Alien Vs Predator |
"They're not hunting us. We're in the middle of a war. It's time to pick a side. "
Set in 2004, the film centers at first on billionaire Charles bishop Weyland, owner of multinational communications giant Weyland Corporation (which eventually becomes the Weyland - Yutani Corporation of the Alien films). Weyland is dying of lung cancer and is concerned that he has not done a sufficient job of securing a legacy by which he will be remembered. An opportunity for him to do so seems to present itself when one of the corporation's satellites detects a sudden, never-before-seen heat source emanating from below the surface of an ice-covered island next to Antartica. In a desperate bid to secure the source of the heat bloom in the name of the corporation, Weyland hastily assembles a team of scientists, paleontologists, archaeologists, linguistic experts, weapons experts and a "rough and tumble" female guide with a reputation for leading groups into unfriendly terrain in the hopes of mounting a quick discovery and retrieval campaign. Once on site, the team discovers an incredibly advanced, self-powered pyramid with the capability to turn itself on and off based on input from a semimechanical, Aztec-style calendar. Believing that within the pyramid lies the proof of an empire predating written history, the group goes in, but finds much more than ancient sarcophagii and hieroglyphics. Dismembered human skeletons and the fossilised remains of unknown aliens that appear to have violently burst out of the humans' chests are found in a sacrificial chamber, while hieroglyphs inside the structure seem to indicate that the events are all part of an ancient ritual. Matters only get worse when three Predators (Yautja) arrive, apparently to take part in a gruesome rite of passage wherein young Predators must travel to Earth and kill the Aliens (exenomorphs) or die in the process. So as you can imagine we have a roaming number of predators.....aliens.....and humans....and no one can tell what is going to happen.......
