I know a lot of people have slated this film - but personally I'd recommend giving it a chance. The action scenes are very well done, and the special effects are impressive. The film follows straight on from the first AVP, but there is a few minutes of overlap so it's not really imperative to see the first one before this one - none of the characters are carried over either (excluding 2 predators heh!). I really enjoyed it, it's brilliantly entertaining even if a little wooden in places - but if you're just looking for an action film where you don't need to think that hard to know what's going on, you just want some nice explosions and impressive splatter scenes - with a load of aliens and the ultimate hunter thrown in for little more spice - then you'll enjoy this too :-)

As far as BluRays go I think this is one of the best uses of it I have seen. The picture quality is incredibly crisp and even tiny details are rendered perfectly. This made the film a joy to watch, and coupled with the truely excellent sound it was a really immersive experience. At some points (if you have surround sound) you'd be forgiven for looking round, thinking you heard a little alien creeping somewhere around your room. Overall - for £15 I think this is well worth it :-)
