What the hell happened to these two awesome franchises? Aliens was such a great film when it first debuted back in the mid-nineteen eighties. It was one of those horror flicks that put you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Predator was a great film as well. One of the best Arnold Schwarzenegger movies ever.
As for this latest spinoff? Aliens vs. Predator Requiem was just horrible. No character development, no plot, no suspense, no drama, no action, no chicks, no… You get the picture? Nothing in this film is worth watching. I’d easily rate this film a one which is the worst of my ratings, but I feel so horrible doing so because I was such a huge fanboy of both these two franchises growing up as a child.
My recommendation? Dont waste your time with this film. Its total garbage. I think Paki Punu’s Dragonwars might be just a tad better than this one.
Synopsis:
A little town in the hills of Colorado will become the battleground between two of the deadliest extra-terrestrial lifeforms – the Alien and the Predator. When a Predator scout ship crash-lands in the hills outside the town, Alien facehuggers are released in the crash, and an even more evil creature – a hybrid Alien/Predator – is also released. A man & his son hunting in the forests near the crash site soon become the first victims of the facehuggers, and when a Predator receives data about the crash on his home planet, he comes to Earth. One at a time, the inhabitants of the town become targets of the Aliens and the Predator, including the local sheriff, a young female soldier recently returned from Iraq, and several teens. Though the National Guard is called in, they are unable to stop the deadly creatures, and a plan is set in motion to destroy the town with a nuclear device… Written by Derek O’Cain
I totally agree! This movie is a total mess and not worth the money.

This is a film you watch after lifting weights. Its all adrenaline. Tons of action, a hot chick and its gory as hell. From a pure action stand point, its good. From any other standpoint, it blows but it is better than AvP 1.
My review for AvP:R
