synopsis from IMDB
"A little town in the hills of Colorado will become the battleground between two of the deadliest extra-terrestrial lifeforms - the Alien and the Predator. When a Predator scout ship crash-lands in the hills outside the town, Alien facehuggers are released in the crash, and an even more evil creature - a hybrid Alien/Predator - is also released. A man & his son hunting in the forests near the crash site soon become the first victims of the facehuggers, and when a Predator receives data about the crash on his home planet, he comes to Earth. One at a time, the inhabitants of the town become targets of the Aliens and the Predator, including the local sheriff, a young female soldier recently returned from Iraq, and several teens. Though the National Guard is called in, they are unable to stop the deadly creatures, and a plan is set in motion to destroy the town with a nuclear device... Written by Derek O'Cain"
This was not a good movie, I really only went to it to get out of the house for an hour and a half. The only redeeming parts of the film were the Aliens constantly killing any near by people. Also the "Predalien" was pretty sweet.
The story in this movie is really weak, especially the "human drama". I didn't find myself caring about any of the characters but I was surprised when the characters that i thought would make it to the end of the movie didn't and the characters that i thought would didn't. The dialoge is about on par with a 5th grade playwright with tourettes. Also how a small helicopter could make it through the pressure of a nuclear blast while flying is beyond me.
The only way that this movie could be good would be if you were watching it on a Friday night with a bunch of friends, possibly drinking a beer whenever a chestburster explodes out of someone's chest, that means four beers when the four chestbursters rip their way out of the pregnant woman's womb.
4 out of 10 stars
