I'm not sure if if I'm going to be including a spoiler or not but I wanted to add my 2 cents worth as best as I can. I too am a huge fan of both the Aliens and Predator movies and this will definitely be added to my collection when it comes out on DVD! I'm probably being a little biased by giving it a 10 but it blew AVP 1 right out of the water. And Yes I too am a huge fan of the first AVP film. OK sure there are moments in the film that seemed unrealistic. However, personally I was still scared out of my wits while watching it.

Now after getting home and going to work from watching AVP2-Requiem I'm still trying to let everything settle in. I was very satisfied with all the acting, scoring, visual effects and yes even the script was very gripping. Sure there were a few scenes that were difficult to see but the fact that AVP1 made enough money to spawn a sequel even on the limited budget. I'm not sure how much money Avp2 is going to make but the first 3 showings at my local theater were sold out.

The music was very nice paying homage to the Alien and Predator movies using themes and blends of atmosphere from them. I couldn't believe that the movie was actually only short of an hour and a half (1:26) it seemed a lot longer. The fact that the movie was on limited budget I believe the Brothers Strause delivered a great Christmas present for me. I was not let down from the red ban trailer seeing the gore, action and acting. I knew what I was getting into when I went to the theater after seeing the trailer and I'm looking forward to seeing it again before it leaves. I also believe it continued from the first movie very well.

Again overall a 10 and without giving too much away it's better than the first one. It reminded me a lot what we couldn't see on LV-426 in the 2nd Alien film when the colony was taken over by the Aliens while Newt was the only survivor as Ripley and gang showed up.

I agree..I thought this was Dr. Quinn in the late 80's :) This show did not get enough credit and I wish I knew someone that had these episodes taped on video tape so I could have a copy of these episodes. If anyone out there has a copy of these episodes please let me know. Again seeing Wilford Brimley and Deidre Hall before she got the role on Day's of Our lives was another great reason to watch the show. This was another show in the 80's that helped me grow up. Can anyone tell what the real reason for why the show got cancelled. BTW, Out of this World, Second Chance, Starman and War of the Worlds the series were among other great series that never got off the ground :(
