Hey Ian, welcome to Tangent21 
From Alien Vs Predator i'm expecting... not a lot of much.
Paul WS Anderon's filmography isn't exactly littered with great films (Mortal Combat, Soldier, Resident Evil), which is the first thing that doesn't inspire confidence.
The second is the story. We have Lance Henriksen playing one half of Weyland-Yutani, an eccentric corporate owner who finds out about the discovery of a pyramid in the arctic and pays to be taken along for the ride. Sound familiar?
When they get there, they find aliens fighting predators... and this is all set way before Alien. Yeah, okay, sounds great to me...

The teaser looks good, but the antarctica storyline makes no sense...
At least based on the original 2 predator movies and the Dark Horse comic book series....

And besides, from the sounds of things, they're going for a "fans want to see who's the hardest" kind of movie, like a Freddy vs. Jason thing for SF fans; they're not majorly bothered about winning awards, but more trying to get a decent-sized mild-SF/action audience, and for that, Anderson is a good choice. OK, it won't be massively historical (like the debut films of the respective franchises) but it should be entertaining, which seems to be the general intent (not to mention "studio execs" and "huge profits", of course...
)Did that make any sense?
