I like it for what it is, a sort of 80s cult :-) It's not my favourite things, specially if you look at it now, but back then it made quite an impression, and those predators that you can't see but that can see you perfectly were scary, and the effects were very good. Now of course it has only the charm of remembering when you watched it, and how it was, and stuff like that. Arnold Schwarzenegger was the hero of this one. Well, there was a team of soldiers, but of course it was all about him.
There was some kind of plot , like a rescue mission in Central America, in the wild jungle, but it was only an excuse for them to be there, unprepared. The real deal is when the battle with the creature comes. He learns of this legend, of this alien hunting in those parts, and while all the others are killed by it one by one, he manages to survive until the end, where he famously tricks it.
He covers himself with mud, so not to be pick up by the aliens heat-scanner or whatever it is, and surprises it. They fight, because there's Schwarzenegger and there must be a fight, and in the end he wins with an astute move. He's safe, and goes back home.
Not that much of it, and yet it still has its charm. It was well done, and even if you can feel all its years, it still has value.
