Review of Aliens vs Predator: Requiem (2007) by Oihadsf — 26 Nov 2020

10 out of 10 you better believe it... but why?

Like I said, the comments sold me on this film. Every bad comment discussed character development, plot lines, plot holes, etc etc. Every great comment discussed kick assery, sweet gadgets, and lots and lots of mindless violence and destruction. That's how I knew I would love this movie. Now before the nut jobs reading this judge me, I'm not a fan of real life violence. I understand the difference between fantasy and reality. Which is why I can love this movie so damn much. Here it goes...

Look at the title people. I think the first three words might be Alien vs. Predator. I don't see anything in that title that would lead me to believe "Oscar worthy" or "in-depth". So I wonder, when you hear that what does your brain think? If your brain thinks character development, then you have serious problems with the way your brain processes information. If you hear sweet alien death scenes then your brain is working top notch. Just think about it, when you hear WWF Cage Match are you really hoping to see 40 minutes of The Undertaker discussing why he's in the cage match and how if he doesn't win, he won't have the money for his daughter's surgery. Hell no, all you hear is kicking ass. (On a side note I don't watch wrestling, it's just a good metaphor).

This movie was everything I wanted it to be. I didn't want to see a movie that sucked me into the characters and made me care about them. I didn't want a movie that spent more than five minutes progressing a plot. I wanted exactly what that title states. I wanted something based solely on straight up sci-fi killing madness. The damn movie is called Alien vs. Predator. That's all I wanted to see and that's exactly what I got. Aliens fighting a predator, a predator fighting aliens. It's in the damn title people.

If you went to see this movie and didn't enjoy it... tough luck. Think for a change. So to actually give some advice for the movie going public that is still reading this far, (congrats, you have patience above and beyond the majority of people, which is kinda sad, but $#%& them, they couldn't read this far anyways) if you want an in depth movie that will make you think and care and feel emotions, DO NOT see this movie. You will hate it. Go see Juno or Charlie Wilson's War instead. However, if you want exactly what the title states, you will get it, and you will love every single moment of it. This movie is as bad ass as it is kick ass. Trust me on this one, if watching Alien's fight a Predator ends up in your fantasies as often as hot chick's do (which I honestly hope it doesn't, though I can understand how that could be) you will love everything you see.
