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.

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.
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.
this movie made me watch Paul W.S. Anderson's AvP1 and enjoy it! I am not even going to dream of comparing Requiem to any of the Alien or Predator series' movies,this is a HORRIBLE TEENAGE B-HORROR FOOTAGE SET IN AN American SMALL TOWN NO ONE CARES ABOUT.
AvP1 at least had heaps of handcrafted art carved into the movie sets,it had bags of eye-candy not previously seen in any of the original movies - but was ruined by unconvincing characters/acting.
Requiem takes bad acting to the lowest imaginable level,and it also lacks in every other department just as much...it's a sacrilege to include alien and predator suits in this kind of rubbish.

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)
What will it take to convince the idiots running the major Hollywood studios when to push the stop button? It's a strange time we're living in where even critically panned films are being warranted sequels now as the aim definitely seems to be making more franchises than stand- alone films & grab as much cash as possible by building on the (financial) success of the original.
Continuing the crossover of Alien & Predator series, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (also known as AVP:R) begins right where the first film of this newly established franchise signed off. Set in Gunnison Country where a Predator spaceship carrying a hybrid alien crashes, the film continues the war between the two iconic-but-now-turned-idiotic species with stupid humans caught in between.
Terribly directed by Brothers Strause, the movie marks a new low for any cinema that has featured either creatures so far and is an absolute trash from start to finish. Horribly written, badly photographed, tediously edited & full of dull characters (this time including the two creatures as well), there isn't one thing worth liking in this garbage throughout its runtime.
On an overall scale, continuing the recent tradition of making a mockery of all cinema classics by sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots or spin-offs, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is one of the most boring orgy of mindless violence whose only improvement over its already pathetic predecessor comes in its upgrade from PG-13 to R-Rated. Needs to be buried alive with whoever green- lighted it.

Storyline

- 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.
- Goofs(at around 32 mins) If Wolf's purpose for coming to earth was to "clean" all evidence of the incident why did he skin Ray's body and leave it hanging for anyone to find instead of melting it down with acid like he did with all other bodies?
- 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.
