Absolutely Loved It!

buzzgav from from London, 23rd January, 2008

I had read all the bad reviews on the internet but thought i'd see it anyway and i'm really glad i did - then i can form my own opinion! The only bad point is the acting - yeah, it's a bit wooden and predictable but hey! I felt the storyline picked all the best bits from the Aliens/Predator films and attempted to recycle them - although it wasn't done really well, it was done well enough to keep your attention throughout the whole film. There was enough action from both the Aliens and Predators and was impressive. I do think this is for die-hard fans of the Aliens/Predator films but give it a go and enjoy it for the action/sci-fi flick it is!

shambles

A Customer from Edinburgh, 18th January, 2008

I read all the bad reviews from the states, but as a fan you have to see these films. Unfortunately the bad reviews are all correct. This is a mixed up shambles of a film, it jumps about from one scene to the next not knowing what story if any it is trying to tell. The whole Predator v Alien thing just does not work, another stand alone Predator film would have been a smarter idea. I would suggest you just wait for the dvd if you have to see it.

very average

Russell22 from , 21st January, 2008

The brothers strauss who directed the new avp film said they were gonna make a much better film than avp pt 1 and it would please fans again of both franchises..yawn..it was so obvious from the outset this was gonna be mediocre at best and it was!! I though AVP 1 was ok..not nearly as bad as some suggested it was but certainly no masterpiece and not as best as the best aliens and predator movies seperately..it was a good actioner with litle else to recommend and had the always watchable lance henrikson too. This however has a bunch of mtv actors and some of the worse editing and lighting work i've seen in a film!! Trust me you cannot see a thing that goes on in this film!!..ok so its set at night fair enogh but when the action scenes start the editing is so frantic and the lighting so dark,the scenes lose any cohesion and you miss half of what was filmed. The brothers strauss should stick to sfx and stay away from directing. I hope this is the last avp film..i can't see much of a future for aliens as all the mystery and scares were eliminated eons ago but i still believe a kick ass predator film can be made given the right script and director..here's hoping?

ALIENS VS PREDATOR:REQUIEM

JonnyDay from , 25th January, 2008

I won't tell you too much but in this film the predator is like the one in 1 & 2 - sounds and imagery ripped straight out of the originals, brilliant, the aliens are james cameron's aliens hardly any CGI and sound effects are from the original aliens. The music is awesome as well, every theme from all the franchise is in there at some point. The negative, this is no where near as good as arnie's, the human characters just don't cut it, there's no dutch or hudson to root for, no memorable patter like 'fall in situation position get karnov on de hook' and of course no sign of jim hopper, but i would put it on par with predator 2 which if you consider how crap the last two alien films have been thats not bad. The gore and violence is back and the big baddie's breeding methods are horrific.

This film is excellent, it taks all the best bits from Alien, Predator and AVP. Truly worth the buy. I am waiting to get this on Blu-Ray as the quality will be spot on !

Shot in the dark

JonnyT from , 6th August, 2008

Not sure what other reviewers are on about saying this is a bad movie. It's a great movie but utterly ruined by being so dark almost all of the time. Time and again i had to guess at what i'd just seen, it was awfull and totally unforgiveable. Did no one proof watch this? Did they think we'd all be watching this in a darkroom? The ETs looked fantastic (when you could see anything), and watching 24's Michelle Dessler firing big automatic weapons (nothing wooden about her performance), was a real treat. But it is RIDICULOUSLY DARK and it just kills all the hard work that went into each shot!! Very dissapointing. I only hope they release an enlightened version soon.

Alien Vs predator 2

boneym from from ludlow, 6th August, 2008

All alien films are great, so are the two predator films. So when you get to Alien Vs predator you know that they can only take these films so far. I think we need RIPLEY back.

loved it

Gekko from from Keighley, 6th August, 2008

the use of the sound effects from the earlier movies make this a more gritty than its predecessor. I really enjoyed the plot and the special effects are great.
