Watching these films for the first time in a long time, as Wraith's fanedit was a really enjoyable experience. I'm not close enough to the original studio edits to fully appreciate all the work that Wraith put into this Fanedit. However after watching this edit, it did feel like a cohesive extended film, rather than 2 films bolted together. Well done Wraith!

As I told Wraith, I once attempted this mash-up edit myself. I found the final product to lack a cohesive narrative, to be overly long and ultimately headache inducing. AVP is a concept that should have worked right out of the gate. Where the first movie suffers is that it played it safe with a PG-13 rating. The second movie goes for a hard R, but has some of the worst human characters in the history of both previous franchises.

Wraith has masterfully trimmed what doesn't work, while successfully expanding upon what does work with the inclusion of footage from Apocalypto and Cocoon, Some of the edits are seamless, while others are quite noticeable do to stark difference in video quality. That aside, I didn't let that affect my enjoyment of the film. I had a blast with this edit!

I'd love to see a remastered version with improved video quality and credit graphics. But this version has a fun, almost retro feel that you get used to after a while.

Wraith had streamlined the two Alien vs. Predator movies into a more cohesive narrative. As the character of Colonel Samuel Trautman (Richard Crenna) stated in the movie First Blood, "An artist takes a block of stone and cuts away at it to reveal the work of art beneath." (I may have paraphrased the original words from the film.) Wraith has done the same thing with the two AVP movies... he had chislled away at the "rough stone" to reveal the "work of art" beneath, thus exposing the finished masterpiece.

Wraith's usage of footage from Cocoon and other media was essentially the only realistic means of filling out the story to include those scenes that had not been filmed for the original AVP movies.

This fanedit as yet another example of why the FanEdit website exists, to show alternative expressions of art.

Well done Wraith!

i was disappointed with AVP and for the most part enjoyed AVPR despite some scenes, but this fanedit removes the disappointing parts of the films, and focuses on the best of both films, and creates a story that respects the source material of each franchise.

this edit does use scenes from the 2006 film Apocalypto to help build the history that AVP tries to convey. I found the use of these scenes interesting, and helpful to the story. The scenes themselves do seem ever so slightly out of place, but that is not the fault of Wraith.

The pace stays consistent with the narrative. Both AVP and AVPR had pacing problems due to unnecessary scenes and dialogue that jarred with the rest of the film. In Outbreak, the removal of these scenes create a clearer mental picture, and a more overall focused theme, While AVPR itself does have a different theme and location, Wraith has done a great job in blending both movies together to keep a cohesive story.

Gotta say this was a cool edit! All the best parts of each movie were kept and all of the excess removed. It's not HD but I didn't feel like I was missing out because of how dark the second half is anyway. That is not a slight against Wraith, but AVPR as the movie proper was filmed so dark.

The audio was all worked perfectly and if I had to point to one thing that was off, it was in the back half of the movie when the group of people who were trying to get out of town split into 2 groups. One went to the center for an air lift to get them and the other went to the hospital to get a helicopter themselves. The group that went to the hospital was missing a person (at least 1 that I noticed) by the time they got to the roof and we have no idea what happened to that guy?
