It was a good movie. Non stop action and a few scares. The fight sequences were well executed maybe slightly dark with a good scene involving the national guard and another good scene with the predator fighting the aliens in the hospital

I saw this movie last year and it rocks. It's so much better than the first one. Like 5 times better, maybe even 6. I can't wait to see it in the theater!

AvP: R is teh swweetest film in a decade. Aylesworth's brilliance on screen in transcedant. I can't wait for the next foray into this, possibly the greatest of all stories told by humans.

I'll give it a 10 to balance the bad reviews, at least a bit. I got wht I paid for and wasn't disappointed. You don't go to this kind of movie expecting Ingmar Bergman with photon torpedos, for goodness' sake!

Lets start with a simple question- do you like Aliens, do you like predator. If the answer to those questions is no, or you havn't grown up, watched and loved both movies (and sequals) as many people my age, then really what are you Lets start with a simple question- do you like Aliens, do you like predator. If the answer to those questions is no, or you havn't grown up, watched and loved both movies (and sequals) as many people my age, then really what are you even reading this review for, and why are you contemplating watching this movie? 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

I can forgive the shortcomings For me, this was potentially the best movie of the year. Why? because i love the franchise. It gave me exactly what i wanted to see, lots of humans dying, some hints as to how the canon universe came about. I can forgive the shortcomings such as the too-close battle scenes to make up for the probably horrible models, because it was still a rollicking good tale to watch. To all those who can't see why only one predator came to earth, perhaps you should stop thinking like a human and take it from the whole 'death and the glory of the hunt perspective' he's a predator, he does what he wants.… Expand

At last. Now this is what an "AVP" film should be: "Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem" has it all - action, special effects, violence, gore, and two races of alien beasts dueling for supremacy. It's an intense action experience from start to finish!

ThisWhen I went to watch this movie I was expecting just another Hollywood piece of potboiler junk, but I was surprised. This movie is actually good and as much as I would like to rag it, I can't because the movie gives no cause to do so. This movie is an action-packed science-fiction thriller in which the humans are completely superfluous except when they get in the way of the humanoids who have made earth their battlefield, and there's nothing the humans can do about it. NOTHING! This may be the first sci-fi movie in which the humans are completely helpless and rendered incapable of fighting back. In other words it's an original story, and it's the humanoids who are the stars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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.… Expand

The opening was sheer brilliance, i loved looking inside the ship and life of these Predators because we have not seen this in any of the films.

The characters are kind of lame but if they aren't brought into the film as soldiers what can you do? Nothing. Just watch them die at the hands of these alien killing machines.

The scenes on which each alien/human interaction is shot is awesome, i loved the underground stuff and the above ground action scenes are just as good! This is made possible by the most seamless use of 3D graphics tied into the real-life filming.

To conclude, this movie rocks. It incorporates every aspect of the Alien & Predator franchise, as well as introducing many new techniques during action scenes. The action is 100% gut wrenchingly sick and AWESOME.

I truly recommend this film to any fans.… Expand

I have waited for this one all year and wow, what a movie. This could be interpreted as a direct rip off of Aliens, with brief moments of Alien3 and Alien resurrection, or paying homage to the classics that came before it. I say Aliens in particular, as you will see when you watch it. It also has the feel of the original Predator, right down the original music. If you want a bad arse predator back, not one that teams up with people!! and relentless, murderous, hard core aliens swarming the town, this is the movie for you. This left me wanting more. Let's hope the studio can see that these classic movies should now be reinstated in their own right. Bring on Predator 3 and Alien 5… Expand

The single Yaujta is probably a warrior or an elder, therefore highly skilled and more than capable of handling the situation....or at least that's what the yaujta think at the time.

It was every thing I expected it to be and better1! One Predator against millions of Aliens and a PredAlien, which looked awesome by the way! It set itself apart from the first movie when both the father and 8 year old son get face hugged! Plus the killing of newborn babies in the hospital (You don't see it) and how the PredAlien inserted FOUR embryos down the throat of the woman was... It was like every fan across the world got together to make a good Alien Vs Predator movie! I didn't acknowledge the little plot holes; i just turned my brain off and watched the film, and I'd suggest you do the same!!

