Synopsis:

This aims to turn the ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR movies into a single and WORTHY member of BOTH franchises.

Intentions:

AIM to turn the AvP movies into a single and WORTHY member of BOTH franchises by removing over exposition removing repetition removing misplaced humor removing all teenagers as much as possible injecting better pace by reordering and trimming scenes adding more plot using footage from Outbreak scoring a FEW dead sections with music to add atmosphere and tie into franchise

Additional Notes:

AvP 1 hr 14min 49 AvPr 1 hr 09min 29 New Title Sequence 2 min 14 sec Apocalypto footage 1 min 59 sec Cocoon footage 20 sec Outbreak Footage 3 min 41 sec New End Titles 4 min 29 sec AvP OUTBREAK v2.02c Extended opening PLUS faneditors feedback changes. THIS VERSION replaces the original 1.061 and 2.02 release which are no longer available. It now incorporates an additional 46 trims and changes plus over 70 score enhancements including both Predator movies which were not previously used. This in fact makes a HUGE difference and am suprise I did not do this until pointed out to me by the faneditors…DOH! This very much turns this into a worth franchise memeber in my view. This also includes the re-enstatement of the elaborately concieved and reluctantly dropped Myan concieved opening which originally drove me to undertake this fanedit. I have made a few minor tweaks to this as well and removed a number of rendring glitches and made other corrections etc and additional trims spotted by fellow faneditors totaling just under 3 minutes. Overall running time though is identical to the previous version due to some re-incorporated scenes and slightly longer end titles. These additional changes are marked* in the description below which is followed by the score enhancements seperately in order NOT to confuse.
