Alien vs. Predator

Rating:
1. The whole bit about why the pyramids exist and how civilizations connect—passable. It actually follows its own internal logic, which I kind of dig.
2. The concept of the hunt, where Predators prove their worth to join the adult ranks—really solid stuff. It feels very similar to Native American legends regarding tribal structure and rites of passage.
3. The human crew—absolute garbage. Honestly, the only saving grace is that we aren't stuck with some invincible hero type like Schwarzenegger. Though, realistically, they should've had at least some decent gear if they were planning to head under all that ice.
4. The hunting scenes—pretty bad. It’s rare to see this done right; usually, Predators stalk humans first and then suddenly just stop... whatever. This felt off.
5. The Alien Queen—come on. How did she manage to break through tons and tons of ice? What was she using, an icebreaker? Looking at her physical structure, there is zero chance she could punch through that much mass; she should have stayed buried down there, dead.
6. The Predator grabbing the Alien—give me a break! If Ripley managed to handle that Facehugger crap in the second movie, what are the odds that this massive Predator couldn't? I mean, just minutes after getting hit by that first chestburster, she grabbed a new F-hugger with one hand and snapped its neck, didn't she?
7. Setting up two potential sequels—the Alien Queen sinking into the ocean and the Predators getting an Alien on their ship. It's laughable. Sure, the first one might work because Aliens can survive in water, but the second one is total shit.
I'm disappointed. What a waste.