Overall, 10-10! Well done!… Expand

AVPR didn't quite have the actors fans or other movie watchers would of liked but they did a much better job than the actors in AVP in my opinion. Each of the characters were more interesting then the AVP ones, even if the actors in AVPR weren't the greatest. Other than the actors AVPR was filled with great action sequences, Daniel Pearl did a great job, Brian Tyler's score could of been more intense and action based but other than that the movie kept me entertained.

So overall I'd say Aliens vs. Predator Requieum was a big success over AVP and all Alien and Predator fans should see this film because I believe it gives the creatures what they deserved from the beginning.… Expand

The plot is great, and the action scenes are amazing. The film has some very disturbing images in it, and some amazing gore. I think they've finally nailed a great match-up with the species.

You try to stack this against Ridley's Alien or Cameron's Aliens or even McTiernan's Predator, it's not quite comparing apples to apples -- not because those are better films (but they are, obviously), but because they're telling entirely different kinds of stories from an entirely different perspective.

It is time. Keep releasing movies, but build the series with a TV show instead of relying on comics and books. I can't wait and I look forward to the next chapter in the series.… Expand

Well that would have been a mistake. For a change, it felt like we got a similar feel for characters that we did in the original Alien (and since I am old enough to have seen that at its original release, it has been easy to follow the entire franchise pair). We got to know some characters a little, and they died. We got to know some characters a lot, and they died. We got to know some characters, and they lived. The mayhem was overwhelming, and just what it would be during an infestation by Aliens. Throw in the Predator for cleanup measure, and it magnifies the Wow factor by ten. As with every movie, I expect license to be taken from prior franchisees. And I don't have to have perfect storyline flow from one source to the next. As long as there are no major screw-ups, we charge ahead like was done here. Full steam, and available for future sequels. Before you see the movie, take some time to try to figure out what it would be like in your town if this really happened. This is one glimpse in that window. Kudos to the entire team.… Expand

The purpose of this film is for the shear entertainment value of watching the predator kick the snot out of every thing in sight.

Last time I checked the first films, with the exclusion of Alien, lacked a solid plot and characters where poorly developed. If you base your review on past movies you should consider the type of film you are watching. This is a Sci-Fi Horror film. Have you ever wanted to watch a horror film with a plot? Most of the time we watch them to be scared.

I recommend to anyone looking for a great all out kill fest to go see this film. If you want a plot or something that will win an award don't go see it.… Expand

We finally get to see these two nasties duke it out in full R rated glory as it should be. Of course the humans were boring and seemed to be extras from other teeny-bopper flicks, but they are just meant to be hosts and target practice for the true stars of the film. I will admit that some scenes were a little tasteless, especially the 8 year old boy and the maternity ward scenes, but the tie-in to the other Alien films at the end made it worthwhile. Plus, it is the first time since Aliens that I actually felt tension in the rest of the audience, and my brother-in-law told me that in several scenes he thought he was going to rip the armrest off of the chair because he was gripping it so tight. Cannot wait for the third!!!… Expand

In my opinion, this movie was able to keep the feel of both the original Alien movie and the Predator movie. It was scary, disturbing but somewhat believable too. Hard to describe without spoilers. Long story short. If you enjoyed AlienIn my opinion, this movie was able to keep the feel of both the original Alien movie and the Predator movie. It was scary, disturbing but somewhat believable too. Hard to describe without spoilers. Long story short. If you enjoyed Alien movies and predator movies. You should like this movie much better than the last one. I was so, disappointed in the 1st AVP so the only reason I went to see this was because my son wanted to see it. I was happily surprised. The only thing though that bothered me was that before in scary movies (even if this doesn't fall under the category of scary) they left out children and pregnant women. This isn't the case in this movie. If this would be something that would disturb you - this may not be the movie for you. Logistics part though - if you think about this on a species level... a species looking to take over wouldn't hesitate for a child or mother-to-be. All together... a great movie. I hope that they leave it alone and end this title on a good note and not ruin it with endless bad additions to the series.… Expand

