AVP: Alien Vs. Predator on DVD

Starring Sanaa Lathan, and Lance Henriksen, AVP: Alien vs. Predator takes two series meet. Monsters pop out of every corner, vanish and reappear all over. Then when you think you've figured out what's going on and just who to trust, the film blows you away with a few surprises. 

Researchers are requested to go on an excursion to the Bouvetøya Island in the Antarctic ocean to look at an ancient monument buried 200 feet below the ice. Lead by Charles Bishop Weyland (Henriksen), the team uncovers a few wild things that rewrites history and says a few things about our ancient ancestors. Then things start to go terribly wrong. 

An experienced climber and knowledgible architect, Alexa Woods (Lathan) helps the team get down to the monument. She helps them make the discoveries; such as, a sacrificial chamber in which people would lay in a circle and wait for their inevitable doom. She watches as a team of skilled military men hold back a horde of ugly, and slimy creatures with heavy firepower. Then Alexa Woods teams up with something - or someone unexpected; a "predator" to fend off what few remaining "aliens" there are left, including a 15-foot-tall alien queen. 

AVP is almost a prequel to the Alien saga, started in 1979 with Ridley Scott's definitive masterpiece Alien, and acts as a finale to the Predator saga, started in 1987 with John McTiernan action-thriller Predator. For fans of the Alien saga, a few clever history quotes are rampid, including the introduction of Mr. Weyland who would later be recreated as an android known simple as Bishop. The film may seem lame and stupid to the serious fans who enjoy the overall sci-fi mysteries of both Alien and Predator sagas, but it still packs a wallop when the two creatures meet in a clash to beat all clashes.
