 TWO BATTLES YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS! A GUILTY PLEASURE! June 15, 2008
11 out of 15 found this review helpful
I know that purist are not fond of what's been going on with their beloved Alien and Predator franchises, but truth be told these film aren't bad. All things considered they have come up with a story that works to bring the two classic creatures together to do battle in this fun action flick and it's sequel!
I love movies and appreciate great works of art in film. I also am not above loving a good popcorn flick! Movies are here for our enjoyment, but unfortunately, some people are so pompous they forget what it's all about! ....... entertainment! I'm not knocking world class films like Gone With The Wind, Citizen Kane, The Godfather etc..etc., but all films don't have to be so profound......do they?
This gimmick is no different than what was done in the 40's when classic films like 'Frankenstein' and 'The Bride Of Frankenstein' had sequels like 'Frankenstein meets the Wolfman'! Although it's not a classic, it's still a memorable and fun movie.
These films don't destroy what was great about the classics, they actually pay great respect...a homage if you will to the originals. If you don't like these films....fine, but for me I have to admit I enjoy them ...if done right. The unrated versions are the best versions I've seen and the first film edges out the sequel, mostly because you can see all the action!
I did not have the same problem some reviewers have stated about everything being in the dark(to be fair I do have a huge screen, it might make a difference??). Some scenes are dark, but I only had two scenes where I couldn't tell who was kicking who's butt! It only lasted for a few seconds each time. It could have been brighter, but it wasn't too distracting. Grab some popcorn and some beers and watch these Sci-Fi Battle Royals!
 AVP: Ridiculous March 25, 2008
8 out of 24 found this review helpful
Let me begin this review by explaining to those who may not know, that there are a series of very well written AVP books. The central figure is a woman named Machiko Noguchi, who works for Weyland-Yutani Corporation. The series starts off on a colony world, and long story short, much like the original AVP movie, Machiko is blooded as a Predator warrior. But where the first AVP movie made an uninspiring choice, in the AVP books, Machiko joins the predators on their hunts across the galaxy, which makes for a gripping story with her internal conflicts between her loyalty to the predators, her hatred of the aliens, and her heritage as a human. They're really well done, and I highly recommend them:
1. Prey (Aliens Vs. Predator, Book 1)
2. Hunter's Planet (Aliens Vs. Predator, Book 2)
3. War (Aliens Vs. Predator, Book 3)
So, given this context, I found the first AVP movie to be by far the most closely aligned with this vision of AVP, although disappointing that it stopped short of carrying through with the theme described in the novels. Not surprisingly, I found the second AVP movie (requiem), to not only be an unfaithful extension of that theme and a complete deviation from previously understood Alien canon, but also an utter mess of a movie in general.
I would rank the Alien movies as follows:
1. Aliens (*****)
2. Alien (*****)
3. AVP 1 (***)
4. Alien 3 (**)
5. Alien Resurrection (**)
6. AVP Requiem (*)
To provide additional insight about my view of this movie, I own all previously released Alien movies, but have no intention of wasting my money on this one. Furthermore, after I'd finished viewing this movie at the theatre, I was actually incensed as I told myself that I'd just lost 101 minutes of my life that I could never get back.
Do yourself a favor - spend some quality time with a friend or family member, go out to a nice restaurant, or read a good book (such as those I've listed above), but DO NOT waste some of your precious time on this Earth watching this stinker.

I've seen the movie at the Big Screen-Plix! If you are a fan of the AVP then you will love it! Since the first PG-13/UNRATED version came out, this version, i.e. the R version-shows it like it should be-Blood and Guts! Action-a Roller Coaster Ride to Hell 'n back! Fun as all hell! My friend who was watching with me complained that the dialogue tanked! Jesus Christ!, if you want Dialogue-watch them boring Academy Award nodder's-ZZZZZZZZZ! Six Star's from me! Have fun with it! Reminds me of the time when I was a kid playing a version of "Monsters" and "Hide 'n Seek" at the same time!
 BEWARE OF DEFECTIVE COPIES BEING SOLD! April 21, 2008
4 out of 9 found this review helpful
I SAW ALIENS VS PREDATOR - REQUIM, AT THE THEATRE. THE PICTURE QUALITY WAS GREAT. EVERYTHING WAS CRYSTAL CLEAR. I COULD SEE THE VIBRANT COLORS OF THE TREES AND PLANTS. CLOTHING COLORS WERE CLEAR. I COULD SEE THE DETAILS OF THE ALIENS AND THE PREDATOR. IT WAS AN EXCELLANT LOOKING PICTURE. WHEN I RECEIVED MY COPY OF THE 2 PACK ALIEN VS PREDATOR 1 AND ALIENS VS PREDATOR - REQUIM. I WAS VERY EXCITED TO WATCH THE MOVIE. IT WAS HORRIBLE. I WAS FURIOUS. IT IS CRIMINAL THAT THEY ARE SELLING A PRODUCT THAT IS THIS BAD. THEIR WAS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM AT THE FACTORY WHEN PRODUCING THE DVD TRANSFER. EVERYTHING WAS VERY DARK. MANY TIMES THE PICTURE ON THE TV SCREEN WAS NEARLY ALL BLACK AND SOMETIMES ALL BLACK. IT WAS LIKE LISTENING TO A RADIO BROADCAST. I ONLY WATCHED ABOUT 40 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF. I AM SENDING IT BACK TO AMAZON BECAUSE IT IS DEFECTIVE. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. MATTHEW PENDERGRAPH IS FULL OF SH ^#@*(&! THE DVD IS DEFECTIVE. THEY NEED TO RE-RELEASE IT.

Can't compare to the original movie in which you could see the action. This mess was shot mostly in the dark so you can't see anything much. All you get is a soundtrack with everyone yelling at one another. My guess is that it takes less talent and money to make a dark movie.
I exchanged my first DVD for a replacement, which was just as bad as the first one.....so I guess I didn't get a defective disk, the movie is just too dark to see. I guess the producer wanted to leave the action to your imagination????