The reason why this movie is so good is that there is lots of action in it. The storyline is good. The actors are not so bad but they are not the best actors in the world. The way they did the aliens and predators are really good but the aliens look different in this one but they still look really good. The actors that played the aliens and predator did it really good and they should play them again if there are future sequels. So i am sure you will not be disappointed with aliens vs. predator requiem. so make sure you rent or buy aliens vs. predator requiem because it is a really good movie.

To me, this movie is like a combination of Aliens and Predator. This movie was jam-packed with action, gore, and plenty of violence! Basically what happens is, that the movie starts where the original AVP left off. The Predalien bursts out of the predator 'Scar' and kills the other predators on their ship, causing it to crash in the Colorado woods. A father and son hunting nearby, come to investigate and end up getting attacked by some face huggers that escaped the wreckage. Back on the Predator home world, a truly bad-ass predator receives a distress signal from the down ship and gears up to go and clean up the mess. The next few scenes are basically getting to know the main characters and their stories. People start to go missing and soon, the predators and aliens and predalien, duke it out in an underground sewer system, take the battle to a power plant, a restaurant, a store (where the few main characters are hold up), a school, a hospital, and finally, the big roof-top battle. My favorite scenes were definitely when the predator stalks the people in the forest, and all the scenes in the hospital. This movie had everything I had hoped an AVP movie would have, and more! There were only two tiny things that i thought were wrong. This movie is very dark, lighting wise, and sometimes I thought that some of the fights were a bit too dark, so that you couldn't really see much of what was going on. It wasn't that big a deal. Another thing, which both AVP movies have in common, is timing. They go by two fast. Or at least the beginning of this one did. One thing they should do to try and fix that is going back to the way that the original films started up. Slow and calm, like Alien. I think that would help with timing and maybe get these movies a little more paced and suspenseful. If you haven't already seen this movie, then I recommend seeing it as soon as possible, because you will love it, whether you are a fan or not!… Expand

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

AVP Requiem is worth to see and it gives the whole story a new step forward to the plot. We see how Weyland-Yutani corporation, the company that sent Ripley to the LV-426 planet starts to evolve as a weapon company and how it meets the Alien creature. With the new CGI technology the creatures appear more true than ever!If you are looking for a film which has a plot that forces you to think how it evolves don't waste your time with this.

Small town, dozens of monsters fighting against one monster, rain, cool deaths, plenty of blood, cool action sequences, the hybrid "PredAlien"-what more could you ask for? I wasn't bored for a minute. The ending wasn't that great, but still good enough. My only complaints were the CGI (but not over the top like most movies nowadays) and the cliché'd "jock" character.

First off you have to think that this is a prequel. Secondly, because no one went to the last one in the theaters they really weren't willing to stick their necks out financially. Besides this, AVPR is an excellent jaunt thru the AVP lore. The complete lack of any sort of story is nothing in comparison to the awesome action that takes place on the screen. Folks, this is an action movie. Aliens was Horror/Sci-Fi. Not every adventure into this series has to be as serious as that title.

Both were cool characters in their own field. The Predalien leading its newest band of murderous aliens to dominate a poor mountain town while the Predator cleans up the mess as best he can. And the fights between the two were brief yet awesome! that was how it should be: one Predator against a hoard of aliens! And while the characters weren't that interesting, I liked them anyway because they remind me that you don't have to have some epic background to react to the terror before you. These are just everyday people living their lives when ugly monsters start killing off their friends and taking over the town.

