Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is a B movie that truly earns its B. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Provides enough cheap thrills and modest suspense to shake a few shekels from genre fans before really blasting off as homevid product. Read full review

Neil Genzlinger

It may not be classic sci-fi like the original “Alien,” which it has in its DNA, but it’s a perfectly respectable next step in the series. Read full review

Josh Rosenblatt

An orgy of mindless violence, a random collection of bloody bodies, alien misanthropy, and slobbering carnage designed to bore straight into the pleasure centers of 13-year-old boys and leave the rest of us wondering when the movies got so damn loud. Read full review

James Berardinelli

--- Ho, ho, ho - the joke's on anyone who pays to see this. Read full review

Jason Anderson

It's unclear whether any of the actors here have promising political careers since their only purposes are to serve as prey, adversaries and involuntary incubators to their guests. Read full review

Scott Tobias

A tasteless, witless, mindlessly perfunctory bloodbath that has the discourtesy to take itself seriously. Pitting aliens against predators may be the height of frivolity, but God forbid anyone have fun with it. Read full review

At last. Now this is what an "AVP" film should be: "Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem" has it all - action, special effects, violence, gore, and two races of alien beasts dueling for supremacy. It's an intense action experience from start to finish!

From the the opening credits to the closing credits this is hi octane actions mixed in with unrelenting gore, blood and scenes that will make most feel a little queasy.

New weapons for the Predators, a New Badass addition to the Aliens plus plenty of cannon fodder means this is well executed stuff.

There all faults in there but nothing that can't be overlooked and overall we have a movie that eradicates the horror of the first entry whilst giving us horror for all the right reasons this time around.

Brothers Strange, you saved a franchise. Let the hunt continue......… Expand

AvP: R is teh swweetest film in a decade. Aylesworth's brilliance on screen in transcedant. I can't wait for the next foray into this, possibly the greatest of all stories told by humans.

This film really gets a lot of flack that it doesn't actually deserve. Okay, maybe I have a slightly different view of films than the general population, though I have discovered that my feelings of a film generally sit well with the ratings that appear on Metacritic, in most cases that is.This film really gets a lot of flack that it doesn't actually deserve. Okay, maybe I have a slightly different view of films than the general population, though I have discovered that my feelings of a film generally sit well with the ratings that appear on Metacritic, in most cases that is. Okay, I can sort of understand how people have reacted to some of the gore that appears in this film, and also the rather lame attempt at creating a Predalien, though I don't necessarily think that it was as bad as some people believe (though its ability to generate eggs as if it were a queen was something that sort of came out of the blue).

Look, sure, there are a few scenes in this film that do break the cardinal rules of story telling, such as never killing kids, or suddenly killing off a character with no tension or lead up whatsoever, but that didn't actually undermine my enjoyment of the film. Sure, one could argue that there is either the shock factor, or pushing the boundaries, though I still find the onscreen killing of kids to be going just that little bit too far. As for the sudden death due to friendly fire, well, that goes beyond lazy story telling. Sure, in movies like this, we expect that pretty much a majority of the characters are going to die, but the thing is there are ways to kill of a character in a cinematic way, and the more important the character is, the more cinematic the death should be. Unfortunately, at one point in this film they did drop the ball somewhat.

So, the film is pretty much set straight after the first in this series, and we have a predator that has been infested with an alien. Well, the alien escapes, causes damage to the ship, escapes in an escape pod and returns to Earth where it crashes in the Colorado wilderness. Also, the pod contains a number of face huggers, so you can be assured that this scenario is going to be set up with lots and lots of Aliens running around this small American town. Actually, this is a scenario that had yet to be explored, so I guess this is one of the reasons that I actually quite liked the film. However, before one of the predators was killed, it managed to send off a distress signal, so another predator travels to Earth to basically clean up the mess - thus we have what one could consider a true Alien vs Predator film.

Yeah, now that I think about it, that previous film really did let me down a bit, namely because of the whole idea that the predators created the Aliens to hunt, and us humans were really only fodder to fuel their hunting desires. While the pyramid under the ice was pretty cool, simply turning us into just another game reserve for a bunch of hunters really didn't do it for me to the same extent.

However, this film was much better in that regards, particularly with not only having an Alien infestation reach Earth, but also having a Predator, and a particularly will trained one at that, coming in to attempt to clean it all up. Where as the first movie pretty much had a bulk of the predators being taken out by the aliens fairly quickly, it was much better watching a seasoned hunter deal with them with no problem whatsoever. I guess that is another reason why they had to create the Predalien, even if it is only to give this particular guy a challenge. Still, with the speed at which the Alien's propogate he certainly wasn't in the position to clean the area up completely, which is why they had to end it the way they did.

Still, it is pretty clear that the only way to bring this film to a close was they way that they brought it to a close. Maybe it seemed to be one of those situations that pretty much everything was lost so they pretty much pressed the reset button. However, considering that there were a lot of scenes which were reminiscent of the earlier films, when we consider Aliens, then the ending here was rather appropriate.… Expand

Esta película es aburrida. Los personajes son aburridos, olvidables y algunos mal actuados.

Los personajes son aburridos, olvidables y algunos mal actuados. Ejemplo: en una parte un Alien mata a una persona en frente de otra persona y en ves de sentir miedo parece que esta mirando a la cámara, y cuando le preguntan que paso parece que en ves de miedo tiene frío. A mi me gusto un poco AVP1 por que al menos las escenas de acción eran buenas y algunos personajes memorables, me acuerdo de la protagonista, me acuerdo de el fundador de la corporación, me acuerdo de el arqueólogo (aun que no sus nombres, creo que ni los dicen xD) pero al final me pareció decente, sin embargo, esta película es lo contrario. En las escenas de acción la cámara se mueve mucho aparte de que esta muy oscuro y lloviendo a la vez. Los únicos personajes que me importaron eran el policía y el Predator, el resto me daba igual, hubiera preferido que el poli, Dalas y el predator hubieran escapado en ves de la niñita inútil, su madre aburrida, y el hermano de Dalas con Dalas. En la anterior habían unos cuantos errores que pensé que se solucionarían aquí como: que los Alien tardan de 1 a media hora en salir del cuerpo en ves de 2/5 horas como se ve en las películas de Alien. Aquí lo empeoraron, según parece el PredAlien puede poner huevos dentro de sus victimas y reproducir los Xenomorphos sin necesidad de una reina Alien. Le doy un 04/10 es dolorosamente mediocre, menos mal que hoy en día AVP1 y AVP2 ya no son canon en las franquicias Alien y Predator. Aunque seria genial que fueran del mismo universo y espero que en el futuro hagan un AVP canon como debería ser.… Expand
