Ok Reichgard, You have several problems with your problems.

First: the other humans went to the town center because they heard for the military also, you could hear the colonel on one of their radios when they pulled up in the truck.

Second: I the previous alien movies the aliens not only hunted for reproduction, they also killed randomly, as if for sport or simply because they are pissy little bastards.

Third: The huge ship you are speaking of was leaving earth’s orbit because this film picked up right were AVP left off (ship leaving after dropping Queen alien in the drink). The small ship separated from the large ship that was presumably heading home, and it was this small ship that crashed on earth.

Fourth: The bomb in AVP didn’t explode when it was remove, the predator armed it, and then removed and threw it.

Lastly: The Predalien did not turn human babies into aliens, he simply put alien larva into them, you will remember the waitress was not pregnant and she produced three aliens herself.

In regards to your second post: The predator was armed when arriving at the downed ship, he just was not aware that there were aliens on the ship and realized that he would need stronger weapons to deal the the alien masses.

I hope I have helped clear things up for you. If I am wrong in any of this let me know.

Oh and I did enjoy this film, it was a bit of mindless fun that was more in the style of the old films.

One last thing,was the predator in this film so poor that he couldn’t afford his own weapons?Why he need to arm himself in the crashed ship?

Agree with the fact that it’s improved from AVP,but many things don’t make sense at all.

Humans, are real dumb,not suspecting of nothing…why would everyone go to the town center if the civilians know that there’s the thick of battle?running away driving is a much better idea…why the cars were all empty?ok,the colonel told them,but only the sheriff knew that there’s gonna be evac in the city center.so,why were all survivors in the city center?

Aliens:As fans of A,P,AVP series,you all know that aliens hunt for the queen,for reproduction,cause they need hosts for the facehuggers,if there’s no queen present{in this case},they just hunt for needs(self defense,etc),their acid blood could sustain them millenia,they don’t need human as food,so why they keep attacking humans like that?

Predator:In AVP,the ship carrying the corpse of the deceased predator(with alien inside)was in a huge ship,and there will be hundred,if not thousands of predators inside,where’s that ship?Why change it?Where’s the old Leader predator?The ship was leaving earth’s orbit,in this film,it was going near earth,why?
Besides,all predator would disarm themselves in their own ship,why the predator skinning the trophy was fully armed?And for god’s sake,blowing a hole in their own ship?Even the dumbest human wouldn’t do that,not mentioning these are much highly evolved creatures…
Why the self destruction bomb didn’t explode?The death of the predator would make no difference,as you recall in AVP,the bomb would explode even if it left the predator’s body.Well,the predalien must be some bomb expert,knowing how to disactivate bombs I guess…

What’s really ridiculous is the ability of the predalien to transform human babies into 4-5 baby aliens,you’ve gotta be kidding me….A baby can turm in 4 aliens?You tell me that…You’ve no need of queens anymore,get a predalien,grab some pregnant women and there you go!!The queen should eat the guy who thought of this idea…

Like alot of you, i am also a huge fan of the originals. I thought the AVP:R was way better than AVP.
I dont think wer will ever get what the James Cameron, ridley scott and John McTiernan delivered. I mean these are top notch directors.

Why dont these movie producers pull out the cash for a better script, director and cast. They want a blockbuster with little money spent.

I think we should just appreciate we can still go to the pictures to see Predator and Aliens on the big screen.

I say lets join the writers.

As I read the review and the comments a simple question comes to my mind, does
anyone remmember the first Alien and predator movies? ANYONE AT ALL?

I can’t believe what I’m reading, the Alien and Predator movies are not just regular
monster movies they’re all about CHARACTERS, who can forget Ripley, Bishop, Hudson,
Vasquez, Dallas, Ash and Parker? (just to mention some).
Ok I admit that Predator’s characters are more iconic action movie types, but still that’s
not an excuse to replace Ripley, one of the strongest female characters ever made for a
friggin pizza delivery boy!!!

… Well I could go on and on with this subject, but there’s no point to it, thanks to AvP
and AvP-R the remaining dignity of this 2 alien races it’s completely gone.

When I was a kid, people got really excited about Rocky, and Flash Gordon. I remember seeing people punching the air as they left the theater, now I see rolling eyes and smirks.
What levels of fulfillment are people requiring from the silver screen these days? Was it that too much faith was pledged early on ending in a confused forlorn mess of disenchanted cynicism?
I have not seen this film yet, but I am going with an open mind while not expecting to discover the meaning of life.

The Asian lady at the end was Miss Yutani. Yutani is one half of “The Corporation,” aka Weyland Yutani Industries, from the Alien franchise. There a fairly evil big corporation who own and operate nearly everything in the future. They were the ones that owned the space rigs in Alien and later were trying to capture the aliens for use and study.

At some point in the far far future (Alien: Resurrection) they were bought out, sometimes its said that Wal-Mart bought them out (novels).

In AVP Weyland (the other half) was played by Lance Henrickson.

So AvP-R was just giving us Yutani to AvPs Weyland. The start of something big and evil.

Please do not go see this movie, if you liked the first one then you wont like this one. Not because it wasn’t connected to the first one, but mostly just cause it was a steaming pile of crap. Way too many shallow characters and infinite plot holes could never be made up by some so-so action/violence. I think that the only reason why there was only one predator is that they couldnt afford more :p. Oh well it was fun to laugh at.
