Humans discover a giant pyramid under the ice of Antarctica. What they think is a a relic of a past civilization turns out to be a killing ground for two breeds of killers. One is a cosmic hunter that lives to hunt while the other is a pure bred killing machine with acid for blood. The humans are just in the way.

Two well known and loved franchise collide in this adaptation of the comic book series. In the same way that people wondered who would win in a battle between Daleks and Cybermen, Aliens and Predators have fought in many deathmatches in the heads of fans around the world.

If truth be told, the only reason humans are even involved in the story is to insert some reference for the viewers, as simply watching the two groups of creatures would really not occupy the attention. A bit like watching a foreign movie without subtitles. Humans are also used as bait, fodder and for squishy deaths. The plot is not a great one and just exists to present the battle.

An ok movie if you are a fan of either franchise but not much more to redeem it.
