Corrected entry: When the guy is about to set the Aztec calender up to open up the chest, he asks what the date is, and is told it is the tenth of October. He then sets the calender to the tenth of the tenth. Bearing in mind how long ago the pyramid was built, October would still have been the eighth month, as it was the Romans who added two extra months, making October the tenth.

Corrected entry: After entering the pyramid, the team reads the ancient scriptures and learns about the predators fighting the aliens for honor. It also says that if the predator did not succeed, it made sure nothing survived, as we see the vision of one destroying everything including itself. However, at the end of the movie the last predator flees the scene after realizing it was out of control. Are we to believe that the predators abandoned thousands of years of tradition that easily?

Corrected entry: How is it possible that when a Predator uses its claws to slice an Alien part off, it starts to melt instantly from the acid, while the throwing star slices right through unharmed as seen with the mother alien?
Correction: The throwing star and the claws are made from different metals. The claws are not really intended to be used against the Aliens; instead, they are supposed to use the shoulder blasters and other ranged weapons to protect themselves from the acid blood. The consequence of closing with the Aliens is losing their armor to the acid and dying faster. The throwing star is made from a lighter, more aerodynamic metal and enjoys a resistance to the acid.

Corrected entry: We see the face hugger attack the predator. We all know what happens. At the end with the 50 predators, why didn't any of them use their heat vision on him?
Correction: They did. There is no indication that the Predator-Alien hybrid survives more than a few seconds at the end of the movie; the Predators go offscreen and it is born, but they are no doubt prepared for this eventuality. They brought the trial Predator back on board to honor his accomplishment.

Corrected entry: In the previous Alien films, it has been established that the Alien lifecycle (egg, facehugger, chestburster, & warrior) takes anywhere from a couple of hours to a few days. However, in AvP, the Aliens go from facehuggers to full, adult warriors in less than an hour.
Correction: The Aliens of this movie have been genetically altered by the Predators to increase the viability and difficulty of the hunt. It would be a bit pointless for the Predators wait around for a day or two so the Aliens can build up their forces, especially if they have the power to engineer the Aliens.

Corrected entry: It was nice for the predators to give Lex the spear at the end of the movie but maybe they could have given her a ride home or some clothing. She was stranded on Antarctica at night with no jacket and a long distance from where the ship was docked.
Correction: When they are on the hunt, Predators are expected to be entirely autonomous. By showing Lex the respect of offering her a trophy, they recognize her as a warrior and would expect her to be able to take care of herself.
Correction: I just finished watching the movie and had this same thought. However, after the Predator ship leaves, the camera shows the Snowcat, which is the proper name for the snow tractor, with its headlights still on. She could have driven back to where they left the ship in relative comfort.

Corrected entry: When the Predator makes the mark on Lex's face (that kind of looks like a "T") the acid used to make it, which chews through metal and armor, barely even makes a dent on her cheek.

Correction: The Aztec calendar was developed entirely independent from the Romans. The Aztecs based their calendar on precise astronomical measurement and therefore had a more accurate calendar than the Greco-Roman version, which required centuries of tinkering before it was corrected.
