The acting wasn't good, I'll admit that, but who are we kidding? No one goes to see Alien vs Predator for the outstanding acting. We go for the action, the special effects, and to see two of our favorite ETs fight to the death, and in that AVPr delivers.

I particularly liked how this movie showed, albeit briefly, the predators' home world as well as more of their technology and weapons. Although I'm not a big fan of the aliens, this movie really does a good job of demonstrating just how resilient and dangerous a species they are.

If you go into this movie with the right expectations you're bound to enjoy it. I highly recommend getting out to the theaters to watch AVPr on the big screen while you have the chance.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. a bunch of actors that die and a predator, bunch of aliens and predaliens.

first i have to say i want expecting anything Oscar worth just some fun and lots of gore and kills and thats what i got. this movie is about a war between the Aliens and predators but in this film you have the predators dead from the crash from earth so a predator comes to earth to kill the aliens while town is trying to figure out what is going on, it starts off from the last scene of the last movie. the story is not the strong suit of the movie it could have been better.

the acting in this movie is just crap theses actors are no name actors and a lot of them die, the deaths of the actors are just awesome who are killed by the aliens and the predator. just some great and bloody deaths. the Gore, the deaths, the kills are the best thing about the movie. they are so great to watch.

i did think the first one was alright but it still sucked but this was way better it had the deaths including a little kid, it had the gore and more deaths in this from beginning to the end. the movie looked good and had more of an area then snow and also feeled like an alien movie and the directing for the first time for these guys was good i hope they go on to direct more.

overall its a good movie to watch when you are in the mood to watch a movie to have fun, who doesn't want see a little kid die in a movie but aliens and predators are so cool, another thing i didn't like beside the acting was the ending i just didn't get also i would have liked to see more from the predator planet and a more of a backstory. besides the acting this is just a fun film to watch and i really did like it not expecting to like it if you are a fan of gore, aliens, predators and people dying.… Expand

I saw it was set in Colorado, and I had my doubts. I saw it featured a cast I had never heard of and I had further doubts. I read a few of the story ideas, and I almost passed on this one.

I'm glad I didn't.

First off, this was rated "R" rather than the watered-down whiny version of AvP which was served to us like a steaming pile of feces, in the theaters a couple of years ago.

This installment of the combo-franchise is true to both the Alien AND the Predator franchises, as well as the AvP line, itself. I was quite impressed with the beauty of the continuity, the auspicious design of the Predalien, and the incredible attention paid to detail. Look for a return of the weapon removed from the sarcophagus in AvP, some of the toys and gadgets aboard the Predator ship you may remember from Predator 2, and the deep forest setting in the beginning is quite reminiscent of the setting of Predator.

The acting was the only area, which needed some help, in my opinion. The dialog delivery was poor, although the dialog itself was quite well written. However, the slick production design, the great story, and excellent execution do serve as qualified distraction from the aforementioned fault, thereby rendering this film worthy, in the extreme.

All in all? This is a most excellent Friday/Saturday night movie! But NOT one for the kiddies. This is a fitting and deserved installment in the AvP franchise; one which tops the original by leaps and bounds. This actually rates up there with A2 and P1! It rates an 10/10 from...

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just saw this movie today, and I have to say... it was pretty damn cool! I had read a few comments by people saying this movie was garbage and the first one was way better. I am saying that this was a pretty cool movie involving action, suspense and quite a bit of gore.

I saw the first one, and it was alright, seeing two famous alien creatures going at it. But after seeing AVP R, it just blows the first one outta the water. It has a single predator(who is pretty much a badass, except towards the very end, where he gets tossed around by the PredAlien) going into "clean up" a situation about a hybrid Predator/ Alien, that is killing anything in it's path. It can "create" more Aliens, making it a lot more of a challenge, hence" Aliens Vs. Predator". Yes there is a plot; "Don't get killed by the monsters". There's a story for the humans, involving a teenager and his crush on some girl, his ex-con brother, and a sheriff, discovering the first deaths, by the face huggers.

In the end, you should definitely see this movie. Don't believe the haters, they are just whiny babies. The only negative thing that really, really bugged me, was that it was way too dark. You can discern what is happening for the most part, but it is as if the Brothers Struase were using candles for lighting. Other than that this movie was an awesome action movie, leaving room for a prequel at the very end.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can absolutely not believe all the complaining that is being done about this film. Over and over again I read how terrible the acting was. Do people honestly think Gene Hackman and Glenn Close were going to sign on for AVP-R? It's a monster movie, folks! The budget is going to the F/X and the alien suits. Let's focus on what fans want to see in a flick like this.

Does it have action? In spades. Check.

Are the aliens (and preds) badass? Check.

Do humans get toasted inventively along the way? Double check.

Is there a satisfying ending? Well, maybe not, but we're not talking Shawshank Redemption here.

AVP-R succeeds where its predecessor did not by having action galore set largely in a dark, claustrophobic setting. Ever wonder what it would be like having aliens invade your town? Here you go. Anderson's AVP had about 3 action scenes in it (and they were better than given credit for) but it was basically a snoozefest.

