I suppose a brief plot explanation is a requirement of reviews so here it goes. A group of scientists (who actually have the intellectual capabilities of someone that has just dropped out of compulsory education) travel to a snowy-somewhere which would actually be quite nice if it wasn't for the bile that this film produces. They hop into the temple they find and, wait here's a suprise, it traps them. After a few minutes walking around they begin to get slowly picked off by everyone's favourite Alien; of course, by slowly I mean they follow everyone running for about 5 minutes before hitting a dead end. Get it? Well I hope so because if you don't you're about as smart as the characters and if you laughed you will really enjoy this film. After 30 minutes or so there is some sort of orgy of Alien and Predator fights. Despite the terrible acting, plot and script earlier this part annoys me the most. Backstory. Fine, right? Wrong. In Alien (and the sequels) we see that they're damn tough monsters, with acidic blood which can kill hundreds of people. In predator we see something similar, but without the tough skin and acid blood, instead it has superior technology. Apparently, the Predator race has been teaching people since they first, well, were on Earth. You know what else they've been doing? Standing on top of a pyramid killing hundreds of Aliens. This annoyed me. A lot. Partly because they've made this crap up about Predators helping humans for the later plot point but mainly because one is shown slaughtering the Alien race. Solid skinned (they have to be solid skinned to hold acid blood, right?) creatures being killed by one man shaped thing, which is only a little stronger than everyone's favourite body-building actor, bing killed with a sharp stick. They make the Aliens seem like a crappy little annoyance to everyone. Later, this abomination of a plot has us believe that the Predator actually wants to help the last surviving human. Hold it right there. Didn't the Predator (in the film of the same name) kill itself just to try and destroy its human enemy? They've essentially destroyed the entire idea both series set up in three fantastic films (Predator, Alien and Aliens). Now, the effects. Not the worst I've ever seen (believe me, I've seen some bad effects) but these come close to the worst. It looks like they placed a camera on the floor of a cardboard temple and tossed Alien and Predator action figures at each other from across the room 5 times. It makes a poorly executed idea, that little bit worse. 17% |
