Storyline:

The iconic monsters from the two franchises battle each other on Earth in Alien Vs. Predator (AVP) for the first time on film, as they have in the comic-book world. The discovery of an ancient pyramid buried in Antarctica sends a team of scientists and adventurers to the frozen continent. There, they make an even more terrifying discovery: two alien races enaged in an ultimate battle.

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 Alien Vs. Predator (AVP), with the humans caught in the middle.

Alien vs. Predator (or as the marketing team would love you to call it, AVP) is that I – and I'm sure others – are actually kind of excited to see these two killing machines go at it.

And if all you really want is to see these built-to-kill bad asses fight to the death, then you're in for a treat when watching Alien Vs. Predator (AVP). It's like watching a very non-scary, screeching, interstellar cockfight. There's a heaping helping of acidic bloodbaths, infrared-vision shootouts, gleaming Predator weaponry, and oozy Alien slime. Yes, folks, it's all here in Alien Vs. Predator (AVP) and if you're a fan of both of the old movie series, writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson (of Resident Evil) plies you with fun hints at the originals.

Alien Vs. Predator (AVP) begins with Billionaire Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen, taking the partial namesake of his Alien android character) has put together a team of experts to explore a pyramid that his satellite spotted buried under Antarctica. What his team – which consists of strong-willed adventurer Lex (Sanaa Lathan), archaeologist Sebastian (Raoul Bova), and other assorted disposables – discover is it's actually a hunting arena where the Predator race train their young warriors by pitting them in a battle against the ultimate prey, our very own lovable Alien queen and all her offspring in Alien Vs. Predator (AVP).

But in exploring the pyramid, they also uncover the truth behind how these two species ended up on this humble planet. For those who don't want me to ruin the sanctity of Alien Vs. Predator (AVP) movie by giving away this minor spoiler, turn away now. For the rest of us who want a good laugh, read on. Alien Vs. Predator (AVP) movie implies that we humans were civilized by Predator's, they taught us to build, we worshipped them as gods, and they used us as the breeding containers for their Alien prey. And then whenever the hunt didn't go their way, they detonated one of those wrist-top nuclear devices, thus beginning the Ice Age or something.

Obviously, you're not likely to be looking to Alien Vs. Predator (AVP) for intellectualism. Admit it; you just wanted to see the rock-‘em, sock-‘em creature violence (which is pretty darned gory and graphic). And if you're a fan of either or both of these iconic space invaders, you'll love seeing them kicking each others' butts even more in Alien Vs. Predator (AVP). Just remember to leave the thinking cap at home to enjoy watching Alien Vs. Predator (AVP).