In this film the Wolf Predator spends most of the film tracking down and destroying the xenomorphs before they can take over the happy state of Colorado. He is a complete BAMF and you root for him, whether he's waxing aliens, deputees, or using hapless humans as bait to nab more aliens. In an odd way he reminded me of Batman from the DarkKnight Detective Comics: a forbidding, shadowy figure who hunts down killers in the night. The Hybrid proves a worthy nemesis, clashing with the Wolf several times (albeit briefly) before they lock horns for good in the end. The fight could've been longer, but it was still pretty good. Maybe it'll be extended in the DVDversion.

The other big complaint I've read is how dark the film is, with the action difficult at times to follow. Fair point, but 2 suggestions. One, sit to the back of the theater-thing swill look clearer. 2, as another poster mentioned, it will likely be lightened up in the DVD release, which I fully intend to purchase.

Way too much heat given to this film, which should be accepted for what it is: a violent, satisfying creature flick that smartly tips its hat to the previous films in the series. No, it's not as good as Alien, Aliens, or the original Predator, but I think it's better than the other 4 movies in the series. Just relax, have fun, and turn off your brain for 90 minutes. Enjoy the ride. Way too many posters here trying to be Ebert and Roeper and moaning about the acting/script/lighting. Accept AVP-R for what it is, and you'll enjoy it more.… Expand

Movie goers find themselves rooting for the Predator to save the day, then go home triumphantly, but I won't ruin the end for those who may not know it already.

Twentieth Century Fox releases AVP-R on Christmas because it is their Christmas present to us for the abomination that was its predecessor. The only thing that they could have done more was to let us watch it for free on Christmas morning inTwentieth Century Fox releases AVP-R on Christmas because it is their Christmas present to us for the abomination that was its predecessor. The only thing that they could have done more was to let us watch it for free on Christmas morning in our jammies.

Gone are the "Hunter's Moons." Gone are inane alliances with humans and greenhorn predators who don't even know what they are doing. Gone is the feeling that every character in the film is a difference race because they were trying way too hard to be politically correct.

The strengths of this film stem from its directors' background in special effects. These people are geeks, making a movie for geeks. With their background comes the nostalgia that most of the film is shot in camera, meaning a minimum of digital effects and a maximum of make-up, puppet, and prosthetic wizardry. The alien sound effects, as many know, came from remastered original follies, attempting greater authenticity. It was a fast paced ride that never came up for air. Once the action began, it did not stop. Some would say this was a directorial weakness, not building up enough suspense. I contend that even the same audience that gladly sat through entire half hours of nothing happening in the 80's shuffle their feet now. The truth is there is nothing to build suspense for. We know the creatures. We know the history. We know the word "versus" is in the title, now give us our monster movie and wrap it in a plausible enough scenario that we care. The Strause Brothers achieved this, populating their town with every-folk, giving you a solid feeling of what would happen should Aliens and Predators drop down on Main Street USA.

The film does have its weaknesses, notwithstanding. While I surmise none of the action and gore ended up on the cutting room floor, I feel many scenes adding depth to the human cast were left by the wayside. The interactions between some characters feels awkward and forced, that perhaps there is a deeper connection being told somewhere on another screen, and all we're allowed to see is the end product. My only true gripe with the film is that, and I don't think this constitutes any sort of a spoiler as this follows the precedent of the first, but as in the first AVP the aliens grow rapidly. I almost think they mature in a span of fifteen minutes, as was the case prior. While this is not consistent with the Alien series on a whole, it is consistent with AVP and therefore permissible. While I will say nothing of the ending, I will warn that it contains a reference to the established film continuity that is very vague, and if you are an average movie goer unfamiliar with the other movies, you will likely walk away scratching your head. But that's okay. That's why we have Google.

End of the day, you will read many negative reviews from people who would find fault with a movie that materialized via magic onto the screen directly from their own imagination. This film stands head and shoulders above AVP, and the Strause Brothers should be commended for making such a valiant attempt at transitioning from creating creature effects to telling a story, and telling it with the fans in mind as much as possible. This film is our present from Fox. Don't let anyone spoil the surprise. Open it for yourself.… Expand

There's awesome action... the new Alien Hybrid is cool and the "top" Predator is a kick asre commando... only thing missing are some Terminators!! Maybe in the third part... Arnald can make a cameo.

My favourite part about this movie was the "zombie" like feel as the alien reproduced like rats and swarmed the town. All the why the Predator kept trying to cover up the Alien invasion and the a few town folk were thinking they stood a chance! There is much humour in this movie... overall it's a treat to escape the holiday season doldrums!!… Expand

Second I am a major predator fan and I wanted to see more predators, they couldn't really have expected one predator to clean up all the aliens! And lastly I just think they should have showed the Predator Alien mix a lot more, they really kind of kept it in the shadows. I have to say even though they only put in one Predator he sure did kick a lot of Alien butt. I think they shouldn't even have needed the clean up guy because if they would have followed the first movie there would have been enough Predators to take care of the mix after they got to Earth. I wasn't expecting a lot of things that happened in the movie but I think it's good that you throw in a little unexpected things, it makes the movie a lot better.… Expand

The basic premise was excellent, a small town that is accidentally invaded by a plague of lethal acid bleeding aliens from a Predator ship who use humans as host for their reproduction including a new alien/predator hybrid, and the alien Predator who comes to town to clean up the mess his species accidentally created and to hide the evidence of extraterrestrial activity from the humans.

