yep.....I wanna see what is up with that scene where u see the predator do something with the funky weapon and then this big blue nuclear type explosion blasts out,... I be drooling at that part! I don't know about anyone else, but I HOPE that for once, the human race is wiped out completely! And it just Aliens and Predators left to battle it out. We're always SO in the way... *bounces in anticipation*

We're always SO in the way... *bounces in anticipation* HAHA I completly agree. I love movies where tragity strikes. My favorite part of Terminator 3 was when Judgment Day finally happened. I'm not sure why, but I love apacolyptic movies and stories. Hopefully much of Earth will be destroyed during this battle, but I have a feeling it will be confined to one complex or one area.

I don't normally like tragedy, but all these movies just tease us: Oh no, the human race is gonna die, but at the last minute - it doesn't. I'm TIRED of being teased like this. We. Need. To. FALL. Long live the Alien/Predator hybrid species.

That's why I liked when Judgment Day happened in Terminator 3 so much, and one of the reasons why I love 12 Monkey's so much, as despite thier efforts, they were unable to change Earth's past when a virus wiped humans out!!

Hmm, a preview for the movie just came on TV, and it had a lady pondering on which side her and her human friends should be on. Interesting, the humans are going to choose a side.
Honestly, if I were there, and I had to choose, I'd choose the Predators. I mean, if they win, I doubt they would conquer Earth, as that's not how they play the game, but the Aliens are pretty much dumb animals, if they won, they would kill without question untill they inhabited the entire world, or at least one side of the continents due to oceans.
On another note, I am assuming this all takes place before Riply ever runs into the Aliens, or is this movie set in the future, or our time? Also if this is before Riply, how did people not know what the aliens were when they were first encountered? The 'Company' seemed like they didnt know what they were at first, but wanted one anyways.

I would hope that the Preds win too.. and I would join thier side in that same situation for the same reasons... PLUS I don't think they would hunt me due to the fact that I: 1- don't live in a jungle or a big city. 2- I am an excellent marksman thanks to my interests in guns and bows..so I would kill them FIRST!!! Mwahahahahaha..lol...Down with the alein hunters and tyrants!!! Long live Da Jewells!!!!!... lmao.... sorry.. just a small streak of megalomania springing up there..coupled with mild sleep dep..lol.

Dumb animal or intelligent hunter? On the surface it's almost too easy...
Of course there's everything else once things are actually thought through.
Got to think it about it for bit, but I hope the Preds don't lose, as Aliens are just plain mean.

I think it takes place in our time...long before ripley or anyone...and i am getting the feeling that none of these aliens or anything probably ever make it to the surface alive to ever be found out.....and if any humans survive...they probably don't tell anyone....as far as the company....i think they picked up the info from the warning beacon that the alien ship that crashed on the planet was sending out....it probably sent out detailed info about the aliens and the threat they posed to keep people away from their ship....and when the company found out all that info...then they sent ripley and crew to go get an alien....

I think it will take place during our time as well. It's cool though that Lance Henriksen (Bishop) will be in this film, I wonder if it's just a cameo, or if he will have a strong role. I also wonder if he will play an ancenstor of Bishop's creator.
And my pick to win would still be the Predators if it was happening in real life, they'd likey leave after thier victory, and only return one at a time to hunt us, as opposed to the aliens spreading throughout the world.
I also wonder how the Aliens are going to get on Earth. I hope they are not brought by the hunters, I'm looking for something a bit more then that, like the Predators had to follow them here, or something.

Wow, I can't pick sides, but I am curious about if they're gonna have any dialog. As far as I know, Aliens don't speak like we do... so will they just fight or exchange insults first?

I imagine there will be a few stories going on. We'll have the human story, then the Alien vs Predator story, then the humans will get involved in the middle of the battle. From the previews, it shows an alien attacking a human, one of the warrior aliens, so people will have to put up with the aliens as well, which is kind of cool. I am unsure of the Predators will speak, but they might as one Predator repeated Arnold's words in the orginal, so they may speak limited English with the humans if in fact they make some sort of treaty with them to battle the Aliens together. I cant imagine people making a treaty with the Aliens. To me this is like Predator 3 meets Alien 5, I love it, and can't wait!!

LOL Yes!! I will be there Friday evening to see this, even if I have to wait in line, as I did for Matrix Reloaded, The Two Towers, and the last two Star Wars movies.

And the previews are getting better and better!! ;D The last one that was just on, shows alot of scence, an alien basically using his second mouth to penetrate a womans skull, a Predator fighting an alien with hand to hand combat, the alien getting sliced open and it's acid blood hitting the predator, then it shows a hillside with literally thousands, maybe millions of aliens. It makes the group that lived on LV-426 looks like a small mob, lol. I've never seen so many aliens at once. It's amazing when you think how much damage just one Alien can do, let alone thousands.
However, thats something that worries me. Remember how powerful a isngle alien is? How deadly? I hope this movie dosent sissify them, and make them into weak creatures where they are easily killed and have to attack in large numbers. Like a group with a few guns holding off thousands. Yeah right, 4 Aliens could over run a group with guns maybe. I'm not saying thats what the movie is going to do, but after seeing thousands, I'm hoping thats not what they are going to do.
