When an ancient pyramid is discovered through a Weyland Industries satellite two thousand feet below Antarctic ice, Weyland (Lance Henriksen) assembles a team of scientists and soldiers for an expedition. The dying Weyland wants to leave his mark on the world before he shuffles off. It proves to be an idiotic choice when the temple’s true purpose is made known. It turns out the place is a huge hunting ground for an alien race’s manhood ritual. Teenage Predators journey there to hunt the super dangerous xenomorphs and become adequate Bill Paxton killers. It doesn’t take long for the Weyland team to be trapped and separated in the pyramid and it takes even less time for most of them to end up murdered by the two races of fighting aliens. Dumb as fuck film has the Predators mostly getting their asses handed to them and a spattering of poorly rendered digital violence visited upon the humans. The underrated and super badass Colin Salmon shows up to steal his minimal scenes and you can just add that to the large list of underutilized and wasted awesomeness. There’s some dumb fun to be had but as a fan of both franchises, it’s hard to look past what could have been.
