Plot Summary: The iconic monsters from two of
the scariest film franchises ever, battle each other on Earth for the first time
on film. The discovery of an ancient pyramid buried in Antarctica sends a team
of scientists and adventurers to the frozen continent. There, they make an even
more terrifying discovery: two alien races engaged in the ultimate battle. No
matter who wins, we lose.
This is a hybrid of the Alien and Predator
franchises from the 80s and 90s (Alien, 1979, spawned three sequels and
Predator, 1987, one) which pits an expedition of scientists to the
Antarctica seeking to uncover the remains of a buried ancient pyramid which has been inhabited for
centuries by aliens and another grotesque planetary race, but the expeditors are unaware of the long
standing war between them...more

- Almost phony baloney
- Don't be deceived -- get out of cinema quick!
