Alien vs. Predator

[RoadDawg]

Ok.. I have a question. Does anyone else feel weird going to movies by themselves? I have no one that will see this movie with me and I'm not sure I wanna go alone. My fiance HATES these movies and has vowed not to go and I've done the same for her "chicky" movies.

[edweird]

sounds like its time for roaddawg to get a trade in the old Gf for one that is not such a prude :P

[Miscue]

My first thoughts were: Let's get a guy with a cool accent. Alright, let's get another. Oh wait, we need one more!

The main predator was pretty funny, I was laughing at the stuff he was doing.

The shifting pyramid thing was lame.

Is it me, or did those predators die way too fast and too easy?

Why was the chemical engineer reading the ancient writing? And did he ever do his job as a chem engineer?

A bunch of people died, I don't even remember who they were or why they were there.

Wait a second, I thought predators only killed armed people. Why were they all armed in the first place, going on an expedition in Antarctica?

Why did Bishop suck? He was lame.

The alien shield and spear was cool.

Why wasn't the chick cold at the end?

How come nobody was breathing out steam or appear to be cold?

How come the tunnel was ribbed?

Why was the baby alien incubation time so fast?

How do the aliens get so big so fast w/o eating that much?

Why didn't they bring breathing equipment since they're 2000 ft down?

Why did the super cool metal alloy claws melt?

How did the chick get home?

How the heck did she kill an alien with a stick when blaster pulse rifles have a difficult time?

If there were only like a dozen sacrifices - why were there so many aliens going up the pyramid?

How can they let someone out of the pyramid - and be consistent with the Alien movies where nobody knew about the Aliens before? She's got a super-spear to show for it.

With the information presented on predators, why did they hunt humans in Predator 1/2 ? Wouldn't it be a waste of their time?

Critics on Yahoo are slamming this movie.

[edweird]

The shifting pyramid thing was lame.
Eh your right... but im used to movies like cube so it didnt annoy me so much. If they explained that it moved every 100 minutes or something I would of bought the quick jestation thing

Is it me, or did those predators die way too fast and too easy?
Earth to Miscue: Aliens are the ultimate killing machine


Why was the chemical engineer reading the ancient writing? And did he ever do his job as a chem engineer?
IIRC the chem engeneer didnt actually read the writing just repeated what he heard earlier.

A bunch of people died, I don't even remember who they were or why they were there.
Who cares... more blood for the blood god.

Wait a second, I thought predators only killed armed people. Why were they all armed in the first place, going on an expedition in Antarctica?
The drilling team was armed, and took the inital shots. And who in there right mind would not be armed when they are merc'd out by the mega corp to explore this creepy deserted iceberg... Tundra wookies are behind every showdrift!
Then the bodygaurds of Weiland were armed cause well that is what they get paid to do.
The chick? who knows... she could just be a gun nut that beleives in packing heat just like me

Why did Bishop suck? He was lame.
Cause well he is human and has cancer... that pretty much makes anyone suck(o2 that is)

The alien shield and spear was cool.
Yep pretty much was... although in the comics and books some rare preds craft whole suits of armor outta alien exosketon. pimp factor x100

Why wasn't the chick cold at the end?
who the heck knows... possibly the look of preds face put her turkey thermometers into a non working state.

How come nobody was breathing out steam or appear to be cold?
cause snow is to expensive already... who the heck knows...

How come the tunnel was ribbed?
ever cut a 2000 meter tunnel in solid ice with a space based lazer? yeah I didnt think so... lemme know how it looks after ya do that feat.

Why was the baby alien incubation time so fast?
How do the aliens get so big so fast w/o eating that much?
who wants to sit though 13 hours of blair witch to wait for embryos to hatch? Maybe this genus of alien incubates faster or some other movie magic

Why didn't they bring breathing equipment since they're 2000 ft down?
in korea we had to communicate wearing gassmasks... I prefer movie physics land where I dont have to have flash backs of translating gassmask speech

Why did the super cool metal alloy claws melt?
cause if they didnt wouldnt it be just a tad more easy for the youngins to ginsu up some alien dogs

How did the chick get home?
remember that whole icecutter ship that was left behind when they brought out the snow-cat vehicles? And the fact they ditched the vehicles on the ridge outside the village.

How the heck did she kill an alien with a stick when blaster pulse rifles have a difficult time?
Predator tech > pulse rifles... after all who designed what specifly to kill what? Colonial space marines designed the pulse rifle to kill other ppl not a race of exoskeleton clad insectoid killing machines.

If there were only like a dozen sacrifices - why were there so many aliens going up the pyramid?
ya must mean the flash back scenes of the aztec village... simple explanation... aliens got out into the general population of aztec land. as for the events in the movie timeframe they only hatched 12 to 18ish warrior caste aliens


How can they let someone out of the pyramid - and be consistent with the Alien movies where nobody knew about the Aliens before? She's got a super-spear to show for it.
Um lets site an example... Sarah Conner(terminator psycho woman) who the hell listened to her? And who says they dont kill her when she returns alone to the ship with some stick she dont know how to open... "hey guys I just lead the team to their bloody deaths wanna come with me so I can prove it to ya all?" :bang: dead psycho guide woman

With the information presented on predators, why did they hunt humans in Predator 1/2 ? Wouldn't it be a waste of their time?
what I know from reading the comic series and a novel or two is that this hunt was a sort of tribal right of trial to join the clan aka "blooding"... Aleins are very deadly things but they lack the creativity that humans have which makes them a diffrent type of hunt for more seasoned stalkers of the pack... pure brutality is left for the newbies(avp) and seasoned stalks in open society are left to seasoned hunters(pred1&2).

blahhhh

i thought this movie was a waste of my money. they kill off the the predators WAY to easy and make them look like whimps. after i saw one alien deal with the second predator i woulda sent my grandmother to fight the 3rd predator. Now the story line. WHAT STORY LINE. there was absolutely none at all. The acting itself was sub-par at best. at the end i was expecting a kiss scene with the predator and the woman, which woulda made the movie a lil kinky with inter-species tounge action, but yet it didnt happen. I would deffidently say dont see it in the theaters but rent it.

I watched it last night and i really liked it.
some of the thigns in there were kinda cheesy...but the predetor and the human workin together was a cool thing to stick in there...i think it could have been better, maybe if they made it a bit longer and not rush into everyting...but all in all it was a good movie.

[DiSoRdeR]

*Spoiler Warning!! If you didnt see the flick, please skip my post*


Nice Pic. Did i miss something in the movie? Other than at the end of the movie, when the Queen Alien stabs the Predator with her tail, i dont remember seeing how the last Predator could have gotten implanted with an egg...

Ya...i dident get that either...anyone know about that one?

[edweird]

that was the pred that calmly ginsu'd the alien climbing down the wall... then they cut away from the scene when the 2nd facehugger jumps at him while he is branding himself. So for some stupid reason the preds didnt think to check him for STD's when they were stating at the human girl or ignored it so they could have something more fun to play with while on the ship.
