1. Other than the fact that it's formulaic, predictable in the extreme and...
you have to totally suspend belief in regards to physics and the natural world - it's OK. :eyes:

2. It wasn't as bad as I thought it could be.
If you have an hour and a half to kill and need some mindless entertainment AvP will work.

4. "Mindless Entertainment"
Kingshakabobo is right. Although the last scene is rather bizarre, (a little tease for you). If you are renting, pick up Creature from the Black Lagoon instead, if only for the musical score.

5. If you're a fan of Aliens in particular, don't bother.
I don't want to say why, but you'll be disappointed.

The movie blows one way or another anyway, even as mindless entertainment. There's not even a lot of action in it, and the action that exists is so poorly shot that you don't enjoy it at all.

Worst movie I've seen in a long time.

6. It was everything expected
I did not expect a good, thoughtful movie. I expected a creature feature. As a dumb creature feature I liked it. Who cares if it made no sense?

7. exactly.
it's a b-movie. if you watch the creature from the black lagoon, you're not expecting casablanca, are you? no, you expect the creature from the black lagoon! similar concept.
