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

 very bad script November 19, 2008
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! November 17, 2008
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.
 graphic violence and lots of fear November 16, 2008
I remember when both Alien and Predator were popular movies. BOTH had me pretty frightened as a young child with his mind constantly wondering and unsure what was even going on!
Now, many years later, I'm an adult now, and yet, I still feel somewhat scared when I watch the movies, because they portray humans unable to defend themselves against these huge POWERFUL creatures, and I think that's the thing that bothers me the most.
Alien vs. Predator was disturbing in that, it seemed whenever someone lost their life, their friends and family would die next, in graphic ways.
This movie shows everything from little kids having aliens shoot from their bellies while hunting in the woods, to pregnant women in hospitals having aliens munch through their stomach and stick their sharp dangerous teeth in the air, while the patients and nurses were forced to watch these graphic things happen.
This made Alien vs. Predator a VERY scary film. One I highly recommend. Everything from nurses getting their heads popped off, to sharp teeth chewing on peoples faces, to a pizza delivery boy getting his buns kicked by the new boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend.
It WILL be a bit hard keeping track of what's going on half the time though, because there's like, 20 different main characters in the film, showcasing a variety of different friends and families, and because the film takes place at night time for the most part, it's hard to tell who actually won the fight between the alien and the predator. I think the creature with green juice squirting out of him lost.
There WERE some predictable moments though, such as the monsters swimming through swimming pools while people were in the pool, and you KNEW they would swim after the people.
The amount of blood is very very high throughout the film.
Oh, and the ending scene is VERY cool.
 AVP -- Amps Volts Problem November 15, 2008
I have to agree with those who thought the lighting was terrible. It was like watching shadows on the wall. I'm certainly glad I'm not the only one who is complaining about this.
good, but had quite a few flaws November 12, 2008
I liked the movie, the action was good for the most part and the acting was, well not horrible but not fantastic. the only problem was how they only sent out one predator. I mean 4 or 5 wouldve made the movie much better or a whole army wouldve been bad a$$. The other problem was it was extremely dark, I feel bad for anybody with a bootleg copy of the movie, it was so dark in some scenes you couldnt see what was going on. A little brightness and more than one predator wouldve made the movie much better than it was.
