I don't know how this keeps getting messed up by studios. Predator. Alien. They fight. Maybe they should just adapt the Dark Horse comic already, because both movies pretty much stink. Although this makes the first one look like one of the greats. A Predator cleaner is sent to earth to take care of a nest of aliens. Sounds great right? Wrong. Next time someone says anyone can direct a movie - use this as an example of why this isn't true. Lame characters. It's too dark and the story is muddled. The two directors were previously SFX directors and to that job they should remain. Just a bad movie all around.

First and foremost, I adore both the Alien and Predator franchises. The first AVP was garbage outside of a stretch of 10 minutes where we saw the fighting that we paid to see. But the hybrid creature that burst from the Predator's chest at the end? Enticing cliffhanger. What happens when you crossbreed a perfect killing machine that sulks in the shadows without being seen, with the perfect hunting creature that hides in the trees? Apparently you get a big lizard hellbent on smashing his head against literally everything in sight. The characters are garbage, the plot is garbage, it's a technically bad movie in every sense of the word, but primarily it's an over-the-top gorefest without any of the fun attached. Good god, this movie is unwatchable. Especially if you enjoy either of the two bastardized franchises.

A truly awful movie that commences the first part of the story line in a sewer in near pitch darkness and remains there, possibly for atmosphere but more likely to mask the deficiencies of the special effects meaning you will be squinting long before the end credits roll proudly and tell you all about the makers.There is nothing wrong with B Movies and working with new talent or on a limited budget but there is a lot wrong with being pretentious along with it. Skip this and watch the first movies, they are less obnoxious and far less tedious.

If you compare AVP Requiem to the former Aliens and Predators movies, yes, this movie is behind them. This movie is like an (expensive) B movie. Beside, AVP Requiem doesn't take place in giant futuristic spaceship or underground secret temple, but only in a simple small town neighborhood. This thing make this movie has different feel and atmosphere from its former movies. I found AVP Requiem is more similar to old-school monster movies like Tremor, Arachnophobia, Python, Ghostbusters, and Night of Living Dead. I think because of this "disconnection", many people (especially Aliens and Predators fans) very disappointed and decided to give a very low rating. Yes, I can understand that, BUT, if you're not comparing this movie with its former, AVP Requiem actually is a very good B movie. This movie is so exciting, the effects are good, the actings are okay, the quality is not crappy, so enjoyable to watch, so deserve more than just 4,7 stars. If you haven't watch it yet, I say give it a chance first, maybe you'll turn out to love it!
