I wonder if P.W.S.A will stand by his word and have those deleted scenes make this movie worth it.
either way I know I'll buy it because of price and the love of seeing Predators on the big screen.

Only if he completely re-edits the film and puts in more gore will I buy this DVD.

It needs something added back in to regarner my interest. I saw the movie and it didn't do much for me.
If additional scenes / supplements are there, I'll be in as I'm a huge Alien / Predator fan.

Hopefully we will know in advance if a DC will follow the single dvd release. They will need to add back some of the deleted scenes in order to get my $$.

Remember how everyone was anticipating the new Star Wars prequal,...and how much of a let down Episode I was?
THIS is MY Episode I.
You know, I tried to give it a chance. I really did. Went to see it twice, ...but oh my God. I'm a huge Alien & Predator fan. Heck, I have the AIM Screen Name "AliensVsPredator". This movie just made me sad in so many levels. I could rant on and on about it, but I'll spare you all.
Yes...I'm buying the DVD. ugh

I'm interested to see what the Paul W. Anderson cut looks like if and when it ever comes out.

yeah, he wrote the damn story, and there were just too many logic flaws and inconsistencies that i walked away from the theater feeling cheated. patching the movie with a few extra bits here and there won't fix what is inherently wrong -- a bad script.

Maybe at the least it will make me appreciate my Quadrilogy set more.

This could have been a great film if it was R rated

This breaking news just in . . . Paul WS Anderson has ackowledged Fox's announcement regarding a one disc, essentially bare bones release of his opus "Aliens Vs. Predator." Anderson has speculated in the past that a Director's Cut would be released fixing all of the "studio forced" cutting that drew less than stellar reviews from critics. Anderson has announced that his version of Aliens Vs. Predator will be released in a special marketing event being called "Paul WedneSday Anderson Day." The special release pattern will occur on a Wednesday and will also include the Director's Cut of Event Horizon.
ABOB TEFF DISCLAIMER: (Before anybody starts getting suckered in, this is a jab at Anderson who has long claimed that their is another cut or a special edition of Event Horizon as well.)
I will skip this release and hold out hope beyond hope that there actually is a better cut coming some day.
