The idea of two sci fi icons doing battle seems to be a sure thing,
but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
First of course is that it's not done in a dark, realistic style like the
original Alien and Predator.
Then there's the fact that the movie makes up it's own rules as to
how the aliens and predators operate. (Instant birth from the face
huggers).
Instead of setting the movie in the future, it's set this October,
which would be the future if we were living in the 80s.
The acting wasn't great. The lead actress is far from being Ripley.
The idea that a Predator would team up with a human is pretty
silly. Instead of giving her props, wouldn't the Predator kill her
since she's a formidable adversary?
The movie is quick, and sets up for a sequel (in a cheesy manner
likely thought up by a lame brain Fox exec).
