Alien at the Movies

Osiris 

It’s a poor man’s “Aliens” meets “Predators” when a special ops team in a middle of a firefight gets mysteriously abducted.  They awaken from stasis on a dark & strange building or vehicle. As they explore their location, they encounter menacing alien creatures. They also discover a young Russian woman named Ravi. I’ll call her “Newt” as she guides the team in trying to evading these creatures. Later, the group makes a hasty escape by jumping into some kind of garbage chute… then only to be rescued a Russian accented Linda Hamilton. Practical effects with dark & shadowy sets spell out the backdrop for this action packed gun battle film as these heroic soldiers make sacrifices to save the others. This is B picture entertainment. Who will survive this war of the worlds? Look for an underwhelming “Planet of the Apes” moment at the end.

Alien gives it 2½ “Serving Man” stars out of 4.
