Blah...another let down

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2004)

Spoiler!!! I went to see this movie based on only seeing the first predator movie and being a fan of the old capcom game Alien vs Predator where you could be either the fast and lean predator, the tank/buff predator, or the uber Marine. I loved that game. Anyways, my buddy and I went to a midnight showing and left disappointed. On the fun factor, it was about 7-8 since the predators and aliens looked very cool, but that is about as far as the fun goes. If you are a fan of the series, some of the weak plot and lack of development might not make the movie seem rushed. It went too fast for me. It was too short and everything happened too fast. (Spoiler) The first couple of predator dudes died WAY too quick. Also, the plot seemed a mix mash of action genre plots. Think Alien meets Armagedden meets Lara Croft meets The Core meets pick your movie with the world is going to die if this gratuitous group of the "worlds best at everything" can't save the day. Too much is left unsaid and too much is just done wrong. The end is lamers. The sole human survivor, who almost didn't even go because it was "too dangerous," manages to survive bitter cold in Antarctica wearing just a t-shirt and jeans at the end of the movie. I guess since she survived even longer than uber predator she can withstand extreme cold with no problem. This movie gets an overall 4/10 from me. Wait for the DVD.
