Review of Aliens vs Predator: Requiem (2007) by Volhome — 20 Nov 2020

Hearing some of the negative quotes and reviews, we nearly skipped the movie until it was available on DVD. 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.
