Alien Vs Predator - Requiem is the latest installment in the unfortunate marriage between two fo the most successful and imaginative sci-fi franchises. Unfortunately bade writing and scripting has left plot holes so large you could fit a dropship in them, so here are the most obvious, be warned may contain spoilers.

 

1. Why would a race as advanced as predators, and a race that has fought the Aliens on many occasions not check its dead or injured after going to battle with aliens to see if they have been face hugged?

2. The Predator ship is flying past earth when the predalien burst from the predators chest. Then its is fully grown killing Predators and the ship is still flying past earth, so in a mater of 10seconds its fully grown and killing. The growth rate of the alien is a problem throughout the whole film, with chestbursters turning into full grown adults in about 5 minutes.

3. Predators would not use shoulder cannons inside their ships for the obvious reason. How could a race that views themselves as the perfect hunter fail to deal with a single alien? In addition to this at the end of the last film it was clear there were about 20 other predators on board.

4. Predators wouldn't wear their masks inside their ship anymore than a scuba diver would where scuba gear at home. Its their own atmosphere, they dont need it!

5. The Predator space craft is seen bursting out of the sky and flying over the hunter and his kid, then continues over a mountain range (hiting it) then continues some more and crashes. The guy and his kid make it to the ship straight away as if it crashed only a few hundred meters from them.

6. It is established in predator lore that if ever the predators are defeated by the aliens or become over run and the aliens have become too many like an outbreak, they use there wrist bomb and destroy the whole area. they don't send out a distress call to ONE predator.

7. The one predator once arriving sets off the wrist bomb on the dead predator and calmly walks away and the ship is seen exploding directly behind him. As established in predator and AVP1 the explosion is similar to a small atom bomb, not limited to just a small one, and would have easily been detected.

8. The predator that has arrived to stop the alien out break and destroy the evidence doesn't seem concerned about killing humans and skinning them and leaving them around as evidence.

9. At the end of the film the military who acquired the predator gun would not then give it to a corporation.(minor plot hole)

11. How does the military know just from black and white footage that they are seeing an organism that spreads like a virus and that it is spreading threw out the town.
