“Sanaa Lathan seems to believe in the character she?s playing, and emerges as a strong female lead in this male-dominated genre. Lance Henriksen appears to relish being back in an ?alien? environment. The rest of the pyramid-exploring team, including Raoul Bova, Ewen Bremner, and Sam Troughton, never overtly wink at the audience”…
“Not only did the Predators? tie to ?true life? legend (humans worshipping Gods? who dropped by in ?Chariots of Fire?) gel so damn well within their mythology, I also boogied to how the Pyramid?s inner ?Domino Effect? mechanism unraveled to finally get the Aliens and the Predators into the same ring”…
“Fortunately, entering a movie with low expectations sometimes makes for a better viewing experience. Alien vs. Predator is certainly not the worst movie to come out this summer?I would argue that Thunderbirds and Van Helsing were duller and more exhausting to sit through?and there are times when the new film pays just enough respect to its source material that you can almost taste the good movie that it might have been”…

Beyond that, though, this hybrid will disappoint avid fans with its campy, supplemental mythology and too-little-too-late face-off between the two Hollywood killing machines”…
“It’s the fall of 2004 and satellites owned by Charles Bishop Weyland (LANCE HENRIKSEN) have not only detected a heat source deep in Antarctica, but also a massive pyramid buried 2,000 feet below an old whaling station that was mysteriously abandoned one-hundred years earlier”…
Starring: Sanaa Lathan, Raoul Bova, Lance Henriksen
Opinions:
“Writer / director Paul W. S. Anderson does a good job of remaining faithful to both series. He previously directed Mortal Kombat, Soldier, and Resident Evil, so he’s got a flair for this kind of flick. Both the Alien and Predator series rely heavily on suspense, cool effects, and a hunter-and-prey atmosphere, all of which work well here”…
