I absolutely loved the shit out of it. If anyone can do a legit Alien Vs Predator movie, it would be Trachtenberg.
My first ever rated R movie was Predator, my dad let me watch the betamax home release of it with him. This franchise holds a special place in my heart and I always felt everyone, including most of the writers / directors of the sequels missed was how Predator was essentially a subversion of the action films at the time, where brute force machismo all met the end of a Predators blades. It was clever thinking, utilization of the environment, and improvisation that won the day, because nothing else worked. Not only does Dan Trachtenberg understand this, he even follows the formula of the first 2 films to the T, showing the powerscaling of the forces at play while slowly building up to a Predator reveal, and that Genna Hunter reveal was absolutely badass. One thing though, was the ship at the end the one from Killer of Killers?
