Okay, we knew it would be strange and well, you know the last sequel wasn't so great. Here's what I had a problem with. Warning, spoilers rules don't apply, they just don't.
I had to admit that the costuming was great for the creatures, lotsa scary goo and all. The Predator weapons were really fantastic and well done. Well, accept for when they suit up the heroine with a Alien Head shield and the lance made of tail, those looked pretty bad. Also, the whole,"yeah we chose to be on the Predator side as a lesser of two evils", didn't really do it for me. Pretty flat.
Problems: okay, how is it that the larval aliens can transform so quickly into adults? In all the other films, the metamorphose takes several days and yet that also helps build the suspense up a bit. From the time the hosts are attacked in the upper chamber, it seems like a few hours has passed.
Overall, if you like the effects, that's what you watch it for. The creatures had some great costuming. But plot wise, you are left hanging in dead airspace, not suspense.
