Who payed the critics

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Seriously, what did I watch? The movie is so dark, I could see anything for 90% of the time.

I love a bad movie if it's heart is in the right place, but seriously this is so terrible. Even the most hardcore Alien/Predator fan like myself will hate this. To take the greatest monsters with all there elegance to a teen slasher film is possibly the worst production idea ever, who the hell green lit the script. I love teen slashers, but theses worlds don't exist together. Absolute junk, the directors should be ashamed to have screwed with it in such a demeaning fashion. And the exposure is so dark you can't see anything anyway, which I guess is a good thing. I quite literally wanted everyone to die so I could stop seeing this abomination. And by the the end it felt like the directors did as well and just gave up. An absolute horror.

Before this, I just watched Aliens vs. Predator, the 1st movie. No problems. But this one was so dark, you couldn't see anything. Every action with the predator and aliens was way too dark. I turned all my lights out, and tried to watch it in darkness, but even that didn't help. Were the computer effects so pathetic they had to hid it all behind darkness, or was it an artistic choice. Either way, epic fail. Oh yeah, and very irritating writing. Nobody ever could answer what happened, and nobody was wondering what "the monsters" were and where did they come. As if nobody had had any thoughts. The city of imbeciles got attacked.

Boring script. It lacked all imagination. It meant that any attempts at good effects or good acting were totally lost in dire dialogue and emotionless characters. The aliens and the predators were not scary in the least. They were too easy to kill. The whole movie lacked suspense and any dark atmosphere. The ending was confusing. On the other hand there was a fair amount of violent creature antics and the use of computers was very restrained. It looked better than the previous battle that had no relevance to anything. At least this one was set here and now although it could have been set in the future equally well. It is good that it wasn't set at the North Pole or whatever. It was cheesy which excused some of the bad points. Overall I would say that this is not a total waste of time but it is not productive either. A step up from the previous as it is cheesy and violent although lacking atmosphere.
