With a spike in the gore quotient, hardcore fans left baying for Paul WS Anderson’s blood after the first AVP may be happy. Those interested in anything more than a barely comprehensible bitch-slap between two ill-treated icons should take a rain-check.
At best the movie's an unpretentious pile-up of B-movie clichés, but why "Requiem"? Time to give it a rest now.
Top Critic The world's most illogical and boring action-horror grudge-match between two dull trademarked franchise monsters is back on.
Top Critic Top Critic This feature directing debut from former visual effects men Colin and Greg is enjoyable enough in rudimentary tension/splatter/scrap terms, but it still doesn't live up to its heritage.
Top Critic Top Critic Scriptwriter Shane Salerno’s dialogue is unspeakable, the visceral horror all too familiar, and the ideas distinctly second-hand.
Top Critic Top Critic Does Alien vs. Predator: Requiem spell the end of the dual-monster franchise? Let's hope so
Well, there's not much to see here. And I mean that literally.
Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem is literally shrouded in darkness, and the only explicable reason for this pitch-black visual schema is that the filmmakers understood it was better if no one could see the **** they were shooting.
...wastes no money on stars, no time on plot or character, and no lighting on the set...
Again, the Aliens are slapdash in their rampaging and the Predator is relatively moral, holding to strict rules of hunting.
... why not just film an intergalactic reality show where eager young predators can prove their worth for fabulous prizes by surviving 24 hours on the alien homeworld?
The Old School nondigital face-huggings and chest-burstings don't compensate for the Sci Fi network dialogue and story logic.
Fez com que eu percebesse que, de repente, estar no meio de uma guerra entre duas criaturas mortais pode não ser um destino tão horrível como eu imaginava. Ao menos, eu estaria livre de acompanhar esta série.
The mechanics of it are so aggravating that by the time you get to an actual throw-down, it's all but impossible to care about how poorly lit the rumble is.
The film's production values are good, but the goings-on are laughable, if not downright boring.
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is a B movie that truly earns its B.
