Summary
Reviewers say 'Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem' is a divisive film with intense action, gore, and creature effects, praised for its homage to the original 'Alien' and 'Predator' movies. Improved creature designs and more violent content are highlighted, yet criticisms include dark cinematography, lack of a compelling human story, and inconsistent lore. Despite these flaws, it is seen as an entertaining addition, especially for fans of the original franchises.
Featured reviews
I was only fourteen when I first saw the Alien movies and I immediately came to like it. Original, terrifying and classic. Sigourney Weaver was the perfect choice for the female hero character and she would have deserved a statuette for her act. In 1979 something everlasting was born than the immortal series continued with a nothing less legendary movie than the first. Alien3 was a different point of view but I think this part was the most stressful and unique of all, this was my favourite. Unfortunately the last one was a failure in many ways. It was strained, illogical with full of meaningless massacres. I didn't like it at all, but I never thought that a worse part would ever be made in the future. Well as it turned out in 2004 I was wrong. Alien vs. Predator was a bad break, and it should have been directed by a more talented director or should have never been made at all. But when I saw Alien vs Predator Requiem I was totally shocked moreover devastated. When I sat down and decided to watch it with full of doubt, even than I had never thought that such a bad movie could be made. Without a screenplay, without a director and without actors I don't understand how can a film be made. Because this film misses these three terms. What you get is a nice massacre show without a story but with a lot of annoying and boring dialogues. Waste of money and waste of time. This movie is rather impudence, than honor to the fans of the both sides (Alien/Predator). Shame!
But that's what I love about it. The Predator is the most bada** representation I've seen and the Predalien was bada** as well. (Skip the Human parts though, just watch the Predator/Alien story. It's not that bad)
AVP2 Wasen't as bad as i had been told but there was still something lacking that made both AVP movies not live up to their original standards it felt as if two movies were kinda spliced together with the Alien vs Predator battles happening outside the town and near the ending happening in the town and watching the town people get on with their daily life it didn't feel like a alien or a predator movie but still i did like the fact that only one Predator could take on so many foe's and made it feel again the Predator is a one man army but the Predator is seen too much for my likening unlike in the 1st Predator movie were he is not scene fully to nearer the end and the main characters are really underdeveloped and give me little to no interest at all about their fate and it feels like the story was kinda rushed throughout but despite this not a bad movie to watch and get some friends round and watch with a few beers probably better to rent this movie rather than buy it and blu ray really makes a difference. but there's hope the new Predators movie makes up for the AVP Movies but still avp2 is worth a shot it could end up as it is to me a guilty pleasure as fury the film fan would say enjoy the show.
I honestly thought that this could've been a great movie, but all of it was shot in the dark! I want to enjoy the kills and the alien and predator costumes, but I couldn't see crap, so I had to Lower the rating. If I could see what was happening, this movie would get a 9.
I was so excited when I heard that finally this movie was coming to the theaters because I really liked the first AVP. But it was the worst movie ever of the alien and predator history, including the separate ones...it was so bad that 1 month ago on the internet released a fan movie called "alien vs hunter" I think something like that...it was a "b" movie...I can tell you this that I enjoyed more the fake "b" movie than the original AVPR. Its a shame that they destroyed a movie and the concept of it and I really hope the director of this movie also the lame writer to never get a real job ever in the movies industry...Im wondering if they are proud of the job they did?...because I feel disgraced of watching this crap...get a real job gentlemen..and leave the writing and directing to the professionals. It was so dark all the time you couldn't see anything..r it was supposed to imagine what was happening? The fight scenes?...I've seen so much better on TV series like Babylon 5 or something and the pred-alien? I still don't remember how it looked like. Honestly I really wish that the people who worked in this movie never get a job again because they just destroyed a LEGEND. Waste of money,waste of time.

Did you know
- TriviaIn one of the movie's behind-the-scenes featurettes, director of photography Daniel Pearl stated that he wanted to visually differentiate this movie from its predecessor Alien vs. Predator (2004), which he criticized for its use of fixed cameras, wide shots and excessively bright lighting, because in his opinion, this revealed way too much of the creatures. Reasoning that monster horror works better in dark environments with documentary-style photography, Pearl employed hand-held cameras and dimly illuminated sets to get the desired effect. Ironically, the film would later be criticized mostly for its overuse of 'shaky cam' and excessively murky lighting, with people complaining that they couldn't see much of the action.
- GoofsThere is no reason given why the main characters are not able to escape by driving away from the town.
Correction: Colonel Stevens tells Sheriff Morales that all ground routes out of town have been compromised. While he doesn't elaborate further the Army is clearly trying to seal off the area and contain the Xenomorphs, which would include keeping someone impregnated by a facehugger from getting out. Stevens' monitors show they are jamming all communications from the town: landlines, cell phones, internet plus all civilian and law enforcement radio frequencies. The government obviously doesn't want anyone learning about what happened here either, so the Army likely has all the roads blocked off to prevent anyone from leaving.
- Crazy creditsThe opening title card features many sound effects from the previous movies, such as motion tracker beeps from Aliens, and the Predator POV humming.
- Alternate versionsAliens vs. Predator: Requiem was released on DVD, Blu-ray and PSP UMD Disc on April 15, 2008, in North America and May 12, 2008, in the United Kingdom by Fox Home Entertainment. It was released in three versions: a single-disc, R-rated version of the 94-minute theatrical presentation, a single-disc unrated version extended to 101 minutes and a two-disc unrated version with the 101-minute film and a second disc of special features.
