Quick recap

In 2004, a Weyland Industries satellite picks up a heat bloom under the ice of an island near Antarctica. Billionaire Charles Bishop Weyland assembles a team, led by climber Alexa "Lex" Woods, and finds a pyramid mixing Aztec, Egyptian and Cambodian styles. There, young Predators go through a rite: every hundred years, a captive Xenomorph Queen is woken up to breed prey, using humans as hosts. The Xenomorphs hatch, and the team is caught between both sides. Weyland dies, and only Lex is left. She teams up with Scar, the last Predator, and together they blow up the pyramid and fight the Queen. Scar dies, and the Predators hand Lex a spear. On their ship, something bursts out of Scar's chest.
