Synopsis:
The aliens (and a predator) have landed on planet Earth, and small-town America is about to become the scene of an epic interstellar showdown. As these two breeds of cosmic killers clash in the small-town streets Gunnison, CO, the locals are sent running for their lives. From the murky sewers to the rain-soaked streets, Gunnison has become a total bloodbath. Nowhere is safe, especially from the unstoppable new hybrid known as the "predalien." Now, as the once-quiet community of Gunnison is overrun by Aliens, the only hope for humankind is a fierce hunter from the deepest reaches of space. But this predator is far from a benevolent savior of the human race, because he'll kill any man, woman, or child who gets in the way of his mission to destroy every last alien under these stormy Colorado skies.

Review:
I had some high hopes for this movie, but it definitely didn't reach its full potential. The plot of the movie should have been centered more around the fight between the predators and aliens than the lives of the humans. A lot of the fight scenes were rather dark and made it less enjoyable than the first AVP. Some of the better qualities of the was the new 'species' that was introduces, the predalien. It pretty much kicks everyone's butt. I also liked how the movie wasn't predictable. You really never knew who was going to die and pretty much no one was spared. The movie wasn't horrible, but I probably won't watch it again. I'd say rent this movie if you're bored and want to see some blood and guts. Otherwise, stick to the first AVP.
