I watched this on Sci-Fi channel last night. It's a very good made for t.v. movie that fans of Alien and Predator should enjoy.
It takes aspects from both series. The government uses alien technology and creates a creature that is xenomorph like, it's a combination of the DNA of every Predatory species on earth combined with human DNA for extreme intelligence. The creature is named 'Legion'.
Legion has the bony exo skeleton of a xenomorph along with the sharp tail of one and it's solid black/brown in color. It's face is yautja like though with 4 tusks/mandibles. It moves very fast and runs on all 4s, looking like a gorilla when it moves. This thing escapes containment and kills just about everyone at the secret base. The military sends in an elite team to kill it with advanced technology, motion trackers, etc. They are a lot like the space marines in Aliens.
It acts like a xenomorph, ruthlessly hunting and killing the soldiers. It moves through vents and ambushes, hauling them up into the vent with it and kills them 1 at a time. There are aspects from the Predator movie as well- long helicopter flight and insertion by the soldiers at the beginning, only 2 survivors, and a nuke at the end and helicopter escape.
It was a pretty good movie.
