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

Critics trashed this movie and it didn't set box office records, but people, that doesn't mean a thing. Timing of the release and market competiton might have been a problem. Critics are paid well to be critical so they have something to do with their miserable lives. If you loved Preditor, Preditor 2 and Aliens; you will appreciate and love this movie. AVP Requium has it all: trade the jungles of Honduras for the forests of Colorado, trade urban nightmare Los Angles for a quaint, idealic, small town; trade the dark, rainy terraforming colony on planet LV7 for a dark, rainy, mountain region power plant; then add the soundtrack that is so familiar and you've got a fantastic new episode in the saga franchise of AVP. My only caviat is that, due to the dark cinematography, you MUST watch this in a totally dark room to catch all the detail. Scenes are dim. There isn't enough moonlighting or streetlighting to provide high contrast, but that can be seen as a plus. In your home theater room with your wide screen HDTV and 5, 6 or 7.1 Dolby surround sound you get the theater experience that was intended. AVP Requium is a perfect fit in the long saga and, if 20th Century Fox wants to cash in, opens the door to a possible future film that gives us a better look at the Preditors home world. Cross your fingers!