The predators eliminates the aliens in order to gain themselves food, power and in the human's case, safety. I bought this movie and i would never think of renting it...you must buy it. But, there are a few cons for this film. They are; it's filmed in the dark too much. It doesn't contain much of a story plot, and too many of the characters survive. Normally in a film, only 1 or 2 characters survive but in this case, about 4 or 5 survive.But i still thought this movie was excellent!… Expand

After watching the first avp i was very disappointed because throughout the movie ,aliens had an upper hand.They were very powerful such that one alien killed two predators and the third predator killed only a few aliens .i.e most of the aliens were killed in that explosion. Being a fan predator i couldn't accept that movie.Predators are very powerful hunters and their technology is far more advanced than the humans.That is what we can understand from the predator movies. So the first alien vs predator was a huge disappointment for me.But in the second movie the predator is very powerful and he kills many aliens. Of course the concept of one predator was disappointing.I am not saying that the aliens are not powerful.It is only because of the technology that the predator succeeds, otherwise both aliens and predators are equal in terms of power.That is why the predator,in this movie,is powerful and keeps on killing aliens.According to me the movie was good in fact.Anyway it was brilliant than the first part… Expand

The CGI in the film wasn't extremely prefect, but it was great when the people who did the CGI made the aliens, predators, and other visual effects amazing. I would say that the directors, scriptwriters, (etc.) did a very awful job in this film when trying to make this sequel more better than the last film, Alien V.S. Predator.

I thought this film was a little bit better than the first AVP, but I'd say this film would defiantly be best enough for it to be one of the epic sci-fi horror creature features.

Like I said, the special effects were great, but the actors were under-rated. I mean, I know they continue the series showing what happens after the first AVP, but I wanted to see the same protagonist at first.

The directors who made this film should have thought twice about trying to make this nearly earn a "Worst Film" award. I wish they had more thinking in the film.

There were a few errors I realized in the film: The deaths by the aliens and PredAlien were up too close (Meaning that the camera came up to close to the Alien's and Pred Alien's kills.) Acting is in between middle and below by the under rated actors.



This wasn't the awesome, but the worst and best film in my opinion.

The effects in this movie, in comparison the the entire Alien/Predator saga, are amazing. This in tandem with the camera work makes is a quality piece of work. The acting is noteworthy, believable, and genuine. There are many unknown actors here, but all pull through with a great performance. The story is awesome, adds a lot to the Alien and Predator storyline, and leaves much much room for another movie.

I highly recommend this movie to all sci-fi and action buffs; it has plenty of both in combination with good acting and a cool storyline.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie gets a lot of hate that I will never understand. I don't know what people are looking for when it comes to these movies, they are so judgmental and hateful. I love this movie due to its use of the Aliens and Predator. The costume designs are tight, the Alien Predator hybrid is so dope I can't even. The only thing I never understood about AvP or this one is how fast the aliens grow. Not a complaint it just doesn't make sense. But the action in this film is tight, when the predator accidentally kills the hot blonde is one of the best scenes in a slasher film. The pool scene is creepy and the hospital scene is so disturbing its great. People complain about it being too dark, but then people also complain about movies when you can see the monster and it's no longer scary. AVP: Requiem is a great film and I'm sad we never got more of these. Anyone who hates this and likes The Predator is an idiot.

You findIt has been awhile since I have seen a movie that has really kicked a whole lot of ass. This is just such a film. AVPR picks up right where the first film left off, and from beginning to end it is non-stop Predator Vs. Alien action. You find yourself thinking you will be watching a predictable "Horror" film and find yourself a surprisingly satisfying, actually scary at points, thing of beauty.

Clocking in at almost 90 minutes it hardly seems that short. With actors that have not done anything huge before, but still deliver, and fight scenes between our two favorite extraterrestrials this film has every right to be called a Blockbuster.

For Vetrans of the Aliens series, you will notice a few actors and other things, that were previously featured in the various films.

Though it does have a rather simple plot, you hardly notice underneath all of the cage match action between two of the most terrifying monsters in film history. And the ending gives sweet promises of a sequel.

