Movie Review :
Aliens vs. Predator," the epic movie crossover battle nobody wanted to see in the first place, is back for a second time. This movie is directed by Colin and Greg Strause, who determined to make a thrilling movie. If you are looking for an upside to the current writers' strike, take relief in the fact that it could only delay the expected "Alien vs. Predator 3."
"Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem" starts as a Predator's spaceship collapses into a quaint Colorado town due to an attack by stowaway Alien face-huggers. The Aliens infect the Predator resulting in a grotesque Alien/Predator hybrid monster that terrifies the simple country folk of the small mountain town. On top of Aliens running wild throughout the town, another Predator has raveled from "Predator-ville" to take revenge of the death of his comrade. Who knew the Predators lived by a sringent code of honor. This proves that the Predator character has more depth than any of the horribly acted human characters.
For a film with the word "versus" in the title, there is a probability of intense action that would start in the very first scene and never let up. The first half of the movie is almost wasted in establishing clichéd characters whose names were so unique that you won't even remember even after the end of the movie. The boring subplots get interesting only in the way of the inter-alien rampage everyone paid to see. The movie has little to invoke sympathy for the characters as the audience still cheers as each of them dies by the blade of some techno-spear wielded by the Predator or by the mouthed tongue of the Aliens.
"Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem" can be classified as a boring horror movie with Great science fiction undertones which merely appeal fans of gore. The fans were disappointed as the special effects are lackluster. The Aliens don't look any more convincing than they did in the 80s with lumbering movements resembling a marionette.
