Listen up Hollywood!!!!!!!, 2005-11-21
This soundtrack was sub par. For the sequel to the AVP series you must do the fans justice and get Alan Silvestri's material form Predator 1 and 2 and Jerry Goldsmiths and James Horners themes From Alien/ Aliens. Bring back the old themes and the next movie will be light years beyond the original and will become a modern Classic Like Predator 1 and At least Alien. You Guys remeber Freddy vs Jason listen to the music with Freddy and Jason themes every now and then throughout the movie. C'mon you rich boys make it right this time. Also guys the Predator's eyeballs look way to human not scary,at all. Use the old predator 1/ 2 colors!!!!!!!! Thanks Y'all.

Excellent film score!, 2004-11-09
Easily one of the best film scores of the year and worthy of an Oscar nomination, Harald Kloser puts together a great score for the film. The sound is incredible! Alan Silvestri's Predator themes are not present but this has some of the coolest and neatest music! I recommend this score!

"The End...Or Maybe Not ~ Harald Kloser", 2004-10-11
Varese Records takes us on a ride of escapism with "Alien Vs Predator", featuring the magnificent score of Harald Kloser, who also gave us "Thirteenth Floor" [1999] and "Day After Tomorrow" [2004] ~ just to name a few, there are more if you want to check them out. br / br /The music is a roller coaster experience "HANGING BODIES" ~ listen to "ALIEN VS. PREDATOR MAIN THEME", is almost hymn like in content, as if you're standing in cathedral witnessing a funeral procession passing by, very haunting ~ "ANTARCTICA", blends percussion, heavy brass and pure orchestration abound with lifting strings that echo back and forth ~ "TEMPLE", sends vibes of native American instruments mixed with solo piano and strings, very effective ~ "HISTORY OF THE WORLD", main theme comes through with alternate arrangements, under towing counterparts surface and a chorus quietly brings a new beginning of chanting that will give you chills ~ "ALIEN FIGHT", Kloser pulls out all the stops on this one, hold on tight for a fast and entertaining journey ~ "THE END...OR MAYBE NOT", featuring all cues remixed and setting up a possible sequel. br / br /Composer Harald Kloser brings film music to the maximum ~ been listening to this album over and over again, his depth and orchestral mix of tempo, drama and mood swings is incredible ~ look out James Horner and John Williams, Maestro Kloser is giving all the "film-score-buffs" pure satisfaction through his compositions...just the way we like 'em! br / br /Total Time: 38:03 on 18 Tracks ~ Varese Records 66605 ~ (8/31/2004)

With this soundtrack, we can't lose, 2004-10-05
Since i first knew about AVP, my first tought was "I hope it's not a crap", since i was fan of the Alien series. br /With this soundtrack it happen the same thing. All other scores were great, but i didn't knew if Harald Kloser was the right choice. br /Happily i was wrong. Kloser's music works really good with the movie, with its combination of orhestral and electronic sounds. br /As a standalone listening, is really a beautiful score, since the "Alien vs. Predator Main Theme" and the action themes like "Alien Fight" and the chorals in themes like "Alien Queen", all are really great themes. br /If you liked the way of Goldsmith, Horner, Goldenthal, Frizzell and Silvestri's work, you sure will like this one too. br /I really recomends this score. br /A better score than i tought it was going to be.
