In 2004, a satellite detects a mysterious heat bloom beneath
Bouvetøya, an island about one thousand miles north of Antarctica. Wealthy
industrialist Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen) assembles a team of
scientists to investigate the heat source and claim it for his multinational
communications company, Weyland Industries. The team includes archaeologists,
linguistic experts, drillers, mercenaries, and a guide named Alexa Woods (Sanaa
Lathan).
As a Predator ship reaches Earth's orbit, it blasts a shaft
through the ice towards the source of the heat bloom. When the humans arrive at
the site above the heat source, an abandoned whaling station, they find the
shaft and descend beneath the ice. They discover a mysterious pyramid and begin
to explore it, finding evidence of a civilization predating written history and
what appears to be a sacrificial chamber filled with human skeletons with
ruptured rib cages.Meanwhile, three Predators land and kill the humans on the
surface, making their way down to the pyramid and arriving just as the team
unwittingly powers up the structure. An Alien queen awakens from cryogenic
stasis and begins to produce eggs, from which facehuggers hatch and attach to
several humans trapped in the sacrificial chamber. Chestbursters emerge from
the humans and quickly grow into adult Aliens. Conflicts erupt between the
Predators, Aliens, and humans, resulting in several deaths. Unbeknownst to the
others, a Predator is implanted with an Alien embryo.Through translation of the
pyramid's hieroglyphs the explorers learn that the Predators have been visiting
Earth for thousands of years. It was they who taught early human civilizations
how to build pyramids, and were worshipped as gods. Every 100 years they would
visit Earth to take part in a rite of passage in which several humans would
sacrifice themselves as hosts for the Aliens, creating the "ultimate
prey" for the Predators to hunt. If overwhelmed, the Predators would
activate their self-destruct weapons to eliminate the Aliens and themselves.
The explorers deduce that this is why the current Predators are at the pyramid,
and that the heat bloom was to attract humans for the purpose of making new
Aliens to hunt.
The remaining humans decide that the Predators must be
allowed to succeed in their hunt so that the Aliens do not reach the surface.
As the battle continues most of the characters are killed, leaving only Alexa
and a single Predator to fight against the Aliens. The two forms an alliance
and use the Predator’s self-destruct device to destroy the pyramid and the
remaining Aliens. Alexa and the Predator reach the surface, where they battle
the escaped Alien queen. They defeat the queen by attaching its chain to a
water tower and pushing it over a cliff into the water, dragging the queen to
the ocean floor. The Predator, however, dies from its wounds.
AVP (2007)
It's the second film that continues the story of the first AVP movie.
The story begins with a Predator spaceship which is leaving
Earth carrying dead Aliens, living face-huggers, and the body of the Predator
that defeated the Alien queen. A chestburster erupts from the dead Predator's
body; it is a new creature that is a hybrid of Alien and Predator
characteristics. It quickly matures into an adult and begins killing Predators
throughout the ship. A Predator's weapons fire punctures the hull and the ship
crashes in the forest outside of Gunnison, Colorado.With the Predators dead,
the hybrid and several face-huggers escape, implanting embryos into a nearby
father and son and into several homeless people living in the sewers. A
distress signal from the wrecked ship reaches the Predator home world and a
lone Predator responds, traveling to Earth and using its advanced technology to
observe the cause of the crash and to track the face-huggers. It begins to
erase the evidence of the Aliens' presence by destroying the crashed ship and
using a blue liquid to dissolve the bodies of the face-huggers and their
victims.
AVP (2007)
It's the second film that continues the story of the first AVP movie.
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem was released on December 25,
2007 and received a largely negative response from film critics. The film
grossed $9.5 million on its opening day and took in a worldwide gross of $128.9
million in theaters. According to Home Media Magazine, the film debuted at #1
in sales and rentals on Blu-ray and on DVD when it was released on home video
on April 15, 2008. Since then, the film has gained $28,550,434 in home video
sales, bringing its total film gross to $157,461,400.

Meanwhile, ex-convict Dallas Howard (Steven Pasquale) has
just returned to Gunnison after serving time in prison. He is greeted by
Sheriff Eddie Morales (John Ortiz) and reunites with his younger brother Ricky
(Johnny Lewis). Ricky has a romantic interest in his more affluent classmate
Jesse (Kristen Hager) and is being harassed by her boyfriend Dale (David
Paetkau) and two of his friends. Kelly O'Brien (Reiko Aylesworth) has also just
returned to Gunnison after service in the military, and reunites with her
husband Tim (Sam Trammell) and daughter Molly (Ariel Gade).The Predator fights
a number of Aliens in the sewers and as the battle reaches the surface several
of them disperse into the town. The Predator pursues some to the power plant,
where collateral damage from its weaponry causes a city-wide power outage.
Ricky and Jesse meet at the high school swimming pool but are interrupted by
Dale and his cohorts just as the power fails and an Alien enters the building,
killing Dale's friends. Another Alien invades the O'Brien home, killing Tim
while Kelly escapes with Molly.
Kelly, Molly, Ricky, Jesse, Dale, Dallas, and Sheriff
Morales meet at a sporting goods store to gather weapons. Troops from the
Colorado Army National Guard arrive but are quickly killed by the Aliens. When
the battle between the Predator and the Aliens enters the store, Dale is killed
and the Predator's shoulder cannons are damaged; it is able to modify one into
a hand-held blaster. As the survivors attempt to escape Gunnison they make
radio contact with Colonel Stevens (Robert Joy), who indicates that an air
evacuation is being staged at the center of town. Kelly is suspicious of the
military's intentions, convincing a small group to go to the hospital where
they hope to escape by helicopter, while Sheriff Morales heads to the
evacuation area with the rest of the surviving citizens. The hospital, however,
has been invaded by Aliens and the hybrid creature. The Predator soon arrives
and in the ensuing battle Jesse is killed, Ricky is injured, and Dallas takes
possession of the Predator's blaster cannon.
As the battle reaches the rooftop, Dallas, Ricky, Kelly, and
Molly escape in the helicopter while the Predator battles the hybrid
hand-to-hand. The two creatures mortally wound each other just as a military
jet arrives; rather than a rescue airlift it is a bomber, executing a tactical
nuclear strike that destroys the entire city and kills all of the
extraterrestrials along with the remaining citizens. The shock wave causes the
fleeing helicopter to crash in a clearing, where the survivors are rescued by
the military. The Predator's blaster cannon is confiscated by Colonel Stevens
and presented to a Ms. Yutani.
AVP 3
This movie is still a rumor today. There is no sequel or official announcement released yet on this film. Now it is continuing with fan series.
Fan story - From the beginning, fans have wanted an Alien vs Predator film to take place in space far in the future. The Strauses had a few of their own ideas for a potential storyline. One of the ideas took place after Aliens and another one involved the space jockey creature seen in the original Alien. Of course, a movie set in space is costly and it’s obvious the studio doesn’t want to take the risk. If AvP3 does ever get the greenlight we could end up with another poor Earth-based setting. Shane Salerno also pitched a story to Fox where the Predator ship crashed in Afghanistan and the movie revolved around a Special Forces team.
