Okay, can we stop with the personal attacks. Incidently, I think you are BOTH correct, if that is possible.
These films are about Aliens fighting Predators and Humans are incidental, but for any horror/thriller film to work, the filmgoer does need to be relate to the characters and care if they live or die. If we aren't meant to care about the characters, why have Humans in them at all? Why even set them on Earth.

Alien had plot too, it was just very subtle. The powerful
Company and the
expendable humans point was fairly heavily made I thought. Everyone now is very familiar with the Alien's biology and life-cycle, but the way the characters learnt that was story.

sorry, but they are not for very many reasons, some I made already in the thread about the first AvP film. Unfortunately, trying to prevent them is like stopping the tide coming in.
