this film was ehhhh.

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2004)

Personally i liked this film, being a long time fan of all the Alien and predator movies and also an avid reader of the dark horse comics. i think they did a fantastic job of connecting the two different franchises. The second Predator movie was the only instance that an ALIEN can and was linked to a predator, (the alien skull aboard the predator spacecraft, the trophy), and of course the comics. sooo to have a connection between to different movie character and still come of OK was good i thought.
I would have liked to see the movie take place elsewhere, other than antartica, maybe have the movie be more like the original arcade game, How the humans and predators join forces to defeat the massive hive mind after the earth had been overrun by aliens.(Sequel Sequel) huh Anyway, i really enjoyed the connections made between ancient human cultures and the predators, most notably the Aztecs. (((SPOILER))) Also some people have bad mouthed the predators ability or lack thereof when fighting and combating the aliens. i for one will not badmouth them. First off, theses predators that are battling these aliens are the few exceptional but YOUNG worriors in there culture. These hunters were selected by the elders to battle the ultimate warriors in a test of there "Predatorness" get it. These predators have not battled aliens there entire lives, they have only trained for it by hunting other species. i understand then that the scene when the predator makes the woman armor and a weapon out of an Alien skull and tail would be totally bogus based on my previous statement. However i believe that the predator would try to be well learned in their enemy and there enemies attributes, hence the weapon making skills.
So please when viewing this film, please take into account you probably don't know s**t about the Aliens or the Predators. Don't bad mouth them or ill hunt you down pred style. peace
