Aliens Vs. The Thing is a science fiction film franchise based off the Aliens and The Thing film series, and serves as a crossover for the two film series and a daul-sequel to Alien: Resurrection and The Thing (2011 film), as well as a follow up to The Thing 1982 film, Promethues, and Aliens Vs. Predator: Reqiuem.

Plot
After the events of Alien: Resurrection, the remaining Xenomorphs (Aliens) stationed on an ancient "Predator" spaceship (the one seen in Aliens Vs. Predator: Reqiuem) have gotten a hold of a remaining rejected Ellen Ripley clone (Signourney Weaver). The clone was rejected because it had a ancient disease engineered by the alien race. The disease is engineered to mimick other races to transform one aliens body into the appearance of another. (The Thing) The Xenomorphs use the ship, capable of time travel, to travel back to the 21st century in a plot to unleash the "Thing" disease on mankind and assumilate into their race. The Ellen Ripley clone gains sentience by having directive implanted into her mind by the Alien Queen. Ripley, now knowing her mission, takes command of the ship and Xenomorphs.

Upon arriving on 21st century Earth, they go to the Antartic to find further cells of the disease, as Ripley believes that since the disease was released on Earth back then in the freezing environment it would survive frozen waiting to be harvested.

Meanwhile, after the events of both The Thing films, RJ MacReady (Kurt Russel) and Childs (Keith David), having nearly been frozen to death are found by Kate Llyod (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) in her snow cat. She hesitates to let them in because she doesnt know if theyre human, and sees how the Alien destroyed their base too.

On board the ship, Ellen finds three life signals and believes one could be infected by the disease. The ship goes to their location upon seeing the ship RJ forces himself and Childs into the SnowCat. The Ship fires on the Snowcat and Kate tries to flee from it. In the Snowcat its revealed that Childs has the disease and bursts out a second mouth attempting to kill Kate but the ship fires on the Snowcat before he can do anything. Childs is appearently killed in the wreckage by the fire. A wounded RJ MacReady tries to go off in his own direction. Far from the wreckage a helicopter from the United States government arrives and sees MacReady presumably rescueing him.

Meanwhile, Ripley sees that while Childs, Kate is alive and may have the disease inside her. Kate is abducted onto the ship where she taken care of by several medics (Engineers from Prometheus). Ripley scans her mind to see what has happened. Kate wakes up on the ship not knowing where she is and confused about what happened, she finds that shes laying down on a metal bed and has been changed into a red dress, with all the rest of her clothes removed. She gets off the table and steps down to find that the floor is freezing, struggling to stand, she then tip toes barefoot over to the widow and finds that she's in space. She freaks out even more to find Engineers walk in, she picks up some sort of lamp shaped object, and she threatens to kill them.

Ellen Ripley walks in and tells her she has nothing to be afraid of and to calm down. Kate asks what do they want from her, Ellen tells her that she has been infected by the disease that killed all her friends and its only a matter of time before it kills her too. Ellen offers to "save her life" by extracting the disease from her body and isolating it and claims that it needs to be done quickly before the disease spreads too much. She even goes over to comfort her to make her believe she's safe.

Kate is laid done in a pod, as the medics scan her body and isolate the disease to point of origin which is her right leg that Childs appearently bit before he died. They then use a laser to extract it from her leg and seals the wound. The disease is put in a canaster where it brought to be "destroyed". Ellen then tells her that she will live, and letting her get some rest to ease her mind.

Meanwhile, the canaster is taken to the room containing the Alien Queen, and injected into her. Making her give birth to humaniod alien babies. Kate wakes up and Ellen walks into the room offering to give a tour of the ship to her. They walk around the ship, where Ellen shows her many different areas of the ship including the medical bay, the bridge, the cafetaria, and engine floor. Ellen explains that shes from the future and her origins, to which Kate feels bad for her. They seemingly form a strong friendship.

RJ MacReady is being debriefed in a military base in Arizona, where everyone is suprised at what has happened at both bases in the Antartic, he tells the General (Michael Ironside) to watch for a possible UFO in Antartic airspace. Claiming he's ready to "kill all those alien bastards".

The now weaponized disease is being replicated and turned into bombs. Ripley and Kate arrive on the bridge where in the alien language, the Xenomorphs tell Ripley they are ready unleash the disease. Ripley then tells Kate that theyre "ready to bring her home". They head for Washington DC, where they plan to launch to first bombs. Kate is still clueless as to whats going on. The ships weapons are being released and charging.