Watching the growing infestation of the aliens was fascinating. And watching the determination of the alien Predator to wipe them out was equally fascinating.

Sure the humans in this movie were merely carnage for the alien vs. predator war, but I also found that interesting. Humans don't always have to be the center of the universe in order for a movie to be entertaining.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There were a few questions I had while watching the movie but overall I understood what was happening and I really enjoyed it! Personal Note: In an era of chick flicks and garbage science fiction films or just garbage films for that matter it's no wonder so many people are pirating movies. That being said, I always pay money at the theater to support films of this nature so the movie companies will continue to make more. SPOILERS: This AvP version had over the top violence, NO ONE was spared in the killing. The Strause Brothers wanted to make a serious, gritty horror film and take the movie back back to its roots, without losing sight of the human struggle. They definitely accomplished that in my opinion. There was a really cool shot of the Pred home world; the "T" clan leader was bad ass with a lot of cool new weapons and tech. I thought the first AvP wasn't too bad and I have been a fan of the Darkhorse books for years; hats off to Fox for allowing it to happen! In the future, I hope they expand more on the Pred/Alien history with lots of new weapons and technology. Can't wait for the next AvP!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What I can't figure out is why an Alien uniting with a German Shepherd becomes a canine looking Alien and an Alien crossed with a Predator becomes a predator looking alien or Predalien, but an alien joined with a hobo doesn't become a Hobo alien or Hobalien. It would have been cool if those aliens had been the most lethargic and least ambitious, and if one or two of the Hobaliens had just hung around the center of town bumming spare change from the regular aliens, drinking cheap wine and offering to clean the windshields of the humans fleeing the city. Sure there is carnage but geez a little humour would have gone a long way. Where is Bill Paxton when you need him. Nice touch naming the main good guy and hero Dallas.… Expand

OK, well I decided to see this again as I hadn't had a chance being back in the UK until it was released on DVD last Monday.

It was actually better than I remembered, though still not great. Quibble #1 - It was supposed to be explained inOK, well I decided to see this again as I hadn't had a chance being back in the UK until it was released on DVD last Monday.

It was actually better than I remembered, though still not great.

Quibble #1 - It was supposed to be explained in AvP why the aliens gestated and grew so quickly, I had heard this scene found it's way back into the unrated edition but I've never seen it. But either way, that explains the same growth within the strain on Earth in AvPR, but I just feel the Predalien grew far too quickly for the ship to pull out of Earth's atmosphere only to crash back on to the planet again, so unless it was orbiting Earth (which I doubt) it just seems to be a bit too rushed.

Quibble #2 - Length of the movie, god damnit there's nothing wrong with having it longer...Fox and/or the movie theatres need to realise there's more to entertainment for the fans than how many times in a day they can see it.

Quibble #3 - Aliens/Predator was never rated below 18, and these films shouldn't be either. Yes, it was entertaining for the most part and better than the first (and gorier) but still didn't earn an 18 rating.

Quibble #4 - Just a tad too dark for my liking, Alien movies have to be dark in places but not by that much.

Other than that, the usual problems from the series arose, weakish story and so forth. Though I thought the Predalien's little "talent" in using pregnant hosts was pretty neat.

My other complaints are about other peoples complaints though.

"Oh my god, they killed kids and pregnant women" - ...Well DUH, the aliens do NOT take in to concideration what their pray is, they just use them as hosts or food...simple as that.

"The music was too loud and too recycled" - They made this film for the fans, or tried to apparently, music was also going to play a similar role. I thought it was great the Predator got his P1 theme back, and generally the music is similar to AvP, Aliens and Predator (the first) in many respects.

"The aliens grew too quickly" - Do your research and you'll find out why this was so in this particular strain.

"Why only one Predator?" - Who knows, but this particular Predator obviously felt it was his job to finish what his people couldn't.

Overall, it was decent enough, not as good as I'd hoped but better than I expected and better than the first. Look forward to at least season where the extra 7 minutes fit in. Why do I rate it at 8? Because on a basic string of "Predators kicking the living **** out of Aliens" is there, so on a basis of not caring about the story as much...it's fantastic.

