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

I don't know why everybody is bashing the movie so hard.

Yeah, sure its not up there with ridley scott or james cameron's version but it sure as hell beats the *beep* out of avp1 and aliens4. In some parts I felt like I was watching a reI don't know why everybody is bashing the movie so hard.

In some parts I felt like I was watching a re enacting of aliens (the familiar scenes and background musics while they rode the tank and the getaway from the nukes).

I've been a alien fan since I first seen alien back in the 70's as a kid. I had already given up on seeing a alien (/predator) movie that would really entertain me.

The movie was not without flaws, and im not talking about a weak plot (dude, its aliens vs predator not shindlers list).

OK, the teenage drama stuff was kind of unnecessary but it didn't bother me that much.

What really annoyed me was the way to close up shots during the action scenes, combined with the fast movement and the plentiful darkness I had a hard time recognizing what was going on at some points.

*beep* that bourne legacy camera and cutting style (it totally ruins the action!) I want to see what is happening and don't want to guess who just got what, where.

I understand the film makers wanted to avoid showing the creatures too clearly to make them more frightening, that's all right. But It was just too dark at times.

All in all a good movie, compared to what we have been fed in the past since aliens (alien3 was OK but NO GUNS WTF?!?).

I would happily buy a ticket for avp3 if they decide to continue the story where avp2 ended. As I said, its a action/scifi/monster flick and it does its job good. So please don't look for shindlers list, you wont find it here.

I do hope they are going to lend a bit more from the avp comics, that would be so awesome. This part was a nice start.
