Now audiences can finally experience America’s two most grotesque extrater restrial creatures in combat. The human-breeding alien pods and the creatures with the dreadlocks and air masks are back on the big screen. After meeting several of the human characters, the film’s fairly cliche plot begins. Charles Wey- land (Lance Henriksen) and his well-to-do company stumble across some interesting satellite readings that cannot be explained. Unfortunately, the read ings come from Antarctica. Weyland, striving for an immortal name in history, proceeds to combine a “Jurassic Park”-meets-“Armageddon” plan that, at the time, appears flawless. After hiring two ex perts, Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan) and Sebastian de Rosa (Raoul Bova) and a special crew, the party travels through uncharted land to find Weyland’s mysterious satellite findings. Alexa is known for her survival skills and is chosen to lead the group safely through the perilous journey of ice and snow. > the and I him dwavs ha “ “j 3 l,a jcies. and ladness.