However, if there is a third they need to not miss the chance to make it an awesome 18 adult movie to really make the separate franchises crap themselves, otherwise...just get Alien 5 and Predator 3 in the works and finish those movies.… Expand

To begin with, yes, the acting is only okay for this sort of movie, some of the dialog is cheesy and the plot is extremely simple, but my god was this movieOkay then, now I have seen the movie that almost everyone loves to bash. To begin with, yes, the acting is only okay for this sort of movie, some of the dialog is cheesy and the plot is extremely simple, but my god was this movie entertaining. The movie is really intense from the first frame and just doesn't let go until its finished. It was actually thrilling in many scenes (much to my surprise) even though I couldn't care less about all the one-dimensional characters coming and going. The battle scenes were somewhat confusingly edited, but still cool none the less. The movie has this raw editing and photography that really gives it an edge compared to AvP 1. What I liked the most was that the movie does not compromise anything. The aliens kill everybody, and I literally mean everybody, breaking every Hollywood rule about what is proper to show on screen. I didn't feel like watching a slasher movie, but felt that the killings were logical and random, like they should be when aliens run amok in a small town. One of the killings is actually surprising and kind of fun. AvP: Requiem is a bad movie if you look at it in a wider perspective, but as a fan-, nerd- and genre movie it will rock your socks off with its raw and brutal look on a few chaotic hours when a Small town is infested with aliens. It has to be chaotic, and I was relieved that the screenwriter didn't come up with some stupid storyline where the characters has to find some kid or anything like that. The movie is all about surviving a threat no one knows anything about until its too late. It is also really nice to see that they work harder to obey the rules made up in the two separate movie franchises. They do bend them as in AvP 1, but not to much. Great fun. Go see it.… Expand

Sure, the characters weren't exactly memorable, but they were mainly there to get killed off anyways. And besides, I didn't pay $8.00 to see an Oscar-worthy drama, I wanted to see aliens and a predator fighting (hence the name AVP), which is what we got. The plot was a bit rushed as with the story, and the scenes were pretty dark, too.

These films will never get the chance to be made how they should be because FOX is to scared to pay up a large amount of cash on a 18 cert film that runs along time and costs them loads, they are just not willing to take the risk so what we get is a toned down version that never has the chance to build up and set a story because its run time will never be fit it in, FOX want people in and out popcorn films, a UK 15 cert means more bums on seats and yes I know even if they have a 18 cert it does not mean they be better but it does mean such things as over fast editing and holding back would be at a min, the next thing needed is cash as putting everything in the dark to help cover cheaper suits or cgi is not great, and length is needed to build up the story and show you more, the film is what it is, a hack and slash with Aliens and Predators, it does what it set out to do and with the money given they have made a good action film, the only real thing that holds this film back is to dark and editing is to fast, had they been able to spend more on the fights where they could show more rather than a flash and a punch and a rip and a quick flash then that would of helped, also showing more from the Predators home world and more from its point of view, yeah another risk FOX will never take, and so to end take into mind the money they had, the pressure from FOX as these guys are no big names in Hollywood so what FOX says goes, and the age cert and how long the film must run and what you have is as good as you will get and this will not change until the above points are changed, for me go see this film as its just good comic book scfi that is not scared to kill people most films would not which I for one loved :-)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think this movie was very entertaining throughout, lots of action and Aliens all over the place and causing havoc in some small town.

I fail to understand why so many people think this film is so bad, first of all, movies are meant to be entertaining and this movie will entertain you from the start.

I have read a lot of bad reviews on here and while might be valid some are just plain stupid, for example: Someone said that "when Predators are defeated they have to activate the bomb they carry to clean up the area, NOT to send a distress call".... - Well... the Predator DID activate the bomb but seems you missed the bit when the Alien rips that whole limb out breaking the wrist controller in the process!

Another moan I read: When the Predator activates the wrist bomb to destroy the ship it should have created a bigger explosion... -- Well... Mr... when did you learn how to read Predatorian (Predator's language). You will agree that they have far superior technology compared to ours, right? are you going to tell me that they cant adjust the bomb to not be as powerful?

Anyway, my point is, EVERY film ever made could be criticized to make it look like a crap film, this film is entertaining and that is what films are meant to do, had this been Predator 1 you would all be moaning on how stupid the concept of an alien with vast superior technology not being able to adjust his visor to see a mud-covered Arnie is.

You would also think Star Wars was a piece of doo doo, I mean, if we analyze that film like you are analyzing AvP2 it would sound really bad... for example, how does Capt Solo, Luke, Chewie and Obi-Wan Kenobi manage to get in and undetected inside the biggest base in the known galaxy and then manage to release a prisoner and escape?

Is ridiculous, what a crap film! they should have the technology to track them down all over the base and tell them of life-signs inside the ship without having to manual scan it!

See what I mean?, 2 classic film and they already sound crappy, maybe is because you all watched those films when you were younger and were easily impressed, I mean, cartoons were awesome when I was younger!

btw, I love Star Wars and Predator :)… Expand

The predator (Ian Whyte) in this film was awesome. He was portrayed as a hard as nails Predator much like in the first two Predator movies. The way he dispatched Aliens 2 or 3 at a time was exactly the Predator I wanted to see.

The Predalien was interesting, I still prefer the Predator and found the Predalien to be just an advanced Alien. But looked cool as hell.

The acting wasn't that bad in the film, some of the script wasn't that great but who cares, I don't go see a film like this to watch good performances I wanted Gore and action and i got it. Spekaing of the gore , I realised that some of the gore shots were missing so i can happily smile knowing there will be an unrated version on DVD. :D I think this one was more for the Predator fans which suits my down to the ground.

