Review: Everybody probably knows about the Aiens from the 1979 Ridley Scott movie Alien, and everybody probably knows about the Aliens, called predators, from the 1987 Predator movie staring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Both excellent movies. This movie merges the Alien universe and the Predator universe, explaining in the meantime the origin of pyramids. It's all about Predators breathing Aliens as 'sparing partners' to make Predators out of predators. The atmosphere of both movies are blended well into this movie and very subtle the movie hints at its 'parents'. Never over the top, staying consistent with how Predators and Aliens are and leaving the door open to a sequel.
Need to see it: When you're into SF, then this is the one you should see these days. Excellent non-space aliens movie. When you like the Alien installment and/or the Predator universe, then this movie won't disappoint you since it stays true with both movies.
