Trivia

In an interview, director Paul W.S. Anderson said that Arnold Schwarzenegger offered to reprise his role as Dutch Schaeffer (from Predator (1987)) at the end of this movie as a cameo, but only if he lost the election for California governor. See more »

Goofs

When the expedition first reaches the hidden pyramid, one of the characters examines the wall markings after rubbing away the cobwebs from the stone. Are there any spiders that thrive 2000 feet below sea level in Antarctica? Spiders and other arachnids have been known to survive in extremely hostile environments, including at high altitudes, in climates of intense cold and where food supply appears to be scarce. The climate inside the pyramid was warm enough that the humans' breath did not condense. Other survival factors may have been present. Also, the material may have not been spider webs, but strings of dust and particles accumulated over time. See more »

Sheepdom at its finest
15 October 2006 | by (Carlsbad, Bohemia) – See all my reviews

Another great movie spoiled by bad initial critique. And most people jumping on the bandwagon. They moved production of this movie out of Hollywood and lots of people virtually lost jobs to some east European studios where they shot most of the scenes. Lots of anger was present in Hollywood about this, no surprise that initial reviews were strictly negative. This movie is superb in nearly all aspects I watched it more times then all the prequels combined. I like the lead actress and Henriksen as Bishop Weyland, some crew man are actually more interesting then the crew in some Alien prequels, and of course the CGI is finally watchable and say state of the art, not some lame blinking LEDs all over.
