Synopsis
Since the beginning of time, the Predators - feared, hulking alien game hunters - have come to Earth for one simple reason: to engage in a coming-of-age ritual. To enter manhood, the teenage Predators have to hunt down a hive of Alien warriors and successfully defeat them and claim the skulls as trophies. However, during one hunting session, the easily aggravated Aliens fight back, leading to the destruction of the two species as well as the Aztec people who worshipped the Predators as Gods.
Nearly two thousand years later, billionaire industrialist Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen) uses satellite technology to rediscover the ancient pyramid buried thousands of feet under the ice of Antarctica. Knowing that he has uncovered something significant, Weyland recruits a team of experts led by Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan) and heads down to the Antarctic to find the pyramid. Once there, they make an even more terrifying discovery... two alien races at war!
As the group go deeper into the buried temple they encounter a giant mother Alien just waiting to breed new face-hugging offspring. To make matters worse, the new hunting clan of teenage Predators, led by the brash and violent Celtic, have arrived and are ready to hunt down both the Aliens and the humans within. The humans find themselves in the middle of a centuries old war between Alien and Predator...with themselves as the bait!
Directed by Paul WS Anderson (RESIDENT EVIL, EVENT HORIZON), ALIEN VS PREDATOR on 2-disc DVD is jammed with gripping extras including two Commentaries, Visual Effects Featurette, HBO Special, The Making of Alien vs Predator, Deleted Scenes (with optional commentary) and much, much more! Fans of both the Alien and Predator movies will not be disappointed.
No matter who wins, we lose...
