There will probably be a lot of spotty nerds squealing that this is a cheap Predator rip-off. Believe me, it ain't.
Predator was about, well, an alien predator. So as not to spoil the plot, I'll just say, this ain't. It's got everything, including a bald general (they should have got the guy from Stargate), a likeable psycho commander, a female Lara Croft-lookalike commander complete with PhD and martial art skills, several amusing soldiers who drop faster than Captain Kirk's security officers on an away mission and, well, the aliens (yes, plural). It's sort of Predator, Jurassic Park, Top Gun and a few other genres rolled into one. But believe me, it's not mindless patriotic gun-ho violence.
A worthwhile video. And if you have your mates round, you can play "Guess who buys it next"!
Verdict: 7/10
