I quite liked it,thought it was quite good.
Im not so sure about another,they're just rinsing out an idea for the money.
Shame because Predator's a really cool alien character,what with all his Technology(Gadgets) and stalking skills.
If they invaded Earth we'd be screwed.

I watched it recently, and a few things struck me about it:
  • The beginning was good - it quite caught the atmosphere of the original Alien with the Forest setting: creepy, and nerve-inducing.
  • Why only one Predator though? It strikes me that there would be a fair few others up for that party,
  • The "R" rating -- it's a really gory movie. There's a lot of blood. Sadly, this destroyed the atmosphere for me as one of the best things about the original Alien film was that you never actually saw anyone die.
  • WTF happened to the gestation period for the aliens? It seemed to take about 6 hours for the first batch, then as little as 20 minutes for the hospital scene. Yeah, it's clearly not real, but when it conflicts with the canon, it loses its consistency and believability.

Essentially, this was a zombie movie, but without the social comment.

The gestation period changed in this movie because it wasnt the normal alien queen that was laying the eggs. It was the hybrid alien\predator or Predalien if u will, so its feasible that the gestation period would be different since we dont actually know how long it takes a Predator to be knocked up and give birth.

I for one enjoyed the movie, it had tons of action, and none of the BS of the first one where they tried to show u some history of the Aliens and Predators on our planet. This one was pretty much, "You know what an Alien is. You know what a Predator is. Lets let them loose on a small town and watch them go apesh1t." Which I totally dug.

originally they going to call the movie, Aliens vs. Predator vs. Chuck Norris, but they couldn't make a movie that lasted more than 4 seconds.
