This was the summer
for Hollywood rivals to
W encounter each other after
J "T*? «*Np countless individual se
quels. “Alien vs. Predator”
has recently arrived in the-
aters and is trying to out-
gmtk shine “Freddy vs. Jason."
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.
