A Scifi Battle with depth

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2012)

I guess Lance is destined to be forever linked to the Alien species. I found the character's middle name of "Bishop" particularly amusing, since that was his character's name in both the second and third Alien movies with Sigorney Weaver. Puns and amusements aside, this film does not disappoint. Lance gives another great performance in his role as the rich, dying man who has spent his life pursuing wealth and now wants to leave a legacy beyond money. Sanaa Lathan delivers a powerful role that is both believable and heroic, without being over the top. Colin Salmon (of the James Bond film Die Another Day) is exceptional as Weyland's assistant and representative. The film moves quickly and the actors are often overshadowed by the creatures as they fight to survive. Violence and gore make this one a no-no for the preteens, but the 14 and up crowd have seen as much gore on their X-Box or PS2, so they should be okay. A good film for lovers of sci-fi, and must have for the Alien and Predator fans.
