Burseq:I know a fair bit about the Yautja (Predators) and how their society works, and a bit about the Aliens themselves. To me, it is painfully clear that this guy did no background research at all, and maybe only heard about the Predator films from a mate rather than actually watched them.
If he had, he would have known that the Yautja are in fact cold blooded (only in the hottest months this happens, and this year it grows hot...) so there is absolutley no way in hell that they would touch down in a place like Antartica!

<font color=plum>That was the first glaring problem I saw too. It was stated repeatedly in the two movies that the Predators are drawn by "heat and conflict". I have to agree that Antarctica would literally be "the LAST place on Earth" you would expect to see a Predator.</font>

They also actually haven't had much to do with Humanity until recently. They tend to avoid human colonies as they are more dnagerous to hunt than the Aliens since we have all guns and stuff and are smarter.

<font color=plum>I'm not so sure about this point. The Predator in the 2nd movie certainly didn't seemed to be bothered about entering a "human colony". He entered one of the largest and most heavily populated "colonies" possible.
As for humans being more dangerous than Aliens....mmmmmmaybe, I guess. But again, Predator 2 wasn't bothered by it. He took out several gangmembers, a drug lord and his bodyguards, and even a secret military unit that knew his fighting tactics and came equipped with super high-tech weaponry and technology to offset it. Yet the Predator STILL jumped down right in the middle of this elite, secret military unit and wiped them out like a bunch of schoolyard bullies.
I'm not doubting Burseq's knowledge, I'm just going by the first two movies (never read the comics). I always felt like the first movie may have been a young, mature Predator that was still perfecting his battle skills while the second movie dealt with a seasoned veteran that was capable of handling the increased challenge of heavily armed, multiple opponents.
Oh well, I still liked the movie, despite it's flaws. I do agree with the 2nd guy that - if the movie says Alien vs Predator - then let's see some serious fighting, mayhem and general carnage between these two deadly alien races. It's a
GUY movie - we don't need no steeeeenkin' plot. Just give us High Action/Low Plot and we're good to go. [img]graemlins/fighting.gif[/img] </font>
