a “cleaner” whose sole purpose is to erase any signs of an Alien or Predator presence on Earth.
In a way, the Predator becomes a kind of eco-warrior. “He doesn’t want to leave any carnage behind on Earth that could upset the planet’s balance,” says Davis. “That gives the character a certain dignity.” But this is not a kindler, gentler Predator; in fact, he is the most ruthless of that species. Unlike the cleaner’s predecessors, it does not follow the Predator’s hunter’s code of pursuing only armed prey; in "AVP2", many innocents fall victim to its relentless pursuit of the Aliens that have overrun Gunnison.
______________________
I bought this dvd and I really enjoyed the first AVP but I found this one ... as with most sequals ... now where near as good as the first nor the alien or predator movies. It was very fast faced and overall it was done mostly in the dark so it was really hard to get a visual of what the "new" creature was. I guess for the most part I liked it but I would only give it a 7 our of 10.

I agree with Void here on this one. It was too dark most of the movie - way to fast in the action and you never got a good look at the new alien. The point of this movie was that they combined but if you can't see it then what is the point. I love the AVP movie but I thought like the others, that part was was a sad one compared to part one. If they are going to make a part two to any movie it should always be better than the first one!

I'll agree to. The movie was a let down after the first one. I mean you saw Alien in all the movies the big black b***h was awesome! You saw the predator do his thing and the the two together - amazing but this last one was not up to the standard I had hoped for. It was to dark and to fast and I just couldnt watch the whole thing. If you must see it to prove it to yourself go for it but you will be disappointed to.

Agreed AVP two sucked so bad ... AVP , Predator and Alien were all good movies and Predator and Alien had legendary actors and were just simply awesome. AVP2 was like..... Horse s**t.
