the enemy of my enemy, is my friend

Rating: 6/10 (5 October 2004)

This film starts with the same cliché idea as "Armageddon" - the team of experts. Its members are recruited from places all over the world in order to investigate a strange pyramid, found 600 m under frozen Antarctica, pyramid which embodies symbols and architecture of three ancient civilizations: Egyptian, Mayan and ancient Cambodian. The screen play is not so great, as it is almost the same as we've seen in many Hollywood movies. After some "traps" inside the pyramid are activated unknowingly by some crew members, thus bringing to life the Alien-mother, and after some Predators descend from space in order to eliminate the alien species, the humans realize that they can only survive if they team up with their enemy's enemy (the Predators). Overall, the movie is not so great, although well filmed. I especially disliked that it is too dark, as throughout the entire length of the movie the action takes place either inside the pyramid (the only source of light are flashlights or flares) or outside (where it is also dark, being night). It is worth seeing unless you have a better choice.
