AVP: Alien vs. Predator

I went to go see AVP yesterday, and I must say that I was less than impressed. While there was plenty of alien and predator gore, the PG-13 rating meant that while you could easily infer what happened to the victims, you couldn't see anything. I didn't care about any of the characters, plot and motivation seemed to take a backseat to nearly everything else, one of the characters makes a big deal about bringing a gun that is never used, and to be dead honest, the entire thing reminded me of Jurassic Park III: 20 minutes of token plot development, 70 minutes of mindless action.

I give it 3 stars out of 5 for some good jump moments and action.