I hope to god they make a third one but maybe this time set it in the future and give it more of a story. Guess it'd have to be predator vs Queen Predalien in the next one, lol.… Expand

Go see Mr Darcy and all the other pretentious, dialogue heavy performances that middleLook people, if you're expecting epic plot lines and Oscar winning performances matched by dialogue, don't go see a film titled Aliens versus Predator. Go see Mr Darcy and all the other pretentious, dialogue heavy performances that middle England has to offer and stop complaining. All these people who go watch this film and complain about these things, obviously didn't read the title (end rant). Anyway for those interested in seeing these two characters slugging it out on screen, will pleased to see that this film makes up for the first movie. Check list should read- Aliens versus Predator: Tick. (distinct lack of this in the first film) Predators weapons arsenal explored: Tick. Taking the best bits from Predator and Aliens films: Tick. Dumb, shallow, expendable, "human" characters that nobody really cares about: Tick. Lots of decent CGI, effects and rubber suits: Tick. Easy to follow plot, only serving to help Alien meet Predator for fist fights: Tick. Hollywood style ending that rounds the ultra thin plot line up: Tick. Lots of blood, violence, gore and guts: Tick.

There you go folks. It has all the action of Aliens' chaotic shooting and fighting, mixed with the Predators exceptional style of hunting. And while its not as claustrophobic as Aliens or Homo erotic as Predator it still delivers what we all expect. It even pays homage to the originals by borrowing some dialogue, which fans of these films will spot. Don't expect big things from this, but the writers have listened to the fans gripes from the first movie. They actually put Aliens against Predators and gave me what I was expecting from the first film. Leave your brain at the door and enjoy the viewing.… Expand

Let's get one thing answered first: yes, I am a huge fan of the Aliens and Predator movies and spin off books including the original Aliens vs Predator books. I have mixed fillings about all of the previous films in the series: the firstLet's get one thing answered first: yes, I am a huge fan of the Aliens and Predator movies and spin off books including the original Aliens vs Predator books. I have mixed fillings about all of the previous films in the series: the first Predator and Alien films are still masterpieces of the genre; Aliens is still one of my favourite films; Alien 3 is disappointing; as is Predator 2; Resurrection is laughable; and most importantly Alien vs Predator (the first outing for these two monster-ka-ching-fanchises) was dire and a wasted opportunity considering the material Paul W.S. Anderson had at his disposal with the books and comics. It's important that I relay my feelings albeit briefly about these films because I need it understood that my eye was far more critical and biased than the casual viewer whilst watching this latest outing.

The film starts just as the first AVP film left off: an impregnated Predator back aboard his ship with the rest of his pack just as a new hybrid chest-burster rips its way free of his body. Thus begins an introduction that culminates in the Alien returning to earth and the beginnings of an infestation in a small town in Colorado. From then on what ensues is a no-holds-barred survival horror that never quite leaves you breathless but nevertheless keeps the heart racing. The only hope in stopping this infestation is a lone Predator who seems hell bent on tracking down the new hybrid and claiming its skull (imagine the kudos back home!).

This isn't top-draw film-making and it isn't Oscar-worthy acting but it is damn good fun. Each character is established nicely and even in the wake of an impending disaster you do begin to bond with some of the main characters, not deeply, but enough to care when they finally come face to face with some brilliantly timed deaths, and the death comes thick and fast. There is also some unprecedented screen killing, even bordering on controversial, but each death just exemplifies the determination and remorselessness of the Alien and indeed their relentless invasion that proves that Ripley was right: if just one of these things reaches a populous, you can kiss everything goodbye.

Having said all of that, this film is far from perfect. Kelly O'Brien played by Reiko Aylesworth and who is obviously introduced as the next Ripley just isn't convincing as an action-gal or indeed a potential saviour of Earth. Some of the technology used by the Predator is too far fetched (yes, even for a sci-fi film of this ilk) and parts of the dialogue is a little sketchy.

However, I think I can safely say that the Strause Brothers are like me huge fans of Cameron's 1986 Aliens. The intertextual references to Aliens (and Predator) are vast and for me were there to be lapped up (note how the title is now 'Aliens vs' and not 'Alien vs'). This film is a homage to the original films and if the powers that be decide to finance another project I'd be more than happy to hear that the Strause Brothers were again at the helm.… Expand

Obviously you can disregard the first kind. As for the second kind: I love the first films too, especially Aliens. It is one of the best films ever made. But you can't seriously expect the AvP franchise to continue what even the official sequels could not.

Instead, expect a mindless, straightforward action flick. There are hundreds of those, but only this one features two of the most intriguing creatures ever imagined.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS This was actually way much better than the changing labyrinth of avp1. I liked some references to original movies, like the thing predator used to scan earth from predator home world(?) was the same thing in alien-movie where the crew found this humanoid body with hole in it's chest from the same "scanner". AVPR suggests that to be predator body. Also I liked that predator stripped it's gear in final battle with predalien, like in first predator movie in the final fight with the governor. Biggest minuses comes from slight over darkness of general picture in order to make effects look more real. In few scenes alien looked like bunch of hoes and gutter. Also the teen drama imported from conventional horror splatter movies kinda spoiled the ALIEN or PREDATOR feeling of the movie. And it should have had action like in starship troopers and the waiting thrill of alien series. Action was too forward or too messy. Like the national guard scene was just sloppy camera-work with screams and gutter. There could have been waves of aliens protruding from alleys and roofs with GI:s pounding em' with 50 cal MG:s. I have always hoped that alien 5 could bring aliens to future earth running in the streets of some big city, while armed forces tries to block streets and shoot out all alien lifeforms. In the end though.. this was improvement to avp series. I actually hope there will be more of this.. lets just give some other directors chance because change isn't always bad thing. And i like to see different visions of alien/predator saga.… Expand

