Plot: On the Illium Range , Russ (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), Anne (Melissa George) and their children Timmy (Jacob Tremblay) and Newt (Lulu Wilson) — are in their vehicle searching gold. Timmy is yelling to Newt about cheating at monster maze (a game the children play inside the colony's air ducts) because Newt can go in places the other kids cannot reach due to her smaller size. Anne stops the fight, before the family stumble upon a derelict spacecraft. Anne and Russ head inside to investigate, but Russ is attacked by a Facehugger. Anne calls back to Hadley's Hope, the colony, for help as Newt screams.
Russ awakens in the colony's infirmary 25 hours later while Anne, Dr. Kent (Charlie Hunnam) and sergeant Draper (Frank Grillo) check on his present condition. Timmy and Newt are not allowed in to see their father, but them to sneak through the air ducts so that they can see him. They reach a vent overlooking the infirmary, from where they observe as Dr. Kent tells Russ and Anne that more people have been sent to investigate the ship. At that moment, several of the men return, some of whom have also been subdued by Facehuggers. Suddenly, the Chestburster inside Russ emerges, killing him as Newt watches in terror. Hell breaks loose.
A few days later, Anne, Newt, Timmy and the rest of survive colonists are being moved to a sub-level storage room for safety. One of the men explains that the Xenomorphs are hunting them one by one and it is better to barricade themselves and make a stand because the Marines are on their way.
One of the colonists,tells Anne that they have located the Xenomorph's nest inside the colony's Atmosphere Processing Plant and that an armed party has been sent to kill the creatures. However, Veldman (Jack O'Connell) and Draper, the men commanding the party, soon radios in and frantically explains that there are a lot more Xenomorphs than they anticipated, and that they have discovered what has happened to the missing colonists and livestock. Then, the signal is lost.
The Xenomorphs head for the colony en masse. In the sub-basement, Anne asks another colonist for a gun, telling them that, if it comes to it, she would rather kill her own children than let the Xenomorphs take them alive. After hearing gunshots outside, one of the men insists they open the door and try to help the survivors. Against the protests of others, the barricade is opened and they find a badly injured and dying Veldman, along with the entire Xenomorph horde. The Xenomorphs pour inside the storage room and proceed to slaughter or capture everyone.Draper arrives suddenly and kills some xenomorphs before being killed. Amidst the chaos, Anne prepares to kill her children, but Timmy insists they can escape trough the air ducts. However, as they try to flee a Xenomorph Warrior attacks Anne and kills her. Timmy grabs her pistol and shoots the creature, but is hit by the acid blood that bursts from its body, killing him too. Only Newt manages to escape.
Two weeks later Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and colonial marines arrives in a planet and find Newt.

REVIEWS
"While technically telling a new story in the universe, Planet LV 426 covers a lot of familiar ground - not all of it good." - Dave Cone, New York Post
"While Anthony Russo dipped his toes in big-budget filmmaking with the Captain America sequels, he clearly is not up for making large scale movies without his brother and the ever-helpful Marvel Cinematic Universe manager Kevin Feigue holding his hand along the way. The movie is hard to follow at times and tends to lean too heavily on CGI-overload." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
"Planet LV 426 plays almost like a greatest hits compilation of the first two Alien movies (Alien and Aliens) - and I'm not complaining one bit." - Roger Taggart, Chicago Tribune
Rated R for graphic sci-fi violence and language
