Movie Reviews of Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem
Movie Review: Please, just kill them now.
Summary: 3 Stars
Now here was a sequel that no-one was waiting for. After the horrendous AVP - Alien Vs. Predator, someone, somewhere, decided there needed to be a follow-up. And yes, I decided to rent it. And yes, I kind of wish I hadn't.
But just to note, AvP-R is a better movie that its originator, if only because there's no convuluted maze for the Aliens, Predators and Humans to go running around in. This time, a small town in BFE, Colorado gets infested when a Predator Drone filled with nasty little critters inexplicably gets sent back to Earth. The Predator that had an Alien baby inside at the end of AvP-1 also escapes and becomes a pretty cool Pralien. A fresh predator from the mothership comes to Earth to wipe out the new brood (and kill a few humans along the way). But soon the town is populated with a whole bunch of central casting hopefuls, like the teenaged bully, the good girl, the troubled kid with a good heart, the worried cop, kooky homelss guy, a man who had to look in the dark corner, etc. Before you can say "I Know What You Did Last Space Camp," the small Colorado town is crawling with Aliens and dead bodies and AvP-R becomes an Intergalactic Slasher Flick.
This works for about 3/4's of the movie, with some memorable scenes thrown in for good mesaure. The Maternity Ward act is pure genius and won't be soon forgotten, however, the ending is pure tack-on. It takes what might have been a decent film and drops it to a special FX bit of hack-work. Only the twist adds any satisfaction, just barely. Fans only.
Summary of Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem
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
