After her fathers disappearance, Laura returns to the bayou to run his swamp tour business. Charles, her professor ex-husband who has been banned from teaching in the US due to his experiments on living creatures, shows up unexpectedly to talk about her father's land.
After brushing him off, Laura takes a young couple on a tour which is bound to end in disaster. Not only has Laura not been in the swamp for years, but the young man is in the marines and will be shipping out in two days. Oh and he's going to propose to his girlfriend on this tour. All you'd have to throw in is that he's going to retire and he's about to have his first child, and you'd have hit all the bases for guaranteed death.
Meanwhile the Sheriff is looking for some missing people, including some of his own force. After heading out into the swamp, he manages to get stranded on a ladder after the giant alligator chomps his boat. Not sure why a ladder is leaning against a tree in the middle of the swamp, but the Sheriff spends quite a bit of time up there, so I guess it is handy for something.
Meanwhile Charles is working on his secret cloning project with his two inbred hillbilly henchmen. Why would anyone ever hire inbred hillbillies to work with scientific equipment? I can see using them as enforcers, but they're involved in the actual scientific process too, which makes no sense especially since one appears to be mentally challenged. So much for valid scientific progress.
Alligator X is a much better title than Xtinction:Predator X. I would not have even bothered watching something that reminds me of the Predator. But alligators are another story. However the problem with both titles is that they bring thoughts of Malcolm X and how are you supposed to take the alligator seriously after that thought?
Also the CGI alligator is as ridiculous looking as the one on the cover and it's size is inconsistent.
