When scientists discover something in the Arctic that appears to be a buried Pyramid, they send a research team out to investigate. Little do they know that they are about to step into a hunting ground where Aliens are grown as sport for the Predator race.
Perfunctory battle sequences, cardboard characters, and uncreative scare 'ems.

To ingest Alien vs. Predator on its own slimy, divertingly synthetic terms, it helps to forget everything previously known -- and loved -- about the franchise monster aliens who get star billing.

The title alone betrays an entire Hollywood mindset of rehash, reheat, recombine. Re-please.
