Aliens vs Predator: Requiem (2007)

While I simply did not like the first "Alien vs. Predator", "Alien vs. Predator: Requiem (AVPR)" is such a piss poor sequel with no good characters, a stupid ending, the Alien and Predator once again feel wasted and barely fight each other, and was very boring. It's just as bad as Alien Resurrection.

Seriously, what did I watch? The movie is so dark, I could see anything for 90% of the time.

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.

Movie Review: "AVPR: Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem" (2007) - It was a righteous idea to come up with an R-rated conception for the fairly mashed-up hit "Alien vs. Predator" from 2004 directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. But what the directing duo Brothers Strause, made out of script by 34-year-old screenwriter Shane Salerno, who put the extraterrestrial beasts into an unidentifiable U.S. American small town under constant nightfall without any daylight scene given towards complete annihilation, has become close to an insult for two legendary science-fiction antagonists.The Brothers Strause, at home in the special effects department, have at no time the movie under control, too random has become each and every action / killing scene under a never-seen concrete story-boarded shot order, leading from the woods, to a diner, onto main street to be finally on a rooftop somewhere in the village, where the "Predator", just called "The Lost" be its own race, confronts another ordinary "Alien" for a death match that at no-time reaches the brawling heights of its predecessor from 2004, where at least everything has been said anyways onto the theme concerning "Alien vs. Predator" in an decisive choreographed underground corridor confrontation.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
