Alien vs. Predator blew big donkey balls.

Just a crappy mish-mash movie to suck your money out of you pocket.

Spoiler: The plot was the worst thing about the movie. I mean, some might not notice it as movie is only about 60 minutes long, but c'mon. An Aztec/Cambodian/Egyptian pyramid under Antartica? WTF? Antartica was never populated by anyone and was frozen for centuries before humans were around. Ancient maps that showed in unfrozen are from dinosaur days. If the pyramid was around before the other 3, why would the other pyramids be less advanced? Why would there be no mention of Aliens or Predators in them?

The scientists have to be the stupidest scientists ever. Hmm.. I put in today's date to unlock the combination, exactly 100 years after those other people mysteriously disapeared. *shrug* Oh well. Wouldn't proper scientists stop and catalog everything before continuing? And not go forward in case they ruin or contaminate the site?

I like how they make a big show out of how the Alien blood is acid, but then the main character is able to carry the Alien skull like a shield. Odd. Speaking of the main character, what was her name again? Hell, besides Wexler and Sebastien, I don't remember anybody's names. Sad.

Remember in Predator 2, Gary Busey knows all about the Predator, how his technology works, how to trap him, etc.. How come none of that is continued in Alien vs. Predator? Couldn't Wexler, with all his power and money, answer what's-her-face's question with "Yes, I know what they are, that's why all my men have semi-automatic weapons with laser sights"?

Sure the fight scenes were cool, but it didn't have the creepy pacing of any of the originals. I just left feeling like a tool for being suckered into something that obviously not aimed towards my demographic anymore.

Oh yeah, the girl with 1 layer of clothes in the Antartic would have a lot of Adrenaline coursing through her blood keeping her warm. Plus she walks towards a vehicle that's conviniently left on. No mystery there.

Go watch something else. Like the originals instead.