Same can be said for AVP-R. For me at least it was my money's worth because as a hard core Predator fan I want to see " PREDATOR " in action and thats all .. I for one don't care about the story line or the minor flaws as long as I get to see some good clear fights which AVP-R delivered. There was a lot of coverage on both Alien and Predator. The weapons were very good as in many of them were the same, whip was a nice touch.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OK, what are people who are into these kinds of movies looking for ? We know its not gonna be Shakespeare, we know its not a David Lean film. To say its "crap", and I quote, is a pretty easy way out, not constructive at all. The Predator was impressive, the shots in the Predator ship and planet were good. I liked the idea that the Predator had the arrogance to think he was good enough to take the Alien on himself without back up very good, like the true warrior race they are. I also liked the fact that when they got into the maternity wards, the Directors never chickened out and let the mums to be (and the babies) live. I was actually rooting for the Predator to win here. Don't let a few bad reviews put you off here, go see it............nice ending as well, leaving the door slightly ajar for another.… Expand

The most promising point was the indications of a third avp movie. I wish they wouldn't do such mistakes as much as this one. There are too many fans of these creatures; so it mustn't be a disappointment.

So you'll ask me why I gave 7 stars for this movie; let me tell you why. I love to see those aliens and predators fight. Since there is a lot of alien vs predator fight, I'll be there to watch.

It's time to wait for the third movie. I'll keep my fingers crossed for it.… Expand

The joke that AVP turned out to be was a disgrace to the franchise. The Predator character was terribly short-changed, and the PG-13 rating hurt the movie beyond repair. With AVP-R we get a return to form of sorts, the Predator character is revived and is the highlight of the movie. This movie is just RAW; straight to the point, no sugar coating; you have the Aliens, you have the Predator, and they go at it. The body count is high, and the encounter between the two 'monsters' is satisfying.

Sure there are many plot holes in this movie, and the human actors aren't very good; but I didn't come into this to see them....I came to see the Aliens and the Predator battle, and I got what I wanted. The Predator was true to form with some new tricks up its sleeve, and it was enjoyable.

Everything just sort of happens here, and then the credits roll. Some parts were silly; for instance it was asinine to see a Predator use his shoulder cannon in their own ship the way it did....they come off smarter than that. The human actors were your basic run-of-the-mill characters, just about what I expected. It was painfully obvious that they were only there as game for when the 'monsters' arrived. A child was even subject to the fate of the aliens, which I thought was a cool change of pace. I wanted to see more of the 'Pred-Alien' and its abilities, but he was still pretty cool; the hospital scene was intense. AVP-R also pays homage to the past films in a few of the scenes; from quotes to the actions of the creatures; that brought a smile to my face, as I'm a big fan of Predator. At the end of the day, the Predator is king, to say it simply....he was the sh*t!!

As long as you go into AVP-R knowing what you're going to get, and if you're a fan of the Predator franchise especially; I think you'll enjoy this. I did.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright, finally a AvP movie we can be proud of. It's full of action, gore since it is R -rated and good battles between aliens and the Predator. The Strauss brothers did a great job at it. There is no stupid plot to explain the presence of the Predators on Earth or why they are even there. It begins where the first movie left of and is a fun ride. What's interesting about this movie is, that it's more of a Predator movie than a Alien and Predator movie. No teenage predators this time, a full grown, experienced hunter hunting down the xenomorphs and the Predalien. What's also different this time is, that there is no queen. The Predalien seem to impregnate a host with a xenomorph through its mouth, making eggs and facehuggers redundant. The humans, well, who cares anyway. 24's Michelle Dessler is in the movie and does a great job at it. She is the mom who wants to protect her child, after her husband was killed by a xenomorph. Her character is somewhat similar to that of Ripley's in Aliens where she wants to protect Newt from the xenomorphs. Honestly, who watches these movies to care about the humans. The fact that humans keep winning is annoying at itself. The Predator was about the win, when the bomb was dropped, making it impossible to tell if the Predalien or the Predator won. That on itself was a grave error on the brothers part. If their intention was to let the Predator win, they should have him kill the Predalien and and escape the bomb somehow. I must admit, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, more than the first one, where music and the one battle scene where the highlights of the movie. Not to mention, this time, there is no stupid tag line saying: whoever wins, we lose and ironically we, as humans, win, while the Queen is frozen under water and the Predators sent to Earth were dead. Than again, Paul W.S. Anderson has a gift of destroying good franchises such as Resident evil movies, Alien vs Predator. He's not that bad as Uwe Boll, but he's getting close. If there comes a third Alien vs Predator movie, let's take it back to outer space or on another planet besides Earth like with the Alien saga. Sure the Predalian was a warrior in the games, but in the movie he's something else. All in all, a very entertaining movie worth watching and is much better than the first one.… Expand

Okay, maybe I have a slightly different view of films than the general population, though I have discovered that my feelings of a film generally sit well with the ratings that appear on Metacritic, in most cases that is. Okay, I can sort of understand how people have reacted to some of the gore that appears in this film, and also the rather lame attempt at creating a Predalien, though I don't necessarily think that it was as bad as some people believe (though its ability to generate eggs as if it were a queen was something that sort of came out of the blue).