Bottom Line- See this movie, if you don't you are going to feel very left out on what everyone will be talking about the next day.… Expand

BTW fellows, if your wife wants to have another child and you ain't thrilled with the prospect, take her to see this movie. Even as a long time fan of the Alien franchise, I found the nursery scene to be a bit unnerving!

Touching on the weak points first, aside from the absence of plot, there were a couple of other things that I have to pick on. First off, since when did the gestation for the Aliens get so short? In the last two AvP movies, it looks like minutes instead of hours or even days like in the original Alien movies. Two, other than Alien fodder, why were such useless characters like the Blond girl, the Stoners, and the Careless Guy, put into this movie? It was obvious from the moment they stepped on screen (and from the trailers) that caring in any way for those characters was going to be like getting to know the Red-Shirted Ensigns from Star Trek!

But, as I indicated by the rating, there is more to like than to dislike. There are a few "shadow" scenes that vaguely reference the other movies in the Alien and Predator franchises: The Predator "praying" over a fallen comrade (Predator 2); an Alien "examining" a potential victim (Alien 3); the Predalien peering through the medical curtain at it's next victim (Alien 3); an Alien plays fish in the town swimming pool (Alien Ressurrection); the Aliens scream, screech, and move like the ones from Aliens. The action scenes were perfect, and I actually found the tension building and the heartbeat hastening during the earth-shattering final confrontation! Also, the way the Predator showed off his hunting skills, which were far superior to any of the Hunter's we have seen before, made you almost want to cheer for the him.

I don't know if there will be another movie in the Alien, Predator, or AvP franchises, or even if we need another movie, but AvP Requiem is a fine addition, worthy of it's name.… Expand

The terror of the alien invasion tactic is amazing to watch, and Predator culture is as badass as ever.

The fights are very epic... far better than the first avp movie. The sets showing aliens infesting human territory are excellently done, more like in Aliens. Also, unlike in Transformers, the use of human and military characters doesn't interrupt the real focus we're here to see: aliens and predators causing terror and destruction! That said, a few things are understated and some impacts could've been more brutal, but the action is in many cases easily better than many recent action movies.

The real gold under it all was that I was intensely satisfied by the expansion of the epic mythology built up through each Alien and Predator movie so far, as well as in the AVP games and novels. It was epic to see the beginnings of the Wayland-Yutani Corporation taken a step further (it appears in Alien and Aliens, and remember the Weyland corporation that starts the search for the temple in AVP1?) Also there's some internet joke references that are like icing on the cake (admiral ackbar, Schwarzenegger quotes).

I was really satisfied overall and hope more movies are like this, it could be the revival of the true Hollywood action blockbuster.… Expand

I came to see Aliens and Predators trying to kick each other's ass!! The human characters may have been 2 dimensional, but who really cares? After all, the title is 'Aliens vs Predator,' not 'Gunnerson, CO, A Love Story.' From readingI came to see Aliens and Predators trying to kick each other's ass!! The human characters may have been 2 dimensional, but who really cares? After all, the title is 'Aliens vs Predator,' not 'Gunnerson, CO, A Love Story.' From reading previous posts, you all know the story and how it goes. The first movie was about the Predator's hunting the Aliens as a right of passage, earning the right to wear shoulder cannons. The addition of the Weyland Corp. discovering the temple in the Antarctic was a good story arc.

This time around, there's the Alien/ Predator hybrid to tangle with from the first movie. Before there is any argument over whether or not the alien takes on the characteristics of its host, I'll remind you that the alien did in the 3rd movie - it burst out of a dog, if I recall correctly, and ran after Ripley and the prisoners on all fours, like it's host would. (My inner nerd/ geek coming out, here)

Another poster mentioned the showing of the hybrid in the nursery to imply it ate the human babies before shoving little baby aliens down the throats of pregnant women, as being "too over the top." I don't recall the aliens having a soul or regard for human or other life; just being the perfect killing machines that they are. Engineered and bred to kill and they do in spades in this film.

