Description:
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

Rating : - Waste of Time, Money and My Patience
I can't believe I wasted my time trying to 'watch' this movie. What movie? You can't see anything because it's so poorly lit. The characters are poorly developed and you just don't care. Which in a creature feature isn't so bad. You don't really mind when the babies die, but mindless gore in this particular franchise is unheard of. Shock value is below the belt because that's not what we're expecting to see - we know it happens, but killing off the pregnant mother (through impregnation?), the father and son duo and the innocent babes on screen degrades the alien-on-alien and alien-vs-human gore to the childish nightmares for sale in films like Hostel. Give us a good 'boo' or a spine chill like the original Alien/Aliens series or give us a great combat like in Predator.

The first AVP had everything that would be expected to complete the merger of these two great franchises... but AVP2, well... guess you'll just have to read the comix. At least they have something you can see.
