Packed with adrenaline-pumping action and heart-stopping suspense, this spectacular sequel escalates the war between sci-fi's scariest movie icons!

On Earth everyone can hear you scream, especially when a horrifying PredAlien crash-lands near a small Colorado town, killing everyone it encounters-and producing countless Alien offspring-with terrifying efficiency. When a lone Predator arrives to "clean up" the infestation, it's an all-out battle to the death with no rules, no mercy, and hundreds of innocent people caught in the crossfire. As the creature carnage continues, a handful of human survivors attempt a daring escape, but the U.S. government may be hatching a deadly plan of its own...

graphic violence and lots of fear

I remember when both Alien and Predator were popular movies. BOTH had me pretty frightened as a young child with his mind constantly wondering and unsure what was even going on!

Now, many years later, I'm an adult now, and yet, I still feel somewhat scared when I watch the movies, because they portray humans unable to defend themselves against these huge POWERFUL creatures, and I think that's the thing that bothers me the most.

Alien vs. Predator was disturbing in that, it seemed whenever someone lost their life, their friends and family would die next, in graphic ways.

This movie shows everything from little kids having aliens shoot from their bellies while hunting in the woods, to pregnant women in hospitals having aliens munch through their stomach and stick their sharp dangerous teeth in the air, while the patients and nurses were forced to watch these graphic things happen.

This made Alien vs. Predator a VERY scary film. One I highly recommend. Everything from nurses getting their heads popped off, to sharp teeth chewing on peoples faces, to a pizza delivery boy getting his buns kicked by the new boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend.

It WILL be a bit hard keeping track of what's going on half the time though, because there's like, 20 different main characters in the film, showcasing a variety of different friends and families, and because the film takes place at night time for the most part, it's hard to tell who actually won the fight between the alien and the predator. I think the creature with green juice squirting out of him lost.

There WERE some predictable moments though, such as the monsters swimming through swimming pools while people were in the pool, and you KNEW they would swim after the people.

The amount of blood is very very high throughout the film.

Oh, and the ending scene is VERY cool.

Not a bad movie!

first off AVP R is a lot better than the original. I perferd the R rating over the PG-13.(It dident really matter there were like[...] kids watching it with there parents when i saw it in theaters.) The special effects are good and the acting is so-so. altho it is sort of predictable the deaths are good! Alot of memorable moments. Expecialy in the Unrated Version.

A More Likable Predator

In AVP:REQUIEM, the audience sees that a transformation has occurred in the character of the Predator. While the Alien remains the same mindless gore hungry killer that Sigourney Weaver first encountered in the original, the Predator has slowly begun to morph from the skull collecting trophy hunter that Arnold Schwarzenegger faced to a hunter that has a purpose over and above killing its prey. With each Predator sequel, we learn a bit more about what motivates the species. To begin with, for the first time we see its home world. As the last sequel AVP ended, a dead Predator was headed home when an Alien burst from its incubated host, thus beginning this movie. His vessel crashes back to earth and a message is sent to the Predator home world. What is of interest is that in previous Predator films, the Predators share one trait with our own Navy Seals: they will not let one of their own fall into the hands of the enemy. A Predator undertakes a solo mission to bring back or avenge the death of his comrade. Thus, the focus of the movie is less on the plight of the beleagured humans and more on whether the avenging Predator will succeed. We care very little for the human beings since they are nearly faceless and interchangeable. There are no Sigourney Weavers to make us care about their collective fate. A entire town in picked off one by one. Further, for the umpteenth time we are told that a heartless and shadowy government has its own means to contain the threat, one that deals more with eliminating it than rescuing the threatened townspeople. By default, the focus of attention in on the sole Predator's mission. There is plenty of gore, including even a disturbing scene in which an Alien enters a hospital nursery to find rows of unguarded and helpless human babies and heavily pregnant mothers. Such scenes add little to the forward thrust of the film since we have been thoroughly desensitized by the mass spilling of blood by those whom we have not had time to know. The mission of the Predator is what holds the film's disparate parts together. To the Predator, humanity is unimportant except insofar as to provide an opportunity to clean up the mess left by his erstwhile comrade. This Predator is much like any celluloid hero. He fearlessly faces staggering odds and in one scene performs in a way that reminded me of Errol Flynn in THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON as Flynn faces an oncoming Souix horde with no bullets and can do little else than draw his saber to face his fate. I came close to cheering this Predator but the level of interchangeable human deaths led me to accept the view that AVP:REQUIEM was little more than an excuse to give a slightly different tack to a series that is rapidly running out of reasons for further sequels.
