I mean that quite literally. Watched the whole movie and could only see about half of it. This is by far the worst Predator movie overall....by a long shot. And it is only an Alien movie in name and allusion. The story line was muddle. Editing also a mess. I didn't care about any of the characters, human, alien or predator. Almost all characters that are introduced and made to seem as they are a main character, die without me having an idea as to who they were or why they were on screen, other than to be fodder. The Predators and Aliens, were little more than set pieces, with motion and action that made it seem like a cheap 1950's Japanese monster movie. The movements, especially of the Aliens, were so obvious to be humans in Halloween costumes. Even the pre-end credits reveal made me less interested in the series and it left me wanting no more. Watch if you want, but I will never watch again. Thank god.

The movie starts out somewhat great with some spectacular set pieces...and then people are introduced with little or no warning. So many extremely coincidental events happen and then wonderful action and sets for a few minutes. More characters are introduced without context and we, as the audience, are so supposed understand and accept these relationships and character actions without having anything to build on. More action and sets. And then more disjointed scenes without exposition. More coincidence. And then, all of a sudden, characters are changing motivation, meaning their introductions were complete lies, and again we are supposed to accept it.

I don't necessarily regret seeing the movie, if only so that I never have to see it again.

Overall the presentation and perspective of this document-series is so horribly done that it makes one not care at all. From the overly dramatic interview intros, the ridiculous messaging through cgi overlays, to the robotic narration makes this less of a documentary and more of a propaganda feature with no answers to the problem the producers are trying to convey. I have seen far better documentaries on the same or similar subject in less time and with more respect to the material and to the audience. Don't waste your time unless you want your brain to melt in the over the top production style.
