Not bad at all

Rating: 6/10 (10 February 2006)

This is certainly more interesting than "Predator II" or the final (?) "Alien" resurrection. There are several plot holes (like the minutes thing noted above, and the absurd connection of the Julian/Gregorian calender to the Aztec -- 2004 just doesn't translate), but the basic plot makes sense. There is occasional plot weirdness, as when Stafford and his buds suddenly pull out their automatic weapons as soon as the hunter's armament appears in the crypt -- and why were they kept there, anyway instead of being carried in. But, in the main it plays.
Lex (very well done by Ms. Lathan) might well be a lot irritated at the winners, having lost her entire team, and not all to the Big Slobber. I can't really see her explaining this to the cops when she gets back home: ("You ain't gonna believe this, guys." "Well, try us anyway, miss.") I thought there was going to be the same problem with "Cursed" and that headless corpse on the kitchen floor, but they cleaned that right up. Too bad they could not have done something equitable here as well.
There is some considerable difference between "bad guys" and "evil doers" and certainly the outcome is predictable. Getting there had to be more fun for the audience than for the characters.