Look, sure, there are a few scenes in this film that do break the cardinal rules of story telling, such as never killing kids, or suddenly killing off a character with no tension or lead up whatsoever, but that didn't actually undermine my enjoyment of the film. Sure, one could argue that there is either the shock factor, or pushing the boundaries, though I still find the onscreen killing of kids to be going just that little bit too far. As for the sudden death due to friendly fire, well, that goes beyond lazy story telling. Sure, in movies like this, we expect that pretty much a majority of the characters are going to die, but the thing is there are ways to kill of a character in a cinematic way, and the more important the character is, the more cinematic the death should be. Unfortunately, at one point in this film they did drop the ball somewhat.

So, the film is pretty much set straight after the first in this series, and we have a predator that has been infested with an alien. Well, the alien escapes, causes damage to the ship, escapes in an escape pod and returns to Earth where it crashes in the Colorado wilderness. Also, the pod contains a number of face huggers, so you can be assured that this scenario is going to be set up with lots and lots of Aliens running around this small American town. Actually, this is a scenario that had yet to be explored, so I guess this is one of the reasons that I actually quite liked the film. However, before one of the predators was killed, it managed to send off a distress signal, so another predator travels to Earth to basically clean up the mess - thus we have what one could consider a true Alien vs Predator film.

Yeah, now that I think about it, that previous film really did let me down a bit, namely because of the whole idea that the predators created the Aliens to hunt, and us humans were really only fodder to fuel their hunting desires. While the pyramid under the ice was pretty cool, simply turning us into just another game reserve for a bunch of hunters really didn't do it for me to the same extent.

However, this film was much better in that regards, particularly with not only having an Alien infestation reach Earth, but also having a Predator, and a particularly will trained one at that, coming in to attempt to clean it all up. Where as the first movie pretty much had a bulk of the predators being taken out by the aliens fairly quickly, it was much better watching a seasoned hunter deal with them with no problem whatsoever. I guess that is another reason why they had to create the Predalien, even if it is only to give this particular guy a challenge. Still, with the speed at which the Alien's propogate he certainly wasn't in the position to clean the area up completely, which is why they had to end it the way they did.

Still, it is pretty clear that the only way to bring this film to a close was they way that they brought it to a close. Maybe it seemed to be one of those situations that pretty much everything was lost so they pretty much pressed the reset button. However, considering that there were a lot of scenes which were reminiscent of the earlier films, when we consider Aliens, then the ending here was rather appropriate.… Expand

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 5,7 stars.

Here's a question: say we cut out all those little annoying parts in the movie. Every flaw that's ever been commented on, we handle the villains differently, the sub-plots get removed or changed...anything, you name it. What will happen then? Will everybody be pleased? No. People will still find more things to dwell on. And no matter what the outcome is, every movie like this will be treated with mixed reactions.

For fans of the franchises, this is a very enjoyable movie that has lots of cool, mindless fun. For those who don't like monster movies, or desperately need depth or intelligence in their filmic endeavors might want to steer clear. I, however, have loved these creatures since I was a kid and I say this a good addition to the series.… Expand

Avid fans of both films will have a blast watching this - it's everything the first AVP film was not - mainly Aliens and Predators batteling it out in fully gory detail! I still havn't worked out how they managed to turn this concept into such a boring movie the first time around, but dont worry kids this short but sweeet flick more than makes up for it! The movie is fan fest from start to finish and at just over 93 mins keeps the plot to a minimum, instead letting the stars of the movie (ie the aliens) do the talking. The humans are almost superfluous to the story and at the end you wont really care about the ones that survived - you'll just be comiserating that the didnt put a few more predators in for good measure.… Expand

The lighting is near always dark and murky, the action sequences are filmed in such a disorienting way that it's near impossible to tell who's winning, the characters are little more than one note cardboard cutouts, and the plot itself is little more than-you guessed it- Aliens and Predators going at it for 86 minutes. BUT, if all you want for your buck is two of the most beloved monster franchises ever battling their way through an R-rated sci-fi schlock fest, then here you go. Not only is this AVP immeasurably better than the first, PG-13 rated entry, but it's also way more reverent of both franchises' roots- unlike the first film, this one actually feels like an Alien or Predator movie, and the Brother's Strause should be commended for capturing the mood of the classic films. But don't take that as suggesting that this is as good as Ridley Scott's 'Alien', James Cameron's 'Aliens', or John McTiernan's 'Predator'- 'AVP: Requiem' has more in common with 'Alien 3' and 'Predator 2' in terms of quality and origninality. But that doesn't stop it from being bloody good entertainment, which leads me to say what I thought I would never say: all hail 'AVP 3'!… Expand

I watched this in the theater and on dvd with hight contrast settings. In swear to every thing that is holy - I could not see anything! There was a scene where the camera panned for 2min over absolute blackness while epic battle music was playing. What I liked about his movie was how the predator was practically not a hunter but janitor cleaning up the mess. Some characters were likable but mostly flat - which is OK because they are redshirts anyway. I love how this movie has action from beginning to end, and doesn't take to long to pick up the pace. That the plot was not very deep is a OK in my book. I mean the the title is Alien vs. Predator. Any movie with something vs. something in the title is not going to be an intelectula challenge.

