Synopsis: ALIEN VS. PREDATOR relegated its intergalactic grudge match to Antarctica, keeping most of humankind gleefully ignorant. This time around, though, the destruction takes place in suburban America, and those who have been waiting for it finally get to witness facehuggers, alien hybrids,... [More]
Genre: Science-Fiction/Fantasy

Beast vs. beast, and it's not compelling in the least. Studio Fox rolls its two rampaging monster franchises out of cryo-stasis in this clunky and dumb sequel to the clunky and dumb 2004 eyesore, Alien vs. Predator
Top Critic
Well, it's official: the Road to Hell is pretty much paved over ... the Strause Brothers ... expressed their [good] intention to return to the dark, scary tone of 1979's Alien, yet Requiem is just about as bad as its 2004 predecessor.
Too underlit to qualify as splatter, too bloodless to qualify as fun, too unaware of its own idiocy to be enjoyed Grindhouse-style, AvP:R is a real education in the finer stratifications of badness.
Does Alien vs. Predator: Requiem spell the end of the dual-monster franchise? Let's hope so
I'm left wondering why I felt like I was watching two different movies that never quite came together as a parallel arc beyond the clunky "They're all fighting personal wars" motif...
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.
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.
The world's most illogical and boring action-horror grudge-match between two dull trademarked franchise monsters is back on.

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.
Scriptwriter Shane Salerno’s dialogue is unspeakable, the visceral horror all too familiar, and the ideas distinctly second-hand.
Top Critic
...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?
