Amazon.co.uk Review

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, Amazon.com


Synopsis

Alien vs Predator relegated its intergalactic grudge match to Antarctica, keeping most of humankind gleefully ignorant. This time around, though, the destruction takes place in suburban America and facehuggers, alien hybrids, and the dreadlocked Predator wreak havoc. Directors Colin and Greg Strause (billed as 'The Brothers Strause') use their visual effects backgrounds to create a steady stream of monsters, gore, and goo. Picking up where AvP ended, Requiem sees a Predator on a homebound spacecraft when a baby alien/Predator hybrid bursts from his chest, causing the ship to crash in the Colorado woods. Several facehugger specimens escape, planting eggs down the throats of a hunter and his son. Soon, baby aliens emerge from their bodies and head for town, where ex-con Dallas (Steven Pasquale), Iraq War vet Kelly (Reiko Aylesworth), pizza delivery boy Ricky (Johnny Lewis), high school heartthrob Jesse (Kristen Hager), and sheriff Morales (John Ortiz) have their own separate encounters with the creatures.

The dead Predator's home planet receives a transmission of the alien outbreak, and a fellow denizen of his world is dispatched to clean up the multiplying aliens, eventually causing enough death and destruction for government intervention.

Fans of the comic books and videogames will appreciate the Strauses' adherence to the lore of the series, but others will probably just find thrills in the copious special effects, which are frequent and of a high standard.

4.0 out of 5 stars Anyone got any bug spray?, 20 Jul 2008
By D. Jackson "DJ" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

Come on, people, what were you expecting? It is the sequel to Alien vs Predator! In my opinion, anyone who watches this expecting it to match the greatness of the originals is totally silly.

Requiem carries right on from where the first left off, so not long after you've got comfy on the sofa, both species are back on Earth rampaging around like Britney Spears on super-steroids.

This is probably the most unintentionally hilarious film I've ever seen. You simply can't take it seriously. I was really surprised to see the amount of one star reviews- why can't people ever look on the bright side?

Which brings me onto my next point: Many have complained about the film being too dark... now come on guys, it's simple, just put your bucket of popcorn down a second, pick up the remote control and turn up the brightness. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out now does it? You can do it on every television.

Also, you have to admire the Brothers Straus (directors) for being as brave as to even come up with the idea of this film- let alone put it into production. They took the risk... but unfortunately, it seems they've failed. Still, I'll be interested in what they try next.

Ultimately, Alien vs Predator: Requiem is trash. Everything about it is trash- and it was always going to be. It was never going to win awards, it was never going to match the greatness of either of the originals, but at the end of the day, it's good, gooey fun.

I know I'm on a bit of a weak stand here and I'll probably be bombarded with 'unhelpful' votes. Sorry, one star reviewers for disagreeing, but I think you've all taken this film way too seriously! After all, it was only meant to entertain, and in my opinion: that's exactly what it does.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish, 31 May 2008
By Nicodemus (Cheltenham) - See all my reviews
I won't repeat all the comments about the poor lighting etc (which are all true).
I will just add a couple of extra points to hopefully convince anyone reading this NOT TO WASTE YOUR TIME watching this. ESPECIALLY if you are a fan of the previous movies. Ok, some were not as good as others - but this one is TRULY RUBBISH.
One of the key sources of tension in all the other movies is the sense of claustrophobia. (Especially the original Alien). A handful of characters trapped in a confined sitution with the unseen monster(s) picking them off. By the way, unlike some reviewers I rather enjoyed AvP, for various reasons - the pyramid, some characters you could empathise with, learning more background info about the history of the creatures. The relationship between the feisty human woman & the predator.
I expected the latest movie to build upon all that. But....
This film has the aliens reproducing faster than rabbits in a Colorado town (or is it a city - seems to grow & shrink!!!). The cast of human victims is far too large, and we never get to know or like any of them. Dialogue & plot hopelessly unbelievable. When the national guard appear in armoured vehicles it turns into a second-rate war movie.
Only one (one??) predator trying to contain the creatures.
And the ending with such an obvious setup for the next in the series.
The whole thing is an insult to the intelligence (as well as the eyesight).
I wish I had seen the reviews on Amazon but I rented it from my local store. You HAVE read the reviews, so do yourself a big favour - watch something else!!! You have been warned!

1.0 out of 5 stars So It's Come To This..., 3 Jun 2008
The once mighty Alien franchise and the fairly over-rated Predator franchise continue to be undermined by yet another versus installment that trades substance for style.

Let's face it, the only interest here is money. Hollywood doesn't really care if a movie is any good, just that it's hyped up enough so people will pay money to see it. If they can get you that far, nothing else matters.

The biggest problem I have with the story is it's present day setting. When we first see the alien species in Alien, it's in an environment designed by HR Giger, a very surreal and awe-inspiring setting. In this movie, we have the alien species running around high schools and diners.

Perhaps even more insultingly, we have a teen romance, a rather bad taste moment where the aliens visit a maternity ward, and finally an Ellen Ripley wannabe.

I really hope this versus franchise ends here, but I doubt it. If they really want to continue, I'd like to see a new Alien film written/directed by either Ridley Scott or James Cameron (or both).