Aliens drop onto a quiet little mountain town. Predator follows it into a quiet little mountain town. The obvious ensues. If you wanted something else, then no it's not for you.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My God was this movie the best, you guys did an outstanding job when making this one. Hopefully we have not seen the end. Have we ever thought about filming the civil war between the Preditors and the Aliens with out the humans involved? You have shown the great hatred both have for each other. Everyone seems to show the Aliens as just animal not a high tech society.

Here comes some spoilers everyone so beware.

When you had the face hugger grab the little boy at the beginning I was cheering, never has a film shown this before. Truly shows how we are just ants in their path. When the Highschool girl takes the spinning at the end holy SH*# was I just amazed. I only wondered why the Predator was trying to cover up what was going on and why only one went after the ship, still I loved the movie and will suggest it to everyone that I talk to. Keep up the Great Work and lets see more of these two worlds colliding. Two great species like these must go on.

I cant understand All the negative comments it's received. you people need to realise its not real! I know i didn't go down to my local cinema expecting an epic movie with human drama, no, I went to see two of the scariest Alien races kick the S**T out of each other. And let me tell you i wasn't disappointed. This time round it feels so much like the movies of the 80's we all came to love. Sure its dark in parts, but that the whole point! Was Alien or Aliens any lighter i ask? no, and the way it was shot really gave it the edge the first AvP so dearly lacked. (I am not going to slate that movie neither, although AvPr is ten times better in my opinion) It is nearly on par with the said movies of yester year! The Acting by the cast members wasn't as horrible as a lot make out. i actually feel that because, they ain't as well known as other Hollywood A listers. there performance was more believable and as true to life as you can get. The Special effects Rocked and this time round they looked more like they did in previous instalments. much more scary! The Predator Was Awsume and i was rooting for him the whole time.

I hope i have not given away anything for people who haven't seen it yet. please do not be put off by the nagative comments this movie has received. Go to this movie for a fun night out. We all know its a sci-fi flick and make the most of it. I mean, Did the other films Have Believable plots? well maybe predator 1 and the Alien trilogy. But We still love them for what they are! Enjoy People and lets Bring on the Next one! The directors have certainly breathed life back into this franchise and i know I'm going to keep going to see them as long as they are made!… Expand

You watch Aliens vs predator for the aliens and the predators. No more, no less...and both movies (AVP1 & 2) DELIVER! So, in summary: If you love watching the coolest fictional monsters in movie history kick each others asses, and kill everybody who gets in between, you SHOULD love this movie. If you still feel like ripping on this greatly entertaining movie then you should crawl back to your disastrously overrated bullsh** like lord of the rings and shut up.… Expand

What a great movie! It's way better than the first Alien vs Predator. Just the way an Alien and Predator movie should be, not to much of a story, brutal action and great special effects!

Just the way an Alien and Predator movie should be, not to much of a story, brutal action and great special effects! The movie is full of action and the effects are beautiful. The best part of the movie is that there are no clichés. It is therefore full of surprises. In the beginning of the movie you see a boy in love with a beautiful girl, so I figured that they survive and live a happy live, as you see in most movies. But not in this case!

I say B******S. This film ROCKS !!!!!! The fight scenes are great, the films plays a " homage " to the other Alien / Predator movies it dosen't rip them off.Anyway so what if it does.Most of the best movies around are a rip off.

Then you get the moaners " you don't get to know the characters " BLAH, BLAH, BLAH !! Please !!!! Someone tell me about these characters, Pvt Frost, Pvt. Spunkmeyer, Pvt. Spunkmeyer, Cpl. Dietrich, Pvt. Crowe, all in Aliens all with about 10 mins of screen time in a 2hr film. So don't **** Anyway who cares 'cos most of the die anyway.

Then you get " the first AVP had no gore, what a bad film " This time you get " having babies and children dying is really bad " Again blah blah blah !!!! This could go on forever, my point is people just want to slag this movie off. Its not the original comic book but who cares. Just grow up , move out of your parents house and get a life.… Expand

If you are a true fan of the universe that has developed around the Alien and Predator movies, novels, and graphic novels, you will see that this movie has really paid attention to detail.

Just don't watch it if you are expecting a deep analysis of the human condition, because it's not there. Or is it? Oh, and if anyone else complains that the movie is dark and you can't see anything I'm going to have to restrain myself.....immediate E-VAC.… Expand
