    The whole woman and predator friendship is based on the character of Machiko Noguchi, from the predator comic book series. In the comic books the story doesn't have anything to do with a temple but she does kill an alien and the dying predator marks her so when the ship arrives on the now desolate planet due to the alien attack, they recognize the symbol on her and she goes and lives with predators and gives the readers a cool insight of the predator life. A cool strong female character in the Predator stories similar to Weaver' character in Alien.

      to be fair, no scientist would find that structure under the Antarctic ice and think it was made by humans. There's not many scenarios so crazy that the ONLY logical solution is ancient aliens, but that would be one of them. And finding out that aliens exist in this manner would be pretty terrifying for all kinds of reasons.... they're right to be scared, but wrong to go about any of their explorations in the way they did. IRL they'd probably call the UN who would send some kind of multinational taskforce armed to the teeth, seal it back up while they plan and prepare (including surrounding the entrances with big mounds of ice to rebury it if they need to), then explore it with every form of surface scan currently known to science, then send in animals and robots, to build a complete map and ascertain possible threats, and only then start sending in humans, with the soldiers going first. And they'd keep a major portion of the world's thermonuclear ICBMS pointed at it the whole time, with B-52s circling constantly overhead and navies rerouted to every base in the southern hemisphere.
      Of course, if the aliens that built that decided to turn against humanity en masse, none of that would save us.

    This movie might have, kind of, almost made sense if the following happened.
    The Predators originally came to the temple to recover the queen alien/ recover some artifact/ or destroy the temple, because they knew humans were becoming too advanced and would find it. So the mission would have gone off without a hitch if the humans hadn't wandered in and gotten face huggers on them. This makes the humans necessary characters instead of just bumbling nobodies.

      Yeah there are so many ways this could have been awesome with minor tweaks. For example, emphasize that the predators are from much a hotter planet, so they really struggle with the cold, and the humans use that to their advantage; because of human intervention, a predator gets infected, and they have to deal with a predator-based alien; the humans, instead of having brought their own assault weapons to an Antarctic expedition, sneak into the predator’s cache of supplies and learn how to use their weapons.

    the original story from the Aliens v Predator comics from 1989 was better and far more engaging: humans have colonised a planet which turns out to be an ancient Predator hunting ground. A Predator seed ship returns with Alien eggs and they hatch and infect the planet's native cattle that the humans are farming for food. Predator hunters arrive soon after expecting Aliens to hunt but also come across the human settlement.

      Correct. These three Predators are Youngbloods. This is their test to become “Blooded”. Hence the ritual scarring after an Alien kill. They’re not testing themselves. They’re being tested by their tribe.
      They’re basically teenagers. There’s a deleted scene where Scar scares the girl by making the dead aliens jaw pop out unexpectedly... and he begins laughing; another indication that these three Predators are kids.

      Or just a coming of age ceremony where you prove you are a real man by shooting aliens with an OP shoulder gun. Since it is a coming of age ceremony and the parents presumably want their boy to survive (cause maybe he is going to apply to an electrical engineering graduate program when he gets home) it isn't something nearly as dangerous as having the boys fight the aliens with their bare hands.

    AvP was a fairly long-running and interesting series of comics, it had a lot of interesting ideas to capitalize upon and recognition so there was reason for an AvP movie to exist.... but having a production time of about 6-8 months makes a lot of sense why it was underwhelming. Though it was still better than it had a right to be considering.

      To its credit, the movie wasn't biting more than it could chew. It had stupid people being slain, it had predator on alien action, it wasn't repetitive, the final showdown was the way it should be.

      Most of the comics were set in either THE FUTURE or historical times as well, rather than "Modern Day", as I recall. Fox stipulated that the AvP movies could not be set in the future, originally they wanted to have Colonial Marines in it.

    They had AVP comics long before this movie came out. Also the Predators were "younger" Predators that were there to prove their selves. The Italian guy tells the group of the lore when he reads the Iconography on the "gun tomb"

      I have a few of them, they're pretty great. To add to your point about them being "youngbloods," I'm fairly certain this is also the reason they don't bring their own guns, they don't own any yet because they're not "blooded" predators yet, and "blooded" predators get better gear. I'm pretty sure they're supposed to get their first plasma casters at the beginning of this ritual.

      I love that the Italian guy can translate Aztec/Egyptian/Whatever gibberish on the spot. Don’t paleontologists spend months or years on that shit? It’s not French, or even Latin - it take time to even get the context. And this guy is just an archeologist. He don’t do the translating. Oh my god I’m trying to critique this movie at an ontological discipline level. I’M the idiot.

      It was the era of giant meaty men. As much as I love Danny Glover, he was a disappointing replacement for Arnie. And they made it an unnecessary dystopian kind of setting. And they made Busey Walter Peck when they didn’t need a human antagonist. I think there is a lot to like but it is inferior in terms of expectation and execution
