An expedition of
archaeologists on Earth discover an Aztec
temple hidden under the Antarctic circle,
housing a host of Alien creatures.
A group of five coming-of-age Predators
have also come to the temple, as it has
long been a training ground for their
race. From there on, it's Aliens vs.
Predators, with the humans caught in the
middle.
It gets worst and
worst each time.
This is not at all based after the Alien
movies as it's a story by itself with the
same characters.
Originally this used to be a successful
comic book series but this movie doesn't
even follow that.
Apart from great effects this film was a
waste of time. Almost like a ripoff to
the Thing from Another World.
The acting is
still passable for a lousy flick like
this.
However, Lance Henricksen is not
an android in this one and a totally
different character apart from the same
name. He was killed off halfway through
this one.
The gore is mainly
focused on the aliens as they get
slaughtered by the Predators.
The directing by Paul
WS Sandon is again passable and
better than his writing for it but again
he was only involved in a handful of
other films.
However, he shows a terrific set of the
temple and the surroundings with the
alien creatures attacking and good
effects like that.
The music was composed by Harold Kloser
along with additional scores by James
Seymour Brett, Thomas Schobel
and Thomas Wanker.
There's
also a songtrack of the classic hit
"La Bamba"
Sebastian
de Rosa: This whole thing was a trap.
Alexa
'Lex' Woods: They're not hunting us.
We're in the middle of a war.
Alexa
'Lex' Woods: [while exploring the
abandoned whaling station, Miller is
startled by a penguin] Careful. They
bite.
Sebastian
de Rosa: I told you she'd stay.
Graeme Miller: She can't resist my
animal magnetism.
Alexa
'Lex' Woods: [Scar shows Alexa
that he is activating the bomb in his
wrist panel] It's a bomb. Well, I
hope it kills every fucking one of them!
Alexa
'Lex' Woods: We're gonna round up the
rest of the team and get to the surface.
Let's move!
Alexa 'Lex' Woods: [Stafford
and Verheiden open their cases and pull
out machine guns] What are you doing?
Maxwell Stafford: My job. Yours is
over.
Alexa 'Lex' Woods: My job is over
when everyone is back on the boat safely.
And that gun doesn't change anything.
[Stafford cocks his gun]
[first
lines]
Technician: Hey. Hey, hey, come
here, take a look at this.
[to
the Alien]
Mark Verheiden: You ugly son of a
bitch!
Adele
Rousseau: What did you say this room
was called?
[an Alien egg hatches]
Thomas: Sacrificial chamber.
Alexa
'Lex' Woods: How do you say
"scared shitless" in Italian?
[Sebastian replies in Italian]
Sebastian de Rosa: Non vedo l'ora
di uscire da questo piramide con te,
perché mi sto cagando adosso. More or
less.
[Stafford
and Verheiden drop their cases and pull
out guns]
Alexa 'Lex' Woods: What are you
doing?
Maxwell Stafford: My job. Yours is
over.
Alexa 'Lex' Woods: My job is over
when everyone is back in the boat safely.
And that gun doesn't change anything.
[Stafford cocks the gun]
[Lex
discovers Weyland with his respirator]
Alexa 'Lex' Woods: There's no room
for sick men on this expedition.
Charles Bishop Weyland: My doctors
tell me the worst is behind me.
Alexa 'Lex' Woods: You're not a
very good liar, Mr. Weyland. Stay on the
ship. We'll update you at the top of
every hour.
Charles Bishop Weyland: You know,
when you get sick, you think about your
life and how you're going to be
remembered. You know what I realized
would happen when I go? A ten percent
fall in share prices. Maybe twelve. And
that's it.
Alexa 'Lex' Woods: I've heard this
speech before. My dad broke his leg seven
hundred feet from the summit of Mount
Ranier. He was like you. He wouldn't go
back or let us stop. We reached the top
and he opened a bottle of champagne...
Had my first drink with my dad at 14,400
feet. On the way down, he developed a
blood clot in his leg that traveled to
his lung. He suffered for four hours
before dying twenty minutes from the
base.
Charles Bishop Weyland: You think
that's the last thing your dad remembers?
The pain? Or drinking champagne with his
daughter four thousand feet in the air?
[pause]
Charles Bishop Weyland: I need
this.
[last
lines]
Alexa 'Lex' Woods: [to an Alien]
You are one ugly mother...
[the
team finds the Predators' shoulder
cannons]
Graeme Miller: Any idea what these
are?
Sebastian de Rosa: No, you?
Graeme Miller: No.
Maxwell Stafford: It's a good
thing we brought the experts.
Graeme Miller: Well, yeah, it is a
good thing, cos' this is like finding
Moses' DVD collection.
