The Predator scout ship from the first AVP movie crash lands in a Colorado town after being taken over by the Pred-Alien that was spawned at the end of the first movie. The Aliens on board escape while all Predators are killed. A Predator from the Predator home world becomes aware of the crash and embarks alone on a mission to destroy all the Aliens. Meanwhile the townspeople are helplessly caught in the middle of the face-off between these two alien races. The situation escalates, leading to the military dropping a nuclear bomb on the town, killing all humans and presumably all aliens. The few human survivors, who made a narrow escape in a helicopter, deliver a captured Predator weapon to the military. I find it interesting that they release this movie on Christmas Day. What was more surprising, the theater was packed for the first matinee (11:45 am). And it wasn’t all children. It was the opportunity of a lifetime for the Alien creatures – an endless supply of humans. Even children and infants weren’t spared in this one. Unfortunately there weren’t enough Predators and the proliferation of Aliens exceeded that of rabbits. There wasn’t a “big momma” in this one. However, there were enough mid-size models running around to make this one a real chest popfest. Not a super plot but you wouldn’t go to this movie expecting one. Actually there hasn’t been a version of this to top the original 1979 Alien. However, it was 84 minutes of gory mindless entertainment and was a good stress releiver to all the holiday stuff. My guess is that Alien and Predator will have a long and prosperous existence much like Freddy and Jason.