I did root for the Predator, and always will, because unlike the aliens, they do have a code. In Predator 2, he was about to kill a woman cop until he discovered she was pregnant. He let her live unlike the aliens in this movie as I mentioned above. Here, we see that he's portrayed much like Harvey Keitel's character of "The Cleaner" in 'Point of No Return' (remember when he dissolved the targets in the fountain using acid?) or 'Pulp Fiction.' He doesn't care how the mess got created, he's just there to clean it up as best he can and leave no traces. Like my Drill Instructor always said - "We were never here."

Why I gave it a '9' out of 10? First was the lighting - too dark; what's wrong with using dimmer light? Have it take place at dusk or dawn, or something? Another was because this Predator was bad ass from the get go; taking on 5 aliens at once isn't an easy feat, but from the sight of his trophy room it's clear he's accomplished and more than capable of handling his task. However, I was let down by him taking one of his shoulder cannons and turning it into a pistol. That cheapened his image for me, because I felt the Predator to be like a ninja type hunter and not have to resort to something that crude. I suppose as maybe a last resort, but still it didn't sit right with me.

The ending I felt was rushed, but it had the same feel as the 'Resident Evil' franchise; giving it a mediocre ending to leave wide enough room for a sequel.

IMO, the human characters just got in the way. Perhaps a better installment to appease everyone would be to leave out the human characters, and have us watch a movie with zero dialog set on a desolate planet in the far reaches of space where we can see both species' behavior in action.

Then again, people would **** about that, too.… Expand

Now, don't get me wrong, it wasn't 100% spot on and of course, there were flaws with the character selection and storyline, but all in all, the movie delivers everything that one expects from an alien movie - gore, shocks, amazing special effects and plenty of thrills and spills.

The movie sort of takes the next step from Alien Resurrection's ending and brings the aliens to earth and explores the massacre that happens when aliens are let loose amongst the general population, and there are plenty of shocks and scares when some unsuspecting homeless person, father and son hunting team or high school jock runs into a facehugger or alien sentry.

The characters aren't particularly interesting - there's no Ripley here - but at the end of the day, you want the humans to live and for the aliens not to spread past the town's borders and infest the rest of the world - there were plenty of shocks and gasps when the main characters are killed one by one in a manner of gruesome encounters.

The best thing about the movie for me had to be all the nods to the original movies - the opening titles have the sound effect from aliens when Hudson is tracking the aliens and they're coming closer and closer, when the humans get into the army truck and drive off the score is similar to when Ripley commanders the naval soldiers' truck and drives the rescue mission into the aliens nest, when the civil guard attacks the aliens, you have the same screaming, mass chaos and alien screams that you hear when the soldiers get attacked in aliens, and of course, the ending with the mystery lady......

All in all, this was the kind of AVP and alien movie that I was looking forward to and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope the ongoing interest in the franchise encourages Cameron or Scott or Weaver to get back to the drawing board and bring us a new Alien movie to continue the alien story - with Ripley!

Go see it, shocks and gore galore!… Expand

I'm a big fan of Alien, Aliens, and Predator... Alien 3, Resurrection... not so much... Hated AVP 1.

When I saw the Rated R Trailer for this, I was intrigued. This film rocks. It's not an Oscar winner, and it's not going to win any awards,I'm a big fan of Alien, Aliens, and Predator... Alien 3, Resurrection... not so much... Hated AVP 1.

This film rocks. It's not an Oscar winner, and it's not going to win any awards, but it's a lot of fun. I found it was well acted for a bunch of unknown actors... the dialogue wasn't too bad, and the predator and aliens were bad ass... also the film has everything from a huge merciless body count to some kick ass fight sequences.

I thought the film was pretty well directed... at least better than the films that I dislike from above.

There were some character flaws, but with some thought it made sense. I would like to see the directors cut (if there is one) just for a bit more character development.

It's worth a watch!… Expand
