A lukewarm sci-fi film and a big disappointment to alien and Predator fans

Rating: 5/10 (28 September 2009)

Sigh................when i saw this movie for the first time, i was blown away, how, how could they possibly screw up a movie as bad as they did. I was speechless, any plot that the movie was supposed to have they threw right out the window. I mean, WHAT the hell were they thinking using the kind of storyline that they did. There was no depth to it, and they simply crammed it in there because they had to. It was pointless, except for explaining why the aliens were hunted.
The first mistake they made was. hiring Paul W.S Andersmuck, sorry, Anderscum, argh, Anderson. He is the director from those, thoughtless, awful, and pointless resident evil movies. That boy has no idea how to make a good sci-fi movies, and focuses WAY to much on the visuals instead of story.
their second mistake was the cast besides Sanaa Lathan (who i thought kicked butt) the rest of the actors were just out of place in the whole thing, saying stupid pointless things, making stupid decisions, and just being complete idiots.
Mistake number three was the predators. Come ON people!!!! They were AWFUL!! compared to the original predators, they were kittens! and......and LOL! HAHAHA!! they were Teenagers! There is NO WAY that the original ones would have given a second thought to having a human "Side Kick", or saving its life for that matter. There is a scene in the movie where i thought that they were going to kiss! They lacked the ferocity that they had in the previous movies, and their independence. They were always only on the "half-alert", and many times they were ambushed by aliens, and surprised by people! Anderson made them into the prey by the end of the movie! The aliens were tolerable, except that they were brainless a lot of the time. Which clearly insulted the aliens in the first two alien movies. I will give him this though, some of the fight scenes in the movie were pretty well done, and the visuals spectacular. Somebody who has never seen the original Alien and Predator movies may find this movie somewhat entertaining. This movie is not all bad. There is some impressive stuff that has to do with visuals and violence. But that is ALL. To those who have seen the original Alien and Predator movies, I would highly suggest that you stay away from this movie. The storyline, the actions and nature of the predators, and the dialogue is a huge kick in the groin to the other movies. It will insult your intelligence. If you have seen the original movies and liked this one................well...........what the heck, it takes all kinds.
A disappointing, very poorly directed film at the maximum, and a huge bucket of water thrown on the flames of the Alien-Predator legacies.
