Packed with adrenaline-pumping action and heart-stopping suspense, this spectacular sequel escalates the war between sci-fi's scariest movie icons!
On Earth everyone can hear you scream, especially when a horrifying PredAlien crash-lands near a small Colorado town, killing everyone it encounters-and producing countless Alien offspring-with terrifying efficiency. When a lone Predator arrives to "clean up" the infestation, it's an all-out battle to the death with no rules, no mercy, and hundreds of innocent people caught in the crossfire. As the creature carnage continues, a handful of human survivors attempt a daring escape, but the U.S. government may be hatching a deadly plan of its own...
For those who found 2004's Aliens vs. Predator too lightweight in the gore-and-guns department, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem offers a marked improvement in both categories, as well as a respectable amount of rumbles between the title extraterrestrials. Set in the 21st century (which predates the story to all of the Alien features), Requiem sends a crippled Predator ship crashing to Earth in a small Colorado town; unbeknownst to the locals, the craft is loaded with H.R. Giger's insectoid monsters, which make quick work of most of the population. As the human cast is slowly whittled to a few hardy (if unmemorable) souls, a Predator warrior also arrives to complicate matters and do battle with the Aliens, as well as a ferocious alien-Predator hybrid (dubbed a Predalien by the sci-fi and horror press). Visual-effects designers and music-video helmers The Strause Brothers (who make their feature directorial debut here) keep the action on frantic throughout, which is wise, since the dialogue and characters are threadbare at best; that should matter little to teenage male viewers, who are inarguably the film's key audience. Fans of the Alien franchise, however, may find the offhanded nod to the series' mythology given during the finale its sole saving grace. --Paul Gaita

A More Likable Predator:
In AVP:REQUIEM, the audience sees that a transformation has occurred in the character of the Predator. While the Alien remains the same mindless gore hungry killer that Sigourney Weaver first encountered in the original, the Predator has slowly begun to morph from the skull collecting trophy hunter that Arnold Schwarzenegger faced to a hunter that has a purpose over and above killing its prey. With each Predator sequel, we learn a bit more about what motivates the species. To begin with, for the first time... more info
Not Great, But Better Than the First AVP:
The bare bones of AVP-R is the Predator ship carrying the Pred-alien from the first AVP crashes back to Earth, and the mayhem that always accompanies Aliens trying to make babies ensues. Cue face-huggers. Cue bursting chest scenes. Cue clueless humans. Much running. Much screaming. Not much that is new. Except the Pred-alien, and the Predator with a Purpose. What do you get when you cross an Alien, and a Predator? An Alien with quasi-dreadlocks and the ability to scare, intimidate, and/or command the... more info
very bad script:
Very bad script. In the previous AVP, there were several Predators on the ship. The ship should not crash back to the earth. If it's another ship, after the crash, only aliens can survive?! Why only one predator came to do the clean up job?!The whole movie is shown in dark background and make it not enjoyable.Don't buy this movie, just rent it.
Not a bad movie!:
first off AVP R is a lot better than the original. I perferd the R rating over the PG-13.(It dident really matter there were like[...] kids watching it with there parents when i saw it in theaters.) The special effects are good and the acting is so-so. altho it is sort of predictable the deaths are good! Alot of memorable moments. Expecialy in the Unrated Version.
