I saw it today. I expected it to be fairly bad, and it was. I enjoyed it in a way. I got to laugh at it a bit, since they pretty much did go for a "let's do stuff that's so much nastier than has been done before even if it's silly" vibe. I'll not include an spoilers here, so no examples.
The one thing that bothers me most is that Fox has the Alien and Predator franchises and they combine them for box office gold, and yet they limit the budget horribly. Watching the movie, you can tell that they spent 1/3 what they'd spend on an average action movie. Perhaps less. That's not fair to the audience.
Anyway, only see it if your attitude meets the following criteria:
1) You don't care if this movie is inconsistent with the previous movies. 2) You don't care if this movie is inconsistent within itself. 3) You don't care that you never really get a good look at an alien, a predator, or a predalien. 4) You don't care.
Just make sure you don't care when you see this movie. I saw it with two friends, leaving the wives at home. After, we discussed everything that was silly and wrong with this movie, and finally I said, ""Okay. Let me throw this at you. What could they have done worse? Can you think of one way to change this movie and actually make it worse?" None of us could come up with one.
