First off, I'd like to say that the theater was filled with stupid little punk ass kid who probably had no idea what Predator was, which set a bad mood for the flick.

Anyways, the movie starts off good, no long drawn out intro sequences or any stupid bullshit like that, just straight into the first scene with a title. You quickly get a sense of "Wow what the hell is going on?!" as the start of the film rolls along.

The characters are ok, and I was surprised by the defacto leader's (adrian brody) acting, as well as the rest of the cast. Moving along with the movie, you start to realize that there really can't be much plot to this, which is good because that's how the original was in a way. There's a few twists and attention getters, but nothing straying too far off the good ol' "we're stuck in a jungle and getting hunted by something". To make things worse, the group suddenly realizes that they're not on earth...

Without trying to give away too much, there's a good amount of scenes in this flick that make you go "Whhaatt? No way..." And it starts to build a feeling of complete unbelievableness (i know it's not a word). In fact, I would go so far as to say that some of the same mistakes they made with the AVP films were made in this as well. Laurence Fishbourne's character and acting was very good, albeit brief.

All in all, it's a good film for the first 3/4 of it. Then it seems like, the writers got tired of having the characters get killed off, and decided to add some strange plot changes to make it "interesting". Ended up being less that I thought it would...

OVERALL GRADING: D-
WORTH SEEING IT IN THEATERS?: I'd say no. Because the best thing about seeing a movie in theaters is being part of the experience of it. Being part of this was just as upsetting as seeing AVP or AVPR. The graphics and costumes/makeup were good, but I bet they'd look just as good on a 60'' plasma.

Obviously these people are all from the newer generation of movie-goers. You guys just don't understand I guess...
