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

This was the film that I was hoping the first one would be! 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.
