In all honesty, I wasn't actually expecting all that much from this movie, and by the looks of it, the film makers weren't expecting all that much either.
There has been no effort put in to any part of this film, making it entirely a 'by the numbers' movie.
Fairly average script, nothing special, but nothing really terrible. Extreme close ups of the actions scenes, making it near impossible to see said action. Stupid goofy mean people that can be used as fodder to be killed off. A ridiculous amount of 'homages' to the rest of the franchise, primarily Aliens (to the point where the Reiko Aylesworth's kid has an English accent, despite living in America and being brought up by an All American Dad). No real action starting until nightfall (in a town without power) so you really can't see anything. Most alien action taking place either off camera, or through diffused pov's like rain washed windows. Not one but TWO massive explosions at the beginning of the movie that NO ONE even notices. Explosions in the middle of town that people drive past without noticing. Stupid Sheriff. Stupid Ex-Con who will go on to prove himself and therefore be able to make a valid contribution to society. Slutty blonde chick who gets killed off way too late. LOTS of CGI. Silly throw away tie-in Yutani reference at the end. Complete lack of realistic actions from the Predator, Aliens and Humans. And so on....
Although, I never realized how good Reiko Aylesworth's body was until this film. It has that much going for it.
Oh, and I rolled my eyes so much during the film that I thought it should have been called AVPRE (Alien Versus Predator Rolling Eyes).
Balls!
