                                    I don't think they are, with the exception of Paul Anderson's AVP, think about it, Predator 2 was great, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection where leaps but I enjoyed them to some degree. AVP tried to have a good story, but as with its sequel I think it was a bad move to set it in present day. But yeah I think Namely Alien Resurrection and the first AVP are darkening timeless concepts for you.
