avp: alien vs predator (2004)

"This whole thing was a trap. Without us, there could be no hunt."
An expedition journeys to the polar ice cap, when a pyramid is discovered there, built underground thousands of years ago. What they do not realise is that they are venturing into the hunting ground of the predators, a warlike race of aliens who like nothing more than a good hunt. And the greatest prey they can hunt is the Alien race. Thus the team are trapped between two creatures built to kill. Can any survive?
Good looking, but ultimately unabsorbing actioner.

death race (2007)

"No one is perfect in this world."
2012, the American economy has collapsed, and the government attempts to pascify the populus with death race. A road race where prisoners are enticed to take part by the temptation of their freedom, but where losers die. This is television gold, overseen by the prison warden. But she can and does change the rules to suit her agenda, and one thing she doesn't want is for the most popular driver Frankenstein (Jason Statham) to win another race and be set free.
A re-visioning of the AIP classic, updated for the modern world of blood sports. Where the original had a level of camp fun, this is a by the numbers actioner.

event horizon (1997)

"The ship brought me back. I told you she won't let me leave - she won't let anyone leave."
2047, seven years after the launch of the Event Horizon, a spacecraft that was meant to achieve faster-than-light travel. Unfortunately it has now reappeared lifeless, on the outer edges of our solar system and a team lead by Dr. Weir (Sam Neil) and Captain Miller (Laurence Fishburne) are sent to recover it and discover what happened.
Interesting if not engaging sci-fi horror that ticks along with a soundtrack by Orbital.
