Back To Index Alien Vs. Predator
 Barnes & Noble These brawling beasties give new meaning to the phrase "celebrity smackdown" while melding the two Hollywood franchises -- already videogame costars -- on film for the first time. In this corner we have Aliens, the snarling, slimy creatures that gave Sigourney Weaver countless bad days in the Alien films. In the opposite corner we have heavily armored extraterrestrial Predators, one of whom matched wits and muscles with Arnold Schwarzenegger in one of the most memorable sci-fi action films of the 80s. As this films story has it, a group of Predators is deliberately breeding Aliens within a pyramid-like, Aztec-cum-Cambodian compound beneath the Antarctic ice, using captured humans to incubate them in the familiar stomach-stretching manner. Why? For sport, of course. But the thrill of the hunt is lost on the human explorers who get caught in the middle of this centuries-old grudge match after penetrating the underground lair. The Predators, whom one critic likened to "Rasta samurai," have a clear technological edge over the slime-spewing Aliens, but were not prepared to place any bets on wholl win. Despite the in-dead-earnest performances of the cast -- which includes Lance Henriksen as the billionaire industrialist leading the humans, and gorgeous Sanaa Lathan as one of the scientists -- Alien Vs. Predator is about as silly a monster movie as weve seen since King Kong Vs. Godzilla. But it is fun, moves briskly, and provides all the thrills and chills one expects from that sort of movie. Dont ask too many questions; just go with the flow and youll have a good time with this one. Ed Hulse Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