A satillite picks up the high energy signature and MacReady's debriefing is interruopted. MacReady over hears the conversation realizing that time is short. He opts to go out on a helicopter and plant the atomic nuke on the ship (one planted on a helicopter in the base), but the General claims that he is not ready to go back into action. Several hours later, MacReady then proceeds to steal the helicopter and go toward the ship (which is over Texas), and attempts to get on the ship in a suicide mission. But he then sees seven f-22 jets flying after him to arrest him. The ship detects the boagies and uses a tractor beam, that pulls the helicopter and the jets towards the ship. But several of the jets explode. Upon arrive on the ship, MacReady and several others are taken into custody. The man bicker and argue about how stupid MacReady's plan was, but MacReady reveals that he has the detonation remote.

As they head to Washington DC, Kate sees the weapons come out the ship and asks Ripley whats really going on to which she reveals the truth and plans to infect every human with the disease and send humanoid aliens to assimulate into the human race by rising to political power. Kate tries to fight Ripley but is easily defeat. She is then taken to the teleportation room and escorted off the ship.

Meanwhile, MacReady reveals that he has activated the nuke and that he and the others have 10 minutes to live. The men find a lever outside the cell, one of the men use a belt to pull it down to deactivate the power cells. They get out and go start shooting all the aliens and look for a way off the ship. They eventually make their way to the teleportation room where they see the knocked out Kate being beamed through, they then begin shooting everyone and the men go through the beam. Ellen sees MacReady for the first time and tries to shoot him but its too late.

The nukes send Emp bursts disabling the ship, Ripley begins sending everyone to search for the cause of malfuctioning. Ripley eventually finds the helicopter that MacReady arrived in and finds the nuke with 10 seconds on the clock, she runs into it and trys to turn it off but its too late the whole ship explodes. The ship is engolfed in flames in mere seconds killing everyone on board and destroying whateer was left of the disease. Kate wakes up in the desert to see the flames a few thousand feet away, speechless. She then begins walking off into the desert commenting on how nice it was to finally walk on hot sand instead of a cold metal floor.

MacReady wakes up somewhere else in the desert with the rest of the mean aiming their guns at him claiming he's under arrest. MacReady, then takes them all on in a fight beating and taking one guys gun and shooting everyone else. He then changes into one of the men's suits and goes of to hitchhike.

The explosion on Earth is recognized as a Predator ship by another Predator in space. The Predator is then seen heading for Earth, thus setting up the events of the first Predator.

Cast and characters

 * Signourney Weavor as Rejected Ellen Ripley Clone #7 - A character from the original Alien film series. However as Ripley commited suicide in Alien 3, she was clone several times, one clone (#8) appeared in Alien: Resurection, the preceding clone, infected with the "Thing" disease is the character who is featured in this film. Unlike previous portrayals, this incarnation of Ripley is the main antagonist of the film rather than the main protagonist. She is loyal to the Xenomorphs and serves as an ambassator for them when they abduct Kate. She poses as a kind hearted friend for her until the end of the movie. She wears a white suit similar to Emma Frost's in Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon.


 * Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Kate Llyodd-the main protagonist for both the 2011 prequel The Thing film and this movie. She is the only survivor from the 2011 movie and eventually comes across MacReady and Childs the survivors from the 1982 film. She gets infected but is saved by Ellen Ripley who extracts the disease from her body to weaponized it. Winstead claims that her character has changed significantly since we last saw her, "she has become more paranoid and afraid of everyone around her until Ripley helps her realize not all aliens are bad and even saves her life. (Ironically Ripley is the antagonist.)" For most of the movie, Winstead wears a red dress that resembles that of Jean Grey's from the Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon, even to the point that she has to go barefoot. Throughout the movie, she is seen uncomfortable with how cold it is in the ship and tip toes alot because the floor is too cold to walk on.


 * Kurt Russel as RJ MacReady - a survivor and main character from the 1982 The Thing movie, after being rescue from Antartica, he is debriefed and goes on a suicide mission to blow up to alien ship. He then escapes getting arrested for disobeying orders by disguising as one of his fellow soilders. Rusell said in an interview: "MacReady has changed slightly from when we last saw him, he's more insane and is willing to kill himself and his fellow humans to destroy all aliens."


 * Keith David as Childs - a sirviving character from the original 1982 The Thing movie, who is infected and dies early in the film.


 * Michael Ironside as the General- seen debreifing MacReady at an Arizona military base.

Arnold Schwarzenegger makes a cameo as his character Dutch from the original Predator movie in one of the debriefing scenes.

References to other movies
Aside from the continuity plot points mentioned above, the movie makes several references to Promethues, the medics seen are actually engineers. The ship used in the Predator ship from the end of the second AVP movie, having been in space for several years.

The Ripley giving Kate a tour around the ship scene is heavily influenced by the Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon episode "Foresite, Part 1", in that Ripley wears a Emma Frost based costume and Kate is wearing a similar dress to what Jean wore, even going barefoot like Jean was somewhat forced to. The fact that Kate is infected and that Ripley wants to save her by extracting it from her body and turning it into a weapon is based heavily on the Pheonix force.
