If they had turned this into a game, it actually might have been fun—a bit lame, sure, but definitely an interesting concept.
So, here’s how it shakes out—the Predators are essentially the race that arrived on Earth and handed humanity civilization, complete with temples designed specifically for dueling with Aliens. They go into these ancient sites three at a time without even carrying guns. And then you have these characters trekking 4,000 meters below the ice to explore a temple buried for millennia—carrying rifles???
And then there are those Predators who just go through the motions—most of them are total bores—but one actually manages to be a standout, even if he ends up looking like a complete blowhard in the end.
And then there’s that scientist—you know, the one who suddenly develops some massive ego and decides her best course of action is to go sword fighting with lizards...
Look, even a total amateur like me can see that the last one actually held its own—sometimes people like me just have a better handle on certain things than you'd expect.
What’s stopping us from assuming the Predators established a civilization on Earth specifically to serve as a "hunting ground"? If that black monolith in *2001: A Space Odyssey* works logically within its own universe, then the Predators could easily utilize similar means for this purpose—assuming, of course, you're looking at this through the lens of fiction. If you aren't, then move the topic over to "Natural Sciences," ask people about the origins of life on Earth, and see if anyone has actually spotted an Alien.
As for the actual plot—those three Predators are basically just "lizards" who have to hunt down the Aliens and escape the pyramid to complete an initiation rite to join the "hunters pack." And that woman? She isn't some scientist; she’s a survival specialist trained for Arctic environments. There wasn't anything particularly extreme enough to warrant her jaw falling off. As for the humans bringing weapons into the pyramid—look, if I were in their shoes, I’d be packing heat too. The only real logic gap is the Alien Queen attacking the Predator while he had a future drone implanted inside him—though even that works, since the Queen likely saw him as a direct threat. You get it now, right?
